My favourite media would definitely be the radio. Some people may prefer to listen to CD's or their iPod's but I prefer the radio because when you listen to other compact forms of media, you are isolated from the rest of the world. The radio though has music along with news and events that are happening on a daily basis everywhere around us. It keeps us up to date with current happenings and sometimes even has open discussions with viewers or celebrities getting different opinions on a certain topic.
It could be related to a magazine in that way. There are obviously no photographs but there are often times interviews and news reports.
I find it perfect to wake up to in the morning before school. I find out everything like the daily weather or even maybe what song was #1 on this day in history or famous birthdays. It also helps to fall asleep to, just to turn it on low and listen to the music

Commercials
The second commercial I found is an advertisement starring the young and beautiful Vanessa Hudgens using the Neutrogena Wave, the "secret to softer skin". It is a face cleanser that is believed to give you silkier and smoother skin. I believe the reason they close her to advertise it is because she is young, beautiful and popular, and some people may believe that if they use this product, it will help them to look like her.
The third commercial I chose is an advertisement for "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like", also known as Old Spice. It is a commercial directed towards women, saying that even though their man doesn't look like the young attractive African American man we are seeing, doesn't mean that they cant smell like him.

My Role
If I were to play a role in a movie or TV show, I think I would either play the roleof the blonde chick that everyone presumes to be the "dumb blonde" but is actually extremely intelligent, or the roll of the out cast kind of kid that doesn't really belong to a particular group because she doesn't allow herself to be labeled.
I would hope to play either of these roles because in a sense, this is the kind of person I am in real life, therefore it would be much easier to play that roll rather than the bank robber or the emo kid which I clearly am not. The director would not have a hard time training me to play these roles because it would come naturally.
Sure, we all have our "blonde moments", unfortunately I seem to have a few more than most, but I know I am smart because my grades prove that I am. Also, I tend to hang out with all kinds of people and I try hard not to judge or label them because I know how it feels to be judged myself.
If I were to be picked to play either of these roles, as unfortunate as it is, it would most likely be on a chick flick or a teen movie, mainly because those roles are most commonly round in movies like those.

Characters in Television
Basically the only TV show I keep up to date with is One Tree Hill. Through out the 8 seasons, the actors all take their part in high school, graduate, and are starting out their life in the real world with everything from marriage to kids to careers.
Lucas is a white male who has a passion for basketball and more or less plays the part of the hero. He's the nice guy who is always there to lend a helping hand. For the most part, Lucas keeps himself out of trouble but whenever he does mess up, he messes up bad! He is also best friends with Haley and a step brother to Nathan.
Peyton is a white female who plays the part of the rocker chick. Her passion is music and has even opened up her own studio called Tric. Her and Lucas have had a never ending romance for one another and always end up running back to each other. At the end of season six, the two drive off together and we don't see them again in the seventh or eighth seasons.
Haley is a white female with a strong passion for singing and an amazing voice. Her and Nathan get married at the young age of only 17 and have their son Jamie shortly after. Currently, Haley is busy touring the globe performing concerts regularly for all her fans. While in high school though, she helped out Lucas's mom Karen with waitressing in her cafe.
Nathan is a white male who has been a basketball star since the day he was born, he definitely plays the roll of the jock. He played it all through high school and is currently playing for the NBA team, The Charlotte Bobcats. Between him and Haley getting married and having Jamie at such a young age, and both being so well known to the world with their careers, they both lead very busy lives.
Brooke is a white female who has finally overcome the somewhat promiscuous reputation she led in high school. Since she was young, Brooke has had a strong passion for the fashion industry. She is currently living in Tree Hill running her own clothing line, Bros Over Hoes, in one of her many shops.

My Favourite Personalities
One of my favourite male celebrities would have to be Allan Pineda, or better known as apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas. One of the main reasons I envy him so much is because of where he came from and where he made it to despite all the hard work. Born to a Filipino mother and African-American father in a small town called Angeles, Pampanga, Apl grew up with very little money and struggled most of his childhood just to find food to eat and a shelter over his head. Allan never met his father, and at the age of fourteen, his mother and stepfather allowed him, with his consent, to be adopted into an American family with hopes of having a more promising life ahead. Apl is now huge, and known world wide. He is part of one of the biggest hip-hop bands available and the last worry he has is finding enough money to survive. He came so far but never ever forgets where he came from and what made him who he is, which he sings about in many of their songs. The main one being The Apl Song.
One of my favourite female celebrities would be Alecia Moore, or better known to us as P!nk. I love her, everything about her. She doesn't care what people think of her and that, in my opinion, is the main reason why so many people are so attracted to her. So many people claim "I don't care what people think of me, if they don't like me for who I am then they're not worth my time anyway". But I have never seen someone live up to that as much as she does, whether it be with her unique style or different beats. There is just something about her that draws in people from all over the globe. Even her name is enough to catch your eye. If you heard of someone who refers to herself as "Pink", most would think of her to be all flowery and girly, basically "pink". No one expects her to be the rocker chick with the tom boy style and screaming beats that she is.

The hero always saves the world, the villains get what they deserve, the boy will always get the girl when I am king!
I'm sure it would be easy for Great Big Sea's lead single, Alan Doyle, to relate to many of us after growing up in a small town himself with just one main road connecting them to civilization and spending much of his childhood playing hockey like many of us do.
Growing up, Alan always had a strong ambition to play music. And although there was no room for him to be the lead singer or play the guitar in his school band, he didnt let that slow him down. Instead, he settled for the drums.
Alan had his first run in with Hollywood when his hometown became the main set for infamous "whale" movies and although most of us know him for his singing and guitar playing, he has also starred in the 2010 film, Robin Hood along with several other small parts in various films.
My favorite song by Great Big Sea, Here and Now released on their 2007 album Fortune's Favour.
Canadians are often viewed as being down to earth and realistic. This is one way I see Great Big Sea to be purely Canadian. All their music is real, no auto tune on their voices and no lip syncing whatsoever. Unlike many other artists, their live performance was almost better than on track. Also when I saw then in concert, they gave shout outs to everyone in the crowd and even went as far as to mention us little people in the Miramichi. They have to be the least big headed celebrities out there, no matter where they are or how far they made it in life, they are always keeping in touch with their fans daily through blogs. Also, in one of the blogs I read written by Alan while on tour, he told us about some ideas he had for their future album and looked for thoughts and advice from fans and made a space available to give input. Another reason I consider them a down to earth, Canadian band is because many of their songs are about Canada, Newfoundland in particular with one of their songs being titled Banks of Newfoundland. All in all, they keep it real and simple and down to earth and they never let their fame take control of their life or seize to remind them of the country they came from.
- On March 11th, 2011 GBS celebrated their eighteenth anniversary together.
-Currently has three band members, Alan Doyle, Sean McCann, Bob Hallett and past member Darrell Power who retired in 2003.
-Released 9 studio albums and four other albums.
