Shelle's Edit: Daddy Geek Boy or DGB as I call him :) has been with Real World from the beginning (Even though I LOVE the movie Transformers and he, well DOESN'T, he's still around...imagine that!). The thing that I love about his writing is that I feel like I'm sitting on a chair across from him. His writing makes me feel like I'm right there in the moment of what he's talking about. If you don't know what I mean then you should read his blog, especially when he talks about his kids, wife, movies, or his extremely weird obsession with bacon-but he is his own self proclaimed critique of food (in fact, his top 5 categories are parenting, The Bean a.k.a. his kid, movies, food and his Wife!). He's definitely one of the best kind of people to work with and I'm so very very happy and lucky that he writes here at Real World as one of the Mars Team.

Wow its amazing how you are able to describe yourself perfectly in so few words...
This is one area where I am totally at a loss...i find it virtually impossible to describe myself.
Well done!
I've obviously read this before...
Ya'll should read that 4 part series about surgery on his privates because it's kind of hilarious!
Jana...Thanks!
Sage...Again...thanks!
Shelle...The kind words, I'm blushing!
Oh and Shelle...about the Transformers movies...you know that I don't begrudge anyone's personal opinions, but in this case you're wrong! :)
That is very nice. Short and Sweet.
I've been a DGB fan for quite awhile. I love that he shares his views here on RWVM! They are always fresh and interesting.
And yes, his obsession with bacon is a bit strange...
There is nothing wrong with bacon, unless there isn't enough of it.
Also, the Transformers movies would be unwatchable without Megan Fox in them, but with her...
LOL- No way!!! I think you already had a deep seeded bias against it. That is my theory and I'm sticking to it!
SciFi Dad *Shelle shakes head* she is good for the movie I agree, but for me...Shia Labeouf makes that movie. Not his looks but his wit and character personality! True story.
DGB, you are a fine man!
Good to finally get to know you.
You rawk. ;)
DGB!!
Sci Fi...If I want to see Megan Fox looking hot, there are plenty of photos of her in magazines and on the internet. I don't need to waste 2 hours surrounding her with a horrible movie.
Shelle...Agreed that Shia is the best thing in the movies. He actually shows up committed to trying to make a bad movie work.
And what's this about a weird obsession with bacon? There's nothing weird about bacon.
Your wife made me giggle. I mean your stuff was good too ;)
I second your wife's comment. And I like you motto even if you borrowed it from google.
Just found DGB... love dudes admiting they're geeks like myself.
I personally love Transformers. It's not what you call a real "thinker" of a movie. Just a "popcorn" movie. Freakin' Megan Fox is RE-DONK-ULOUS in the movie... come to think of it... I wrote a movie review on it!

Handstowar...Well, now you've done it. You've invited me to go over to your blog, read your review and respond with all the reasons why I hate the T-FORMERS movies. Not even the funny version, the serious soap-box version.
Sorry.
(But not really.)
Shelle...I know pop culture is not your thing here, but if you ever want to do a he-said/she-said about the Transformers movies, I'm all over it.
HA! Well if we need a filler than it's on...only you get technical about movies and I just give the... WOW that was a fun movie to watch side of the whole argument! :)
