My Farewell.

Wow.  I can't believe I've done this 365 times.  Looking back, I am amazed to see what a life I've had.  There's still so much to come, and I can hardly wait.

Thank you.  I'm glad I was able to share my memories with you.  For one year or so, we had a conversation almost every day.  Now my scrapbook is going to close.  To be sure, there will be more adventures, more memories, more wonderful times- just not here.  This is it.  However, I wanted to go out on a high note, so I collaborated with some friends over at I-BulldogStudios and made you this.  This is a song I used to sing to Baby Mario on our first adventure together.  Someone posted a theory on Pinterest, and they were right.  If you want to see the whole story you can check it out here.  At any rate, again, thank you.  I'll never forget the time we've shared learning from and sometimes laughing at my past.  Good bye, and God bless.

Continually Egging Me on.

I guess some things simply don't change.

Stay on Target.

That's my biggest source of distraction.  Food.  Thankfully it usually leads to me achieving my goals anyways.

Locate Rate.

And the other's are Luigi's, and then mine, with just one Mario.  I really think my life must sometimes be a show on BBC or something.  Thanks, Nine.

Petal Purpose.

And we will leave it at that.  Suffice it to say that I was soon disillusioned.

Chaotic Calm.

Ever had that feeling of serenity right before things go crazy?  That's me at every race, basically.

Chomp Rock Chum.

I wish I had one of these in my living room.

Opera Ape.

I laughed too hard for him not to notice.  He forgave me, though, and even gave me permission to post the photo, agreeing that it was pretty funny.

What If...Nah.

I drew this sketch when I was younger.  It was one of those "What do you want to be when you grow up?" things in Kindergarten, and was before I met Mario.  Apparently I wanted to be some sort of Apatopteradactyl thing.  Glad I didn't get my way.

Eye on It.

This is a pretty lousy picture, but I like it because it reminds me of that game I played with my parents where my Dad would come and tell me to close my eyes and when I opened them he would have a gift in his hands for me.  He still does that occasionally.

Not Necessary.

I mean, he is making enough noise to make himself pretty obvious.  The arrow is nice, I guess, but, I CAN hear him loud and clear.  Just sayin'.

Named Nicely.

I actually don't mind, I just kind of find it amusing.  On the other hand, it has different names in different countries, and some of those include Mario in the title.  Luigi's in this adventure too, though.  It's weird.

Scope in Retrospect.

Sometimes our mistakes end up being our favorite memories.  That's my experience, anyways.

Natural Concern.

Yeah.  It's not.  Ever.  This low-res picture still fills me with dread, because there's nothing like being woken up from a nap to find out your friends are missing!  Seriously, WHO WROTE MY STORY?!

Bowser Tech?

When you get it.

Walk & Talk.

In spite of the fact that the stories of our adventures never seem to show us talking, we do.  Honestly, I'd get bored to death just carrying Mario around all the time.  Here I was actually telling Mario about Bowser's "visit" before he arrived.  If I had a follow-up photo you'd see Mario responding, but, I don't.  Next time maybe.

See It Different.

That's why it's good to study international history.

After You, and You, and You.

Yep.  I think Monty probably has that whole imitation game down pat.
