The fact that I find so much enjoyment out of Facebook now disturbs me. Not because it’s grossly addicting and I’m not the only one out there who is, [I’m sure of it,] but because I had no idea how much drama was involved in the creation of it.
Now, before I get stabbed and maimed for implying that The Social Network was a literal interpretation of what really happened between Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin and those involved, I have to defend myself in this second paragraph that though I’m aware it definitely was not a literal interpretation, some of the story has to come from somewhere. And that is what I’m arguing.
In all seriousness, the lawsuits did happen, and ties were definitely damaged, if not cut.
So where I’m getting at is, The Social Network was fucking amazing.
I wholeheartedly enjoyed it and look forward to what Jesse Eisenberg has to offer because quite frankly, he did a fantastic job. I can’t say his portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg was particularly fair, since I’ve never met Mark Zuckerberg, nor do I believe I ever will, but as far as acting goes, that was a fantastic performance.
… I’ve been having such a hard time thinking of things to post on tumblr, and after my whole blurb up there about a movie I just saw an hour ago, I realize that it really isn’t that hard. I mean, it isn’t like anyone is reading the crap I scribble on here anyway, but I feel like I’ve been trying to prove to myself that I have to write about things people might give a shit about before I decided to share to the world that I’ve had a tumblr for a couple of years.
Now that I think about it, I really didn’t need to make it so hard on myself because nobody does care. Hell, nobody even knows. XD Ridic. I guess I’m just too critical of myself because honestly, I wouldn’t read any of the crap I posted on here either. So why would anyone else? And then it came to me: my tagline is: “Puppies, blank books, inspirations, and all that finds its way in between.”
That is how much leg room I gave myself when I made this tumblr. How could I have forgotten? I mean, when it comes down to it, blogs are essentially newspaper columns. “Me me me me me.” And occasionally, the “You them us me it.”
So to make it easier for my mind to process, this blog is my column. My editorials, my “Marley & Me.”
I’ve been wanting to find a way to include my journalism background back into my life without having to deal with deadlines and paste ups and reporting, and this is it. I can’t believe it never crossed my mind before.
I must be stupid.
