Blog Post I'm Considering

Here's blog post I'm considering writing on StrangeCultureBlog.com. Feel free to use these thoughts for your own blog:


  • Moral Lessons from Captain America: The First Avenger


  • Considering the sequelability of a stand alone Captain America film as well as repeat roles by the cast of Captain Planet in a follow up feature.


  • Book review on Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close as well as a film preview


  • Sandra Bullock's turn 47 this week (Born July 26, 1964)


  • Food as an expression of individualism, potentially exploring ideas of isolation as well as the transition from choice/personal preference to conviction.


  • The debt ceiling and whether or not it's appropriate to compare the American financial situation to individual household budgets.


  • Response to the 30 Rock episode "The Bubble" (season 3) regarding attractive people.


  • Further exploration on concepts of giving


  • The "Christian" film industry in 2011


  • Christmas in July

Consumer Blogging

Some ideas to blog.


  • What magazines does your household receive that are "display worthy?" Maybe you leave them on coffee tables, magazine racks, or bathrooms.

  • What children's gifts have you received that are winners & losers?

  • What item in your house are you surprised you still own and think it's outlived what you initially intended?

  • What's your next big spending events (a birthday, a holiday, a vacation maybe even Christmas)? How do you prepare for your big spending events?
