Chatroulette experience

Hey guys! Last week Kevin my self, and Filipe(mickey) decided to check chatroulette out. We figured out that overall it is a very fun experience. However, I strongly suggest anyone willing to check it out to call a friend or two to go with you. The reason that having friends with you is intresting, is that it calls more attention and makes the whole thing more enjoyable. People who are alone just seem more boring and people tend to "next" them. Additionaly, with friends beside you, laughs are guaranteed and you won't feel sad if someone skips you. There are lots of innapropriate content in it, but with friends beside you the shock is quickly releived. Nevertheless, there are lots of good intentioned people, whom one could have good chats with. Our longer talks included Bentley students, a funny american called Eduard, some German, and even Brazilians. Here are some print screens we took: ( Bentley Students) So, chatroulete is a way of chatting worldwide and have a good time. Enjoy!

Free of braces

http://mentalfloss.cachefly.net/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/braces.jpg
A few days ago,my dentist removed my braces. I got to say its a new life without it. First of all, eating is an easy thing now. While I had my braces,I had to constantly check and clean it in order to avoid public embaressment. Nobody likes having leftovers in their mouths right? Secondly, I don't have to lose my time going to the dentist once evey two weeks. Most students in CHaple have a busy agenda and having a free day is awesome for starting new activities or having more time with school work. Thirdly, brushing my teeths is easier and safer now. With braces, brushing your teeeth is an art. You have to follow multiple steps and have other utensils besides the common toothbrush. Additionally, I don't have as much injuries now. When I brushed my teeth with braces, several times I cut my mout with a loose piece of metal or by breaking something in the braces. Finally, you have a better look! People who take their braces out have a perfect and new set of teeth. It is awesome.

Family Guy Character of the Week- Joe

Once more I will dedicate a week post to a Family Guy character. Joe is a paraplegic man and one of the Peter's best friends. He plays an important role by being one of the 4 friends in Peter's group (Quagmire, Cleveland, Joe, and Peter). I beleive the series uses Joe as another comic releif to paraplegic people. A funny aspect about Joe is that he is really atheletic and has a jock like personality, unlike his three other friends who are really lazy. He is also a police officer and sometimes has to arrest a known person. WHat calls my attention to his character though is his sudden out burst of energy such as his known shout, "YEAH!!!!" I love doing that shout. Here is a video of Old Joe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joxoSfGWGxM
Joe is one of my favorite characters, his sense of humor and sudden outbursts of energy are simply hilarious. One's got to love Joe. Here is a really funny video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llQ6dxSQMe4&NR=1

Marsh Periwinkle Succesfull once more

http://www.duke.edu/~jspippen/mollusca/marshsnail081109-7294obxz.jpg
Well, how could I start. Marsh Periwinkle is a group originally formed by Santiago, Daniel, and my self. We make videos/movies for any class subject we are assigned to do a video for. Beleive or not, but our lowest grade was a 96(A).Nevertheless, let me explain how it started. It all began in the Integrated Science class with Mr. James ( most known as Mr. J or Mr. J.J). We were assigned a project to describe any animal we chose thoroughly. I always enjoyed asking random questions about gastropods( a funny name I found on the book). Thus, I decided doing the project on a gastropod. However, I soon realized gastropod is not an animal, but a species classification. So, what I did was look for a specific gastropod. It was then, then that I saw the future legend's name: Marsh Periwinkle. I thought the name was so funny, that I couldn't stop saying it randomly( I still do today ask any one who knows me). Then, we had this portuguese and religion project and we just used MArsh PEriwinkle as the name of the group. David was with us in the beggining, but the traitor left... Its a shame, but we had other members to call such as Caio. He participated in two of our Morality projects until eh betrayed us to the Iguana Productions ( a concorrente). I was part of it to, when we created it, Lucas and myself. However, I wanted to start one of our own. Both MArsh Periwinkle and Iguana Productions share a mammoth respect for each other and we hope of joining both some day in the Komodo Dragons Prodcution. But its still in development. Any ways, after Caio closed doors with us, we called two new members. Sebastian which was always an assitant of Marsh Periwinkle and Andre who volunteered. Both did an amazing job. The trouble was Mr. Murphy only allowed 4 in a group but we convinced him to have 5. Anyhow, we did the project and it was amazing. As we expected we got a 100( A+).

Well deserved Oscar to Christoph Waltz

Hey guys! As I watched Inglourious Basterds, I was stupefied by Christoph Waltz's performance. Amazingly, he spoke four distinct languages fluently in the movie, French, German, English, and Italian. I had no knowledge of his existence before watching the movie, and I can't beleive it, because it seems impossible having such an actor pass by unnknnown. Nevertheless, I was eagerly awaiting the oscar ceremony, hoping Waltz would win an Oscar for best Actor in Supporting Role. When I found out he'd already been nominated I just knew he would win the Oscar. Little are those actors who can incorporate a character so well. As matter of fact, I only know a few. Al Pacino( Scent of a Women ), Robert Downey Junior( Tropic Thunder), Matt Damon( Bourne Triology), and Marlon Brando ( God Father). Here is a video of Waltz's thanks for the Oscar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eve8MDTiF7M
Well, I can't just describe his brilliant performance and expect you readers to imagine his talent. I strongly suggest any of you reading to watch this short video( and the movie if you had not watched it) of one of my favorite scenes in the movie. After watching it, I am sure you will enjoy him. Have Fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgKwHHG7nXc

Interesting Invention World's First Flying Car

Some people prefer traveling by plane. Others prefer traveling by car. Why not travel in a car plane then? Yes, it is true, the first flying automobile is in its final test phase. When it is over, people may enjoy a family car trip without worrying about traffic. It functions as a car in the road but if one wishes to take off, one may (if there is enough road for lift off). Here is a video to explain this better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHXnLCIgNug
I think this new invention is extremely interesting and cool. However, I beleive society is not yet ready to operate such a car. Drunk drivers could smash into an apartment, street racing could happen in the sky with even worse fatal consequences, and it would be almost impossible to stop terrorists with such technology. If there could be a way to monitor the drivers constantly, then this car would be perfect.

Movie Everyone should watch: Tropic Thunder

Simply Hilarious. Tropic Thunder is definitely the best comedy movie I've watched this year, even though it was released a couple of years ago. For starters, its cast is unbeleivable, the leading actors are Robert Downey Junior, Jack Black, and Ben Stiller. As if it wasn't enough, the movie stil counts with the presence of Tom Cruise,Matthew McConaughey, Bill Hader( Officer Slater in SuperBad),Jay Baruchel(Knocked Up),and Brandon T. Jackson( known after movie). Additionally, it just fit, all actors worked perfectly togerther.

Another intresitng thing, is that Ben Stiller directed the movie and wrote the story and screenplay. I admit, I thought he wouldn't make it. But incredibly, he did an excellent job. Well, let me tell you guys about the story. It is basically a joke and critic towards war movies. Through a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying. So, the actors are playing actors in a war movie, which turns out to become pretty real. I won't say anything else or else it will ruin the movie.

Some intresting facts you oughta know, is that Robert Downey Jr. was nominated for an Oscar in this movie by best supporting actor. He really sends it out of the park. Here is a video o Tom Cruise dancing in the movie( notice he is playing a fat dude).
