Craziness

Things have just been crazy these past couple of months, but I'm going to try to keep up with this better.

Fun things in the mail, I got a Right @ Home package from Glade which was cool. I've also got some thank you gifts, some stuff to try out, etc. Its been fun to go to the mailbox. Speaking of the mailbox this past weekend I went on Saturday to put a piece of mail in and there were like a million ants in the mailbox. I still haven't a clue what would have been in there to attract all the ants, but seriously I got the raid and it took like 15 minutes to clean it out, I was so grossed out.

This week has me making dinner for a friend, so I'm thinking Mexican night. I love to do theme nights.

As far as pop culture, my buddy Ashton is taking over for Charlie Sheen in 2 and 1/2 Men. I am interested to see how they do this. I might even have to go to Mom's to watch it. I mean I agree with canning Sheen, I mean he really messed up, I'm just wondering how they will incorporate a new person, the transition from old to new. Should make for some interesting blogs.

Also saw an article about how much it costs to be Lady Gaga, simple TOO MUCH! LOL

Article on fredericksburg.com

Unfortunately is it past my bedtime and I need to get some beauty sleep, but for anyone out there that did not know this, there was an article on fredericksburg.com about me and my run for VP of Pop Culture. So if you want to learn a little more about me go here.

My friend who was stationed in Japan is back in the US for now, but I am continuing to pray for her Husband who is serving our country by assisting with aid in Japan.

Japan

I just would like everyone to take a moment to pray for all those affected by the Earthquake in Japan. I have some friends stationed over there with the US military and we're hoping they are okay. I also am praying for other other areas like Hawaii that maybe affected by tsunamis.

Voting Ends TONIGHT! (11:59PM PST)

I can't believe that voting ends TONIGHT!! They are choosing 5 finalists and then 1 VP of Pop Culture the week of the March 14th. I am SOOO EXCITED I can't wait! I know I'll do a fantastic job as Vice President of Pop Culture. I want to show the world how much I know about movies, music and entertainment in general.

So this is my last request...if you haven't voted today (haven't voted at all) got HERE to vote for me to become VP of Pop Culture!

Tell your friends!

I never realized how hairy Robin Williams is until I saw a recent picture on Facebook. I was rather surprised to be honest. I still believe Robin Williams is an extremely funny guy. One of my fav movies has to be Mrs. Doubtfire! What a riot! Good message too. I really enjoy movies that are both entertaining and have a message in them.

Charlie Sheen is a mess. I feel for the guy, I hope he gets help. Never seem to know what's going to happen with him and now Rosanne Barr is apparently giving him advice...hmmm wonder how that will work...I loved Rosanne on Rosanne. Funny woman.

Well I will keep updating in the weeks ahead, I'm sure there will be more Charlie news, and maybe some other celebs will break headlines too. Never know around here.

Twitter ad Charlie Sheen

WOW! What a week its been for Pop Culture! Charlie, my man, give it a rest! Seriously you need to go and get some help. But what's his motivation in about 25 hours he got a million followers on Twitter which just says people are listening. I really hope for his sake that he pulls his act together because at the rate he's going he is not going to like the end.

Twitter is an interesting application, I never had any desire to tweet until recently and I'm learning there are ways to get free stuff/win stuff using twitter which one of my favorite words in the English Language is....FREE. I mean with the price of gas, we could all use a little free somethin' somethin'...right?

I will say I enjoy how Facebook and Twitter keep me connected to people all over the world. I mean if you think about this VP of Pop Culture campaign not many people would be able to do it 20 years ago, but now we walk around with the net in our pockets. Most people have smart phones which can pull up the net at any time.

I'm excited because I'm getting closer to 200 votes, I believe this morning I am at 168, but I NEED YOUR HELP! I can't do this alone! So if you haven't please go vote for me to become VP of Pop Culture, you won't be disappointed!

Hog calling...Pop culture??

I was discussing my run for VP of Pop Culture with my cousin who pointed out that both my Parents and he have been named State Hollering Champs. So that begs the question is Hog calling pop culture? I am sad to say probably not, unless Lady Gaga throws her hat into the ring..well them maybe it will be. Hog calling is interesting in the sense that there is a purpose to it, but that there are actual contests to showcase your talent and not just in the Mid-West states!

I saw the Pilot for Mr. Sunshine...can we say Matthew Perry was better on Friends? I have not watched the other episodes I try to give a series 3 tries..good ole baseball 3 strikes and you're out! So I will have to take the time to watch 2 more episodes. The nice thing about the Internet is I don't need TiVo to get some shows!

