iPopCulture.NET

So here I am with my first post on iPopCulture.net. Pardon my conceit but its seems pretty cool to be able to have my own blog. I’ve actually been writing a blog on an “unnamed” social networking site since 2004. I won’t tell you what the site is, but I will promise you that I won’t steal your credit card information, send you spam, encourage you to win a PS3 by hitting all of the targets above, or cause you to lose friendships because of who is (or isn’t) in your top friends. (My apologies to “Tom”–it’s nothing personal buddy!)

So I guess I should give a little rundown of what this blog will be about. I know the name gives some of it away, but there’s much more to it. The contents, writing, etc. of this blog will be aimed at teenagers, parents of teenagers, and anyone who works with, lives with, or knows teenagers. Simple enough, right?

You’ll find all sorts of random posts on this blog once I get going. Sometimes I will share the most random ideas with you that might actually make you crack a smile. Other times I may delve into something a tad more serious. Nonetheless, this blog is not just about me, but about the people who read it. Without others, this is nothing more than an online diary. I love getting feedback from people, positive and negative. And maybe, just maybe, you might find something on there that is enjoyable and maybe even beneficial!

I am going to try and post at least twice a week. Right now I am tentatively planning on writing something on Tuesday and Friday. Knowing my random mind, I will probably switch that up to keep people on their toes. 

So, I’m ready to jump right in! In the Fall editions of Horizon and Direction (high school and junior high magazines/Sunday School curriculum), there is an article introducing me to the readers. Well, the information that is listed says it came straight off my blog. So…to keep things honest, here is a look into my crazy, random, and scary mind:

- The human body is immune to bar soap

- Pizza has a higher approval rating than any President in our history

- Body odor is hereditary

 - Flowers are too expensive for something that grows naturally out of the ground

 - The definition of disappointment: thinking you bought Ritz Bitz Cheese Crackers and finding out you bought Ritz Bitz Peanut Butter Crackers

 - If price gouging is illegal for gasoline, it should also be illegal for flowers on Valentine’s Day

 - You’d be amazed at how far I can throw an iPhone when you brag about having one


 - My life goal is to have my name appear on ESPN’s Bottom Line: “ESPN.com reports that David Jones signs a 2-year extension with Cingular.”


 - Spongebob Squarepants actually has rectanglepants


 - Was there really a need to make Chocolate Skittles? Did some innovative genius forget that we already have this little-known product called M&M’s? 


 - It might be time for the Trix rabbit to give up


 - Did I miss the memo that said all fat guys at football games must take off their shirts and wear rainbow wigs? 


 - The Teapot in “I’m a Little Teapot” has anger issues


 - Does the 5-second rule apply to other people’s gum? 


 - Someone explain to me the theological significance of the song, “Deep and Wide”


 - The McDonald’s menu says that smiles are free . . . but I think they’re always out when I’m there

 - Life would be better if pizza, burgers, fries, and chocolate were part of the food pyramid and carrots, beans, and cauliflower were considered bad for you


 - McDonald’s now sells hot coffee and iced coffee. They’re acting like it’s revolutionary because you can order the same item hot or cold. However, anyone who has ever eaten at McDonald’s knows your food can always be hot or cold . . . regardless of what you ask for


 - If Burger King and Dairy Queen got married, that dynasty would last forever!


 - No person on this earth talks like they do on Gilmore Girls. Gimme a break!!! 


Signs You’re at a Bad Fast-Food Restaurant:

- The plunger in the bathroom is more broken in than the sink


- The building capacity: 76 people, 35 roaches


- “Surge” is still an option


- The toy in the kid’s meal includes broken glass, a needle, and your choice of a Barbie or Hot Wheels toy


- Out of fry boxes; hairnets used instead


- Sour cream, mayonnaise, vanilla milkshake…there’s a difference???


- National promotion: Find Edna’s False Teeth, Win Small Soda


- More annoying than peeling pickles off your burger? Peeling shoes off sticky floor!


- Every extra value meal includes asparagus and a eulogy


- Restaurant prides itself in: “Tastes better the second time it goes down!”


Prediction for the Future:

The greatest “Creed Tribute Band” will be….Creed.
