How’s everyone out there doing today? I’m doing pretty good. Today is my girlfriend’s birthday, so I’m going to be doing quite a bit of stuff today. Before she gets home I’m going to go out and get her a cake and some other party supplies. Also, I plan on probably taking her out to dinner and then going to watch a movie together. I’m not sure what movie we are going to see in theaters. Do you have any suggestions? If so, you should leave them in the comments section below.
Someone sent me today’s optical illusion through the MoIllusions Facebook page. I always appreciate submissions, so major kudos goes out to that person for taking the time out of their day to send me this illusion. At first, I was a little nervous, because I thought that this illusion may be one of those videos where something jumps out and scares you, but it’s not. Instead, this is a very cool and intense optical illusion that sticks with you for a brief period of time even after you’re finished with the video. Check it out below to see what I mean.
Now, you can’t tell me that this is not one very cool optical illusion.
