Friday, April 29 Disclaimer: “Mr. Myamoto Would you sell me all your Nintendo stuff for a dollar?” “…No.” “You’ve obviously never heard of 10-10-4-40 where you can get all your 20 minute pho-“ “Go away kid… You bother me” :) Here it was again. It now seemed more like normal life to this poor plumber then his once easy existence in New York. That damn kid wanted to play with his toys again, and that meant pain, suffering, and usually death, in fact, always death. It didn’t matter that you were brought back to life every time with the weakness and numbing pain from battle completely gone. You still died, died as many times as that little shit wanted to let you. Within the first week Mario no longer wanted to reappear on that shinny platform in the sky. He no longer took any semblance of pride in his victories. Sure the spectators thought he did, he always struck a fancy pose after he defeated… no murdered his former friends and enemies like they were all so many little monsters threatening the continuation of life itself. He had been forced into the life of a passionless killer who preformed for the entertainment of others. They even showed him doing it on their “entertainment systems” all the while thinking he was some program in their “Game cubes.” Thinking that they were in fact the ones who were doing the killing. They called it entertainment… Mario called it Hell. Mario felt the urge to display his murderous skills invading his mind once again. The unavoidable command to kill whatever was placed before him returned. This time that seemingly bitter enemy was a shock to Mario. He had killed his brother countless times… In fact those battles were actually kinda fun… in a very sadistic way. He had also ended the life of his closest friend and ally Yoshi, who had fought beside him in all their terrible battles before this abyss. He had fought hard with Yoshi, constantly trying to break the compulsion to send this friendly dinosaur into oblivion and simply reach out to once again hug his great friend… That first time Yoshi wasn’t under this spell and was ultimately confused as to why his mighty comrade was trying to end his life with the fury of any demon they together had faced. Eventually after multiple injuries the great reptile finally mustered the nerve to fight back. “This can’t be him. It must be an imposter” he finally concluded and unleashed his first vicious attack just before being grabbed and thrown into a wall… an explosive wall… the next thing he knew was the complete blackness of death and defeat. That first battle had sent Mario into the state of despair that he had yet to recover from… probably never would. But this, this was too much. To fight the one he truly loved, the one he had risked his life to save so often. No! They can’t do this to him! Everything sacred in this world was already destroyed but this one thing, his Peach. The blood lust in his mind suddenly sky rocketed, ‘You will kill this one too’ it seemed to say. “Never! There isn’t a powerful enough force in this universe to make me do that, not even in this God forsaken, hell hole.” “Then why are you shooting fire at her?” Mario was almost as surprised to hear the voice as he was to find that it told the truth. He had just used the same attack that he had on so many evils in this world on the love of his life. As Mario stared at what he had done to his love he noticed that the fire seemed to move from the spot on her dress where he hit her straight into her eyes. That attack had somehow created a nearly magical fury within the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and Mario was sure that red glow was exactly what Yoshi had seen in his eyes at the start of their battle. “If you do not fight her now she will kill you anyway… Even worse, She will hate how pathetic you will look as she does it. She will hate you.” Again that unmerciful voice rang through his mind. And most of his mind believed exactly what had been said… Every part in fact, except the one that would let him avoid that vicious slap coming at his head. POW! He was knocked face first into the ground, directly within the folds of the Princesses dress… which seemed to have weights or something sewn into the hem. The princess used this newly discovered weapon by twirling in a horrific cyclone that pummeled poor Mario’s body continually with enough force to break every bone he had. With that the terrifying woman picked the fat plumber off the ground and with another tremendous slap sent Mario into that black oblivion he so craved. All he could think while flying at that hideous wall was “I’m sorry I passed this to you… I’m so sorry.” All the while hearing the cackling voice of that demented child in his head ringing out with the only epitaph one received here “You lose.” posted by Joel | 2:38 PM Saturday, April 23 I am so angry right now.... I never thought I would get like this... I guess I did love her... I often questioned that... I always felt bad saying "I love you"... I guess that's why she thought I didn't say it enough... cause I didn't... It was lying... she wanted confirmation and I didn't have anything solid to give... I saw this whole thing coming and I just waited for it... I almost hoped sometimes that she would do it... so I wouldn't have to... but now... now I just have hate... I hate him... I hate this micheal guy... he's never done anything against me... he just saw something he liked and went for it... he didn't give two nicks about me just as I wouldn't