Day 25
Early am
I bought 2 tickets on April 23rd for the May 20th 7:00pm showing of STAR WARS III. Opening week tickets, this is going to be a great audience! Who holds the other ticket, is a mystery so far. I was thinking about my friend Andreas, but he gave, by far, the blandest response to the news. I really thought he was a STAR WARS fan. Taking someone from school is out. The majority hasn’t even seen the first trilogy (IV, V, VI), and even less know there was even a new one coming out. My Best friend Hannah was never really into STAR WARS, she just liked episode II because of Hayden Christensen, but I see her point. Then I thought of (or I should say "mom thought of") Elizabeth or Bruce. They are on the list for sure. I gave Bruce a TXT MSG about it but haven't heard back yet. We will see. I went to Best Buy today (5-24-05) and bought a copy of STARWARS episode II on DVD for my collection, and watched it. One of my favorite extras is a featurette with Natalie Portman exclaiming how "young Anakin has grown up into this very hansom Hayden Christensen". I just about split a gut.
After sleep
I am just beginning to realize the enormity that is the plot in STAR WARS. It astounds me how one man, a politician no less, was able to take over through manipulation, and I'm not talking about Darth Vader. Poor Anakin was just caught in the middle, being powerful to begin with then skillfully turned to follow the one man that had brought about the death and suffering of every one he loved.
After a morning of Eastern Medicine
The force is a lot like Chi, healing energy; it is like Yin and Yang, Light and Dark. "Feel the force moving through you.” The "Dark" side is in more of a sense or evil, Active oriented, Fire driven, and Power hungry and not so much the "darkness" associated with night. The dirk side is Yang and the good side is yin. You must have balance. You could not have one with out the other and you can't have something purely one side or the other. There are flaws in the Jedi’s Ideals in that aspect.
The rule about love: They strive for unconditional love, which in turn balances the hate in the world, but you are not allowed to fall in love. Why? You would think it is essential, especially because the # of Jedi are steadily decreasing even more so because of oncoming war. I guess it is the other en of the scale that worries them. There would have to be an equal and opposite push on the other side of the force, something bad, such as: Love is making life, the equal and opposite push would be Death in order to balance out the equation. Like in the Matrix: Balancing out the equation by adding an equal and opposite force that is smith because of the phenomenon that is Neo OR is it that Neo is there to balance out the Smith in the equation? I wonder if Anakin has an equal and opposite force out there and who are they? Maybe he himself is his other half, both sides inside himself. Anakin vs. Darth Vader. It's not as clear or clean-cut lines of good/evil equal and opposite forces in star wars but it is more or less expressed in the 2 different sides of the force.
