Shower Thoughts

Saw this on imgur today. Someone made a comment on it
Really? You guys would honestly kill a man to become rich? Hating on Justin Beiber is so cringey

When you have nothing and lose everything you don't have that far to fall.
When have some and lose some it is devastating.
when you have some and keep sliding down the muddy bank, crawling up but slipping down, losing ground every.single.time then a chance to make it all go away and be free for once.
You know that movie where they push a button and get a million dollars but someone dies?
 I'd beat out a damn drum solo.
I do have the tendency to fail to think of future ramifications. Not because I cant, but because I get stuck in the whole "what if" rabbit hole.
I end up just pulling the trigger on the decision and deal with the results as they come.
I would rather be sorry then wonder what might have been.

Inside the supervillians lair with laser sharks and bald henchmen.
"What you see before you Mr.ZomBee" he intones stroking his white cross-eyed cat "are 2 buttons. Press the blue one and your child goes free however 5 million people will die. Press the red....oh
..well..
Ok well the red was kill your child and 5 million people live but..yeah... that's a moot point right now isnt it?"

My Star Wars Theory

   

Hero

   I think Rey is the little sister who was found to be strong in the force. 
 She got more attention then Ben did, which made him jealous and moody and that gave Snooke his edge into Bens soul and used it to turn him to the darkside. Ben doesnt really want to be there though but its all he knows now, he is very powerful and that is all. He cannot even command the kind of respect his grandpa did. He wants to be the big bad, to get what he thinks was kept from him by dear old mom and dad.
    I think Han and Leia think she died in Bens attack. She is gone and that is painful but she is gone and Ben is still alive.They are hanging their hopes on their last hope, bringing Ben back to the Light. That is why they never mention anything like "I wish Jill was here" or "What about the memory of Jaina?" or whatever they named her.

 I think Luke grabbed Rey and tossed her in the Falcon and dropped her off on Jokku with that butterball dude to keep her safe. Maybe her being so strong in the force he figured Ben would come for her if she was with mom and dad, so he had to think her dead too? Maybe this was all done at once, fleeing Kylo and his team that there wasnt time to meet up. So he jacked the Falcon and zoomed off to Jakko. Made a deal and left the Falcon with sluggo as payment for watching the girl. Then he took off to go find the Jedi Temple.
But for right now thats my head cannon.

 The only other tidbit I will also go along with is she is Lukes daughter. Ren is 19 so she was born 11 years after the battle of Endor. Now Jedis are not monks but they usually do not take wives either. however there really werent a whole lot of Jedi hanging around to tell him what was right and what was improper.
He's a big war hero who saved the galaxy and can do really cool parlor tricks. It would be rather farfetched to think he didnt have a date or two. I mean our normal earthly relgious clerics cant keep their hands off of little boys so what a space monk supposed to do?

Oh and I think Snoke is Darth Plagus, the Empererors Sith lord who knew how to manipulate life and death. Just not sure why he has simualr head wounds to Vader. Not identical but damn close.

of course this is all pure speculation for the next 98 weeks,

 not that I have put any thought into this or anything.

**Oh and if youve read through all of this just know that I am pretty sure I am wrong. Now I am pretty sure Rey is a clone of Luke created off of the hand that Vader lopped off on Bespin. This would account for the reemergence of the Skywalker lightsaber as he was holding it said hand when his daddy "disarmed" him.

OK IGNORE ALL OFTHIS SHITE.
I THINK I HAVE IT NOW AND REALLY LIKE THE WAY IT WILL PLAY IF I AM CORRECT.
ahem
Ok so Luke Skywalker has his school of force sensitive kids he has culled from across the galaxy. He found one that was really strong, so strong that when Darth Snoke started messing with Ben Solo he knew he had to get her far and away because if she goes dark LIKE HER GRANDFATHER then the whole mess could start all over again.
Im gonna call it here. Rey is the Granddaughter (or even a clone) of Emperor Palpatine.
The whole Skywalker vs Palpatine thing has been the story since movie 1 but now it is the Skywalker that is on the dark side and the Palpatine on the light.

Sure there are more important things out there to burn braincells on but this makes me happy and in this dismal bleak life you have to grab your joy any way you can so sod off.

B I G

TIL : OK so a light year is how long it takes light to travel in 1 year, As you are aware light is fast like really really fast.
Now our galaxy is huge, like really really big. Just over 100,000 light years across in size. So if something were to have happened on the far side of our galaxy, say a star blows up, way back when humans first popped up in the middle east. Well we would just be seeing it today.
OK so the galaxy is big, really really big. Almost inconceivably big.
Now try and wrap your brain around this.

This picture is of the LQG or the Large Quasar Group
The Large Quasar Group is four billion light years across. The cluster of seventy-four quasars actually breaks the rules of standard astrophysics, since the maximum size of any cosmic structure should be only 1.2 billion light years across. Scientists have absolutely no idea how this huge structure formed, since they had previously only been aware of other clusters of perhaps several hundred million light years across.
Yeah so if something were to happen on one end, like a star blows up, it would take 4 BILLION YEARS for the other side to even know.
Im sure by then they would even care.

So what do you want to go see?

I am a really easy going guy and while I am not an optimist I can usually find the good in just about any movie or any actor. I can find at least one thing good about any movie I have seen.

