Any work day where I don’t have to wake up early I consider the next best thing to a day off. Since I got extra moonlight hours tonight I thought a little writing would be fun, especially since I don’t use Tumblr chronically anymore. The recent weeks or so here just seem monotonous to me now, if you’re a female you get some leeway, you log in, see a guy with a six pack and some tats, look at hair styles with wardrobes you can rock, and just vent to your heart’s content. I log in, I see a pretty girl who I’ll never know but could probably never get with because someone reblogged a picture of Ryan Gosling and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, that feeling when the ego gets crushed. I don’t want to come off as saying Tumblr’s immature because I follow some really smart cookies here, but the everyday experience in general just seems pretty bland. Maybe it’s the fact that by brain seems to detest what’s repetitive, clocks ticking, faucets dripping, crickets singing, anything similar to that I won’t seem to take liking to after a while. Or maybe I’m in the wrong audience, seems like everyday I need to read a sad or mad post because something didn’t go as planned in your re-re-re-revised list of short term goals, I think that’s called “life” if I’m not mistaken. “But then what’s the point of a blog?”, I think to myself, it’s made to broadcast the good and the bad, maybe I need to complain more, “Am I the odd man out for not whining about what’s so unfair? Am I doing it right now? Do I sound like *them*?” I try not to be that kind of person. Certainly I don’t find being here anhedonic, I enjoy gifs, the nostalgia of childhood, favored pop culture, music, street art, and videos, even more so with it put all together, but it seems scarce compared to everything else, and when I do come across something good I feel like I logged into a watered-down Reddit.

Seems like there’s this plethora of options Tumblr can tap into to appeal to me, but I understand one can’t please all. This isn’t like a letter of resignation or anything either, like the “Friends” theme goes, “I’ll be there for you”, and I don’t want to be a bad friend.

Feel free to tell me if you feel the total opposite, that this is the alpha male of social networking and it’s small flaws are shadowed by the amazing features it offers, I’d like to hear from the other perspective.
