Take Cover!.. Idol’s On.. Never mind!

Tonight, the weather has been terrible in Georgia. All evening long there have been tornado warnings and tornado watches among the metro Atlanta area and surrounding counties. The news channels have been covering the reports since early this afternoon. Still, as I sit to write this Glenn Burns is reporting a tornado forming in Newnan.

Ahh!! I just heard thunder, loud thunder! Now, it’s pouring the rain outside my dorm.
Back to being serious, my cable just went out. I realize this is no big deal, but I just remembered American Idol is on Fox. :)

Cable is back on. As life threatening tornados can be, the thirteen year old girl inside of me is more interested in watching American Idol than seeing if a funnel cloud is headed my way. I just got to see if that Danny guy makes the top twelve. He can sing. He’s kinda cute too.
Yay! Danny made it too the next round. It amazes me how much American Idol has become a part of American society. To some, the television show even helps justify their definition of the ‘American Dream’.

American Idol is now in their eighth season of broadcasting. It has made the dreams of many come true and gave few the opportunity to create successful music careers. The show allows ‘normal’ everyday people the chance to prove their vocal talent and earn a recording contract. A recording contract that often leads to success and wealth.

I’ll Tell You My Dirty Little Secret

My initial reaction to opening http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ was immediate amusement and enjoyment. Being a user of MySpace and Facebook, I have seen/read many bumper stickers similar to the photos present. With this experience, I knew the photos combined with the text would demonstrate a humorous perspective to each ‘secret’.

The visuals on this site provide a visual approach to gain the interest of the viewers. Personally, while looking at the site, I felt some of the photos gave justice to the text, while some did not.

The importance of the written verses is to tell a story or in this case a secret. Without the texts, it would be impossible to understand the points behind each submission.

Between the verses and the photos, the one that speaks to me the most is the verses. I think this is because I feel the verses tell the story while the photos bring emphasis and humor.



The image above is the one that stuck out the most to me. I find it very humorous and believe this 'secret' is also shared with the majority of Americans nationwide. :D
