Whats in the number 100? It is a nice round number that makes you feel comfortable or even acomplished. But what about the number 99? What feelings emerge? For me, the number 99 is simply one step behind 100. Just a baby step away from something better. Well for about 12 years Super Mario World on Super Nintendo has been bothering me. After 'beating' the game multiple times the beginning still reads 99% completed. Among other things this is my white whale, I just can not seem to beat the game. Which leads me to my hatred f the number 99. Since the game destroyed my childhood all the negative images in the game led me to resent them. Like the number 99.
If you have 99 cents you can not really buy anything. You are one cent away from the dollar menu at McDonalds or various fast food stores. Also its a means of illusion. Everything on infomercials cost 19.99 well you think your really paying under 20 bucks but your actually spending more
Alright I don't feel like writing anymore i need to play super nintendo