I hear there is this big show on tomorrow...something about a Golden Man...lol Just kidding! Of course I am well aware that the Oscars are tomorrow on ABC, and that James Franco and Anne Hathaway are going to be the presenters, who can miss their hysterical commercials? My fav is the one where Anne is tackled for a warderobe malfunction..SuperBowl anyone?? lol Which of course if you didn't see or hear about that the commercial is not all that funny, but seriously who didn't hear about it? I mean at the time it seemed to be covered by the media for weeks!

I promise I will watch the Oscars live, and post/tweet and Facebook my reaction to them. I hope you will stay tuned, but don't forget Vote for Me to become VP of Pop Culture

The Ellen Show

Okay if you haven't seen this yet..its TOTALLY worth the watch..."Cut the Chord" I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about Ellen DeGeneres, but if you think about it, she really does a lot of good for the community. Look at the auction for Justin Bieber's hair? She raised money for a good cause.

I will admit that this clip had me rolling, especially at the part where she says "I suck at Math!" I had to laugh because we normally would think science, but under the pressure she probably thought of all those Math classes where they had to learn different facts/measurements/etc.

Do you have Oscar fever? I know I've seen lots of stuff all over the media about the upcoming Oscars and I can't wait to see who's the best and worse dressed. Its almost like watching the Super Bowl just for the commercials.

Well its Friday night and I'm going to get caught up on some TV I missed out on this week, but if you haven't voted in the past 24 hours, then please go to my video and vote for me. I'm hoping to break 70 votes by midnight! I am so excited that I have so much support from friends right now in my quest to become Vice President of Pop Culture

Oh Charlie!

Announcement made that CBS has stopped production of "Two and a Half Men" for this season. Oh Charlie...I thought you had your act somewhat together? Are we going to have another Mel Gibson on our hands?

Seriously, I know that being popular is hard, but it seems like more and more celebs are cracking recently..or maybe we just want to focus on them because of all the upheaval in other places in the world.

I also am impatiently waiting for my prize from The Real Art Design Group. If you didn't play The Santa Claw according to their Facebook page, the line is a LOT shorter ;-) If you didn't have a clue that you could play The Santa Claw, well you need to at least go to the page or youtube it because it is quite impressive!

I'm excited because we are close to 60 votes! So if you haven't voted in the past 24 hours GET TO IT! Every vote counts and helps me reach my goal of Vice President of Pop Culture.

Allure survey

So I got a survey from Allure asking how influenced I am by their approval seals on make-up products. So I'm here to ask you, how influenced are you by the Allure Seal of Approval? I have to say for myself I am more likely to take a look at products that have their Seal especially the Reader's Choice because I know lots of women out there have tried the product and are happy with it. I mean if I'm going to try something typically I try something based on someone else's recommendation. If its a good price I'll be the first to try it, but a lot of times you talk to your friends and you try a new product. I am anxious to see how Garnier's new eye roller will work for me. I know I don't wear a lot of make-up, but I do like being in the know. I did sell Mary Kay Cosmetics for several years so I do know a little somethin' somethin' about make-up.

I am excited because we have almost broken 50 votes! I am so happy that my friends are joining the bandwagon and voting for me/helping me in my race to become America's VP of Pop Culture!

If you haven't voted today..WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? LOL Get over to Popchips and VOTE FOR ME!

Justin and Jennifer both get haircuts

I have to admit I laughed when Justin Bieber getting a haircut made national news and then Jennifer Aniston turned around and she made news for what? getting her hair cut.

Lilo is in trouble again...are we surprised? Myself? Not really. I really hope that she is able to clean up her act. Lindsey Lohan was such a good actress and I hate to see her totally falling apart.

Lady Gaga approves of fan video. I really like that Lady Gaga approves of her fans who make amazing videos. Its nice to know she can still be "real" with us common folks!

Can I just say how much I LOVE Katy Perry's Fireworks song? I think it has an awesome message, and every time I hear it on the radio I smile.

Big day in the campaign I broke 40 votes! BUT I have a long ways to go to reach my goal! So head over to Popchips VP search to vote for me! Remember you can vote once every 24 hours!

Grad School class directly relates...

Tonight in Grad School we talked about Cultural Literacy. So many people take for granted how much of our culture is learned as children in school. Often as a teacher and especially as an English as Second Language Teacher we have to teach culture to our students. Being aware of the culture is good, but it is always changing, so one must stay current.

As VP of Pop Culture it is my goal to stay current with Beiber Fever, Brittany's Comeback (if there is one...), Lady Gaga, and Popchips. Stay tuned for more blogs about what's going on in today's world as I try to become VP of Pop Culture!

Don't forget to Vote for me!
