Falling In Love with the Princess Bride

Falling+In+Love+with+the+Princess+Bride

Home alone with nothing more than TV and an iPhone, I decide to watch some shows old show to pass the time and there it was, but there on AMC was movie night.

A game of wits with poison with iocane powder.

It shows the error of an over analytical mind vs true trickster, both are cunning.

What I didn’t realized I was building up a resilience to something, it wasn’t to poison but instead something that would leave an emotional mark. 

It didn’t have the had as hard without those oh so powerful words:

“You son of a (expletive).” 

Without those words but to see him lips if they were instead of a falcon. If you show me when I was a younger boy, and hated any form cursing but   I would see it as campy but enjoy the swordplay. 

Just as the boy in bed who didn’t want to hear about kissing, as I am to people who are drinkers or act foolish.

“I don’t mind as much.” 

As the clock struck 5 p.m. with Dexter Laboratory, at hour that consider Adult Swim after 6 p.m. of all places. What I consider as childish and devil hour are all rolled up hanging out with old friend who has a joint. 

To be fair, I do hang out with a lot of drunks online who treat me like I was a prince.

I am usually the one sober, and occasionally see me as a God but that the probability the alcohol speaking but similar sentiment my father share when he spoke to me and sister accomplishments at parties getting tipsy.

These people while able nurse me were able raise my spirit before I was “almost dead” of creativity.

I even asked the spirit of those drinkers to help me figure out my way through algorithm complex to be life, who need Lucifer with his champagne mountain. I’m Alestor.

All I can say is “My name is Jaime Rivas, you have heard my story, this is Sayonara.” 

If unfortunate to watch live. Dang commercials. there always is the internet. The movie is $16.99, and few clips.

Watch as you choose. “As you wish.”
