What causes a Deja Vu episode???
There are several possible explanations for what is occuring during a Deja Vu experience. One possibility is simply the occasional mismatch made by the brain in its continuous attempt to create whole sensical pictures out of very small pieces of information. Looking at memory as a hologram, only bits of sensory information are needed for the brain to reconstruct entire three-dimensional images. When the brain receives a small sensory input that is strikingly similar to such a detail experienced in the past, the entire memory image is brought forward. The brain has taken the past to be the present by virtue of one tiny bit of sensory information. This theory provides a satisfactory explanation for the physical effects of Deja Vu. These appear to be similar to the effects of mismatch between sensory input and corollary discharge signal information to the brain. Another explanation for Deja Vu is that there is a slight malfunctioning between the long and the short term memory circuits of the brain. When this new, recent piece of information is draw upon, the person thinks that the piece is coming from long-term storage and so must have come from the distant past. All of these neurobiologically based explanations for Deja Vu seem plausible and intriguing and perhaps there is some overlap or combination that accounts for the different experiences we call Deja Vu.

Mardi Gras means "Fat Tuesday." Traditionally, it is the last day for catholics to indulge - and often overindulgen - before Ash Wednesday starts the sober weeks of fasting that comes with lent.

Popular practices include wearing masks and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing, sports competitions, parades, etc. Is celebrating the day and night with music, drinks, craziness, and by taking your shirt off.

Mardi Gra Parade Day
I was so excited when my parents told me that we were going to the mardi gra parade in universal studios. I waited for many years and said " one day I will go to this parade and have so much fun" and it did happened. First we went to the park it was like three o'clock and it was a very hot day for me. We entered the park and everyone in their were dressed up normal with their beads and hats for the event. We rode all the attractions in the park and I was tired and hungry, so we kept walking. Finally we stopped and entered a store that sells mardi gra accessories because my father had to use the men's room. Me and my mom wanted to buy something in the store because we only necklaces, so we bought masks with light. It was six o'clock, so we entered this hamburger place that only serves hamburgers and a variety of sodas like vanilla coca-cola, orange sprite, vanilla sprite, grape coca-cola, etc. The hamburgers there were delicious, it was different from other hamburgers and there was a salad bar were I put all lettuce and tomatoes I want in the hamburger. When we finished eating we sat on the side walk were the parade was going to be. It was eight o'clock and the parade started, it was so beautiful that I recorded it all. Beads thrown at you collect them, confetti being pop out by surprise, beautiful floats passing around, people dressed up in the spirit of mardi gra, music put into load volume, and even drunk people were fascinating too. It's a wonderful experience that everyone should have in their memories and enjoy it with the family. ! CATCH THE BEADS, THE MUSIC, AND THE SPIRIT!!!!
Friday 2, 2012
It was a boring day for me. I was just sitting at home doing nothing, in my computer, and looking at my parents faces. I was doing laundry also and cleaning the house. The night came and we went to the contemporary hotel at disney to visit a friend of my father. He came to vacation for only 3 days with his wife and kids and had just arrived from the airport, so he invited us for dinner to see him. It was 9:30 pm and all the restaurants in the 4th floor were closed, so we went to the restaurant in the 1st floor that it was open until 11:00 pm. We went inside, sat in the table, looked at the menu, and ordered what we liked. The majority us in the table ordered pasta including me and the others, well, they ordered meat with potatoes. When everybody finished ordering their foods, we started talking to get to know each other and know a little bit of everyone. The food came and I started eating my pasta, and it was delicious a bit spicy, but delicious. We finished eating, paid the ticket, said our good byes, and everyone went home including me and my family. Even though my day was boring, my night was fun and interesting. Always have fun no matter what.!
