Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice Started The Rebel Alliance!

So I finished reading The Force Unleashed...I liked it of course...because I'm a huge dork. So I'll give you a quick break down...Darth Vader's secret apprentice was born Galen Marek where he lived with his father (Kento Marek) on the Wookie homeworld of Kashyyyk...then Darth Vader came there to kill Galen's dad since he was a Jedi in hiding - and the order 66 is still in effect to kill all jedi, yeah so right before Vader was gonna strike down Galen's dad his lightsaber is force taken from his hand and Darth Vader turns to see a little boy (4-5ish) and thats Galen...Darth Vader takes the lightsaber back and kills Kento Marek then kills the storm troopers who come in and see Galen...And takes him to his star destroyer to train him in the harsh ways of the sith.

(picture for Funsies!)

Older and a really powerful sith, Galen, codenamed "starkiller" is sent on missions by DV and kills some rogue Jedi's himself...(and is ordered to kill stormtroopers as well so there are no witnesses to his existence) but then the Emperor finds out about him and Darth Vader stabs him in the back through his stomach in front of the emperor...but then he heals Starkiller and sends him on a new mission to organize a resistance to the emperor in order to "distract" him so that Starkiller can eventually assassinate the emperor and "Rule the galaxy" with DV...well now he is torn since he was almost killed by DV and his pilot for his missions (and new crush) Juno Eclipse, was branded a trader and left to die by DV (he saves her though)...but he continues with the mission and pretends to be a good guy, destroys some Empire stuff, saves a younger Leia Organa from capture... and then...when the rebels are gathered...and he finally decides he really wants to be part of the Rebel alliance it turned out that the emperor and DV were just using him all along and that he was just a tool to gather all the resistance leaders in one place and to kill them...Once again he is almost killed by DV...thrown off a cliff but Juno finds him and together they go to the in-construction death star in order to save the rebel leaders...Well he beats DV but doesn't kill him and then saves the rebel leaders by sacrificing himself...Juno flies them away while he becomes "one with the force" and therfore "more powerful than ever before." And also like force blasts the emperor and DV and everyone else around (before he died of course) in order to provide a good distraction/cover for them to fly away.
....FUNSIES...I was bummed he died but of course he had to die to make way for Luke...the rebels looked up his history and used his family crest as the rebel symbol in memory of him. And he was able to remember his name and a bit of his life before he died.

Also, I like this quote from when he was battling one of the Jedi named Shaak Ti. Starkiller is fighting her and he says that the dark side is inexhaustible and this is her response...

"Your strength is prodigious...but that is your own doing. Light, dark - they are just directions. Do not be fooled that you stand on anything other than your own two feet."

Anyway...completely different note - I found this picture...it was on a bumpersticker on facebook...and I thought it was just so fucking hilarious...the caption is..."McDonald's Hits Africa." It really kinda looks like a fat giraffe!



What else what else. I'm nervous to go back to school...even though I'm really excited to go back...I've gotten so dumb! I need to bust out the chemistry book...and I am unfortunately still hopelessly smitten with the same being...despite my resolve not to be...I am obviously functioning though...but back to school will be good for me! So excited to live with friends in the apartment...its going to be BITCHIN'.

On another extremely dorky note...I started reading the Naruto manga online again...I'm such a sucker for the whole good vs evil archetype hero stories...Star Wars, Eragon, Naruto...they're all so rediculously similar and thats why I like them...Eragon and Star Wars similarities are kinda hilarious actually... Jedi Order = Dragon Riders, And Eragon is trained by Brom who was friends with one of the first to betray the Dragon Riders and who is also Eragon's father (this guy wasn't the main bad guy though and is dead)...which of course is like Obi Wan (friend/mentor to Darth Vader) who was Luke's Pa....and then Eragon's uncle is killed just like Luke's aunt and uncle....etc. etc. etc. I stop now. Daily show is almost on...last nights was hilarious...

