What you have to do is enter the
fiction of America, enter America as
fiction. It is, indeed, on this fictive basis that it dominates the world.

This is the closing to my blog. Think about that above quote. I cannot escape the fact in many ways, America is an influential place and it's culture aids in bringing it's ideas to the rest of the world. In some cases, we take American's act of fictionalization to a new level. However, I suppose it's one of the consequences when you set yourself up as a nation that does away with the past and claims that the now and the future is what truly matters to begin new life for new people. When we take this idea and apply it to our own lives, you'll see that America is no joke in bringing different people of the world to their shores or even in this case, to a whole new virtual world. Think about how American culture has influenced or even transformed your life and the way you carry out your daily routines.
In other news, thanks for all who have read my blog and thanks Mr. D. W for giving me the opportunity to share some interesting suggestions on American Popular Culture. I could probably continue doing this. In the mean time, peace out and enjoy the things that you listen or watch. You might even get your epiphanies from closely observing American media. Have fun!
