Okay Good. I’ve got bad news, I’ve been identifying with Darth Vader. I was watching the Star Wars prequel trilogy the last few days and I’ve been enjoying it. So there ya go. I think they’re pretty good films! You see Jar Jar Binks is so annoying as to get us really angry and turned off such that we Identify With Anakin While He Turns To The Dark Side. They’re LAYERED movies! I’ve seen these films a few times before but I’m paying slightly more attention this time. I still don’t like the pre-amble for any of these three films. For at least two of the three, the text that appears in the beginning that sets up the plot for the film, although it presumably is simple enough that a children can understand it, I’m left thinking WHA? HUH? I DON’T GET IT. THESE 3 PARAGRAPHS CONFUSE ME. I DUNNO WHY BUT MOST OF THESE WORDS MAKE NO SENSE TOGETHER. MIGHT JUST BE THE ANGLE THEY’RE AT. CONFUSING ANGLE. WHY. Maybe my problem is it’s cause there’s so much pressure to read it while it’s passing by. I gotta read it before it leaves the screen and I’m panicking because I don’t operate well under pressure! Maybe cause the plot is always confusing. THE SENATE IS DOIN SOMETHING. CHANCELLOR UP TO NO GOOD. SEPERATIST SOLAR SYSTEMS OR SOMETHIN. YOU’LL SEE. I guess my reading comprehension is POOR.
Anyway. They’re good films though. Quite the spectacle! I can get into this! I really liked Episode One: The Phantom Menace. WHO is the Phantom Menace. I have several guesses. The truth is there might be multiple phantom menaces. No, the title is pretty clear there’s a singular Phantom Menace. Oh okay. Anyway. What else is up. Am I committed to binge watching All Of Star Wars after I finish Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith? No I don’t think so. I could stop whenever I want! Do I want to stop then? I got nothing better to watch! Sure, there are other things to watch on the TV. STRANGER Things perhaps. After my show on Saturday I promise to start working on music again. To myself. You can accept that promise if you want. But it’s really a self promising. Music will really only be for myself, too! You won’t get much out of it for now! You won’t even be able to listen to it for who-knows-how-long/ever! Anyway. Softcorn Porn called Jedi Nights. Softcorn? Yeah like when the band Korn Goes Acoustic. Anyway. I’m still inadequately fucking around for parts of 2-3 songs out of the 9 I’m on for my SOR show. Just hopefully barely making sense musically are the notes I’m playing for those 2-3 bits of songs. But ALL IN ALL I feel comfortable with how much prepared I am for the show. The amount I’m prepared is to be Barely HOLDING MY OWN! That’s GOOD ENOUGH I GUESS.
Wow. I identified with Darth Vader in Episode I because I am the same height as a nine year old. What more do you want from me. Anyway. I don’t see myself Going Towards The Dark Side. I don’t WANT to be evil. Get off my back about it! Just use the force. Listen to Yoda. Pretty simple stuff. How come Yoda has had thousands of students but none of them adopt his way of speaking. He speaks in a very specific sentence structure, and I assume he’s taken on lots of PERSONAL MENTORSHIPS, and I’m pretty sure all of them Talk Unlike Him But Like Everyone Else. Seems like if I was mentored by Master Yoda I’d come out of it Speaking Like Him. If he was really my Main Master for the long run. Talk Like Him I Would. Otherwise how deep is this apprenticeship really! Anyway. I dunno. Halfway through the entry. Halfway through my life, maybe. Probably! Bought new jeans online. For some reason my jeans keep ripping in the crotch area. The bottom/back of the crotch area. Takes about 3-5 months but it’s inevitable! Same with socks. Takes about 6-8 weeks for socks! But a sock’ll tear in the toe area at some point, you can bet on it! You can bet on anything! It’s encouraged! Not sure how I feel about that. I’m all for personal freedoms but it seems like not the best use of your time and/or resources!
Whatever. What were the odds Michael Complains About His Clothes Ripping. 80:1? WHO WON BIG MONEY ON THAT? Why is that something people do. Anyway maybe I should be identifying with The Incredible Hulk. Off the top of my head His Clothes Rip Too. Rest In Pieces, The Incredible Hulk’s Clothes. They’re dead cause they’re broken. Tattered. No longer useful as clothing. Anyway. How are there THIS MANY aliens in Star Wars. LOOK in real life Humans would be shocked to find out ONE Kind Of Aliens! In Star Wars there’s, what, TENS OF THOUSANDS kinds of aliens? Hundreds of thousands? Already thousands SOLAR SYSTEMS populated. Exponentially more aliens you’d think. I dunno. What’s the ratio of Pretty Much Human Aliens to Weird Lookin’ Aliens. 1:1? 2:1? 1:2? I HAVEN’T PAID ATTENTION ENOUGH. Anyway. I remember seeing Star Wars IV re-released in theaters as a kid as well as The Exorcist re-released in theaters. Both were fun experiences! Any other films re-released in theaters Michael? HMM. ISN’T TWO ENOUGH FOR YOU? I guess to make sure I’m not forgetting anything I have to Browse A List Of Every Movie Ever Made. Meh. Or find a list of Every Movie That’s Ever Been Ever Popularly Re-released. That’s a fraction of a fraction! YEAH.
OKAY. Not Sure what t-shirt to wear to my show on Saturday. That’s a tough one. HMM. I don’t wanna wear my Rolling Stones t-shirt. We’re doing a Rolling Stones show! PER MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WOULD BE LAME. Anyway. The good news is I’ll probably stand in the back corner again so no one will be able to see me either way. They’ll be none the wiser that I’m even there! They’ll know 2-3 times over the course of the 14 songs that Something Sounds Off but they won’t be able to quite put their finger on it! Sure they will. Guitar. People know what a guitar sounds like. One of the guitars will sound off. Oh Okay Good. Anyway. When pressed to choose between Star Wars and Star Trek, I’d always identify more with Star Wars content but Star Trek fans. Star Wars is a little more engaging but Star Trek fans are smarter. They’re NERDS LIKE ME. Per my understanding. Trek is a nerdy word! Let’s go on a, “Trek.” Only a nerd would say that! And I like it. Anyway. There’s a Wilco album called Star Wars released roughly 2015. Seems like a real choice to use that title. Really gotta wonder what Wilco was going for. It’s not ABOUT Star Wars. Unless it’s in the subtext. I dunno. Is it possible to read into the supertext of something. My guess is No I Don’t Think So. Alright. I’ll see ya later.
