Consider this a review from the archives. The "archives" are what I like to refer to as a dark period of time between eating a platter of nachos, the drawn-out time not spent writing about said nachos, and today. Why does this happen? What causes these setbacks? I suppose in every hero's journey we must face certain challenges, yet overcome these challenges with the skills and knowledge accumulated on our treacherous adventure. What was the ordeal I experienced at KC's Alley? What crisis could have possibly made me question my calling and put everything I have learned to the ultimate test?
Mediocrity.
My girlfriend always color coordinates her nail polish to my nachos.
That's it. Mediocrity is actually the Supreme Ordeal I must face, conquer, and triumphantly return from on my hero's quest whilst preventing others from suffering a similar fate. Mediocrity is a far more troublesome foe than inferiority. It is simple to revile awful nachos and even simpler to praise delectable ones. The ultimate test is actually the one that requires me to confront my fears, reflect on my journey, and write a nacho review that doesn't actually review nachos at all. That is the overwhelming power of mediocrity. It can paralyze you, steal your breath along with your words, and ultimately oppress ambition. However!, if I am successful in overcoming this trial my reward could be power. It could be knowledge or insight. It could even be the most sought after treasure on this great nacho quest: ad revenue.

1) My nails do look cute. (It's the color I wore on our first date and it has brought back memories of nachos since) 2) I'm still mad that they tried to kill me with the pesto, but thankful that you made the decision to not eat your pesto salad for the sake of my health ...and 3) I feel like I could not stop eating those nachos even in their mediocre state simply because with each bite there was the anticipation that something good might happen. Maybe one day...

ok, so i feel as though there wasn't much said about the nachos except that they were mediocre. and i know i can't really complain about a "free service", but i think a little more elaboration on their mediocrity would have helped us, the readers, fully understand the extent of this obstacle you encountered. i do like how you worked in the word 'supreme' in there though. that word always reminds me of nachos.
ReplyDeletebtw, the stuff on the chip (which i assume is meat of some sort with cheese on the side. see where elaboration would have been helpful?) looks like dog food. but your gf's nails look really nice!
