Oh Amazing Food

Everyone eats. Doesn't matter if it's healthy, junk, weird diets, Mexican, Indian, Chinese, we all eat. If you've ever been terrified of having it stuck in your throat while slowly losing your breath and maybe passing out please raise your hand. I currently am typing with one hand. I will tell you a story about when I was little.

I don't remember all of the details but I have enough to tell you a good chunk of the story. So I was around five or some years old, no older than ten. I remember staying home, watching TV and Nickelodeon was playing reruns of Spongebob Squarepants. I remember waiting patiently for lunch that my mom was gonna make. Then suddenly-

"Caro!" My mom called for me from the kitchen. Now, Caro is my nickname just for your information. I rushed to her, I mean c'mon, what five or so year old doesn't like food? As soon as I found out it was chicken nuggets I was quite ecstatic, seriously, who doesn't like chicken nuggets? Especially dinosaur shaped? Being the small child I was, I went into my living room and laid down on the floor, continuing to watch Spongebob. Now, I'm not 500% sure how many chicken nuggets I got but all I remember what that by the third or fourth one, something got stuck in my throat. Whenever I generally take a big bite now that I'm older I try chewing it to bits and pieces terrified of the day that something lodges in my throat and murders me.

A five (or so) year old gets a chicken nugget stuck in her throat, what does she do? Panic for about five seconds before running to mom. I ran into that kitchen about as fast as my little legs could in all honesty. As soon as I turned the corner to tell my mom, I still couldn't breath and then I realized I couldn't talk. I thought I was a goner, so I started crying and I tried my best pointing and waving my arms at my mom to let her know that there was something that was stuck and it wasn't supposed to be there but she just thought I was being dramatic before she realized I was scared and crying. Yes, I did start crying because it was getting more difficult to breath by the minute (now that I think about it, I couldn't breath in the first place).

After much time being wasted my mom finally caught on and I was red in the face from crying and not breathing she led me to the bathroom. I'm actually not sure who did the Heimlich maneuver on me, whether it was my mom or my brother I don't know, but someone was doing it.  I eventually spit out the head of a dinosaur (never thought I would ever type that sentence but hey there's a first for everything) and I was finally breathing. I honestly don't care who made me spit it out but I'll thank them until the ends of the earth. I cried for a while after that. Moral of the story, don't trust those stupid dinosaur chicken nuggets. What an adventure.i have other stories but that's for another time.

Death Of A Bachelor - Panic! At the Disco


Okay not only is this band one of my favorites but they mean a lot to me. Their new album came about a week ago, and I couldn't be more in love. The album has 11 songs.

- Hallelujah 
- Victorious 
- Impossible Year
- Death of a Bachelor
- Golden Days
- House of Memories 
- LA Devotee 
- Emperors New Clothes
- Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time
- The Good, The Bad, The Dirty
- Crazy=Genius

My favorite would be Golden Days or House of Memories. This is the fifth album that Panic! has done and I have been a fan since their last album " Too Weird to Live; Too Rare to Die" and I'll be honest, I don't think that a lot of parents would agree that it's a really good album but unless they're into that then keep this away from parents. It has curses, and it does mention alcohol and stuff so yup, be warned. ANYWAYS, not only is the album really up beat ( not Impossible Year though, get ready to cry to that song ) but it's also super catchy.

"She said at night in my dreams you dance on a tightrope of weird." - Crazy=Genius

Like how could that not be catchy? Yeah, okay it drops curses but the point is that it also sounds like some jazz type-ish music and the beat is super cool.

"If you wanna start a fight, you better throw the first punch,  make it a good one." - TGTBTD

Still catchy, still gonna repeat this song like infinity x1 and  no one can stop me.

That's about all I have to say about this album, which is the censored version in all honesty. I would say that's a good thing but it doesn't fully show my enthusiasm about the album.

Movie Review - The Good Dinosaur *Warning: Mild Spoilers*



Okay, not only did this movie make me cry about 75% of the time, but The Good Dinosaur is ridiculously well animated. The fact that Pixar went all the way to add so many details is incredible. Most of the scenes ( which were outside ) made it seem so real that I couldn't help but question if they actually animated the movie. Enough about the graphics, the basics of this movie is: What if the asteroid that originally wiped out the dinosaurs didn't hit the planet? This movie tells about a story of a little dinosaur family that lives near a mountain. The family consists of a father, mother, two boys, and a girl. Poppa, Momma, Libby, Buck, and Arlo. Arlo being the smallest and the most vulnerable ends up getting taken away from the family farm. Arlo ends up meeting a small boy, who also is a "caveman", by the name of Spot (which was Arlo's name for him). Spot and Arlo who don't like each other at first, end up being each others company. Through out the movie it shows that Arlo is easily scared and fragile until the end where all the character development hits the viewer in the face. Alro over comes his fear and ends up helping Spot when he's in major trouble.

So all in all I think this movie was amazing and I would absolutely recommend anyone to watch it.
