I feel like I’ve lost touch with the person I used to be. I remember being so happie as a child, close to my siblings and my parents. But now I am just a shadow of a ‘real person’, unable to have authentic connections with n e 1.
I might select an iconic staple from my youth, and try to utilize it in a way that helps me reconnect with my past. Probs gonna do this with the popular network of characters spawned by Nintendo’s classic game Super Mario Bros. Those bros have been there with me through everything. Sorta think that Super Mario Kart is pretty chill.
It would be chill to chil with Toad again / get a tugjob from Princess Toadstool.

Might find a ghey version of Donkey/Diddy Kong who is some sort of sexie cage/gogo dancer.
Probs gonna chill with Wario or something.
Thinking about chilling down a pipe and never returning, ending up in some chill ass world where I can run free, jumping and collecting coins.
Miss the days when I could ‘escape’ and just play a video game. Can’t believe I am ‘grown up’ now and people are doing ‘fun shit’ like having Mario Partiez. Feels ‘not very real.’ I want 2 curl up in a ball and pretend that I am a child again. I am scared of life. I am scared of my retirement plan/real problems.
What type of ‘ironic’ vintage party would yall have 2 connect with ur past?

why are you blgging so much about vid games lately crls?
you act like you’re above them, but yet you keep finding them relevant enough to post about.
can’t you just admit that you enjoy them?
can’t we all just forget about the ‘uncool/unalt factor’ associated with vid games and just have meaningful experiences playing them together whilst getting ‘fucked up?’
nothing better than mario kart 64 with 4 controllers, 3 good buds, and good buds (via mary jane)
gonna go commit mass murder in gta/cod4/animal crossing with HEALTH blasting at an unsafe level

Why do people try to talk like Carles? it makes you sound so childish and so un-unique because you can’t find your own way to type.

If Wario is there, it’s not an ‘authentic’ Mario party. I wouldn’t even walk in the door if Yoshi showed up.

I think I will use the Zelda & Contra party idea. Check out the pictures from our Mario Mustache Party we did Nov 2008 http://www.indiekrush.com/?p=520

Wish hipsters didn’t steal ‘looking like a nerd/dork’. Wish that I could go back to the days when seeing someone dressed in ’stupid looking glasses’ and ‘ridiculous clothes’ meant that I could talk to them and be comfortable about any topic, like Video Games/Music/Politics. Now when I see someone that looks like a ‘geek’, I can’t tell whether I can converse with them like a human being or whether they are going to say ‘vain/self-concious/inane’ things in order to enhance their ‘personal brand’.
Went to a party where everyone was dressed like video game characters. They weren’t being ironic. Had a real good time. Played some video games/listened to AnCo/had sex with a girl dressed like princess peach. I recommend it.

Here’s some more good pics from that Nintendo Vs Sega party we had in august 09. Also added some more pics of the crowd to the link above, including a super hot Princess Peach and Chun Li who are my mates!
Thanks for the inspiration Carles!
