There was a time where I was going to do it a year to the day of the original post but that came and went as well. And so I figured, why bother. what do I have to say on SG. Something new and exciting that I have not posted on Twitter or my facebook page?
Not really...things happen, done stuff, moved on...friends come and go or have kids...the usual.
I did ponder this though with a SG member. 2010 is a big year, hell May is a big Anniversary Year to me. I started thinking about this last year and when I heard about Celebration V, i was like YES!!! I need to celebrate, I even think I posted the thread in the SW group in January.
I wanted to...no, had to post this Today before Midnight which will now be misse . For those who dont know me . I warn you now...THIS IS SOOO STAR WARS GEEK that you might as well not even read it...
Hell I'll even through in this shot, see...she's even wearing an Empire Tee
I collected every Empire figure, every item I could. Sadly I didnt keep them and really loathe the fact that I lost a vintage Empire Style A poster which I am hunting for now. I also want to get some vintage carded figures too. Had Star Wars Sheets, never had Empire...Will be getting an Empire LunchBox(as a child I couldnt have one by then). Did have the Darth Vader collector case. I received that from the nurses at my hospital when I came off the respirator...yes...yes...I breathed and still breathe like Vader. Hell when i go to my room its my meditation chamber. And his breathing is my ringtone on me phone.
R2D2 is the name of every laptop I owned. Hasn't failed me yet and has saved the day on quite an occasion.
The Geek in me has seen Star Wars up and down....I saw the damn Holiday Special which did introduce Fett and I do have it on dvd...somewhere... I see the resurgence and the celeb fan come latelys...and the introduction of better action figures and collectibles(I mean I can have my own WAMPA RUG or TAUNTAUN sleeping bag) Not too mention if I want toast, i can have Vader toast too. I quote Empire in my everyday life. I am getting an Empire Tattoo, sooner than later hopefully. And to some I am a lone nut by being excited all week. But its special to me...it helped shaped me into the warped individual I am today which is probably why I love Military and the bad guys so much too... Decepticons anyone? or Cobra?
So I Say Thank You The Maker(George Lucas) for giving us probably the best film in the saga. Actually No it is the BEST film in the Saga. Thank You to Irvin Kershner for directing it(hence no George Involvement and probably why its soo good). Thank you to my dad for taking a little kid to see it. And to the HardCore Star WARS FANS out THERE WHO CONTINUE to keep Star WARS in the PUBLIC EYE(Good and Bad) and who still buy the stuff that has that logo on it.
Thank You Yoda for your Words of Wisdom(Do or Do Not, there is No try) and of Course "Size Matters not."
And to the ones who've stuck around and read this...thank you. Its after May 21st and It took me way longer to write this than I wanted. But i wanted to share this.
