Exec Corner: Exec admits to being a ‘dork'

Why I'm a dork…

To start we should look up a legit definition for the term “dork” so let's go see what Wikipedia.org. says.  Wikipedia defines dork as: “A slang for a quirky and usually socially inept person, or one who is out of touch with contemporary trends.”

In reading that the truth stares me in the face, I must admit I'm a dork.  Now here's why.

For the record I'm a 25-year-old male who lives with his parents, does not have a ‘ride', or an ipod, a palm pilot or a blackberry, a full “G” license, or nun-chuck skills.  To expand on that when I go to watch a movie… alone, I have to look at the meaningless titles and the posters, which rarely reflect the content, and make my exciting decision of how I will spend the next 90 minutes of my life as a dork.

Let's just say I'm slightly out of touch with what “cooks,” which often smites me socially inept when it comes to what exactly it is you're talking about.

Don't get me wrong I want to talk with you, but as a dork you may not compute the words dancing off the tip of my tongue, because I have an ailment that makes my words and phrases come out backwards. It's like a dork's top-secret super-power for repelling “radicalness” (I made that word up because it's a top secret super-power).

By the way, Wikipedia also has this to say about the word dork: “The idea that it specifically refers to a whale's penis is generally regarded as true.”

Hmmm....

Moving on… let's hit on the “quirky” of what it means to be a dork. My motto in life is to remain like Switzerland ; neutral, and we all know Switzerland is brilliant to have such a philosophy, but when compared to the philosophies of the countries of the world it's quirky. So Switzerland could be considered as a collectively huge “dork”.

Back in the day my best friend and I would go to bars, do a dorky dance, and see how many girls we could not pick up in a night; it was like remaining neutral. Now if I had wanted to pick up I would have been in a horrible predicament because my pick up lines are so bad they don't even exist.  Here's a tip I heard, “Bad pick up lines label you as a dork in the bar scene.” Now with that mentioned the dork posse is probably pretty massive.

But there's a bright side to this, babes on the internet dig dorks and if I build them a cake or something maybe they'll reject me too, like Pedro, but that's all ok.  As a dork I get to live every day of my life in Awesome Town and life is really good not having to worry about things like social acceptance, hot dates, expensive trends, or having a pet liger

My name is J.P. Renzella, I ride a mighty blue Supercycle, and I'm a dork.
