Captain Marvel- Review

there’s plenty of Pokestops and gyms all the way to the restaurant; also plenty of Pokemon to catch.
Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn’t have a parking lot, there’s always off street,
which in this case wasn’t an option, because of all the ice and snow on the streets and sidewalks.
But there’s a parking garage about 4 blocks over. No more than an 5 minute walk to the restaurant,
if you don’t get too distracted playing Pokemon Go.
straight to the table, which by the way was next to a Pokestop; a win win for me. The restaurant
looks like a renovated every day bar in the French Quarter. From the windows, lights and even
the tables; no need to say the restaurant has character. The menu doesn’t have a lot of options
but all the options range from small to large plates. After being seated for about 5 minutes our waiter
finally found us. The menu selection was very New Orleans oriented. I ordered a Voodoo Queen
for a drink, but without the rum but double the vodka. The waiter warned me it was going to go
straight to my head and honestly, it didn’t disappoint. The drink had fruits in it and was served in
a mason jar, but so did Lorene’s; we were very impressed. Too bad once our drinks were gone
the waiter was nowhere to be found to order a new one. By the time he got to us, we were so over
waiting, we settled for the water he had brought us when he first got to the table.
squash and pickles. I must say, Lorene’s plate was impressive and looked delicious. My plate
wasn’t a plate, it was a plank full of food. Now, I love to eat and, there was a guy in another table
who couldn’t finish his plate; but I finished all mines with a little help from Lorene. I was so full,
it was hard to breath. The chicken had a tad of spices to it and the chicken was cooked to perfection.
To be honest I have no complains about my food at all; it was delicious. Was it a true south
experience? That’s a big NO! But it’s way better than other “southern” restaurants in the area.
was great. Would we be back? I highly doubted. If we are going to pay prices like that, we expected
better service.

The Star
Once upon a time there was a shooting star. The star made me feel all the love and warmth in the world. It showed me how to see the colors I always took for granted and, made me see the landscapes with brand new eyes. We strolled down the hills hand in hand. Named all the new unknown colors and, laughed at the wind while skipping from sea to sea. Happiness was all there was and for the first time, I had hope in my world.
There was a time the star was all my eyes ever saw. With the vision came love like never before, pain and gratitude for all things experienced. It was such a great time to just breath. The star showed me how to smile and push away all the past's pain. Forget, all that hurt me and was after me. The star made sure I was never alone, even when it was in far away lands.
He knew of a day where I was only shown kindness when I was among the others. On such day, the star made the day grand! All was smiles, gifts of kindness, love to spare and laughter for days. I never asked it for anything, but it was all given freely. I was never left to feel unwanted. All it ever did was show me how happiness was all around if I chose to take it. A true friendship based on trust, love, wanderlust and kindness.
In the last few years I've forgotten what happiness was supposed to be like. All the lessons were forgotten by bad decisions I made. I am the only person to blame. Lately after many prayers and circumstances, I've been remembering the star and its lessons. I feel as if my time with it, I have taken it for granted. Not everyone gets a star as I did. Its light was taken away from this world but its lessons still live deep within me. Now when the day of kindness and its passing approaches, all I can think about is its lessons.
Someday I'll be strong enough to move away and let go from what holds me back. But for now I will always remember my time with my eternal Shooting Star...
