"Do or do not, there is no try" -Yoda

A very wise, old, green Lannik Jedi once told me about the importance of using the force for good, not evil.  I being Luke was The New Hope.  And the last…  So when the Empire struck back what was a young boy supposed to do but watch Star Wars and learn how to deflect laser shots with a light saber. Star Wars is more like a religion. Sure I read as a kid, but that was boring. Star Wars kept me entertained and taught me some very important values that everyone should include in their daily lives. “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” –Yoda. You can pretty much live your life with the wise teachings of Star Wars. I believe that it helped mold me into the Jedi I am today. “A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” –Yoda. Man, you can pretty much smell the knowledge. Think of this, the U.S. had the knowledge of a nuclear bomb. We blew up Hiroshima with it. If we would have just listened to Yoda, millions of people would be alive today. “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.” –Han Solo. Han Solo everyone, and original bad @$$. He’s no Jedi but he still knows how to get a job done. Like Batman. He’s an inspiration to us all. So, I leave you with this, think like a Jedi today. Put a little Star Wars in your life.

The Internet

So, I've been assigned a job. A job to express and explore my feelings of the internet.  The internet. The web. Online. We call it many things, but its sole purpose is to find ourselves and others, along with information on one large interconnected universe.  I once heard while driving home one day, a song. It said "If all are one, and one are all. To be a rock, and not to roll". That is the internet to a 'T'. Or an 'S'. The internet is like no other being, its not bound by pages, ink nor publishers. It is only what it is and thats how it is.  The dangers of the internet are profound. People have devoted their life to exploring the outer relms of the world wide web.  Some people take their lives, some people have no life. Is this a sacrifice to the all mighty internet god you may ask? I don't know, I'm not god.
