Nerds (Merch excerpt)

When I hear the word "nerd," the thing that comes to mind is someone deeply entrenched in an item's information. Then I picture Lewis from Revenge of the Nerds . Then, as my thoughts continue to race, I imagine computers, comic books, Dungeons and Dragons, and all four seasons of The IT Crowd. When I was reading my dictionary and came across the word "nerd", I was slightly taken aback by the definition. "A gauche person." Thanks to the last great American dynasty, the word gauche is present in the consciousness, so I am aware of the adjective's definition. Using substitution property, a person lacking in ease and grace of manner, awkward and tactless, is – by definition - a nerd. What caught my attention was the lack of reference to genius. Nerds are almost always represented as highly intelligent, brainy, brilliant people. However, according to ole Oxy, what made one a nerd was not the brain, but the behavior. Which made me wonder... were Compton ...

Will Change

So scared of brand new people Security found in old, old friends Maybe one day that will change

"Hold please" means you need to hold You need to stop talking to me, sir I can't hear you, you're on hold

Changing Seasons Hillary Reynolds: My new favorite album

Changing Seasons Hillary Reynolds I love beautiful music. I love independent music. And I especially love beautiful independent music made by friends. So, I'm excited to share my new favorite album,  Changing Seasons  by Hillary Reynolds, a gorgeous independent album created by a friend.  I had the pleasure of performing at a variety show called the Parachute Show, held in Hillary's backyard under a huge, colorful parachute. It was there that I first met Hillary and got to experience her amazing voice and equally amazing songwriting. I immediately wanted more music. Not long after meeting Hillary, she dropped a video for the first song off the album,  Can't Turn Off My Mind  (watch  here ). If the goal of dropping this single was to create anticipation for the album, it worked.  Changing Seasons  dropped at 9 pm PST on August 7th, and I listened to it three times before going to bed. I love this album. It stays in rotation. Changing Seasons  ...