have given about him... Yet still I hate him... I hate her tonight... hopefully I won't for long but tonight... tonight I do... I hate her for lying to me... told me it wasn't the other guys she was hanging out with... It was... she liked him... and was holding back some dickhead named Joel who lived 600 miles away... she didn't like me very much at the end... she didn't talk anymore... she looked for opportunities to fight... I dodged... I weaved... I became bitter... preparing defences before they're needed breeds resentment... So does listening to your girlfriend who you've been telling yourself for years that you love... making yourself believe it so that maybe she might believe it too... who you now have to tell yourself that you didn't love afterall... remind yourself that she really wasn't your type... realize that this is harder to believe... Listening to her tell you about how much fun she had dancing and drinking with these guys... trying to be supportive... because you've told her all along that she needs to find some friends... even if you don;t like the ones she's found you have to say "that's very nice honey"... you also have to say that because if you don't you give her ammo for anytime she's unreasonably jealous about something... I made an analogy about stepping on each others toes on here once... I did it at the same time that someone else was having relationship issues so it was assumed that I was referring to their relationship... I wasn't I was complaining about my aching toes... eventually you need to learn to dance... I've never been much of a dancer... There have been so many things I wished I could say but I couldn't because she read my blog... I've said most of them here... there was one post that I never published... it remained a draft for a long time... I don't know where it went but It's gone now... I posted about one time shortly after she had come up to stay... her Tom and I had been staying up watching some Anime I had rented from netflix... They were bored or something... they fell asleep on top of each other... it bothered me... It wasn't that I was jealous of Tom... or thought that anything was going on there... I was bothered because if the situation were reversed and I had slept even in the same room as some girl with whom I had a completely Platonic relationship she would have bit my head off... It made me feel that while she expected so much devotion from me... she gave little or no concern to whether I might not approve... This may be the longest post I've ever written... that wasn't a story at least... and that's because this has built up so long... I'm rambling... probably making no sense... I'm gonna go to bed now... or at least try posted by Joel | 12:17 AM Tuesday, April 19 So after nearly two years of absence due to a certain individual who shall remain... Lacey!!! the CD "The End is Near" by my all-time favorite band, Five Iron Frenzy, is finally in my possesion again... my father was kind enough to purchase it... anyway here are the lyrics to a song I like rather muchly... I know that you're probably mad at me, I've come to expect that. You know that you'll never have all of me, you've come to resent that. You say "tomato", I say "Video games", you're so solemn. You'll take the precious remote control from me. Do I sound like Gollum? It's not that I'm escaping, you charm me like a flame does moths, it's just that you'd prefer me docile like a narcoleptic sloth. The wizard needs food badly, the Voltron can't be incomplete. The things I love, you hate so madly, I must not go down in defeat. In the hunter-gatherer societies, I'd bring home the bacon. Public thought says men should try and be tame stirred but not shaken. I say "baseball" then you start to cry, I'm sorry I grieve you. I think a motorcycle's a good way to die, This must bereave you. I know that you try so hard, and I'm not saying it's a sin. It's just that they don't feel my pain in Vogue or Cosmopolitan. And I'm sure that you have your reasons, but listen to me please... I want the G.I. Joe with the Kung-Fu action grip. I want Nintendo with the extra-graphics-microchip. Tackle football with rocks and sticks and knives and pain.. I want a truck with the four wheel drive train. You'd rather see me get good at bookkeeping, I could clean house in the time that I'm not sleeping. I live to serve you, and I don't want to be rude, but you should see that the wizard needs food (the song ends with a soundbyte straight from the original Gauntlet game that says Wizard needs food badly) posted by Joel | 11:53 PM Tuesday, April 12 So.... Two things of importance happened today... things that haven't happened for quite some time... First I bought a new car... a Volvo... A big brown wagon... Kinda ugly... kinda old... but It'll last forever... and it runs well... always a plus... the second thing... I was broken up with... Krystal wants a break... It's hard to express to you guys exactly what that means to me... I've been expecting something like it for the past couple weeks... I've been expecting far worse really... I was going down there on thursday... She told me she was going to wait to do it in person... that would have been fun... "So we just broke up... hows about staying at my place for another three nights?"... I just called to cancel the plane tickets... My sister will buy the credit off of me when she comes up next time or something... Anyway I'll see you guys at school or something posted by Joel | 11:34 PM |
