What better way is there to have a picture definition of self reflection than to have your favorite major pop icons watching TV? that is what rapper XV intended in the mix tape called pop culture. society has an influence on people today and arguably has too much. XV has taken that into account and decided to use this work of art to express the idea of Immanuel Kant's concept of moral duty.
Looking into this picture, you have characters such as Goku, Snookie, Beavus and Butthead, the bald guy from breaking bad, and others plopped in the living room of the Simpsons' house. And right in the middle you have XV, bad over his head chilling as well. Some may argue when looking at the picture that the artist has become a pop icon. Maybe if XV did not have the paper bag over his head, i would agree. With it, he does not like to associate what other pop icons are doing nor does he want to know whats going on. Following the way of Immanuel Kant, he is saying how these people do not follow moral duty and these people are being watching everyday. XV is here, telling them that they are not doing their job correctly. XV is their wake up call.
Every one, yes and i mean every one, want to be famous or at least get their 15 minutes of fame once in their lifetime. How people do with it is another story. if you take the time to listen to XV's mix tape, he'll tell you how he's going to do with it.

The Truman Show and philosophy (blog 12)
"In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight!" Showing "The Truman Show" right before Christmas vacation really was a great way to end the week. I don't know how old this movie was, but it was sure a movie ahead of its time. I hope the writer for this movie got to make other good movies such as this.
needed 2 weeks of vacation (blog 11)
Oh my goodness, it is a year new! The only time people can fail at something and it is completely okay with it. And I'm talking about new years resolution. Hope you guys had a happy holidays and we can proceed to bring a bigger bang than we did last year.
Out of these two weeks of vacation, I found sometime that I would like to bring up and talk about. It is this one little anime called "Golden Time". I picked it up a couple days ago and I was insanely hooked. It really isn't watch people expect anime to be.
Tada Banri, is a newly accepted student at a private law school in Tokyo. Too bad a terrible accident immediately after high school graduation caused Tada to have some type of amnesia and to become lost in transition to his 1st day of class. He soon finds out that he isn't the only lost one. He soon meets a dude name Mitsuo and instantly, boom. Friends. somehow they get their within a good amount of time and right at the front of the school, a stylish, beautiful and well dressed girl in a dress arrives with a bouquet of flowers. Her name is Koko and the 1st thing she does is slaps Mitsuo with the flowers. As kids, Koko and Mitsuo promised to marry each other. regretting the decision, Mitsuo secretly applies to the private law school in order to escape. Now, his pasts comes to haunt him.
If you hadn't been fond of watching Japanese cartoons. give this one a shot. I'm not so sure when it will end but, I don't want it to. Even if you don't like the show, the intro and outro to the show will!
