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 there with the coffee still steaming awaiting me to take a sip or two. Distractions. The distractions that pull me this way and that, confining my mind to the task at hand. I glance over and remember to take a couple quick sips. I don't savor them. I don't even really think about it. Cooling. My coffee sits in place, still as can be. Seconds, minutes and hours pass by. The time goes unnoticed and I sit down to finally enjoy what has been waiting for me.

I place my lips on the cup and sip. Absolute cold, bitterness that bites back. Confused, I start to wonder what happened to the consoling beverage I had what seemed like mere moments ago? I start to sip more, hoping to bring back what once was. I sip faster now only tasting resentment. Then I gulp the rest down. Emptiness. Sheer nothing. It's gone. I devoured the bitterness in hopes of bringing the warmth and comfort back only to be left with an empty cup looking back at me. I think I may be done drinking coffee for awhile.

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.

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...
