Out Of The Loop

Caracas is not a good place for a movie lover like me. In the states I always go to the movies or rent the new movies when they come out. But here there is a very small amount of movies in theatres or that you can buy. And it’s not just the movies it’s the commercials. I don’t see any commercials for movies on TV so I have no idea what’s playing right now. I could be missing the best movie of the year and not even know it’s out. That’s why when I go back to the states my family and I always rent a ton of movies so we can get caught up on what we missed. It’s funny when I walk through a blockbuster and all of the movies are new to me. You think you could never get caught up but it actually only takes a couple of weeks before you know all of the movies in theatres and the ones that are coming soon. Then all of that knowledge gets erased when I go back to Caracas. I go back to not knowing what is in theatres. I always look forward to seeing the new action and comedy’s when I go back to the states.

The Way It's Supposed To Taste

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is definitely one of my favorite holidays of the year. The combination of food family, friends, and football is unbeatable. The problem is that having a top notch thanksgiving in Venezuela Is almost impossible. Typically a family will throw a thanksgiving party but the food is just not up to par. The turkey is a little dry, the stuffing is too creamy, the gravy is too sweet, or the mashed potatoes aren’t mashed enough. There’s a whole score of things that could go wrong. Luckily this thanksgiving I was lucky enough to be able to have a home a cooked thanksgiving meal just the way it is supposed to taste. Me and my family flew out of Caracas on Wednesday after school to my grandparents’ house in Fort Myers Florida. A lot of my family was already there waiting for us. It had been a while since I had seen them so it was a very fun trip. I was only there for a couple of days but it was extremely nice to have a break from school (which is getting increasingly harder). When the time came to board our flight back I was sad that my mini vacation was over and I definitely wasn’t looking forward to the makeup homework I had to do.

Catfish

It’s funny how one random event, or act can lead to another random thing that leads to something really cool. This happened the other day to me. I was staying at my friend Cam’s house and we were looking through facebook when we saw video about a catfish. After the video my friend told me to Google catfish and the top result was a trailer for a movie. We were confused why a movie trailer had popped up so we clicked on it and watched it. The trailer showed a movie about a man having a long distance relationship with a woman he never met. The trailer implies that something isn’t right with this person and that the truth is shocking. We both thought it looked really good so we went to a website where you can watch movies online (surfthechannel.com) and watched the whole hour and a half movie. As it turns out the movie was very good. I won’t give away the end but it turns out he wasn’t having a relationship with the women he thought. The movie is very good and I suggest you watch it. After me and Cam finished the movie we both realized we just watched a whole movie because of one random video on Facebook. But I’m glad we were led to that movie because it was very interesting.
