It is a run of the first level of the Kaizo Rom-Hack of Super Mario World. He overlays all of his attempts into the same video, so you can see all the deaths, but not waste any time! I wish he did the whole game like this.

SNES Cravings (July 24, 2008)
Sometimes I get the craving to play certain SNES games. I remember how much fun I had beating the last boss. Even though I am fully equipped and capable of satiating these cravings and actually playing the game. I usually go download a speed-run of the game, and watch it. Today, I craved Turtles in time.
Only one turtle
Eight hundred dead foot soldiers
Splinter would be proud

to Nap or Not to Nap (September 18, 2006)
Every morning
I promise my eyes a nap ...
each day — a liar.
Surprisingly cold.
I wear my denim jacket
first time since may.
I pay the price for
irresponsibly long nights—
Lisa addiction.
Fingers inform me
I resolve to let them bet.
The air has gone dry.
I crack my knuckles.
Some people despise the sound.
I can tell which ones.
They think I take notes.
My writing hand gyrating—
This haiku becomes.
Through the blinds are trees
green and yellow twirling
covering the ground.
Every girls I see
I think about her naked—
Automatically.
Journalist speaker.
Such passionate examples
and "et-cetera."

Every several years of wear
broken snooze button.
UofM computer lab.
Make off with some loot.
I can see my breath
but sitting in a classroom?
Someone crank the heat!
Time for a new clock.
Every several years of wear
broken snooze button.

Thursday (Septemeber 7, 2006)
Surprised every time—
All of the ugly people...
Some of them by choice!
I have bought no books.
Teacher claims their importance.
Got enough firewood.
My thirtieth sneeze.
Running nose formed a puddle.
Allergy attack.

Worklag (September 05, 2006)
I am so sleepy—
When my eyes finally shit
I dream of sleeping.
Working an open...
It isn't in my nature
Steadfast night person.

Last Day of Summer School, Bit Late (August 4, 2006)
Lame presentations.
An Altoid keeps me awake
curiously strong.
A four-day headache
agitated by bad habits:
staying up all night.
We earn a free lunch
from the PermCoat company
—Can we order booze?

My Mind Past Midnight (August 2, 2006)
Car on a highway.
empty in all directions
speeding profusely.
A lifetime's thinking
can occur in just one night—
but to remember...
Sigh of surrender;
my eyes snap to attention.
I prepare some tea.

Mario Haiku (July 29, 2006)
The common koopa:
Mostly harmless to humans
Slaughtered for their shells.
Green spotted mushroom
grown in brick and mortar blocks—
second chance at life.
Floating marshmallow
He can't help the way he is,
the cutest undead.
Although uncreative
he has determination.
Kidnap the princess!
Professor Toadsworth
The princess's retainer
You know what that means.
FLUDD water device
Mario's swiss army knife
and comic relief.

Tough Wednesday (June 15, 2006)
Demand masonry?
Take your hallow threats elsewhere
Madrid will be mine.
Pulled an all-nighter
before a three hour class
—Civilization
In my morning grog
I hunt for a pop machine.
School of management.
Vault energy drink
seventy-eight grams of sugar?
Bottled heart attack.
Thirty minutes pass
before I realize
I'm not listening.
Very abruptly
puts on her denim jacket...
She must have noticed.
Ten minute break.
I ponder leaving early;
the angel prevails.

Summer Class (June 12, 2006)
Weeks of all-nighters
into a ten AM class.
I long for a nap.
Managment teacher,
she looks like a ball buster,
she probably is.
During the lecture
I resist checking the clock
Always a letdown.

River Falls (June 9, 2006)

We hunt for hidden treasure
elusive goomba.
Late night excursion—
Under glowing street lamps
we share our feelings.
Digorno Pizza.
Every time we get tripsy
midnight snack of choice.
Lisa drinks me jokes
while I take shots of whisky
her jokes are tipsy.
Jamie not herself
Is it Ben or period?
I give it one guess...
Lisa writes haiku
who's quality threatens me
Good thing I love her.
Lisa wears no bra
I can tell by her nipples
My pants get tighter.

Jaime and Lisa (May 18, 2006)
Pad Face eats Pad Thai—
is it cannibalism
or just irony?
Lisa and Jaime
dialogue tuns sexual.
Thai food restaurant.
Don't let your guard down
clubs and bars in the city—
cougars on the prowl.
Dr. Mario:
L knows pharmaceuticals.
J knows excuses.

Lisa's Graduation (May 13, 2006)
Eight pages of names
but only one with value
Our lovely Lisa.
Babies are cellphones
That can't be put on vibrate.
Leave them at home please.

Pink Slip (May 3, 2006)
Birthday week begins
on an unfortunate note.
Party on friday.
To the management:
I hope you get paralyzed
sooner the better.
If I had the power
to cause cancer with my thoughts—
UCS outbreak.
I lighted the load
with the help of liquor,
and a few good friends.

Load Off (April 26, 2006)
Final projects done
I feel thirteen pounds lighter.
Three tests remaining.
Out in a T-Shirt
I'm sick of it already:
Minnesota spring.
Pencil like a knife
Teacher evaluations;
I hold nothing back.
Brace for the river
Anything but a diamond...
—Seven of diamonds.

Bruno in Trouble (April 24, 2006)
My rebellious child,
expelled from the dog kennel—
Fight instigator.
I pick up Bruno
and take him to McDonalds;
double cheeseburger.
Bruno needs a bath
after the battle royal
I got one as well.

Leaning Tower of Pizza (April 18, 2006)
The Leaning Tower
uncharted territory
--Celery pizza.
Hot bloody mary.
A flame kindles in my guts
--A spicy future.
Some drink after work,
sympathy for the absent:
gossip festival.
Justin's last week here
UCS without poker?
What a fucking beat!
Robyn and Tina
express thier lesbian love.
Boys with erections.
Bob and Tina chat;
clitoral conversation--
Happy to eavesdrop.

Nap Hunger (April 10, 2006)
Outside birds chirping,
excited about the sun,
wake me for my day.
Everyday in class
I plan on napping later
never follow through.
It's finally warm:
flaunt it if you got it girls!
-Way ahead of me.
