The world has shifted!

Oh..My..Gosh..

I think we've had this wrong all along! After some deep inner soul searching and reflection, it has come to my attention that, REALLY, HE be the Nerd, and I be the Hipster! GASP!!!  Can this be true?!?! Wait! "He" is now informing me that we may both be nerds and/or possibly hipster and hipster in training! What is happening? What. Is. Happening.

What are the definitions of nerd and hipster? Are they somewhat interchangeable? New York seems done with hipsters for the most part but I have to argue that those d-bag's shouldn't really be classified as "hipster." For one thing, you probably have heard of their favorite band, it's called "Nickleback," and frankly, I think everyone would prefer not to have heard of them.

I think the fact that I am even questioning the very definition of these labels proves that I am a nerd, that and the fact that I have read and own Tolkein's work, the movies, and quote nerdtastic lines from various cinematic goldmines is proof. Also, I think "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" may be my favorite movie of all time, at the moment.

In conclusion, well, I guess everything is back to normal. If you haven't checked out NerdsandHipsters.weebly.com you won't know what a completely stellar mustache the Hipster has. Yes, there is a picture, no it is not the main page picture. That was taken from our honeymoon drive across country, we were in Vegas at the time I believe. But, his page does show his awesomely mustachioed face so go and check it out. Right now. Don't be a nerd, or do, and go look at it. I know I would but I have the real thing so... you know.

p.s. after reading what I have thus written, "he" is asking that I make note that he still claims to not be a hipster. I find this funny. A) He recently showed me a pair of "hipster" eye protection goggles that he wants to get to wear in his wood and metal shop. B) He sports a curly mustache. C) He wants a bike with one giant wheel in front and a tiny wheel in the back... what are those called again? D) He owns a bowler hat. E) He is a male and loves his cat. F) He owns a cat. G) Really? I've gotten to "G" with some already pretty strong points. H) Also, most pairs of shoes that he owns are at least 40 years old. No really. He gets them cobbled. COBBLED. I) He has "officially," (his word), switched from regular old fishing to fly fishing. J)He makes his own rods. For reals. Maybe you should buy one. Maybe he should make one for you. Let's talk.

  1. Point made! He's a hipster, no doubt in my mind. You on the other hand, might be too hot to be a true nerd.
