Ben is excited for the weekend.

4 more days until I get on that Airbus A320!

In my 26.98 years on this planet I have stored a lot of random information in my size 8 noggin', it's time to do a memory dump.

You know I am a nerd because:

-I have a blog with pictures of cars.
-I know which Pratt & Whitney and General Electric Turbofan engines were used in Grumman F-14 Tomcat fighter planes.
-I remember using Clarisworks on my Apple Macintosh LCIII.
-My first computer program I developed was on the Texas Instruments TI-82 graphing calculator. It was used in Pre-Calculus and was distributed for 3 years after I left Monte Vista.
-I know what it means to have "feature creep".
-I have been to a car meet.
-I know the displacements, power rating, internal identification code (S62), configuration and external features of every BMW engine ever made.
-I masturbate to Canon lenses.
-I have never been able to catch on to snowboarding, my nerdy knees can't handle it.
-I sit in the garage and microdetail my BBS wheels with a toothbrush, paintbrush and several different chemicals and polishes.
-I keep a constant eye on the progress of my flight through the Google Maps feature on Virgin America flights.
-Before I watch a movie I Wikipedia the cast, director and try to find out the plot.
-I obsessively watch Goodfellas, Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Heat and Forrest Gump when they are on TV.
-I can relate to Marshall and Ted, but not Barney.

-My first DVD was "Cruel Intentions"
-I organize my T-shirts by color, then by store/manufacturer.
-I care about spring rates and wheel offsets.
-I manually "code" HTML and discard any of the help that blog sites/message boards/eBay gives
-I get excited when I see a Boeing 747 airplane.
-My dream car is a 1994 Mercedes E500 AMG in silver.
-My favorite subject at SDSU was Politcal Science/History
-I have gotten into an argument with someone about prime vs. zoom lenses.
-My Dad used to take me and Kevin to Lindbergh field to watch the airplanes land and takeoff for fun.
