A Bigger Geek Than Me
September 22nd, 2005As if I needed to prove that I’m willing to bite the hand that feeds me, or at the very least deliver small jabs at his apparently vulnerable geeky side, I’d just like to point out that PennLive’s Dillsburg Journal is blogged by none other then my real life boss. I learned this little tidbit recently, along with the discovery of the fact that my four month old has kept me far and away from my usual blogging routine—writing this blog, reading other blogs, and attending Harrisburg Blogger Meetups.
That’s not the greatest insult to my ego I can think of right now. Blogging was never really a top priority for me, even when I was doing it before they found a name for it. (No damnit, really, I was!! And I was listening to Green Day before they were popular too!).
I’ve just come to accept that I have a higher purpose than ranting about, well… anything. While not goodbye, or in any way a cut to the fine people who continue to uphold the fine tradition of blogging (yes, after like 5 years or so, it can be safely called a tradition), I may be trying to lower your future expectation here.
But back to my boss. In addition to being the “Baddist Bassist in Amish Country” (a statement one can only assume is entirely accurate, but perhaps a Jack Black style “bass off” is in order) he also claims to be the inventor of the word “retrosexual” which is a not so indirect way of saying that certain people point backwards in time when it comes to their attitude towards sex. At least, I think that’s what it’s supposed to mean.
I don’t know. Maybe I’ll ask him at work tomorrow. That is, if he doesn’t fire me for trying to steal his thunder first.
