I’m a huge fan of Epic Poetry or Epic Tales such as “Odyssey”, “Beowulf”, “King Arthur”, “The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, etc. However, I feel like the best “Epic Tales” are the ones on social networking websites. “Epic Profiles” is what I like to call them. The internet has made it so easy for an average joe to write their own story and show it to the world. People will literally market themselves based completely off of what their “Facebook Timeline”  and “Tweets” have to show. Comedians, Musicians, Writers, and even Local Businesses have done this to gain a fan base or clientele of some sort. However, these self made heros that create their “Epic Profiles” lack an editor to their stories. Or as most would call it, Public Relations. They’re writing their story on the internet in real time for everyone to view it. You getting that job promotion that you bragged about on Facebook is equivalent to Leonardo kicking Shredder to his doom at the end of Ninja Turtles. The difference between you and The Ninja Turtles though, is that when shredder comes back in the second movie…you know that The Ninja Turtles are going to handle it because it’s a story, not real life. How do I know if you get fired from that job you’ll be able to get back on your feet and not just let it turn you into a dead hero? The “Epic Profiles” of some celebrities that claim to have epic tales are prime examples of this. Dick Pics, Drunk Tweets, Racist Undertones in Status Updates. The more public a Hero goes the more his story changes and you realize they aren’t the Hero you thought they were. The key to staying a hero is by staying modest. You can’t have a story with out having actions, so let them speak for you.
