How Media Is Important To Me:
I believe that media is very important in my life. Everything I do in my life involves media. Media helps by distracting me from any problems I have. Media has a big influence on my life, noone likes saying it, but it's true.
My Top Three:
3. Video Games - They're awesome! Too bad i got Red Ring on my X-Box, now I'm stuck with those crappy old computer games.
2. Television - It keeps me updated on everything that goes on, I mostly only care about sports, but whatever.
1. Music - Without it, I don't know who I'd be. I listen to music 75% of the time. Thanks Bethoven, for starting all of it.
My Thoughts On Modern Popular Culture:
I think pop culture is too over-rated. I'm seeing a little more of Britney Spears than i care to see, and that scandal about Tiger Woods, how many people really believe he was running around with that many women? Come on, he's not Gene Simmons. But without pop culture, we wouldn't be hearing the music we are today, or watching the reality shows we are. So thanks anyway pop culture.
Desert Island:
Magazine - The Hockey News
Like I said, i'm all about sports, especially the Pens, so I want to be able to read what's going on during the pre-season, during the regular season, during the post-season, and during the off-season. Did you know they win 75% of the time when they go to the Stanley Cup Final? Yeah, they're good, should make another deep run in the playoffs, just have to watch Ovi and the Caps...
TV Show - Sportscentre
I don't like to read all the time, plus this is a media class, I'd rather watch it, than read it. Whether it be Mark Buehrle pitching a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Lebron James dunking over Tim Duncan, Carson Palmer driving the Bengals down field in the last minute, two games in a row, or Sidney Crosby raising the cup or scoring the overtime winner against the USA to win the gold medal in Vancouver. I really love my sports...
Video Game - NHL 10
How can you not like this game, it's the best sports game I've ever played. Be your favorite team, the Pens for me, and take them all the way to the Stanley Cup Final. Go online and play against people all over the world. It's just a great game...
Movie - Superbad
This has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. From start to finish it had me laughing. McMuffin, I mean McLovin, is the most nerdy kid I've ever seen in my life. Evan and Seth are totally in love with each other, there's no doubt about it...
Album - Fearless - Taylor Swift
Ok, she seems to be the only good girl around anymore, she's pretty, and I love her music, make fun of me if you want, but it won't change anything. I can listen to it wherever, whenever. She was singer of the year in 09', and has the potential to be singer of the year in 10'. Featuring the hits "Love Story", "Fifteen", and "You Belong With Me".
