Losing My Religion

Halo 2 came out yesterday and I forgot to purchase it. What's the point in being a huge dork if I can't even remember when video games come out anymore? It's certainly not for the sexy ladies on the Farscape newsgroups. I'm actually disappointed in myself over this. As a result, I have brought this up constantly today at work. Here's the conversation that I've repeated several times.

Random Coworker: Hey Cody, how's it going?
Me: Well, Halo 2 came out yesterday and I forgot to buy it.
Random Coworker: That's too bad.
Me: Yeah, I make myself want to vomit in digust. Why don't you do me a favor and just bludgeon me to death with the fax machine?
(awkward silence)
Random Coworker: Hey, I think my phone is ringing.
Me: Doesn't sound like it...
Random Coworker: I better go check, it's tricky like that!

If things keep going like this, I'll be one of those nerdy guys who's so nerdy, he doesn't even actually do nerdy things. You know, one of those dudes who's so out of it that he can't even keep up with Star Trek and Final Fantasy anymore. Instead, he spends all of his time with a telescope and a rock tumbler. Sweet Jesus, I'm not ready for that! Especially if it involves Renaissance Fairs, since I'll have to spend all of my money on chain mail and dragon incantations and other ridiculous crap. Let's hope I stumble and impale myself on my Darth Vader statue before any of this comes to pass.

In order to redeem myself, I will now disclose that I've been working on another site lately that's so dorky, it makes Goulash look like Soul Train. It's called the vlog and it's all about programming. If that's not enough to regain my geek stripes, then from now on, I'm aligning myself with the hip hop community. If you see a dude who won't stop screaming about his X Box and happens to possess lots of gold teeth and an alarm clock around his neck, please don't call him Cody. Instead, call him Gravy Boat 69. That's my rap name.
