Sara Bareilles Music Video Uncharted

Th following link leads to a music video for Sara Bareilles. It is one of the most amazing music videos EVER!!! This song always makes me happy and puts a smile on my face. I love her as a singer and her music videos are always original and inventive. This link takes you directly to her website on  the music videos page and after Uncharted  is over you can watch all of her other awesome videos such as King of Anything.  :)

Zombieland


Robert  Ebert gave an okay review to Zombieland. He didn't think it was anything to special or great whereas I thought it was one of the best movies of all time. I felt it had a good story line and gave enough background information on the characters that you really got to bond with them and didn't want anything bad to happen to them. Usually I am very wary of anything having to do with zombies, blood, gore, and most horror altogether. My best friend convinced me to watch it and ever since I have been hooked. It isn't like the general horror zombie movies, it brings something different to the table and instead of scaring the pants off of you it actual makes you laugh and puts a smile on your face. Don't get me wrong though some parts I will admit did freak me out to the point I put my head under my blanket but other than that it was pure laughs the whole time.

My 5 Year Plan

My 5 year plan would go something like this: for the year after graduation I would go to O.C.C. and join their culinary program for the first year of my college experience. After that I would hope to transfer to The Culinary Institute of America located in St. Helena, CA. That has always been my dream school, although the location is not the one I would have picked originally for myself.

For the next 2 years I would hope to attend that school and hopefully graduate within the next 2 years. After I graduated I would hope to travel around the world and learn many different new kinds of cooking styles and meet some interesting people. The two places i would most hope to visit would be Italy and France because they have some of the most interesting, skilled, and different cuisine in the world.

I would hope to one day eventually work in a high class restaurant as an executive sous chef or as a higher position one day.

My Dream School

If I could go to any school in the entire world I would go to The Culinary Institute of America located in Hyde Park,NY. It has one of the most beautiful and regal campuses I have ever seen. I have a deep passion for cooking and the best place I could go to learn the skills I need to excel in this business I could learn there. Ever since I was little I have wanted to live in New York so with this school I can accomplish my goal of going to culinary school and also living there.
My biggest idol in the culinary world is chef Cat Cora because she is such an inspiration seeing as she is the only female chef to ever be on Iron Chef America. She is an alumni from CIA and one day I hope to follow in her footsteps and become a graduate and hopefully one day and influential member of the culinary world.
