If you want a more geeky life, turn to page...

You have possibly just stumbled across one of the most life-changing blogs ever... of all time.  Here's how it works.  Do you remember those books that used to be popular before RPGs were invented?  The ones that let you choose which page to turn to next -- "choose your own adventure," if you will?

This blog is just like that... except for the decisions you make will affect me, not you.

How about that?  You get to change someone's life!  That's what I meant by "one of the most life-changing blogs ever... of all time."

All kidding aside, I honestly do want help from my readers, and I don't think you'll be helping just me.  If you read the "About Me" page, you'll see that I've been a geek for a while, but I have only just recently started having the desire to participate openly with the growing geek culture online.  The easiest and best way for me to do that right now is to blog about geek experiences I have through a new post at least once every two weeks, possibly even more often than that if my fancy leads me down such paths.

This is where you come in: anytime your fancy leads you down this path, I want you to give me your suggestions for improving my geek life.  You can do this by leaving me a comment on any of my posts, or through the contact information I have listed on the "Contact Me" page.  The types of suggestions I'm looking for are as follows:
  • a book I may not have touched before
  • a comic book I should read
  • a game that cannot be passed up
  • a film that needs to be seen before I die
Need more guidelines?  Easy.  I adore science fiction and fantasy genres, and superheroes are pretty darn hard to beat, too.  Apocalypse stories are always a welcome bit of intensity, as are zombie stories.  Actually, hilarious zombie stories are the best, like Shaun of the Dead.  Console, computer, and tabletop/board games are fabulous.  You can throw in some nerdy topics there, too; I don't really see a huge difference between the two, other than I am simply NOT into the latest gadgets (yes, I don't have an Android smartphone OR an iPad).

What I hope to accomplish in this blog is a continual discovery and consistent growing of knowledge in my life for all things geek.  Hopefully, if I write thoughtful, unique, or even just delightful posts, whether inspired by my own findings or from your suggestions, I think we can all benefit from this little experiment.  So start sharing and suggesting; I'm looking forward to see how you're going to geek my life.
