Inspirational Quote

“Everything happens for a reason.” Quote by Marilyn Monroe an actor famous for her films in the 1970’s. This is by far my favorite quote because I do believe that everything happens for a reason. Think about it, if everything in your life didn’t happen the way it did you wouldn’t be where you are today. Weather where you are now is a good place or a bad one, it because of the decisions you make.

I also like the quote “Everything happens for a reason, and there’s a reason for everything that happens” Quote by anonymous. If something happens to you, most of the time there’s a reason behind it good or bad. I really like this quote—”everything happens for a reason”— because it’s pretty much talking about your whole life and sends a good message. If you make bad decisions then it can affect your future in a bad way. If you make good decisions then it can affect your future in a positive way.

“Everything happens for a reason” to me means, that you should be careful with the choices you make. Because I know if I make bad choices and end up with a negative future I know someone will probably tell me “There’s probably a reason that you are this way” which is basically another way of saying the quote. I think everyone should find a deeper meaning to this quote. It could be very beneficial for them!

Favorite Place in Austin

As your turn the corner of Amy’s ice cream wafting away the sweet aroma of whatever type of ice cream it may be, you turn into a scenic view of possibly one of the best restaurants Austin has to offer.Iron Cactus.

Down a well watered grassy lawn is a staged area where singers are usually performing and families with kids sit down to enjoy with dogs running happily around soaking in the fresh air. A warm fire pit that gives of more warmth at night is set up right out side the restaurant where you and your family can enjoy your meal in the outside eating area. Which perfect because you can also enjoy, if there is one at the time, the performance.

Once you get inside you immideatly notice the modern yet western design. The bar is in a way classy but at can easily be changed when there are three TV sets set up with football on. Over all Iron Cactus is a family friendly place. Most of the seating are tall booths or large tables both for big families. I haven’t even gotten to the best part. The food.

I always order the cheese quesadilla with a side of fries which sounds pretty typical but I think it’s the best. The appetizers are chips and salsa—mild or spicy. Which is also pretty well made. A good amount of the food is Mexican style. The whole restaurant is sort of a mix between western-Texas and Tex-mex.

Once your done eating you can stroll through the galleria just for the lights and sightseeing or my favorite, shopping. I love Iron Cactus and if your ever in Texas and need a good place to eat, this is definitely the place to go!

The Phantom’s Home Down Under

         Peering into the mirror, I see a face of innocence. What lies beyond is as cold as the feeling of Cristine being sucked into it. Dusty and dark, the staircase wraps around itself. It’s not long before you reach the cold cement bottom. Thin cold air clothes around you but there doesn’t seem to be any wind blowing, just the feeling. Dimly lit candles are faint and placed just enough to see the corners of the cavern. It’s like one of those creepy basements that you just want to quickly get in and out of. Except there’s no escaping the Phantom of the Opera.

        It’s a pretty spacious cavern. One that could be easily lit and cleaned up for company. Though it’s not and it doesn’t therefore giving the lair the lonely vibe it has. This place needs no “Keep Out” signs. It speaks for itself! Fog rises slowly two inches above the ground that’s so thick it masks your feet and if you look close enough, the dark plays tricks on your eyes making faces in within the fog. Suddenly an awful smell hits the air. The smell of death. It smells shriveled and old. The Phantom’s Lair is not an ideal place to be.
