"He'll Getcha!"

Tuesday, February 26

So I'm not big into kids right now. They're mostly a huge nuisance - especially the younger ones. They haven't figured out their mouths yet (things go in that should stay out, and things come out that should stay in...), they make lots of noise - indiscriminate noise, they ruin diapers, they sleep during the day and make indiscriminate noise at night, and if they're not making indiscriminate noise, they're probably doing something they shouldn't, which demands your immediate attention (a worse distraction than the noise)... But, when I ran across this I became MUCH more forgiving.

I'm a Star Wars fan. I've always loved the movies, especially the first 3. The story line was great - "A long time ago..." The idea of lightsabers and the mind-boggling scale of the starships was well-captured and very epic. I remember the wonder and excitement of seeing the movies for the first time. Until today, it's been very much the same. Then I visited youtube.com and saw this video - I don't think I'll ever look at those movies the same again!

Every time I watch this I forget what a nuisance kids are. I even start to think it would be cool to have one. Sure, I had to listen to it three times to figure out what 'the siney guy' meant, and 'the light-up' swords have names; but in the end, I couldn't have said it better myself - 'It's an exciting movie.'
