There’s a very important distinction in the founding American philosophy that goes unrecognized by far too many people. You have the right to the “pursuit of happiness” not to happiness itself.

Oh God Your Backstory For Mario And Luigi Just Gave Me The Most Gut Wrenching Angst Idea, Just Imagine This Whole Clip

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dLwjEtY4uas

But With Teen Mario And Young Luigi, Literally I Bet Mario Hade To Sacrifice So Much Just For Luigi To Be Happy, He Is Such A Good Brother :(((

OMG, I'm crying! I love this so much! I can imagine Mario telling Luigi stories like this to cheer him up when times got rough.

--------------------------------------------------

Luigi snuggled closer to Mario, the cold bench beneath them making both brothers shiver. Mario ran his fingers through Luigi's hair, gently untangling the dark strands. The younger boy stared into space sadly before speaking.

"I wanna go home." Luigi whispered. Mario shook the tears away at this. Anger blossomed in his chest as he thought of his parents. It was their fault they could never go home.

"Hey, we don't need to go home. We can go somewhere even better!" He said, brightening up as he got an idea. Luigi turned his head to glare at his brother.

"No we can't."

"Yes we can!"

"No, we can't!" Mario chuckled wetly, swallowing the lump in his throat. He pulled a music box from his coat pocket. Luigi sat up, peering at it skeptically.

"Yes, we can. With this, we can go anywhere we want. We could even be whoever we want!" Luigi still looked unsure, so Mario pointed to the crank.

"We just have to turn this crank, and let the magic happen! Close your eyes." Luigi shook his head, still frowning.

"You close your eyes, I wanna see!" Mario smirked, obliging.

"Ok, let's crank it together." He found his brother's hand. Together, they twisted the crank.

"Close your eyes, Weegie!" Mario exclaimed. Luigi obeyed, squeezing his eyes shut. As the soft music began to play, Mario opened his eyes. He shook his brother excitedly.

"Hey, look! Look, Luigi!" Luigi opened his eyes, seeing the same deserted subway station.

"See what?" Mario pulled Luigi up from the bench, bright smile rubbing off on his brother.

"Look where we are! There's a lake with bright blue water over there! And over on that hill, there's a Castle! Don't you see it?" Luigi giggled, playing along.

"Yeah! Yeah, I see it! There's dinosaurs too! Over there!" Mario's laugh echoed through that subway station.

"Haha! Yeah, I see them! What do you want to be?" Luigi gave it some thought, then his eyes lit up.

"Can we be princes? Then we can live in the castle, and be happy forever!" Mario gave him a bittersweet smile, rubbing his back.

"Yeah, bro."

"We can be princes."

In that deserted subway station, neither boy could ever imagine that their fantasy would become their reality...

So polygon reviewed Remnant 2 and called it boring - and while there’s some background where the reviewer definitely doesn’t like that kind of game fundamentally, I feel like if you dins boring a game where you travel from contemporary earth, that had a major apocalypse in the 50s/60s due to connecting to the realms children dreamed of, where you travel to said realms one of which is 100% just bloodborne with elves…like what even makes you happy

Monuments: Beyond the Star

A friend is letting me watch the Monuments series through their Disney Plus account. The series is a decent companion to Beyond the Story and the individual interviews offer interesting additional insights into their state of mind at different points in their career.

I've just finished getting up to date with Episodes 3 & 4. Bang PD generally gives me the heebs but what he said about success and happiness not being synonymous was worth highlighting. Airport-hotel-arena-hotel-airport. Travelling to all these amazing locations and never having the chance to really experience them.

Song for Episode 3: Pursuit of Happiness

youtube

The COVID footage in Episode 4 was a stark reminder of how alone we all were during that frightening time. It also highlighted how BTS members supported each other. We know Jimin struggled but, how much worse would it have been without J-Hope messaging him on the group chat or RM face timing him?

Song for Episode 4: Disconnected

Fear in My Mind

“The dark has always gripped me with excitement and intrigue. The thought of a fight with an enemy no matter how worthy an adversary makes my mouth water with rage and anticipation. Sometimes I wish we lived like savages so I could show them what I’m really made of.”

-me

I fear the gentle and kind, because they know a secret that’s written all over the walls in invisible ink.

I fear the crushing loneliness of this existence. To love is to accept loss. To live is to risk losing it all. How many times can a human lose it all before they become resentful?

