 Subject:  I'm a Model Geek and proud of it!List thread.  
  
 Date:  Aug 14, 2006
 From:  James Wechsler 
I've learned in life that there are many people who will try to define for me what is 'cool' and what isn't. They will also tell me what I should and shouldn't do, how I should act, and what I should like. They will range from indiviuals to corporations (i.e. marketing).

But there are 6 Billion + individuals living on this planet and absolutely no one can really define any of these things.

Want to label me a Geek for building models and playing Battletech? Do it. Why do I care? Family and friends and kindness are what really matter.

As Oddball said in Kelly's Heroes; 'stop with the negative waves'.

A geek and proud of it.

Jim
