I realized that it has been quite a while since my last blog post. And for my first blog post in such a long time, I had something really good planned, but halfway through writing it, I deleted all of it and decided to start over. It is a topic that I have talked about numerous times, championed for, and held out hope for, and as much as I would like things to change, I finally had that moment where I felt like I had something that I needed to say, and after finally getting it off of my chest, I could truly just let go.
So, instead of another long, lengthy post about something that no one cares about anymore, I am just gonna sum up briefly the point of the message that I was going to originally write.
June 17, 2011 marks a pretty great day. It’s the anniversary of when the greatest group of nerds ever to assemble got together for the very first time, and created the Super Uber Kickass Nerd Squad, which then evolved into the Super Uber Kickass Nerdcast. Man, I miss that show something fierce. The one thing I miss more than that show are the guys that helped me do it.
But, it doesn’t really matter if the show ever comes back or not. Because honestly, it was never really about the show. The only reason we ever started that show was because getting the five of us together at the same time was not always easy to do. So the show gave us all a chance to hang out, even if it wasn’t always in person. But somewhere down the line, it stopped being a chance to hang out, it stopped being about maintaining our friendship, and became something else entirely. And that is where it all fell apart.
Now, the show is long since gone, and I can’t tell you the last time that we all even talked to each other as a group. And to be honest, it sucks. Despite my several attempts to reassemble the group, it seems that it isn’t in the cards. Finally, I think that now I can come to terms with it, and finally let it go and move on.
But this day, June 17, will always be something that I remember. With lots of happy feelings, and lots of sad ones as well. And who knows, maybe someday, the planets will align, and just before the nerd-pocalypse is upon us, the nerds will re-assemble and take over the world once again. #neverforget #RIPSUKNS
