I am the one that fixes your computer.  

I am the one hangs out at the bookstore everday.

I am the one who goes to the Star Trek convention with spock ears super glued to my head. 

I am the one who knows all the words to the lumberjack song.

I know what 42 is.

I am Geek... and this is my creed. 

My only limitations in life, are those of my hard drive.

I will strive to make the world a better place for newbies everywhere.

Being 1337 may not be everything but it will get me far.

The answer to all of life's problems may be found in the Meaning of Life.

The answer to all religious problems may be found in the Life of Brian.

The answer to all of the universe's problems may be found in the works of Douglas Adams. 

I know that a book can be my best friend.

I know the matrix has me.

My enemy is the blue screen.

My dungeon is my domain, traverse it wisely and with respect.

Hobbits are like geeks; they are not to be underestimated.

Look behind you it's a three headed monkey. 

Sleep is for the dead, until then, caffeine.

My code is my mantra.

When in doubt, recompile.

My comics are the pillars of my life.  

My synthesizer can do anything.

Walk softly and carry a large crowbar.  

Dating is overrated, but I'd like to try it someday.

Linux is my stability. 

Without my RAM my CPU is for naught.

The words "macintosh" and "smash" come sequentially.

Base ten is obsolete.

Knowledge is best passed in usenet.  

Flaming is a last resort.

Trolls are to be delt with swiftly.

Microsoft is the real Big Brother.

You cannot say the word "party" without preceding it with "LAN".

I will always be here.

I will not go away.

I will forever lurk your libraries.

I will forever run your networks.

I will forever be beside you snorting over a webcomic in the computer lab.

I will always be gaming, learning, collecting, calculating, coding, and plotting world domination nearby.

I am proud to be a Geek.

Signed,
Geeks Everywhere
