Ok everybody, I thought I would let you all know that I will be taking a short break from from the blog. It will only be for a couple of weeks so don't get too sad, ha, I'm not even sure if anybody still reads this, oh well. Due to the fact that I am in the middle of finals this and next week and then I am heading out on Wednesday to go back to Ohio for Lindseys graduation and then more finals that week and then I will be taking another trip back home after those for my two weeks of summer vacation. So I have a lot going on and then I have vacation which I hope that I will not be blogging on vacation cause that IS a little sad. So I will be back up and running again probably around the beginning of July.
So until next time everybody, I'm Jason Winnett and thats the way the cookie crumbles...

My Geek Status
Some of you may not realize this so I will try and break it to you as easy as I can.....I...am a Geek. Go ahead and take a moment for that to sink in...I know you all must be just blown away by that statement and I understand if it will take some time for you to come to terms with it, but it is imperative that you understand this fact in order to understand me and why I do some of the things that I do. It will also help you understand why certain things happen to me much of which I have blogged about before...
Having said all of this let me clarify that I am actually a lesser form of geekiness do to the fact that I actually like to socialize, I can kiss a girl without "wetting" myself, and I have never dressed up as Spoc or chewy. Although I do a mean Chewy growl, anyways, that’s not the point. What I'm trying to say is that as far as true geeks go, I am nowhere near that level so rest easy people, I will not get all teary eyed when the ewoks start dying at the end of Star Wars. Ok, so maybe I do a little...seriously, it's like a bunch of giant hamsters getting stepped on by enormous Terminators. You'd get a little sad too. You see, these "True" geeks refer to me as a normal guy with geeky tendencies, but I think I may have gone past that a little when I waited in line for over an hour just to get a copy of Halo 3 at the midnight release. And then proceeded to play the game all the way through until about nine in the morning. I couldn't help it, I was all hopped up on coca-cola and peanut butter M&M's...I know this sounds bad, but it's what I do and lets face it, the geek factor in my life generally leads to a story so it's not all bad.
I know some of you may think that I am underestimating my true geekiness, but I guarantee that you wouldn't think that if you spent just a few minutes with some of the kids at this school. Seriously, I had one kid talk to me for about 20 minutes on why he thought Battlestar Galactica is superior to Babylon V and why he thought that the shows were based on real events...true story. I also overheard some of the kids talking about Yu-Gi-Oh cards for over an hour, that one just straight up hurt, I'm pretty sure that permanently destroyed some of my IQ points...there is no coming back from hearing that conversation. A part of me seriously died that day. So feel lucky everyone that I don't have any Yu-Gi-Oh cards, I have never seen either Battlestar Galactica or Babylon V, and that I have never fantasized about princess Leia...ok, well 2 out of 3 isn't so bad right...
