Randomness

It's amazing that I'm married. I am a total and complete nerd. Not the Dungeons and Dragons Playing Never Seen a Vagina For Real kind of nerd, but a nerd nonetheless.

I'll give some random examples of conversations I've gotten into with friends in the last few days.

Yesterday some friends and I got into a detailed discussion of the progressive changes in both technique and technology in both live and recording audio environments.

Previous conversations, discussions and/or debates...

The grand conspiracy of the government's allegiance with Wal-Mart and Clear Channel to make Americans spend all of their money in limited sectors making those corporations the controlling force in the American economy while the government enjoys the kickback.

The overrated, underperforming Ohio State Buckeyes Football Team.

The non-objective method of choosing teams for the BCS and National Championship of NCAA Football.

The Chinese manufacturing sector being fueled by ridiculously clever engineers that reverse engineer American made products and remanufacture them under a different name, using cheaper parts at extreme discounts that average Americans can't pass on causing the American economy to plummet at the same time that the Chinese economy is surging.

Possible methods of finding "The Brown Note" and its feasibility.

How the current economic structure of the United States of America is based more on scams than hard work and productivity.

How wining Fantasy Football is entirely mathematical and can be done without watching a game or being a fan.

The amazing redirect toward gay marriage and away from the failures of the administration that took advantage of Christian gullibility and won President Bush another term.

Which is the best Slayer Album?

The obvious benefits of Mac over PC and how the world, including our shop, will never catch on.

Some would think that while all of this bullshitting is going on I can't be getting any work done, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. It turns out, I'm a very lucky guy and get paid to be a complete nerd and work while these "Nerd Off" or "Geek Down" (as dubbed by E-Dubbz and Moe BEATs) conversations occur. I feel bad for the ones that have to work around asshole consumers, especially in the last 45 days of the year.
