So the other day I decided to write that I was simply happy with a smiley at the end on my Facebook status. Almost immediately, conclusions were being drawn as to what my apparently cryptic status meant. It is incredible to me how modern tech has changed so many of the ways that we communicate, especially Facebook. It is dumbfounding to think that less than a decade ago, Facebook didn't even exist, and now it has become something of a standard form of communication around the globe. In everyone else's defense however, I intentionally wrote my status the way I did so as to not make everything that was going through my head obvious. I could only expect that I would get more questions regarding it. It is still surprising how taking out the word "simply" wouldn't have generated near the amount of responses that I got.
On a different note, I decided to go watch Captain America with one of my best friends last night to see what all the hype was about. I have to say I'm still not sure why it did so amazingly well at the box office this past weekend, but it was still a decent superhero movie. Some have said that it is merely a prequel to next summer's "Avengers" showdown, but I would heavily disagree. Take out the first and last five minutes of the movie, and it would almost seem like a completely unrelated superhero movie to the other Marvel superheroes that have shined on the silver screen the past few years. If you're a diehard fan of the Cap, there's no question you'll want to go see this ASAP, if you haven't already. But if you're like me and just looking for a good superhero movie, you might want to wait until the dollar theatre or DVD.
