In some ways, I've wanted this day to come. Now that it has, I'm not sure if I like it. As I watch the world around me more and more people are embracing dorkiness. The bandwagon is being hoped on and I don't like it. I don't know when it happened but as I've taken in the sights, the past few weeks I've began to realize that dorks are now popular. The other day I saw a girl on the JBC campus walking down the sidewalk with a shirt that said 'Dorks are hot'. I stopped her and complimented her. But as I was walking back I began to think to myself; when did this happen? when did people actually start to like dorks? I thought the whole point of being a dork is the labeling of uncoolness and ugliness. And now there are chicks that think we are hot and people wanting to talk like us and people being as lame as possible because its cool to be a 'dork'. Justin's girlfriend uses leet on a regular basis, more and more guys are saying forms of pwn, ownage, owned ownsauce and even many girls too, for that matter. In no way am I refuting my dorkiness. I will never do that. But to me its like when your favorite band finally makes it big time and then everyone starts to love them you feel, in a since ripped off. I'm not pointing anyone out in particular, I always am here to welcome a fellow dork into admittance. However if that 'Dork' is saying he's uncool because it is in fact the cool thing to do, then he is in fact a traitor to all dorks everywhere. Your dorkiness should come from inside you, it is your being. Dorkiness cannot be superficial. People can try and act cool and succeed, but its a lot harder when you are cool and try to act dorky. Now I'm not saying that I dont want girls to think I'm hot, I think its great that chicks dig dorks and that more guys are embracing dorks as people. But The whole point of being a dork is to be horrible at being cool, if being dorks is the cool thing to do then dorkiness as we know it will cease to exist. I pray that day never comes. For I will surely die with my dorkiness.
