The Art of Being Geeky: An Introduction

Being a Geek is an art form, it really is. It's not enough to just follow the vlogbrothers on YouTube (although that would technically make you a nerdfighter, we'll let that slide, they're essentially the same). It's also not enough to browse ThinkGeek every once in a while. And it's certainly not enough to read Engadget or Gizmodo every time you can be bothered to open your RSS reader.

It's all of these things, and more.

Being a Geek is a way of life, it's religiously checking Gizmodo, Engadget, YouTube, The Oatmeal, Hyperbole and a Half, and every other tech and internet meme blog on the internet (this is by no means an exhaustive list). 

It's making lame internet meme jokes when you're out with your "real life"  friends in the "real world". 

It's referencing a YouTube video that you just assume everybody has seen. 

It's correcting people's grammar just because you feel like it. 

It's getting in debates on Forums or the comments section of your favorite blog. (not to be confused with the actions of trolls on YouTube or Chatrooms for we shall not be associated with trolls.)

Being a Geek is something that you're born into, it's something that you live, It's not really something you can become.

So for all my Geeks out there, I introduce to you a new blog, a place where you can get your daily dose of Geek, a place where you'll (hopefully) laugh a lot, and a place where you can feel at home.

Welcome to OMGeeky. I hope you enjoy your stay.
