Geek of The Week: Meet Anthony, Creator of the Geek Forum That's Taking Facebook By Storm

I met Anthony about two decades ago, and I'm being stingy with the time so not to reveal how ancient I truly am. We were high school kids in New York and life was fast paced. I never realized how unique he was because New York is full of diversity and well...eclectic people. Years later, I came to appreciate him in all his geekiness and realized that we had a common thread in all things geek and freak. So he is my geek of the week.
Anthony has spearheaded a group called Gamers Geeks and Comic Book Freaks, or GGCF if you're nasty... or geeky. This group allows all sorts of gamers, comic book lovers and self proclaimed geeks to share intellectual discussion, gaming advice, comic book news and more. It's the place on Facebook where all the geeks go and believe me, there is an army of them. Joining the group is pretty easy...just ask. Anthony has created many different forums within the group itself so he can direct you to the page that works best for you.
In addition to an online forum where people share common interests, GGCF has often been the place where geeks have fallen in love. There has been plenty romance within the group from members across the miles. While that's not the intention of the group, it is definitely a perk.
So what's in store for GGCF? Plenty. Anthony plans to grow his group beyond Facebook and provide meetups, apparel, and more. With a following of over 500 members and counting (that's just the groups that are visible to the public), I can see Anthony taking this concept very far.
Want more fun facts about this Geek God? Request an interview and I'll make it happen. I can schedule him for a Q & A session.
So check out the group and get your geek, gamer and comic book freak on.

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,

The Punisher: Relationship Prejudice

When started dating after separation, I did it in phases. The first phase was catch up. I wanted to catch up with every man I had a spark with to explore where it would have went had I not gotten married. Once I realized that these "what if's" were really "don't bother's" I moved on to try to find "the one." After several failed attempts and false starts with "the one" I began making rules. I didn't always know what I liked but I was certain after several failed relationships of what I didnt. However, now that I look back, I realize that plenty of the red flags that made me run were almost always a shared similarity with my ex. If a man said he was interested in anything my ex was interested in, I began to feel uneasy and delve deeper for more "flags". I'll even admit that if a man were from the same country or continent as my ex, I would get turned off. I now know that I was suffering from PTRD (Post Traumatic Re

The Secret Society Of Trump Supporters

I've heard at least a dozen people proclaim their disgust with the success of Donald Trumps Presidential campaign. I'm lying, it's been everywhere. On social media, articles, and conversation you hear plenty people express their disdain at the mere thought of Trump assuming office. Then there are the supporters. There are the people who openly express their support of Trump winning the White House. As time goes on, Trump's position is yet more secured and his supporters are also more secure in showing just how much they love him. It seems now that victory is within their grasp, they can more openly say : I helped make this happen. Those are the cowards. They won't openly defend their candidate but they quietly follow and support him. Those are the people who will say: "well there are some people who support Trump because he says what others won't say." Those people, are talking about themselves. They are far too timid to say what Trump says and he ha
