It's a small world after all...

So, here are some photos that I took in the last month. I hope you like them!

Is the grass greener on the other side?

Well, I don't see any grass.



It's a jungle out there.

A bird cage minus the bird.






I took all of these photos. I hope you liked them. What do you think? Which one is your favorite? Comment!

Best Johnny Depp moments


What do you think of Johnny Depp? I honestly think that he's an awesome actor. He always seems to play the crazy, eccentric characters. He really knows how to get into character and transform himself into a completely different person. So, here are some of my favorite moments from his movies.

This is by far one of my favorite lines from this movie. 
Oh, Jack Sparrow (oh I'm sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow) just loves his rum.

I want one of these!

It's called the Coca-Cola freestyle machine.  Ordering drinks has never been easier or maybe overwhelming . I recently read an article that talked about a new drink machine that had many cool features. This machine:


~ is touch screen
~it can create up to 125 Coca-Cola products (for instance, an Orange Coke or a Vanilla Sprite Zero)
~gives you statistics of the most popular drink and how many are being sold
~ doesn't take up so much space like the regular drink machines
~uses small cartridges to flavor the drink
~ runs "self-diagnostics" to see how much of each ingredient is left in the cartridge
~has it's own Facebook
~has an app that uses GPS technology to tell people where the nearest Freestyle machine is.

"Cool!" was all I could say after hearing about this machine. If I encountered one of those machines I think security would have to pry me off of it. I wonder if people get overwhelmed when they are asked  "would you like a drink with that?" I know I would be. If I can get 125 different varieties of Coca-Cola drinks I think I would go through the whole list searching for the right one. Maybe I would get a few small-sized drinks with a different kind in each paper cup? I wonder if a huge line is waiting at a restaurant that has one of these drink machines? I bet that these machines are going to start replacing regular drink stations all around the world! Technology is soaring. Next thing you know there's going to be restaurants that run themselves! What drink would you order on the machine? Comment!

Transformers 3: Yah or Nay?

*Before you read this known that I'm not going to give away any important details of the movie!!*
Transformers: yah or nay? I do like action movies, but this one was…different. The trailer showed how intense and action-packed the movie was going to be. Check it out!
Intense right? Even the music was intense!! The first time I saw the trailer I was pumped! My whole family was like "looks like that movie is going to be good". The movie overall was okay. I still think that the first one was the best. The romance part of the movie was kind of cheesy and shallow. I was sitting in the movies like "Come on! Just frickin' kiss her already!" I got kind of confused too. I had no idea what was going on. Also, during the war scenes I was never able to tell who were the good guys and who were the bad guys! All the robots looked the same to me (except for Bumblebee). 

There was one part of the movie that just had this intense action that lasted for at least a half hour. I just got bored. I'm pretty glad that I did not see it in IMAX or in regular 3-D because I got dizzy when it was only in 2-D! The movie wasn't horrible, but it wasn't my favorite. Overall, the movie was an intense, action-packed flick with lots of guns, shooting, and shallow romance. So, if you're a guy, you'll probably like it.
