Day 85 – confronting demons

09:57 Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my self-respect. Prepare to die!

Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You propped me up with illusions. Prepare to die!

Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You made me ugly while believing myself beautiful. Prepare to die!

Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You made me believe I needed you to act silly and free, prepare to die!

Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You kept me from publishing. You made me think it was more fun to criticize others’ work rather than to show my own. Prepare to die!

Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You tricked me when I was lost and lonely in the woods. Prepare to die!

Hello! My name is… Well. You know my name by now.

You know what, buddy? Let’s just go have a fresh-pressed orange juice together… or head on our separate ways.

My gods I ‘m in a weird and wonderful mood today…  praise be. And fresh juice rocks.

10:36 okay I just spent wayyyyyy too much time looking for “oranges plus sword” feature images on Pexels. Just never mind. And please imagine Mandy Patinkin swashbuckling through flying oranges somewhere near a turquoise sea.

Edit 21:16 (after Nelson’s comment — thank you Nelson!) For those who haven’t seen The Princess Bride (1987) (you must if you like action comedy!), here is the initial Inigo Montoya scene (as well as his photo inserted above):

And here is where he meets the six-fingered villain of the story)  in the final bloody duel to the death (spoilers, obviously!)

Sometimes we need to kill our demons dead, if they keep coming after us. ;))

Okay that was definitely a weird post.
