Princess Peach can GTFO

Just finished Mario Odyssey. Yes, it took me a long time. It was a challenge finding the time to play between work, planning a move to a new state next month, and caring for a terror straight out of hell commonly referred to as my son. Also, I’m just not that good in gaming anymore. Adulting sucks. If you haven’t finished playing and don’t want spoilers, then you know the drill: Quit reading this. I don’t know the last time I actually finished the storyline in a game (maybe Jet Force Gemini back in 1999?), but with Mario Odyssey I made it a goal to complete this platform, action-adventure style game since I legit have never finished a Mario game in my 31 years of life. Never. So here I am, finally completed a lifetime goal and I’m torn. First and foremost, MO is an amazing experience. This is a completionist gamer’s dream. I thought I scoured each zone for moons and found most of them, but realized I am nowhere close to collecting all the moons hidden throughout

Teeth Stained Ending

I never asked for you to wait for me, but I never thought you'd leave so soon I'm sitting at my desk drinking a lukewarm cup of coffee and my is it bitter. Seriously bitter. I do enjoy my coffee black, but when I cringe with every sip, I realize that it is not enjoyable as the previous cup, but it is my fault that it got this way. Hell I lied. It's not even lukewarm. It's cold. I recall watching the coffee being made. Piping hot, full of warmth. A comfort I was excited to wake up to. And the coffee cup. Oh the cup and it's beautiful design. It may seem simplistic to others, but I see something much more when I look at the cup, knowing exactly what it holds inside. The way the handle is placed urges me to hold it closely as I wrap both my hands around the entire cup and bring it closely to my face feeling the heat and the energy from the steam as I slowly close my eyes and inhale the moment. Bliss. Pure bliss. Then I set the cup down. I let the cup sit th

Someday

Someday someone is going to accept everything about me. Someday someone is going to hold me and never want to let go. Someday someone is going to wipe the tears from my eyes. Someday someone is going to love me. Someday I'm going to love someone.

#TBT Audio Version

Locked the door to the house this morning and walked out to my car. Had a moment of panic as I forgot I parked in front, not in my usual spot in the driveway, but I really was only half awake to fully care. As I waited for the cars to pass for safe entry in to my vehicle, I started to think about what I should listen to on the way to work. “Ahhhh, today is Thursday.” I thought to myself as I pressed the button to start the engine. Friday Eve. The weekend is so close I can almost taste, smell and feel it. The feeling of the work week ending definitely needed to have a theme song. As I departed from home on my 9 minute journey down Yakima Avenue to work, the sweet sounds of Kylie Minogue’s Love Affair started to bump through my speakers. 3 minutes and 49 seconds of pure nostalgia. Nostalgia of a more simpler time in my life.  “ Now we've only just begun, We're running out of time, I don't wanna think about the sun” It’s a funny thing how your mind can recall such lyrics. I

Eyeballing the Unexpected

Sometimes I get to a certain point with people where I slowly start to excuse myself from their lives which is a complete indication that I realize that I do not need them and it's best that they do not need me. Sadly, it is a common occurrence for myself as I tend to be quite selective on who I let into my world. I'm not saying that my world is spectacular or anything, but I do it in order to keep myself from feeling just like another pawn in this big game of chess. I'd like to think I'm more of a bishop since the path I take typically veers at an angle. Anyways, the funny thing about this introduction is that I'm not writing about letting someone go. I'm writing about letting someone in. Which that in itself is a very, very rare development in Porkchop's Modern Life. Pouring. The rain was similar to home. "Do you get rain like this in Washington?" he asked while adjusting the windshield wipers. "Oh yeah." I replied. It was normal. Jus

Moments of Happiness

I had a dream about Shez. For those who don't know, Shez was a most beloved pet Shih Tzu of 17 years. She passed away peacefully over a year ago. Laying in my bed, deep in dream land, there was this notion that I was laying in the exact spot however accompanied by Shez. The best cuddle buddy I have ever had. Ever. She was in her elderly stages, but still circling aimlessly on top of the blankets, just trying to find the right time to plop her little body down to rest. I loved watching her do that. Especially right when she would lay down, she would let out this little puppy sigh as if the demands of her life were so heavy that she was excited to finally be able to lay down for the fiftieth time that day. This dream was bittersweet. I did not want to wake up, holding on to the lovely moment my mind was giving me. I miss Shez, but I know that all good things must come to an end. I am so thankful we had her for so long.

May the 4th be with you.

I'm sitting on the edge of my bed wearing my wookie hat. Currently I am listening to this man I woke up next to who is looking at my world map posted on the wall, pondering about how Greenland is not a continent and wondering who makes those decisions on whether a large mass of land is a continent or not. WHO DECIDED? I don't know, but what I do know is that in the Star Wars universe George Lucas is a God and created this imaginary system that I have grown to adore with all my heart. So today, I will be celebrating everything good about Star Wars and will be watching all the episodes gladly. MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU MY GOOD PEOPLE! HUZZAH. Porkchop out.
