Geek Gorgeous.......................................

We geeks are still regular people. Sure, we tinker with mathematics sharp enough to slice chromium or know enough tentacles of the Ruy Lopez to choke a chessboard; but let’s face it, after our long unbalanced days we need a recharge like everyone else. Fortunately, we have a familiar pattern of pastimes to recharge those LFP batteries of our souls. Discovering a high caloric chemical compound for a sugar substitute, for example, is enough of a refresher for the mildest chesterfield solanum tuberosum in us. Deep down we know there will be a sunflower day when people crave the taste of aspartame but want a little energy to go with it. Smart phone applications for the elderly, synthetic alligator skin for chic environmentalists: all endeavors too dubious for the masses but a relaxing fray into idleness for the true geek. The jock climbs the mountain on a rainy day because its there, we geeks let our hair down to reel in the future for the same reason. We may seem unbalanced and eccentric in our idleness, but that’s the time we get our big ideas. For fun we create what you dare not think. For work we capitalize on it.
