Well the force is obviously all over the planet, and unless you live under a rock you can't miss all the Star Wars hype. Honestly I do not mind it one bit, I have bought stuff for Tegwyn and it kicks ass. I have let him watch episodes 1, 4, 5, and 6. I figure this weekend we will watch episode 2 together, It is cool to sit and explain who is who, and what will happen to each of the characters. So ya that is my speal on the empire known as Lucas.
I was thinking the other day about this guy a long time ago when I was about 21, him and his buddy were at this party I was at. Just like my wife I have this brutal ability to get every kook in a 10 meter radius to slowly turn and look at me then come over to where I am and start talking about the stupidest shit. So I was minding my own talking to one of my buddies when these two jerk offs came over and started talking about the dumbest shit. They started off with their idea of an icebreaker, I believe it was one of those racist jokes. Then they moved on to brag about how they kicked ass in a fight earlier(with no conception of the personal space bubble). I understand these guys were just looking to make friends at the party, but holy crap. Now these guys were only about 30-33, and the way they handled themselves is not what made me remember them. It was only one of the things that they said to me that made me promise myself from that day on I would not ever become like them. They said that they wished they could go back to when they were younger, this was no out of the ordinary thought. Sometimes people go I wish I was a kid again, but these guys really wanted to be young again. The one guy sounded so desperate in saying it to me, like he thought I had a Delorian parked outside. It was sad, and it stuck with me big time. I am happy, no felicitous about my life. I always make sure to not regret my past, sure some things happen but we all have a dark period. The past is the past.
Ok, I recommend something from the old part of the collection. It is by Matt Johnson's band, The The. Now I have been telling my buddy Sheldon, probably since the day I met him about 8 years ago that I thought Matt Johnson was an amazing songwriter. I recommend Mind Bomb by The The. This was an album that made me change allot as a kid. This is a solid listening album that says things that will make you go 'ya, I have felt like that before,' or 'Holy shit that is so true.'
Anyway it is an album that if you put in your collection, it will stand the test of time.

So that explains the long silences and drooling when you talk.
