Day 67 – Bow Ties and Nerds

First, thank you MasterInIt.org for the infographic and Geeks are Sexy: Tech, Science, and Social News for sharing this.

So are nerds the ones wearing bow ties as this infographic suggests? Then am I a nerds…perhaps in some ways but with any general categorization of a person, I may have some but not all the traits. Individuals are more than a simple generalization base upon some “norm.” So I will continue to wear my bow ties, read philosophy, enjoy medieval history, and take comfort in that I have good friends that see me as a person not a type.

Day 50 – A Question of Why

I am still trying to think of a simple answer to the question of why I wear bow ties. The simple answer is that I am human with all the follies and foibles that come with that. So I wear bow ties to express being human in my own way.

I enjoy being a little formal. Perhaps that makes me antiquated, perhaps hip in some post-modern way. But mostly, it makes me human to express myself. Bow ties permit me to wear colors that I would not otherwise do. They are off-beat but not too strange. Mostly people tell me that they like them, so that speaks to my vanity.

Maybe there is no simple answer, where the bow ties are a sign that signify a multilayer belief in both the past and future.
