The Letter “A” is for Annie

By G. P. Avants Much of the history we know were taken from letters that people sent back-and-forth while corresponding. Unlike an email, letters were handwritten, unique, and one of time. You could equate a letter from a historical figure as finding gold. The stories, told, the wishes hoped for, and the love sustained really…

For Nerds Written by a Nerd

As an adult I went to found nerds at work, school, and church. They were everywhere! When I found my wife (Not a neek, but a neek supporter), she had two boys who were major neeks on lots of levels. How else could I be convinced to open up my Star Wars collection, so we could play for hours?

A Nerd’s Brand of Hero

By G.P. Avants  I think inside all of us is a hero that wants a chance to do something great. You know, we all want to change the world in some way. Can you relate? What can a neek do that compares with those who do great almost superhuman things?  As our character, Levy finds…

Toy Story 4: BoBeep, You Found Your Sheep

By G. P. Avants   Watching the trailers for Toy Story 4 I wasn’t sure about this next chapter. I wasn’t impressed. However, I have faith in Pixar and their craft at stories with real substance.   My faith was well-placed. We get a flashback to the day when Bo Peep left Andy’s home. We…

The Wonder of Waaaaaah 

Creative people have a unique capacity for deepness in all aspects of life. This piece is a reminder to embrace whatever God sends your way to become who you were created to be.

Khan!

“KHAN! How can one man’s name strike a different emotional response in three different people?” By G. P. Avants   With a new revival of the Star Trek franchise I have been dabbling into the series and feature films again. Since we at God Among Geeks and Neekology 101 love to explore the character of…
