am i a dork?

i know just on that question alone, most would love to just say yes, but let me finish the question first.

i don't download, i listen to cds.
i don't multi-play online, i prefer to 1 player.
i don't have a myspace account or blog.
i have not had television for 3 years.
i sometimes enjoy reading magazines over novels.
i think that live shows are becoming to be a pain in the ass.

now may the insults begin.

i'd say you just seem like your average 20/30 something self righteous dude/chick…

This is the only one I can't fathom. All of the others I have gone thorugh phases of at least once in my life.

You can watch anything you want by downloading it right after it's aired. But given the fact that you don't download…


But I can easily see a computer taking the place of a TV and doing just as well a job.

self righteous - the belief that one's actions are better than others.

how did you come to such a easy conclusion based on the fact of what i said? it is what i enjoy.

enjoy - to take pleasure in.

just making this post was a good hint…

oh i forget; i called you an asshole in the hawthorne heights thread that was deleted.
i do apologize for that. for real.

for real - the truth.

sorry..maybe i am using the wrong word.

douchebag seems more fitting..zing!


things that make you an average "hipster"..or "cooler than thou"…or self righteous…

being vegan
not owning tv*
not downloading music (what about the artists maaaaann!!)*


those are the first 3 to come to my mind…so ya..im using the correct words…

bingo. i don't own a tv either, i watch DVDs on the big computer monitor, and i have yet to stumble across a TV show i can't live without. i have plenty of exposure to tv (i'm in a hotel again this week, prime time tv bores me completely). watching sports is the only reason i would want a tv. then again, catching a game is my impetus for getting out of the house (friends, bar, etc).

also, one can get HDTV over the air. i need to look into where antennas by my place are located, but i might be getting a HDTV card for my desktop soon.

The only thing that makes you a dork is asking whether you're a dork. Sort of like how asking "Is this gay?" is totally gay.

Brian

so in conclusion you are a self righteous/douchebag/dork.

i'm sorry, i wasn't being clear.

i don't download music, because i find it difficult compared to buying cds. plus i like stores.

i don't watch television because i was a tv zombie and it sucked my life away. i still watch dvds.

i'm not even sure what a hipster really is, and i tried being a vegan, but as brian would suggest, i love meat.

but most importantly, i don't think i care anymore. thanks brian for the gay comment; i knew you would "come" through.

if that's what self-righteous, douchebag, dorks do . . . then yes.

i don't get this thread.
are you trying to get 'cool points' for this or what?

i mean, who cares? really?

No self-righteous hipster would admit to liking Widespread Panic. Just throwing that out there.

I think I'm more of a dork for flipping between Rachel Ray, the View and Martha Stewart today. Working from home is really rough.

walkonby likes it when people make fun of him. It's some weird, sadomasochistic humiliation/pain thing. Similar to liking Widespread Panic.

Since you're a woman, isn't it required by law that you watch Rachel Ray, The View and Martha Stewart?