I fear the unstoppability of my mind. The thoughts come faster than I can filter them. Anxiety grips me by the temples and pulls me into work every day.

I fear being ungrateful because of my focus on darkness. I have been conditioned to seek the ugly like a dog hunting for an intruder while it forgets it’s sitting by a fire next to its family with all the toys it could want and a full bowl of its favorite food next to it.

I fear pursuing what I am passionate about. I don’t want to be judged. “I fear regret more.” I say, digging my heels in the sand.

I fear dying unhappy. Knowing I wasn’t who I should’ve been.

Where it all began

I started out making jewelry in 2015 as a hobby while I was on my first deployment in the United States Navy. Soon after returning home I made a couple pieces for close friends and family but never thought about making a business out of it. In fact, I tried a few multi-level marketing (I guess that's what they are called) Itworks, BeachBody, Amway, basically a few things where you sell products and try to get others to sign up to sell products "with" you. BOO! Not a fan. I wanted to run a business but I felt no passion for the products of services. The only thing I was proud of was things I made myself. Fast forwarding a few years, (a lot happened but this is the summary). I was still in the Navy and it was taking up ALL OF MY TIME but I managed to fall in love <3 and get married in 2021. I decided to leave the Navy in 2022 to start a family and pursue something I was passionate about, but the only PROBLEM was it had been YEARS since I had really been creative or had a creative space to work in. But we just bought a house so space wasn't the issue anymore. I had to take some time to "re-discover" myself, which any veteran can tell you after they separate from the service, you sort of forget a lot about yourself when you assimilate into the military because individuality really isn't a thing (no regrets though). I worked as a contractor for the Navy from March 2022 - Nov 2023 but decided to step away from that with the help of my supportive hubby :) I really needed to get my own identity back. I did some spring (REALLY FALL) cleaning, which led me to breaking out the cases of jewelry making supplies that were long forgotten in storage. It brought back some wonderful emotions! And that's when I remembered how much I enjoyed making things with my hands and coming up with creative designs. And just like that, I got bit by the creative bug and I couldn't be happier about it. I began creating pieces like a mad woman and now with the confidence (thanks Navy) that I COULD DO THIS FOR A LIVING!! MAKING THINGS! AND BEING HAPPY DOING IT! So that is what I am doing. Making things whether by hand or designing in the digital space (which I have also been really enjoying). I have sold my pieces at several markets and pop-up locations since December 2023 and I am still deciding what I want to go back to school for (Also HUGE THANK YOU NAVY) but I am leaning toward graphic design and business. I am in the middle of building my web-site for my online Gift Shop (cuz Mamas got plans) which will be coming SOON. I have been making moves like mad...tripping, stumbling and blundering my way through Etsy and social media. But it is all for a greater goal and that is to build a successful business that I can run from my home while I raise our future children. And lastly that brings me to tell you about the name "Eudaimond". It's a name I made from the word Eudaimonia, which translates to happiness, or more accurately "human flourishing". This resonated deeply with me and it became the name of my business. It represents my current journey for a happy and purposeful life. When you shop with Eudaimond, you shop with a purpose. Whether it's a gift for others or yourself, the act is intentional and your time is important. And I want to provide intentional products worth that time. Thanks for being here.

This. Is NOT. Changing!

The spin machines for the FILTHY rich elite continue to propagate lies that loud, hateful, non-intellectual, name-calling MTG-types keep repeating. All AGAINST their own best interests:

Remember those Trump-era conservative tax cuts from that better-quality first image? THAT was only the beginning...

Trillion-dollar Apple - as an example - was able to dodge approximately $40 BILLION in taxes by using a relatively paltry amount of its offshore $252 BILLION untaxed cash-on-hand (that's literally CASH, not asset equity) to "reinvest" in US ventures thanks to further sweetheart legislation that they, with Microsoft, Facebook and Alphabet, combined to spend more than $16 million JUST IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2017 to get passed through Congress! For reference:

Still reading? All-told, as of 2017, the FORTUNE 500 had approximately $2.6 TRILLION in untaxed offshore funds (CASH, not asset equity)! What was in YOUR wallet in 2017? And how about now?

If you're working class, the FILTHY RICH and YOUR GOVERNMENT owe you! They've been cheating YOU for a VERY long time!
