First Assignment?

Importance of Media to Me


I believe that media is kind of important in my life. I do listen to music a lot during the day, whether its in my room, or out in someone's car, so its typically there. Movies are pretty exciting, basically the comedies and action packed thrillers, maybe horror, but other then that I don't watch many movies.



Top Three
My first one would definately have to be music. Some of the bands i listen to, like The Beatles, or The Doors, have the kind of music that you can look into and it shapes you up to be a different person. You look deeper then the music to the meaning, and its very nice.

My second would be movies. I like a lot of action movies. Some good funny flicks i enjoy as well, especially movies with Seth Rogen in it like Superbad. That movie makes me want to be a cop, but i know it will never be like how they are in that movie.
My third would have to be books. I read books every so often, but not as much as i would like to. My favourite series would have to be The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter, it's just cool to picture the world like that, would be awesome. I even had a thing for the LOTR games for ps2, just because it was fun killing orcs and such.



Pop Culture to Me ...
I don't really care much about pop culture today. Its just how i feel, no offense or nothing. People like Kanye West just humiliate themselves in front of millions, and yeah its pretty funny, but deep down i really don't care about them. Those poor people just keep the rest of us entertained day to day. Although i do like new technologies, like cell phones, which make getting a hold of people more simple, and computer, because there fun. I also appreciate SONY for bringing out the ps3.





Desert Island Choice



Favourite - TV Show







My favourite tv show would have to be South Park 140%. That show is so funny, I can watch any episode as many times as i want, and would laugh everytime. Plus in a way it shows some kind of moral lesson at the end, whether it would be Kyle "you know what i learned today... i learned..." and he would go on about some ridiculous lesson.


Favourite - Movie












Would have to be Forest Gump. Mr. Tom Hanks plays a fabulous role in that movie as a mentally challenged guy living through the decades in the US. The sound track on the movie is awesome too, featuring some Jimi Hendrix, The Doors and CCR.




Favourite - Album







For sure my favourite album would have to be The Doors Album (1967). It was the first album they came out with that made them a big hit in the late 60's early 70's before Morrison's death in 72'. The songs on here are the amazing like "Light my Fire", and "The End" (10 min version).



Favourite - Video Game








I don't play many video games any more, if not any, but when i did, i was really into Diablo II Lord of Destruction for PC. I would play that game like 4 hours a day, it was pretty intense. I don't play it any more, but its all good.

Favourite - Book










My favourite book would have to be Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban. That book was probably my favourite out of the whole series. I would for sure go back and read that book again, but i don't own it any more, because i sold my whole set of Harry Potter at a garage sale for 10$. I liked the book because it presented the dementors and they were pretty intense. When he learned the EXPECTO PATRONUM it was so hallarious.
