Star Wars, a Poem

S is for Saga, and quite a wondrous one
T is for Thrilling action...its quite a bit of fun
A is for Alderaan, millions of voices silenced
R is for Revenge, oh those Sith and their violence

W is for Wookiees, brave and standing tall
A is for Alliance, to restore liberty to all
R is for the Republic, the model of civilization, and
S is for Such Special memories, so grand

On the subject of Aluminum Falcons

This clip from Robot Chicken is hilarious. Its a well known show using action figures and stop motion film-making. I bring it up because I'm in the process of cooking up a stop motion film of my own, though not related to star wars. I'll keep my readers updated as it progresses. Meanwhile, enjoy this video

Palpatine's lesser known works

Anyone who's talked to me for more than 3 seconds knows I'm a star wars geek, and damn proud of it. Star Wars Mega geeks like myself know that palpatine penned a Darkside Compendium, with his thoughts on The Force, ruling a galaxy, and being a genocidal dick. I present to you his lesser known works, just discovered in a hidden chamber of his palace on Coruscant, thought to be written in his frat days...


PALPATINE'S PICK-UP LINES

"I'm gonna ride you like a tauntaun"
"im gonna blow you like the death star"
"I may look like an Ewok, but I'm all Wookiee where it counts"
"Honey, you've been looking for love in Alderaan places!"
This ones for the ladies: "Is that a lightsabre in your pants, cuz I wanna feel your Force!"
"Ive got a podracer in my pants, can you find it?"
"Date, or date not - there is no 'let's just friends be'"
"I'm gonna make you scream like Chewbacca"
"No, that's not a lightsaber in my pocket..."
"They made a new color light saber called flesh...wanna see?"
"Bend over and show me your dark side"
"Just wait til you try MY blue milk"
"I'm gonna warm you up like Mustafar"
"Lets do it Ewok style"
"They don't call me VADER'S FIST for nothing"

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons.
It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

I hate parties. I really do. Just a bunch of random noise, silly dancing and people i'd rather not make meaningless small talk with. I especially hate holiday parties. I'm just not the cheerful type. Does that make me a Grinch? yes? so what. Also, I hate carolers. Most of them can't sing anyway. And whats with them randomly coming to your doorstep? Thats just not cool. My home is a sanctuary. I don't need these idiots refusing to understand the concept of boundries.

All that out of the way, I have absolutely no problem with the holidays themselves. I'm an athiest, so I don't really care about the religious aspects. The gifts are nice,, but I feel that people have a tendency to focus a bit too much on the "free stuff" angle. What this time of year should be about is love. The closeness of people important to you. Family, friends, that special someone. These holidays are about caring.
I'd like to recommend that everyone one do at least one charitable act this year. Donate something, be it money, old clothes, or even just a bit of your time. Your contribution may just make a strangers holiday...and your own.

This song is stuck in my head

wait another minute
Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me
I'm alive and still kicking
What you see I can't see and maybe you'll think before you speak

I'm alive,
For you I'm awake
Because of you I'm alive
Told you I'm awake,
Swallowing you

Take another second
Turn your back on me
and make believe that you're always happy
It's safe to say you're never alive
A big part of you has died and by the way,
I hope you're satisfied

I'm alive,
For you I'm awake
Because of you I'm alive
Told you I'm awake,
Swallowing you

I'm alive,
For you I'm awake
Because of you I'm alive
Told you I'm awake,

tearing it back, unveiling me
taking a step back so i can breathe
hear the silence about to break
fear resistance when I'm awake

tearing it back, unveiling me
taking a step back so i can breathe
hear the silence about to break
fear resistance when I'm awake

OH YEAH

AH YEAH

I'm alive,
For you I'm awake
Because of you I'm alive
Told you I'm awake,
Swallowing you

I'm alive,
For you I'm awake
Because of you I'm alive
Told you I'm awake,
Swallowing you
