I'm a simple man. I see a tiny turtle with a pair of tiny katanas on its back, and I smile. I see a door stopper shaped like Hodor, and I laugh (and also cry a little). When some guys form a band where they dress up like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Smoke, and Reptile, I get a little happier. It's the small, nerdy things in life that make my day just a bit brighter.
Whether it's a clever pop culture reference or an adorable homage to my favorite characters, these little moments of geeky joy bring a smile to my face. Seeing creative expressions of fandom, like a decal of Morpheus letting you choose between the hot and cold water, reminds me of the fun and whimsy in the world. And when people go the extra mile, like forming a Mortal Kombat-themed band, it's a delightful reminder of the passion and creativity that make being a nerd so rewarding. These small, nerdy delights are what make life a bit more enjoyable and keep my spirits high.
