disaffected grunts of a disillusioned expatriate

I’ve tumbld on and off for the past 5 years or so.

1) This makes me very old

2) This makes me ahead of my time trend-wise

and 3) This makes me have a better understanding of tumblr than people who joined it in the past year or two since it’s become uber popular (why is that by the way?)

My conclusion thus far is this:

Tumblr is the best social outlet for English and Humanities majors.

Basically if you graduated college with a degree that barely certifies you to make coffee, Tumblr is where you will find a comforting home.

Tumblr, while is suitable for techy people who want to spend hours writing code and customizing stuff, is about as idiot proof as blogs come. Even wordpress seems like rocket science in comparison to Tumblr. 

Tumblr also fills the void English (and all other irrelevant) majors have when they feel the need to share their emotions, discuss their feelings, and gush about something mundane. 

By no means am I saying this is a bad thing.

On the contrary - for me, an English Major (that veered into Business) and self-proclaimed disgruntled expatriate, Tumblr is the perfect outlet.

Especially when I have something else to do.

Point in fact - during the past year I was in business school and therefore very busy.

As a result I had about -7 blog posts (yes, that’s a negative).

But now, post Business School, when I am back in the real world of working and paying bills, I have plenty of time.

I have co-workers who baffle me with their stupidity, I have interactions that would make a sane person insane, and I have lots of time in between the job I get paid to do to share with the world my opinions about love, life, and the middle east [among other things I know nothing about]

So thank you Tumblr for being an excellent source of procrastination.

I promise to keep blogging until I find something better to do.
