once there was this geek 1

once there was this geek. he believed that he went through life in a waking dream state where he watched himself take a different path than the decision he actually made. he would watch in amazement as he complained about the measely amount of fries they served him at mcdonalds while he slowly walked to an empty table resigned to the half filled fries carton. he's not aware of it but he's about to change into a different man, a man who will not take it sitting down when they serve him an amount of fries not equal to the cost at which he paid. it'll be about a girl at the office. its always about a girl.

our geek is a creature of habit. he wakes up to the sound of the same alarm clock that he had since grade school when playing family computer games late at night forced him to rely on other means to get his ass out of bed. we can rest assured that if ever he has to replace the clock he will buy one that sounds eerily alike. upon closer inspection of the fabric making up all his office wear pants they have different tinged colours of charcoal gray. from afar they all look the same. if the office didn't have different colours for long sleeve shirt tops the males had to wear he would have five white ones in his closet. he has only one pair of black leather shoes that look like the were left over from his grade school days. his car is an excellently maintained volkswagen beetle, the only point of both envy and frustration of his male co-workers. envy because of his ride, frustration because he seems unaware of his luck. a car that was handed down to him as a graduation present from an equally unaware uncle. he sees it as a free car and nothing else.

and yes, he still lives with his parents.
