It's a pop culture montage with a quiz at the end... from the very creative mind of Brian Lanigan!
So... did you pass the quiz? I sure didn't! :)
Some people have had trouble viewing these videos - you may have to be on facebook to be able to see it, I'm not sure. Let me know if you have a problem...

Fire in Iselin
I just saw this video, along with the story about the fire at Aspen Manor in Iselin, on Woodbridge InJersey. Thank goodness no one was hurt, according to the story. But it looks like it was a terrible fire.
There have been several fires in Iselin recently. Iselin has a volunteer fire department. Isn't that amazing? A bunch of people are willing to drop everything and put their own lives at risk - volunteering, not as part of their job - to keep our community safe. Day after day. And don't forget about the training that they have to go through to be able to fulfill this responsibility.
So, on behalf of Iselin, I just want to say THANK YOU!

The Grammy Awards are on tomorrow...
This is one of the nominees for "Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals."
I don't really think it's going to win, because it's going up against California Gurls, Airplane, Elton John, and Lady Gaga. But it's a nice song so I thought I'd put it up.
Peace.

LEARN
This is a great video. My friend shared it on Facebook. It's just words, but they are some great thoughts, and I like the song, too. So even though it's not about Iselin, I thought I'd share it here. It's so many important lessons to learn for everyone, everywhere.
I want to write a little bit more, a little bit personal. I was a substitute teacher today in an Iselin school. I was given a brief opportunity to see one of the regular Language Arts teachers in action.
I was so impressed. Talk about a wonderful teacher. She was calm, caring, focused, and organized. The students were attentive and eager. Don't get me wrong - these weren't the top achievers, just normal kids - but they were obviously learning a great deal in her class. And you could tell from the way they interacted that this was not an unusual day; you could see from the positive, disciplined demeanor of the students and the teacher that this was what was expected and this was what happened every day. It made me so much more optimistic about the future of our country in general. There are some really great teachers doing a fantastic job in our schools.
I had some time to think after school was over, and I thought that it would be a great thing for parents to be able to see what I had seen. Of course, it's next to impossible. Just by observing, the parents would be having an effect on the classroom and changing the outcome. Some kids would show off, and other kids would want to fade into the woodwork. It wouldn't be just a regular day anymore.
So I just wanted to let you know - especially if you are the parent of a child in Iselin - that I've met a lot of teachers in our schools. And they are wonderful people, with extraordinary skills and patience. Sure, no one's perfect, but I truly admire and respect the job that they do.
They really deserve our support. Thank a teacher today! :)

The best Superbowl Ad?
It was a good game last night, right? I'm not really sure, because I was talking the whole time. Anyway, I think this was the best ad, of the ads I've seen. Anyone else have a different opinion?

The Story of Bottled Water
I personally like Iselin water.
I remember when I was a kid, Gram would pour a pitcher of water from the tap, fill the pitcher with ice cubes, made from the tap, and it was DELICIOUS.
And, well, I'm living in the same house, and it's the same tap, right?
So I've never believed in the need for bottled water.
Although over the last few years, I must admit, I've been a bit... embarassed... to offer people a glass of tap water.
But watch this video!
It's all a marketing ploy. I hate being conned by advertisers.
How about you? Do you believe in bottled water, or do you believe in the safety of our tap?

Amy Krouse Rosenthal's Thought Bubble: Kindness
This was a really cool video. It doesn't have much to do with Iselin, but... I liked it, so I'm posting it anyway! Thanks to Nolly Posh, 'cause I saw it on her site first!

Wow, talk about memories! Even though I personally don't think I know anyone in this video, it reminds me of my childhood growing up here in Iselin.
Anyone else have any old pictures or videos that I can post on here? Let me know!
