yeah… that’s how the day started. fortunately enough, as the day moseyed on, it became increasingly better. which is more than i can say about last night.
alex was having issues with his math homework and i made an effort not to lose my temper or be impatient. that, sad to say, isn’t what ended up happening. i did all the things which make me a horrible teacher, but even more detestable, it made me detestable dad. i was disrespectful with my behavior and emotions. i did apologize to him today, but that doesn’t make what i did excusable.
but let’s talk about what made the day better. there were many discussions about star wars, one of my favorite topics. i just watched force awakens for the tenth time the other night and i’m not ashamed to admit that it’s better than jedi. so the topic was rey and her ability to defeat kylo in a light saber clash on starkiller base. it’s my belief that she’s going to be very dangerous. i submit that she had tapped into the dark side of the force which allowed her emotions to be her strength. and we all know what happens when you try to walk that razor thing edge between the light and dark sides of the force. the only jedi that was able to effectively navigate such a precipice was luke. maybe rey will expose herself to be just as powerful as luke, but i would shocked if that were the case.
another topic of debate were the first three in the series, episode 1-3. god. i.cannot.even.
what a steaming pile of manure those three were. if anything, the third was probably the better of them, but still. you can dress a pile of shit in lipstick and yoga pants, but it’s not going to change a thing.
another quick little blurb since i’m still preparing for d&d tomorrow. i cannot wait to tpk!
