Nerdgasm

Most of you know that I am a self proclaimed nerd/geek. On my foray into Barnes & Noble last night (which is my adult version of Toys R Us), I came across a beautiful printing of Dante's Inferno. Now this is where the nerdgasm comes into play. The book was a beautifully bound  hardcover, with original etchings and gold laced pages. It even had a ribbon place marker sewn into it. You just dont see books put together like this anymore. Now I've read Inferno before, but just seeing this gem I had to buy it. Now how much of a nerd am I if I HAD to buy a book because it was amazingly put together.

Ahhhh books, they have been my saving grace for countless years, my only way of escaping. Another nerd fact about myself: I read fantasy. You know, those books with wizards and dragons and people with really big ears. Most of these books people write off as being childish and immature. But the ones I read are mostly about war, struggling and persevering.

There is something about a war torn struggle that pulls at my heart strings. Something about an individual who sacrifices everything and charges into battle just to save his hearth and home. About people struggling in a tyrannical political state. And also about love.

Yes I said love. I'm a sap for love stories. In these books love is unconditional and pure. They dont have the distractions and technology modern day humanity has. When they fall in love it is fierce and unrelenting. But like in real life and in literature, these tales of love never end well. Always one dies, or one sacrifices their self so the other may live. Excuse my language, but that is fucking beautiful.

But alas my readers, the only thing beautiful about relationships in our world is how quickly they they end. Now this may sound a little jaded but it is the truth. Ahhhhhhh but we forgot perseverance!

 Perseverance is the other part of the equation. After we end a relationship on a bad note, we must not be bitter at the world, and trudge through this life grumbling and mumbling to ourselves. While we have our head down kicking rocks, an amazing world is passing us by. All you have to do is pick up your head and open your eyes.

Now I dont know how a nerd blog turned into a relationship rant, but fuck you its my blog and I'll cry if I want. Haha I love my readers.
