2. Control.

The sudden awakening to the fact that we need not search for anything is a very profound experience for many people. They have made fantastic efforts, and at last they have seen something of the Truth. Unfortunately, such people are likely to see the strenuous quality of their efforts as the…

Usually, I will repost something with links, or credit, or whatever. But I so dislike this article I have no desire to help you help her hit count.

To be clear, it is a Gizmodo writer who wrote this - used a dating service to go out with somebody and then bashed him in her blog because he…

First, go read Steve’s rebuttal.

Then, let’s take a moment to giggle at the word “rebuttal.” (BUTT!)

Finally, I wonder if this chick divulges that she is a complete asshole on her OKCupid profile? I bet she would be fine with someone who watches football, participates in a fantasy league, paints his team colors on himself and spends every Sunday plastered to the couch (note: I am not saying this is a bad thing. I am saying that this is socially acceptable uber-nerdery.)

But someone who is the BEST IN THE WORLD AT SOMETHING, has MADE MONEY OFF OF HIS HOBBY and has a LEGION OF FANS?

And note to the original author: Carrie Bradshaw will be mourned by her closet full of shoes and her credit card bills. I hope your Manolos give you the love you so desperately need.

Jon Finkle, I hope you’re knee-deep in pussy by now, but in case you’re not, I know plenty of geek girls who’d go out with you.

Love your favorite Nerd Yenta,

World Champion. Let’s repeat that: World. Fucking. Champion.

Keep on being you, Jon.

What everyone else said. What a shitty, shitty move.

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don’t let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live up all the days of your life.

Don’t give up when you still have something left to give. Nothing is really over till the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.

Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances, that we learn to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been but where you are going.

Life is not a race but a journey to be savoured every step of the way.
