Somewhat Relevant Musings and Commentary

A collection of musings on various things from, college, relationships, Star Wars, friendships, God, and whatever else I think of. Sometimes relevant to the world at large, most of the time relevant only to those with a love of the irrational. Or people really interested in a certain point of view.

My Vices

I was at the store tonight, and I became curiously aware of a couple vices I possess. First of all, I had gone to buy some items for my upcoming trip to Japan. Unfortunately for me, I passed the Star Wars toy aisle, and proceeded to spend about 45 minutes wandering the Decorah Wal-Mart (shudder) debating whether to buy a Darth Vader action figure, an Anakin/Luke Skywalker lightsaber, or save it and buy a Revenge of the Sith t-shirt online. I also debated buying Pulp Fiction, but that's beyond the point. Oh yes, I also debated purchasing a Star Wars camp chair. Needless to say, I ended up not buying a dang thing related to Star Wars, but that's not the point. The point is, I have a vice for Star Wars. Which shouldn't come as a big surprise, but it made itself very clear tonight. Seriously, I like, have a 6th sense, in that I can pick out whenever anyone talks about anything from that galaxy far far away. Is that a good thing? Probably not, but it happens. Okay, so I'm going to make a Star Wars purchase this summer, in accordance with my vice. I'll leave it a question to the readers. I'll list them off, and drop me an e-mail at anxwing10@gmail.com, and tell me what you think sounds best.

1- A Master Replicas lightsaber (preferably Obi-Wan or ROTJ Luke Skywalker)
2- Authentic Obi-Wan Kenobi leather Jedi boots
3- An X-Wing helmet
4- Star Wars Trivial Pursuit Saga Edition

So, that's my Star Wars vice. The other vice I noticed tonight was for peanut butter. I stopped at the Whippy Dip, the local ice cream joint here in Decorah, and I just felt compelled to get a peanut butter cup blizzard thing. The thing is, that's probably the only flavor of blizzard I've gotten in the past 6 or so years. I'm not going to lie, I have a thing for practically anything having to do with Reese's peanut butter cups. They used to make Reese's peanut butter, and it was like, the best peanut butter ever. Then those losers discontinued it. Idiots. I just found the Reese's website. Man, it's cool. I should probably get to bed. Although, I have one other thing to discuss. I'm disappointed, because I'm not sure I will be able to achieve my goal of seeing Revenge of the Sith at least 11 times in the theater. This trip to Japan and my upcoming trip to New York is severely cutting down the time I have to go to the movie. And the lack of income right now is complicating the issue of purchasing tickets. So, that grieves me, but I"ll give it my best shot. If you haven't seen the film yet, I highly highly highly recommend it. If you ever want to see it with someone, drop me a line, I'd be glad to go.