Some movies make it really hard to do this (I am looking at you Cop Out) but a lot of it stems from who they got to act in the movie.

I try not to be too judgmental because everyone can have a good day or bad day and a good script or a bad one. In fact 2 categories I have , Meh and Like are pretty much the same thing just a slight variant.

This is just a small gathering of actors who I just happen to have strong enough feelings for to make note.
 
 Despise – These actors will cause me to actively avoid a movie.

I.E.  “I’d rather stay home and watch reruns of the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers then see Knight and Day because that Diaz chick is in it”

• Mark Wahlberg
• Jack Black
• Jim Carrey
• Joaquin Phoenix
• Marlon Brando
• Megan Fox
• Cameron Diaz
• Hayden Christensen 
• James Franco
• Zach Galifianakis

Meh* –These actors I can go either way with. ..

I.E. “Well the premise sounds novel and it looks cool” Some of these have been on my "despise" list before but have redeemed themselves one way or another. Im looking at you Sean Penn.

• Kristen Stewart
• Hayden christensen
• Jack Nicholson
• Sean Penn
• Kevin Hart
• Russell Crowe
• Reese Witherspoon
• Leonardo DiCaprio

Like* – If they are in the movie and it sounds good well their involvement is an added bonus. This list would be the largest as most films fall into this category.

• Tom Cruise
• Mel Gibson
• Jennifer Aniston
• Brad Pitt
• Chris Pratt
• Nick Cage
• Sandra Bullock
• Jason Statham
• Bruce Campbell 
• Michael Fassbender

Adore – I will go see a movie just because they are in it. “Let’s go see that new Depp flick”

• Johnny Depp
• George Clooney
• Denzel Washington
• Cary Grant
• Tom Hanks
• Angelina Jolie
• Will Smith
• Liam Neeson
• Harrison Ford
• Hugh Jackman

Blood sucking vermin

I give up in trying to understand you people.

8ish years ago everyone was running around thinking about “CHANGE” and Barack Obama was elected into the White House not because he was the best candidate but because of his color.

It was novel, it was new and it was history making to think that a man of color could be elected to the highest office in the land.

I get it.

I thought it was cool too.

But then his administration began and people flipped out

“He’s horrible!” and “He is a socialist” and “He isn’t even American!” and “He isn’t even Christian!” was proclaimed throughout the land.

However, rather than oh, I don’t know, kick him out of office via the impeachment process,

What did the American populous do?

THEY REELECTED HIM!

Now contrary to what you might think this is not a post about bashing Obama.

My personal view is all politicians are vile and all politicians are liars.

Some get caught like Nixon and Clinton and some don’t like Bush and Reagan.

An honest man in the White House would not last a year. It’s just the system we built.

We vote for the person who sucks the least.

It’s like trying to pick which sword to be impaled with because no matter what you are still getting stabbed.

This is a post bashing the American people.

Right now Donald Trump is in the lead as the Republican candidate.

This dude has already shown that he is a lout, a cretin, a privileged oaf who has no business being in any position of power.

If he were a Walmart Manager no one would want to work for him and he has a chance of becoming president?

I am pretty sure that Hillary is going to make it into office this time because it would be novel and new and history making again.

I am just scared that Trump will get elected because it would be novel too.

I have never considered abandoning my country before until I heard he was the republican front runner.

Do it again

You know, there is the old cliché of the ancient old man lying on his bed.

He has the covers pulled up to his chin and a pained expression on his face

“Oh why!?” he laments

“If only I had it to do over again! I would give my very soul to have my life to do over again! I would do everything so differently!”

Not me though

While I made so many mistakes. Maybe I am not a complete failure but it is so close I can smell its fetid breath (smells like pastrami)

Nope I would not give my soul to do it over again

I don’t need to be there to witness my senior year of high school

Or the time I played the troll in the 3 Billy goats gruff in the 1^st grade

I don’t need to be there for my first kiss or to see Star Wars for the first time.

But I would give my very soul to do my kids life over again.

But to see my kids first step? Yeah in heartbeat.

To be able to read to them a bedtime story again or tickle them into submission?

Dressing up for Halloween or picking out the right valentine for a school mate (Should we get Hello Kitty or Kim Possible?)

Big hugs and little kisses, scared cries and silly giggles, messy shirts and holding little hands

Oh hell yeah.

Please?

Age is just a number

I’ve been silent on here more and more. I don’t think I have lost my muse though, it’s just my brain is not working the way it should. You know how in your computer you have 2 kinds of memory? You have RAM and ROM.

ROM is for your programs. It is your hard drive that holds everything you save. It keeps the machine running.

RAM memory is the things you do when you use it. It is continually changing and updating to what you are currently using and erases everything when you power off.

Well in my brain computer it seems like everything is RAM. I can’t seem to make a memory.

My recall has gone from having an eidetic memory, to the point where I could walk into a memory and see everything in it. I have full recall of everything I ever watched. It was easy to recall this actor was in this movie with this person.

Now it is a struggle. I can’t even recall a movie I watched a couple months ago.

I think it was the ADD medicine I was on a couple of years ago. Scrambled my synapses.

Maybe it is onset Alzheimer’s even? There are times I seem to be able to get confused and I not know where I am on a drive I have made every day for the past 30 years.

I thinks its the continual stress from money woes that just wont go away.

Maybe I am just getting old.

Probably all 3.   um...4
