Pre-Reading Blog #3

How do you perceive your popular culture? What does popular culture consist of in your world? Music? TV? The Web? Fashion? What attracted you to this particular section of popular culture? Why do you like it? How do you understand its history? Please end your blog with at least one good critical question.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My popular culture I would consider to be the backbone of everything in my life. It is the way in which I live my life everyday, and determines the actions in which I commit myself to each and everyday. In my world, popular culture determines what shows I watch on TV (anime, ‘Bones’, ‘House’, Lie to Me’), which movies I buy on Blu-Ray or DVD (which I usually buy anime, action, drama and adventure movies), what books I read (sci-fi and fantasy), and what music I listen to (alternative or classical). Fashion and the internet have never really been that important to me, but I do buy some brand name items every now and then, and I do use the internet for information and whatever else I have need of it for. The main reason that I became attracted to each topic that I like is not because it is popular culture, but because I honestly just came to it naturally. The Blu-Ray movies and games for PS3 and Xbox 360 is the closest thing to following popular culture. I like it because it makes me happy and it keeps my interest active and constantly thinking rather than doing nothing. I understands limited amount of history for each topic that I like, I just care about the here and now and what is to come, I tend to ignore the past. Is ignoring the past and looking to the future showing my complete ignorance? Or is it showing my capacity for the wish for something to succeed based off of the actions of the presence and what they are doing in the future rather than what they have done in the past?
