In our modern world filled with robots and computers we are surrounded by technology; with this technology comes apps. Apps are programs written to help and entertain us in day-to-day life. This is about my Top Five Apps.

1. Instagram- Instagram is a social media app created in 2010 that revolutionized the way we communicate. Not only does this app make you feel like a professional photographer with it’s cool filters! but it offers a cool new way to express yourself and communicate with your friends!

2. Ifunny- Whenever I’m bored, which seems to happen more often than it should one of the first things I seem to do is go on my phone to something I know will entertain me. Ifunny! It’s basically a library of creative and funny minds with one purpose, to make you laugh!

3. Netflix-I started watching Netflix when all of my friends told me that I should start watching some shows like Dr. Who and Sherlock. When I tried to find these shows I couldn’t find anywhere but Netflix! Now, I have expanded my Netflix playlist and have come to the only possible conclusion, Netflix is awesome!

4. Vine- Vine, I think, is probably the most opened app on the mess that is my phone. If I’m lying awake in bed, what do I do? Watch Vine. If I’m on a long rode trip, what do I do? Watch Vine. Basically, I watch a lot of Vine. It’s that cool!

5. Kindle- Okay, I can’t even tell you how many times a goblin stole my shoe much less how many times my Kindle was taken by one; with the kindle app however I don’t have to. The Kindle app lets me access my whole personal library anywhere and anytime as long as I have a device on me; which, let’s face it, in our world isn’t very likely. If you have a Kindle, and do not have this app, I highly recommended it!

So, in conclusion, you may think you have the best apps and the coolest trends on your phone, but let’s be honest, compared to these freakin’ fantastic apps you don’t have squat; but if you’re planning on getting these apps, I guess that’s okay…for now.

Favorite Place in Austin

My favorite place makes me feel like a true Austinite. My favorite place makes me feel healthy and alive. My favorite place will unwind anyone who’s had a stressful day, or it just might get your heart beating a million miles a minute if you do it right. Now, as to what my favorite place is, it’s obvious. It’s the beautiful and majestic Lake Austin!

The first reason I love Lake Austin is because the abundant amount of activities you can do there. For example, if you’re looking for something exhilarating, you can surf the wake of a boat or jump and glide your heart out on a wakeboard. If you want to explore the nooks and crannies hidden throughout the lake you could rent a kayak and lone the adventure or hop in a canoe and paddle away with your friends and family! Or, you could just relax and cruise around in a boat, enjoying a perfect day in a perfect place.

Now, sure, if you’re cruising around a lake in a boat it’s fun; but, if you cruise around a lake with scenery like Lake Austin has, then it’s an experience! Besides having the clear Austin sky above you, the iconic image of Pennybacker bridge is right in front of your very eyes, connecting two walls of stone, patterned to match the waves. Also, if you travel a little farther down the river you can see the boat houses adorning the sides of the rivers, as all of the residents shout out and laugh it gives you real sense of home before you end your day.

So in conclusion, whether you’re a local familiar to the wonder, or a visitor enjoying something new, you will want to get come back to the place you can race or relax. To the place you cruise or snooze. Whoever you are, you will want to go back to my favorite place , Lake Austin!

Phantom’s Lair

I walk into the chamber so very far below the warmth and light of the upper realm. No light is touching the menacing, obsidian walls except for the feeble light of the candle I so carefully shield from the whispers of lost souls oozing out of the shattered cobblestone floor.

A chill creeps slowly down my spine, as if a cold, dark, not quite physical hand was creepily caressing the back of my neck. I slowly turned around as the pure fear coursed through my veins.

No one was there.

How did I find myself in this dungeon of despair, this monstrosity of a manor in the first place? I had tried to control my curiosity of the legends. The legends of the Mask, The Woman, and the Night. But I could not. As this thought got itself entangled with the rest of my timidly fearful thoughts, I crept further and further into the bowels of what I could only assume was the hell in which all  “monsters under the bed” resided.

I found myself in a corner where the air seemed to be as thin as paper, cold, dry paper. I looked wearily to my feet where a mask was lying in a twisted bed of cobweb. The mask…oh the mask, horrifying to even describe. It was a mask that could only have been worn by a beast, a beast without compassion or light anywhere inside his murderous body. Yes, this was a mask left behind by what could only have been the ruler of this hell. No, it was worse…it was fear, it was darkness.

I have to get out of here. But it’s too late, for I can already feel Fear grabbing my ankle, pulling me down into the Underworld, where I shall never see the light of day, or the warmth of sunshine again.

There will only be…It.
