Money

     Again, again, and again I am stuffed in and out of the pockets of strangers, only seeing the light of day, or any light for that matter, for a few faint seconds before I am forcibly tucked away into depth unknown. I suppose it's better than being trapped in that dark metal dungeon, crushed between countless numbers of my companions. I swore I'd never go back to that prison, but then again, nothing is ever my choice. I can only hope I'm traded from kind hands to kind hands, ones that won't tear or bend me, but that would be a miracle. Instead, I always seem to encounter sweaty grimey hands that toss and bend and squander me away on useless materialistic goods. I had thought that people would have much more respect for the first president of the United States.

Magic Phone

     If there could be such a thing as a magical smartphone, there would be an unlimited amount of possibilities for  magical apps that could be made. However, some there would still have to be some apps on the more "basic" end of things that would be on the phone by default. One such app could be a remote control that allows the phone's user to control time, albeit in a very limited fashion to avoid problems. It would include the ability to slow, stop, or speed up time as the user wishes, but would not allow time travel backwards. Instead of sending the user to the past, the remote would rewind everything, including the user, to avoid the unexplored dangers and paradoxes of true time travel. Another app that would come stock on the phone could be an app identical to Google Maps, but with a few tweaks. The app would have a totally detailed, three dimensional map of the world, and would allow the user to select any location and instantly be transported there, using the magical properties of the phone; this would allow free exploration of different places and the world as a whole, and could be used to get anywhere cost free. Lastly, an app that would come stock on a magical smartphone could be a game app that puts the user of the phone into any television show, video game, or movie, but it would all be in the user's head. This app would allow any user to pass the time in an engaging and entertaining way, but would eliminate any danger of getting hurt since none of it would be real; it would simply be a way to tap into the user's imagination, harness its power, and bring it to life in a way that daydreaming could never hope to do.

Family Feast

     If I were to open a restaurant, I would design a menu based around around fresh, unique, homecooked meals that have stuck out to me for various reasons, the foremost being their taste. The restaurant would preferably be a casual diner mixed with a grill for the large array of meat centered meals. To start, there would be three signature dishes, each based around a certain meat or fish. The first dish would be a steak coated in specially cooked mushrooms and sautéed onions with a unique family glave overtop, finished by a variety of herbs and spices to give the meal some extra flavor. The second dish would be a large cut of salmon stuffed down the center with a crab cake seafood medley, served with soft and fresh garlic biscuits. The third and final signature dish would be a porkchop with a cut in the center to make room for a hearty stuffing of bacon, chedder, peppers, and a personal selection of vegetables to toss in as well. Each dish would also be served with a combination of fries, biscuits, or assorted vegetables. The customer would also be able to buy a pass to use the salad bar in lieu of one of their sides. For dessert, a large selection of personally crafted baked goods and handmade ice creams would be available to order, to complete the whole 'local homestyle restaurant' feel.
