I'm a fan of entertainment. Well...that might be the understatement of the year. I'm a huge fan of it. Whether it's books, music, television, fashion, and especially film; it's what I live for.
That's been an interesting little problem in the college setting though. No, with my wireless internet, there's obviously not exactly a shortage of ways to get my media on campus.
But the bigger problem is that even though I'm one of its most ardent fans, I find it difficult to see everything, and in some days or weeks, anything. I'm not alone in that fact. I probably work hardest to get my weekly fix of that drug I care about most, but it becomes frustrating when no one else has. People have papers, tests, reading, and extracurricular to worry about; all of which are perfectly valid, not many have time to see the latest new movie every week, or read that fascinating article for leisure.
So when some piece of arcane pop culture arrives in the face of college students they rush to it like a fledgling calf to the teet. When a movie like "The Hangover" or a something like TV's "Glee" or a song like "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz hit the college vacuum it lingers for what seems like, to this purveyor of those things new and fresh, like old news. I can't force everyone to read up on what's going on, so I guess I have to suck it up and just accept it.
Ahh the frustration.