OMG...so I'm re-editing...seriously...anyone who can NEEDS to watch these episodes of Daily Show and Colbert : they are so funny.... *footage of slack jawed Bill Clinton...at least 30 seconds* "an uncomfortable amount of mouth breathing time." - Jon Stewart

Here lemme see if this works. This is from last night...not what I just quoted...Funsies! how cool is that, that I can embed that video onto my blog! I could maybe copy the html layout and embed other videos that don't already have the code for me...cool!

Hayley's New [Hopeful] Daily Regiment

I thought of a list of 6 things I should do everyday but since I'll know I'll never do all of them each day I decided I should at least do 5 of the 6 and to not skip one thing two days in a row.

- One "Hard" Exercise (jogging, etc..)
- One "Easy" Exercise (walk w/ mom, situps and pushups, etc....)
- One Helpful House Chore
- One Hour (at least) Organizing my life (cleaning, sorting out what to take back to school, etc...)
- One Hour (at least) Reading Something
- One Hour (at least) Doing stuff for my "Business" (making cards, taking pictures, etc...)

So far today I went jogging (and it kicked my ass) and did the dishes...3 more. Perhaps I'll shave soon...my leg hair is like over an inch long now....

Pictures I forgot


so I've forgotten quite a few pictures I've taken...like this one...it looks like the water is a monster about to eat kate!

so anyway I'm working on having my domain name link right to the smugmug site...but for now I'd like to show you the cool way you can see/buy my pictures...its a really cool site...I have to pay $150 a year but basically i set my own prices and make money when people make purchases...and I can advertise by maybe having my stuff in the museum, some shops downtown and doing the saturday market...I am really excited about it.

anyway here. pictures (there is another gallery too...I just linked to the first one.)

Arts and Crafts Festival


So I think that if I actually paid for all of my supplies (instead of paying for part and my mom and grandma paid a lot) that I would come close to breaking even...With those large prints I'm not sure that I would have...But you see I still have a lot of stock...so that's cool. Well. I just need to find a way to get rid of that stock. Thinking maybe Farmer's Market...and well I have family too who wanna buy stuff. But I want to keep selling and making stuff...The festival kind of boosted my confidence...but I need to get pictures from other places than just Coupeville. Anyway here's a p

I'm discovering that if I really want to do this I need to make my cost of supplies cheaper...I found a website that sells photo mattes for 2 bucks instead of what I've been paying 3-5 and if I get my prints at Costco or Smugmug the 4x6 prints cost the same but 8x10's are 2 bucks instead of 5 ... and 11x14's for 6 bucks instead of 15... 20x30's 10 bucks instead of 30...etc. ...yea...shoulda been a little bit smarter 'bout that.

Thats all I feel like putting up. I bes watchin' scrubs.

Sharkwater

Sharkwater...its a pretty good documentary...its about how sharks are becoming endangered from illegal shark fin fishing...and how absolutely AWFUL and wasteful and corrupted the shark finning industry is.

The people in it are pretty bad ass...the main camera guy (who is pretty attractive) joins up with a renegade conservation boat....that sinks or rams illegal fishing boats...and they got in trouble with costa rica for shooting water guns at an illegal shark finning boat...and because the government is payed off by the shark fin mafia (yea that sounds ridiculous). it didn't matter that the other boat was illegal...but instead of going to court they filmed the private docks of the mafia and then booked it for international waters...

great i was already depressed tonight and this is just awful...they just cut the fins off and throw the shark body back alive still...and they just writhe and slowly die....

"The world's shark population is estimated to have declined by 90%"

people are just stupid. environmentalism isn't just to protect the environment its to protect us too...if you already are a self absorbed bastard at least look at it that way...I already knew this fact but they mentioned that without sharks to control fish populations that feed on plankton...plankton will decline which produces 70% of our oxygen.

Oh well...at least if we fuck up the planet we'll destroy ourselves...life will always exist on earth...it'll be just different...and if we wipe out everything as we know it at least it will be better for future and surviving life forms.
