March Madness is an event in the basketball community where all College basketball teams around the country compete in tournaments to determine what team is best in the country. It is like the World Series or the Super Bowl , but for basketball. The Madness begins the first day of March and teams in their division go against other teams of the same division such as East coast and West coast. The weekends consist of Espn annoncers broadcasting games and fans having their eyes glued to the screen to see if their team will continue on the thriling tournament known as March Madness. The sport's channel, ESPN, has the tournament on lock down and who is succeeding or failing in the games. I can walk into a bar or just a store and i can guarantee you the basketball game will be on T.V, due to the popularity of the tournament. When a person's team wins their game, Facebook turns into a feeding ground for bragging rights and showing their school pride. Merchandise for all the school's that have participated in the tournament are available on ESPN.com to purchase. March is definately a month of madness.(ESPN web)

The Big Apple!
Apple is a very well known and popular brand of technology that is used everyday in many different ways. Apple has broadened its use from just a type of computer business to downloading music, to phone and mp3 players and even all of them into one. The apple symbol is well known throughout the world and everyone knowes that it represents apple company.
When you look around for even just a second, im sure you will catch an ipod or the hip new iphone that any who is anyone has. The new phone can explore the interenet, take pictures, and listen to music where and whenever you want. The company is still coming out with new technologies and devices to broaden the world's use of technology.
Anyone can use the devices , due the simplicity of them and there is never an age limit , but the devices can be very pricey due to their demand and popularity in society. Some people may not like the iphone or the devices because of the popularity in soceiety and choose to be different and not be like everyone else.Some cultures may not even have phones or have electricity such as amish and don't believe in popular culture and like to stick with there traditional living.
The iphone and the ipod are signature products for Apple and are very popular with all groups of people. Many companies saw that Apple's company was starting to boom with the ipod and so other music companies and computer companies wanting to create a product as well to compete with Apple's Ipod. The products that it had in the past are no where near to the technologies and access it has now such as having internet,camera, ipod and so much more than it did and rather than having seperate devices for each thing.Technology and devices such as the Ipod that Apple has presented is very much apart of American culture and to a point where people are always on their phone and can't live with out it. Communication is better now than it was years ago due to technology but now face to face communication is dwindling to the attachment people have to their devices.

Hip New Thing!!!
Katy Perry is a popular well known artist and has become well known for her hit new singles. She became popular with her single,"I kissed a girl" and her career soared from there. She was climbing the charts with her hit new singles, such as " ET", "Firework", and "teenage dream." Katy is a very strong indivdual and it shows through her music with her unique sense of style. Katy expressed her individuality at the Grammy's with her blue dress and crystals that matched her blue hair as well. She looked classy and elegant as she glided down the aisle,even with her blue hair.
Her song's express feelings and emotions that girls experience everyday and just do not say anything about it. In her lyric's in "teenage dream", she talks about her high school sweet heart and being in love and having fun. " we can dance until we die,you and i will be young forever,you make me feel like im living a teenage dream," she basically is talking about how in love she is with the guy she is with and he makes her feel so young and gitty.
In her music video for teenage dream, she bascially displays what she sings about in her video. They are on the beach having fun and katy is kissing her boyfriend. It displays a summer love when she was a teenager and have fun while you can and don't regret anything. Katy is young beautiful confident women who needs a guy that can keep up with her. In her video she describes the summer love everyone dreams about having.
I would love to see Katy Perry continue to soar and have new hit singles. She is a strong individual and is very successful in the music bussiness. I really like her music because it is fun and catchy to sing along to or if you want a good song to party to, there are always many to chose from.
