Sex in the Newsroom

I have to admit that I wasn't the least bit excited about this movie until I just watched the trailer. Granted I always wanted to be a journalist my entire life, Carrie Bradshaw made it a reality. Ironic since she is a fictional character. She had the shoes I wanted, the clothes, the job, the friends...I was living the single life vicariously through her. I was living my dream through her.

I always thought having a career in journalism would be awesome. Until I took in the harsh realities of the real world and Prof. Good. I don't mind deadlines, I mind when interviews are scheduled FOR me without my consent. I don't mind dealing with the freelancers and interns, I mind when I know more about a company than the CEO does. I don't mind writing about a shallow industry, I mind when J.Lo having her babies is the most important news of the day.

Carrie never really cared that she didn't fit in. I don't care either, but I don't fit in with political writing, business writing and really any writing at all. I like to write what I like, witty and entertaining. I like writing about people, amazing people. People that inspire me, people that make me think and make me a better person at the end of the day. Unfortunately, teenagers don't like reading that shit.

Off to the dark side I go.
