I'll admit it. I like checking keywords to see who typed what to get to my blog. One of those keywords was, Jared Leto. Hey! I just posted a few words about the actor! Nothing big. So I wanted to see how easy it was to type his name in google search and find my blog. It wasn't. So, I really don't get it. No matter, however. I found some much more interesting information on the actor.
1st) His band is 30 Seconds to Mars.
2nd) He hates bloggers and blogging and wants blogging to die.
Okay, the first one is very cool because interestingly enough I have a couple of 30 Seconds to Mars, songs. I never knew that was his band. Shows you how much I pay attention. HA!
Now, the second one... I realize everyone is entitled to their opinion about blogging, but not all of us are untalented, just because we have a blog. He was quoted at Bloggers Blog, saying.. "It's just ridiculous. It's like a playground for four-year-olds. People say and do things in the world of blogs that they would never do in real life, and I think it's a false experience. You know, it's, like, eating too much candy."
Well, I for one find I can express myself better in writing. It has nothing to do with a blog. I had a website way before blogging was ever a thought in the world wide web's eye and I used it to express myself. I do say things on my bog that I do in real life. As a matter of fact, I blog about real life. So not every blogger is a no-talented phony.
Interestingly enough, acting can be portrayed the same way. Actors say and do things in front of the cameras that they would never say and do in real life. And just recently I discovered Jared Leto is on Instagram. To me Instagram is a false experience because you can edit photos of the real you. So, Mr. Jared Leto, that's what we call, calling the kettle black. Eat your words.

And Jared Leto didn't talk about every blogger.
Leto also said:
"One of the things along those lines that bothers me about when people start citing blogs as news sources is that when people are writing on these blogs, they feel like they don’t feel they need to do any research or back up their opinions with facts or anything."
Many rumours about him came from blogs because many people are not able to distinguish a blog from a serious source.
You can't deny that there are lots of blogs out there that have pretty much nothing to say, as well as blogs that have pretty much a lot to say.
Another thing is, Jared Leto didn't attack the bloggers, but the blogging, plus he didn't generalize it. People got it wrong, and that's why Jared Leto made many enemies.
It's really funny that almost every blogger feels that he has to defend himself because when you're serious, Leto's 'attack' doesn't concern you, right? ;-)

You have some great points. However, I'm still a fan of Leto, I just like pointing things out and thought it was interesting what he said. Thank You for your opinion. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of jared leto,i know everything about him,and at least i can just say that he only said he hates blogging,but not bloggers or anything else,like that is something for children about 4 years old..anyway,i'm giving jared the reason,'cause the blog is something where most of the people say false things..sorry about my english,i'm italian and i can't speak it very well..hope you'd understand what i mean..bye
ReplyDeleteHi there.. with regard to the hits on your site stemming from a google search on "jared leto"... just a thought.. if you google search and click on IMAGES it brings up the picture that you have of Jared on the first page of results (and a mighty fine picture it is!)... perhaps the reason?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteLooking at the hits for Jared, that's not the reason so many people visit my site. There are more searches for The Insane Writer than Jared Leto.lol
Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your insight. I do like Jared Leto. I just thought it was interesting what was written.
