the force

Darth Vader was my favorite superhero growing up. He was actually probably tied with Superman. And Bazooka from GI Joe.

Anyway, I was having a conversation about the new Star Wars today. This guy was telling me about how it shows how Anakin switches over to the dark side. I said how I would join the dark side if given the chance. Everyone laughed but I was totally serious. I've tried several times but something keeps holding me back...

So as I was walking home I stopped to flip through some pirated dvds being sold on the side of the street. As I was going through the piles of Korean soft-core porn I caught a glimps of Star Wars III, so I bought it. So all you people bragging about being the first to watch Star Wars in the theaters, well fuck you, I own it.

It was okay. I actually never saw the second Star Wars but I picked up on the plot pretty quickly. I don't like Luke even as a baby. And the Emperor pisses me off too. If I were on the dark side I'd run it the right way. Darth Vader is still my hero. Except in that moment of weakness when he saves his son. Loser.

I'm not sure about the whole political aspect. Is John Kerry Obi Wan? Or Yoda? And if Anakin is supposed to be bushie where's the lesson there? That in twenty years when Jenna tries to take him over he'll all of the sudden turn good? That's not a good story. And anyway, I always figured Lucas as a closet Republican. Or at least someone with a strong uniform fetish.

I went to bed at 5 am this morning and woke up at noon when my Ayi came to clean. I'm a little tired. I joined a gym and have to wake up and work out tomorrow. I'm excited. I got a free facial for signing up.
