(Inspired by Hamlet's soliloquy in "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare )

To geek or not to geek -- that is the question:

Whether 'tis better to discuss Star Wars

And revel in its mythology and storytelling

Or to rebel against the pressures of the indifferent

And therefore die in their arms of condescension

Nothing comes to mind

That could make me happier

When my dreams are littered with celluloid images of

Darth Vader fighting the rebel alliance

The Godfather making someone an offer he cannot refuse

Dom Cobb performing Inception on an oblivious target

These moments inspire and empower me

To ignore the ones who patronize and snoot about

I truly see critics crumble down before me in the future

While they pathetically try to shout their critiques

At me, a man who dusts off these words

Like an arbitrary bee that lands on my shoulder

It definitely will not last long there

Let that ignorant bee, that ignorant critic

Grunt and pout of self-failure and self-defeat

This love, this passion will not last a few years

But a lifetime

'Tis is not a drifting phase of my existence

It is my life, my career, my future

But a nagging problem clouds my mind

A problem that must be resolved quickly

How will I leave my legacy to my future sons and daughters?

Should I teach it before I die?

As I regale the naïve with my everlasting knowledge

This wisdom will carry on with the next generation

After I perish and meet the holy creator
