Today marks the day of the 83rd Academy Awards, aka, the Oscars, and eventhough I don't have regular television reception, I'm kind of excited this year. It's been a good year for movies, and I've seen more this past year than others. Today, I am having an Oscar kind of day, rehighlighting old reviews I've written in the past few months, and putting together a few new things as well.
The latest movie I watched was The Social Network. Throughout the movie, I kept thinking how much of a jerk Mark Zuckerman was, however, this was a movie and I know how everything gets a little amplified in Hollywood.
It also left me reminded of the power of the snowball effect, how one idea executed properly can snowball into so much more than anyone would've thought.
It is likely, that I have way too much on my writing agenda to get it all done. At minimum, I want to get in three more reviews for Best Picture contenders I have seen -- Black Swan, The Fighter, and The Social Network. I also have a textbroker assignment that can wait until tomorrow, but I hope to get it done if I can. All three are well deserving of recognition. I've already reviewed The King's Speech and The Kids Are Alright.
I haven't done as well as I could have. And every day the option of not pushing myself dwindles a little more. So here I go. Blogging, if anyone's listening and even if they aren't.
It's time to pick myself up, and start over every day. Keep trying to best myself, but not spend so much time on the failures that it trips me up. I feel the seed of confidence, but if I don't water it, it won't grow.
I just can let that happen.
