UPDATE: This blog appeared on starwars.com for two weeks, gathering several great comments, before it was blocked by asshole kissing Dark Moose.... if he really wants to read a blog that's about him, he should scroll down one blog.....
The whining child on the playground, the cool kid who rats out the nerd for cutting class, the religious right, the activist, the researcher, the government agency, the Harper Valley PTA... but wait, I digress...Well, I do have point.
There's always someone around who can't stand to see anyone having too much fun. Is it malice? Is it jealousy? Is it just plain old-fashioned grumpiness?
Or is it the deep-rooted psychological need to belong. The "If I can't play then no one can?"
In our little world we have it. It's the person who calls you a "geek" for wearing a Star Wars t-shirt.
Or the person who drives by the theatre while you're standing in line to see The Empire Strikes Back and yells out the window, "Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father!"
It's the lady in the fabric store that laughs out loud when you say you're sewing a Princess Leia costume or a Jedi cloak.
And it's the librarian who looks down her nose when you complain there's not very many Star Wars books in the collection.
Or it's the person who doesn't like what you're reading or writing.
Star Wars is meant to be fun. And people who can't stand to watch others have fun should just loosen up and enjoy the moment. It may not come around again.
Or else, go have themselves memorialized in some fashion, since they feel they are so superior to the rest of us. Perhaps a statue, or a nice commemorative portrait or a clock. I wouldn't buy it, but HEY! You never know...
And that be all....
PS: Candace is the big sister on Phineas and Ferb, whose mission in life is to bust her brothers for whatever fun they're having in the back yard...
