Pop Culture: What's really real on TV?

I don't watch TV as much as I used to, but when I do, I usually watch The Real World and Family Guy. Both shows have realistic traits. For instance, The Real World is a show where strangers are picked to live in a house together and have their lives taped. The most current season took place in Washington D.C.. The show is realistic for a number of reasons. The strangers on the show become roommates and have to adjust to each other. The disagreements and arguements are real. Some of the arguements and disagreements can be about one roommate disagreeing with another roommate about their personal choices to one roommate sayin something to another roommate that they didn't like. Some people say that The Real World isn't realistic because they may think the show is scripted because of the disagreements.


Family Guy is an animated family sitcom about Peter Griffin and his family. The show can be realistic for a couple reasons. One reason is that the Griffins are a dysfunctional family. They go through real-life issues like everybody else in reality, but do so in a hilarious, comical way. The reasons that Family Guy can be unrealistic is because the youngest child, Stewie, is a talking baby that thinks like and sometimes acts like an adult. Brian, the family dog, can also talk and does the same things an adult would do.

Lil' Wayne "Rebirth" article response

I agree with the reviewer's opinion of Lil' Wayne's Rebirth album because the sound is out of what he usually does with his music. The majority of the songs he sings seem like he's forcing himself to sing. On the album, he also seems like he's not sure if he wants to do rock music or rap music. Although he aimed to show that he likes rock music as much as hip-hop, he's not the best singer but attempts to in songs such as "Prom Queen", "Knockout" featuring Nicki Minaj, and "Drop The World" featuring Eminem. "Drop The World" featuring Eminem sounds more like the works he has done in the past. The sound of that song has a hip-hop-rock type of feel to it. The other songs have a rock-n-roll feel to it. I like how Lil' Wayne showed that he can do other genres of music other than hip-hop, but it seems odd at the same time. The "Rebirth" album, Lil' Wayne's seventh album will not hurt his rap career bacause Lil' Wayne will have more albums in the future and as people like and will always listen to his music whether it's rock album or a hip-hop album.

I'm Mr. Solo Dolo (Nightmare) By Kid Cudi

Listen good, I don't have nobody. But what I might feel are the sounds of sanity. Hoping what I hear loops itself continuously. Then I won't be afraid. No no.
Oh woah woah woah. Why must it feel so wrong when I try to do right? Do right. Oh woah woah woah. Soaring through paradise when I'm closing my eyes. I'm Mr. Solo Dolo. Oh oh oh. Oh oh.
Look at me. You tell me just what u see. Am I speaking whom you may love or enemy? Am I speaking for you and yours or someone else? I need some answers. Yeah yeah.
Oh woah woah woah. Why must it feel so wrong when I try to do right? Do right. Oh woah woah woah. Soaring through paradise when I'm closing my eyes. I'm Mr. Solo Dolo. Oh oh oh. Oh oh.
My world turns. Flippin' the bird to the ones who figure me. Outkast no not the duo. Back to Shaker Heights when they knew little brother was a strange one boo hoo. Cry me a river. Hey look who. Try without an igloo. Cold cold world wasn't fit for me at all. Look at where I stand at, tall. Cut you my kid cudi bishos. Mute motha' fucka' back home click pause. Gargle on my mayo. Look at me. I bet I'm the one you think the feo. Floatin in my mind no sail. Ahoy! Ahoy!
Listen good, I don't have nobody. But what I might feel are the sounds of sanity. Hoping what I heat loops itself continuously. No I won't be afraid. Hey hey.
Oh woah woah woah. Why must I feel so wrong when I try to do right? Do right. Oh woah woah woah. Soaring through paradise when I'm closing my eyes. I'm Mr. Solo Dolo.
Why must I feel so right when I know it's wrong? It's wrong. When will I ever learn from the words of my songs? I'm Mr. Solo Dolo.

How I Became a Football Fan

How did I become a football fan? Well, I started liking football when I was 10 years old. I would hear my uncles yell and scream at the television. I remember the first team I liked which was the Jacksonville Jaguars. I had the coat with the team logo on it when I was little. I would ask lots of questions about why they did that. One christmas, a family friend gave me a football game for my playstation system. I think it was Madden NFL 2000. I would literally lie about getting my homework done just so I can play it when I got home from school. After that I became attached to pro football. Then, I started to watch the games with my uncles and grandparents and I started to get a better understanding of the game itself. I would even check out books from the school library. As I got older, I became able to explain to people what american football is. I don't talk about it as much but when I do people start to like it.

Lots of people have different choices of teams that they like. Alot of my friends like such teams as the Ravens, Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, and the Patriots. I personally like the Redskins. I get alot of grief of why I like that team but that's my opinion. Alot of my friends like the Cowboys. Even my mom likes the Cowboys, which kind of hurt cause both teams are rivals. I'm still trying to get over that though. My reason for liking the Redskins because they're the home team and that I like their will to win, even though lately they haven't had that result. I believe they will win more games next season and be in the playoffs.
