Today is my birthday, and that means my 27th year of loving God, family, friends, technology, flowers/nature, cats, and another year & decade of being a Mario fan! Thanks @NintendoAmerica & @CharlesMartinet for all the memories! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😃" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎂" title="Geburtstagskuchen" aria-label="Emoji: Geburtstagskuchen"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎈" title="Ballon" aria-label="Emoji: Ballon"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎁" title="Verpacktes Geschenk" aria-label="Emoji: Verpacktes Geschenk"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎉" title="Partyknaller" aria-label="Emoji: Partyknaller"> #happybirthdaytome #HereWeGo

@CharlesMartinet if you should see this tweet when you come on Twitter next, could Mario please wish me a happy (belated) birthday? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😃" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎂" title="Geburtstagskuchen" aria-label="Emoji: Geburtstagskuchen"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎈" title="Ballon" aria-label="Emoji: Ballon"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎁" title="Verpacktes Geschenk" aria-label="Emoji: Verpacktes Geschenk"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎉" title="Partyknaller" aria-label="Emoji: Partyknaller"> I would love to have that to add to my autograph collection before I get off from here for a while.

Wanted to retype briefly what I wrote in some other comments if you see this @CharlesMartinet which is I totally forgot about your NDA with Nintendo & I realize if you were to do a shoutout for me, everyone else would want them too, so I apologize & understand about that.

I’ll just be patient and leave it up to you; I do wish we could keep in touch more like we used to before @CharlesMartinet , but I know that you’re a busier man than when we emailed years ago and I’m working on trying to respect that more too. This year marks 10 years...

Since you & I first virtually communicated too @CharlesMartinet, so happy 10th anniversary!! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😃" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔟" title="Taste 10" aria-label="Emoji: Taste 10"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎉" title="Partyknaller" aria-label="Emoji: Partyknaller"> Again, I hope you’re not mad & I miss keeping in touch, I hope to do more online panels or come on here again sometime. Take care. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">

One last thing on this thread: in case we don’t see each other here again on Twitter, etc. for a while, I want to thank you @CharlesMartinet for all you’ve done with being the voice of my all-time favorite character Mario for 30+ (now 35) years, and for liking my Tweets &...

everything all those years ago to nowadays. I sincerely wish you all the best @CharlesMartinet & hope you get to see these messages. Always know that I will be one of yours & Mario’s biggest fans ever. “You da best!!” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍🏼" title="Thumbs up (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up (mittelheller Hautton)"> :0}) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkzoZMgY_-U">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
