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!
