I know so much about these people'e lives that it feels like I in deed know them. There have been deaths in the celebrity world that happen that effect the world dramatically, such as of course Micheal Jackson, John Lennon, Anna Nicole Smith, Heath Ledger, Farrah Faucet, or Patrick Swayze. And just like ther person above me previously commented, for alot of these I remember where I was when I first heard about these. For example I was packing for a camping trip when I heard about Micheal Jackson's death and I was having lunch with my mother at "Montes" when I heard about Anna Nicole Smith. We feel like we know these people personally so of course their death effects us in ways that it probably shouldn't. Maybe this is "normal" but it is reality and it is how today's world is for most people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887611099343215170.post-9369979336757428862011-03-18T16:24:28.834-04:002011-03-18T16:24:28.834-04:00Living in the 21st century and the "new mille...Living in the 21st century and the "new millennium", it is amazing to see the events that took part in my lifetime. I always have discussions with my friends about how we've seen everything from boy-bands taking over the music industry and then - going away, to the Sox winning the World Series, and then seeing terrorist attack on our country. It's weird and amazing to think about because whether the event is a positive one such as the Sox, or has negative impact such as witnessing the World Trade Centers crumble to the ground on live television, you somehow always seem to remember exactly where you were when it happened. You remember who you were with, what you were doing, and you remember the reactions of the people around you. You begin to realize at that very moment that you have just capture a piece of history, and you then take it and it stays with you for your entire life. You also remember the feeling that ravaged through your body as you were caught up in the moments of these amazing events in our history, as well as how they were portrayed through the eyes of media. They have become MY popular culture, and remembering a somewhat of a time line of events, has shaped the way I see the world in 2011.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887611099343215170.post-80294209602258355932011-03-15T23:46:21.312-04:002011-03-15T23:46:21.312-04:00In my twenty-one years of living there has been ma...In my twenty-one years of living there has been many events in popular culture that have happened, some have affected me and others not so much. There is however there are a few events that have had a lot of impact on me, and they were when the Boston Red Sox Won the world series in 2004 and the pats winning the super bowl. I know that everyone says that the red sox winning was the biggest moment in there lives but it is always going to be a tome that I will remember watching games year after year with my dad hoping they would win. Also when the Pats won the supper bowl three times, is an important part of popular culture for me. As a kid growing watching sports has been something that my dad and I enjoyed doing together, as I get older and he gets older it will be the memory of watching the games that came down to the last seconds or the last out. I have been to many concerts and sporting events with friends throughout the years but when it comes down to it one day and im telling my kids about their grand father those are going to be the memories I want them to know the events in popular culture that has impacted me and the time I have spent with my dad. <br /><br />Kristen SaccoKristen Sacconoreply@blogger.com
