Jack of all trades...

I've always had a lot of interests; been passionate about a lot of things. Food, comics, movies, TV, collectibles, writing, just to name a few.

Despite all of these interests, I constantly feel frustrated.  Frustrated because I want to have a hobby. Do something outside of work that makes me happy, keeps me interested, and lets me be creative.  Shouldn't be a problem right?  I have a laundry list of things I could do to be creative and pursue a passion.  Well, that's the problem, I have so many things I *could* do that I end up not doing anything.

I'm not an introvert.  I'm typically gregarious and have been known to talk a fair amount.  Those around me are well aware of my struggle.  What have people said to me?  Good question.  I've heard everything from "you have a problem, you need to pick something and just focus on that" to "you know, you're passionate about so much, I wish I was like that."

I finally came to the conclusion that it's OK to be passionate about a lot of things.  It's OK to have a lot of interests, I just needed a way to harness them.  I needed a way to pull them all together...and here it is; a blog (and at times, a cathartic exercise...sorry!).

This will be a blog about all things geeky.  Whether I love it or hate it, regardless of fandom, it will likely end up here.  Simon Pegg said it best...

So if you're reading this because you accidentally stumbled on this blog due to a rare glitch at Google that generated a series of search results that had nothing to do with what you searched for, I hope you check back to read about all geeky.
