Social Network

I watched the Social Network today.
Oustanding 5-star movie.  The timing of my watching had something to do w/ the FB IPO that occured 2 days prior.. but more because

  1. Was alone (gf in Hawaii)
  2. Was bored

Being bored and watching an inspiring movie like this is a great thing to do.  I ought to add this to my list of movies like Rudy and Gattaca.  It really shows how one person with talent and focus can create something.

I often feel like creating something... not sure if its a baby (or 2 or 30), but creating.. some product would be nice.  I doubt I could ever have the drive, talent, nor intuition to make a Facebook (well nobody can given its the largest IPO ever and largest most instant billionaire created ever).

I sometimes see myself quitting my job.. sitting on the beach.. or somewhere, spending a year or two building something in solitude...  but i also feel after a year I'd come to realize that there is no magic bullet.  I'd probably wind up spending a year pondering life not unlike what I'm doing now, but not getting much further along in building financial independence nor any new product/software.

Hehe.. yeah prob best I just collect paychecks...
