Tick Tock...Tick Tock...

Lately there has been this quote/phrase coming up a lot. "Time is money," famously produced by Benjamin Franklin nonetheless, but I have to be honest: I discovered this phrase during my travels in Azeroth. World of Warcraft for those who have been saved. "Time is money, friend," the Goblins in Booty Bay say when you close the chat box with them. First I thought it was cute, then annoying, then I found myself using it in RL (real life). For example, when talking to apologetic customers who were in a rush, I'd tell them, "Don't worry! Time is money!". Corny but I got a kick out of using it in relative occurrences. However, I felt that the phrase itself could be used in different ways other than business related. An assignment in one of my classes was to write paper. The main purpose was to utilize the phrase...wait for it, wait for it...."TIME IS MONEY" (Yes it came up again in my life!) and discuss the significance of time management (both in business and personal) by acknowledging time wasting activities that people partake in.  Time is a universal currency and is the one thing in the world that everyone has. Some have more, some have less but the way each individual decides to spend their share of time is what sets us apart. Schedules, itineraries, timelines, they all keep us on track but it’s what is on those schedules, itineraries and timelines that show how we, individually, decide to spend our time. Our personal choices with time are truly what makes us each our own person.

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...

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.

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...
