Be who you are.

I figured it was time for me to step up and make my presence felt. I am the other half of Comics & Classics (the Comics part). My wife has blogged the first two times and I figured that I better say something so this thing doesn't get to girly.



The title of this post speaks to what I am going to talk about today. If you read the previous post by my wife you know that we went to Orlando-Con yesterday. A good time was had by all as we mingled with artists, writers, and other assorted individuals. I felt as if I was surrounded by OKP (Our Kind of People). We got pictures of a guy dressed up as a Storm Trooper and two ladies wearing Storm and Elektra costumes.



I've come to the conclusion that the key to being happy in life is to figure out who you are and live that way. When you try to deny who and what you are that's when you get into trouble. I'm a comic book geek (some people prefer nerd or loser), I say embrace it. It felt good to be around people who are just like me. The greatest thing in life is finding a woman who loves me for me and doesn't want me to stop reading comics or living in a world of fantasy, in fact she embraces it.



So, if you like comic books don't listen to your friends when they call you a nerd. Maybe you should find some new friends. That girl friend that thinks you're a loser because you like anime, get rid of her and go find that girl that we saw at another convention. The hot one with the t-shirt that says "I Love Nerds" Even better find one that's wearing a t-shirt that says "Geeks make me hot!" And if you're Family ostracizes you for loving superheroes, well.....I know you can't get rid of your family so just tell them that Bill Gates and Alan Greenspan were nerds and look at how it turned out for them.
