Today I watched a film on Netflix called "Food, inc". When starting this movie, I wasn't going into it thinking I'd enjoy it. But as I had been watching for a while, I found myself being glued to the tv until it was over. Realizing everything in this film is true, I became more and more interested in learning how it started. This film is hard to explain to someone who hasn't seen it, but I'm going to do my best to describe to you guys why you should definitely watch this film. The author of this film,  Robert Kenner, exposed America's entire food industry with this film. He showed how our entire food system is corrupt, from before its turned to food to the second we eat it. The film shows how our farmers are greedy, and would rather fill animals up with antibiotics, cage them, kill them in horrific ways, than to supply the people with healthy meats. The government is in on the whole operation, which explains why we rarely see photos and videos relating t...

Happy Sunday everyone! October is finally here which means its finally Fall! In Arizona we may not really experience the season fall, as our weather stays the same, but thats not going to stop me from decorating! This weekend my dad, sister, and I decorated our house for halloween. We put up our spooky decorations, halloween lights, pumpkins, etc. I decorated my room as well. We also put out pumpkin scented candles, so that when we decide to light them, it reminds us of fall. My favorite place to shop for fall decor is Target. Every Target has bins at the front of the store, generally called the "Dollar Spot". These bins are filled with things that are only a couple of dollars, and they always tend to have seasonal decorations in there, such as sayings to hang on your wall, candles, pillows, and other knick-knacks. Target always has great deals and has the cutest decor, in store and online. In store you can find seasonal decor in the Dollar Spot or in the decor section. The t...

Hey everyone. If you have been on social media at all within the past month, then you have most likely heard about the Chick-Fil-A vs. Popeyes chicken sandwich war. Popeyes released a chicken sandwich for the first time ever, and with Chick-Fil-A being widely known as the best fast for chicken sandwich, they had a new competition. Everyone raced out to try the sandwich and within days it was sold-out nationwide. This says a lot about our society, how we have news about chicken sandwiches being spread 10x quicker than news relation to our country and economy. Americans love fast food, and competition. So Popeyes releasing a sandwich just as good as Chick-Fil-A's brought incredible attention to Popeyes. The lines were extremely long and had hour waits just for the sandwich. People even posted videos of signs saying they "ran out of chicken". In this picture specifically, It is based off a meme that was popular back in 2018 that had nothing to do with fast food. The me...

Hey everybody! This week, I watched two different movies about time travel. One of them, called "See You Yesterday", I really liked. Its about a two teens who spent their high school days inventing a time machine. This machine allows them to travel a day back into the future. But when one of their older brothers gets killed, they put their time machine to the test to go back and prevent it from happening. Many things get in their way, and the film ends with her going back alone one last time. At times I wonder if time travel will ever be possible. Albert Einstein came up with a theory called Special Relativity. Scientists have proven this theory to be true. Basically, this theory describes how time in space is different than time down here on Earth. For example, if you were to travel in a spaceship for 5 years, 50 years will have passed on Earth. Its crazy to think about because we haven't experienced it, but it is true. Im hoping in the future more studies are done...

Happy Sunday everyone! Have you ever wondered what goes into your foods and just how healthy the foods you're eating really are? The film "Fresh", by Ana Sofia Joanes, provides watchers with insights on how our farming and agriculture really works. In the film, many different farming techniques are shown. These days farmers focus more on how many animals they have rather than how healthy they are. Farmers want more animals to create more meats, dairy products, etc. They should focus more on raising healthy animals so that humans and animals are healthier. This film made me hopeful because it focused on how our food system is changing, and how so many authority figures are reaching out to help make sure the food we eat is healthy. Us as Americans should know what goes into our food. We have to face the effects of whatever we put into our bodies, so I think its important to know what exactly you are putting in. I encourage everyone to watch the film and really think ...

     I was on Netflix this past weekend, looking for something to watch in the free time I had. I caught myself thinking about all of the times I was in the same position, looking for something to watch on Netflix. Almost every time, I can't find anything good so I end up doing something else. I talked to some of my friends and they said they often find themselves taking ages to finally find something as well. I also remembered how Netflix has been taking away a lot of favorite shows and movies of their watchers.      I began to look up and research if anyone else has noticed this about the famous movie streaming application. While looking, I came across a web article about how "Netflix is going to die out in 2019". (The website link will be posted at the end of this blog post). The article, as a summary, described how Netflix is in a lot of debt and makes much less than smaller streaming sites. So, in conclusion, I guess Netflix really is dying out, whet...
