Jeremy Simmons: The Blog

I'm sorry, but this is new reality TV stuff is just plain sad.

I happen to be a geek. Yes, I would rather spend a night at home than humping some hottie's leg on the dancefloor at the local bar while consuming vast amounts of booze to make the demoralizing social experience seem more like a normal humanitarian mating ritual. Lets face it. People who write code are usually more comfortable with a keyboard than a conversation with a flesh-and-blood woman. Why? Usuaully because the ones we've had contact with don't hold our interest near as well as the latest technical marvel of online gaming or release of Visual Studio. That should say something about both sides...
Facts and highly biased opinions aside, I really think every geeky guy (including self) is a pretty decent catch for a lot of reasons. As such, they are completely capable of finding attractive women who will find their geekiness attractive all on their own without the need of being paraded around like a bunch of circus freeks.

Geeks are real, and they have feelings, sometimes many more times in depth than a 'normal' person. I for one find this kind of thing reminscent of the archetypal classes we were put in during the highschool years. Come on, this is prime-time Television. Think of something original!

This is a batch script I made for running a Google Search. It supports up to 9 words which are space-delimited. For reference, it went in my %USERPROFILE% directory and is named gs.bat. Any other location which is in your %PATH% is also acceptable, I happen to use that directory because it's quick to get to. Just open the Run dialog box. ( + R) and type .  (thats a period)

The syntax is pretty easy,

gs word1 (word2 word3 word[n])

@echo off
IF [%1]==[] (GOTO Syntax) ELSE (GOTO Run)
:Run
SET QUERY=
IF NOT (%1)==() SET QUERY=%1
IF NOT (%2)==() SET QUERY=%QUERY%+%2
IF NOT (%3)==() SET QUERY=%QUERY%+%3
IF NOT (%4)==() SET QUERY=%QUERY%+%4
IF NOT (%5)==() SET QUERY=%QUERY%+%5
IF NOT (%6)==() SET QUERY=%QUERY%+%6
IF NOT (%7)==() SET QUERY=%QUERY%+%7
IF NOT (%8)==() SET QUERY=%QUERY%+%8
IF NOT (%9)==() SET QUERY=%QUERY%+%9
start http://www.google.com/search?q=%QUERY%
GOTO End
:Syntax
ECHO You must specify at least one word to search for
ECHO gs word1 word2 wordN
pause
:End
SET QUERY=%MYTEMP%
:EOF

Men, have you ever had a conversation with a woman and they start out like so,

You're a great guy and you do (insert generality here) really well. I've really enjoyed getting to know you (in this way).
HOWEVER, I'm seeing someone else. I have been since, (insert date while we were still getting to know eachother), and we recently (insert event which made them more serious).

OK, may I first say, women are manipulative bitches. With VERY VERY few exceptions to that rule. More so than I think men are. I think at some point, every woman is given a version of 'Art of War by SunTzu' retrofitted for making men believe that they are getting somewhere closer to a relationship, and then whammy, you didn't see my assassin squad sneak into your capital. Your president and senators are now all dead, your goverment is chaos and we win. Thanks for playing, now run along.

In all fairness, there has been an apt term coined to catagorize the slime of men in the same way. Player. To be fair, I hate both genders of Players, and if the world was according the Jeremy, then we would have some way of exacting somewhere near equivacable amounts of physical pain on these people they deem necessary to inflict upon us in emotional areas.

So, in closing, I would like to give a very big one-fingered solute to the women I’ve had dealings with this month who aren’t even worthy of repeating their names.
