Lightening Bolt! A nerd rant

LARPing (Live Action Role Playing) if you've never heard of this gold mine of "nerdom" then I suggest you watch this video. LARP is basically World of Warcraft mixed with a cracked out Renaissance Fair acted out by the nerds who got tired of sitting in front of their computers for 11 hours straight slaying warthogs to level up their Paladins. They give each other names like Kuzzik, Artonious, and the Mighty Quinn (there's the Manfred Mann reference for you)

The movie Role Models really opened up the world of LARP to basically everyone not nerdy enough to try it. I liked the way they did it, making it fun for everyone even LARPers (I think that's right). Check out the only decent clip I could get on youtube.

Hopefully you learned something new with this one...I'm gonna go drink some Margaritas now...

Probably not that funny...but intros are intros

So this is my first actual blog...it probably won't be funny, interesting, or even the slightest bit useful considering I don't know which direction I'm going to take it yet. All I know is my brother has one and he likes it.

I guess I could fill it with recipes I've tried, movies I recommend, and toilet humor and "thats what she said" jokes...but I'll probably just end up doing Nothing, a blog about nothing, sounds intreguing.

Time for an intro. I'm JD and I'm a lazy ex Mascot turned college student studying history. I'm a fan of music, sports, stupid funny movies, even stupider jokes, and pina coladas and getting caught in the rain (Rupert Holmes reference???).

Well I think that'll do for a first post...maybe if you play your cards right I'll give you a Manfred Mann reference next time...
