Fury of the True Believer

kesseljunkie — Mar 30, 2007 07:17 PM

I am continually stunned speechless by the rank hypocrisy of the world. One thing in particular hit me recently. Carbon credits.

Fatherhood

kesseljunkie — Mar 09, 2007 09:33 PM

It's a Girl! My daughter was born 3 weeks and 3 days ago, and is doing well. So, how to tie this into my first blog after a cruel sleep deprivation exercise known as "fatherhood"...

Star Wars Politics and You

kesseljunkie — Feb 09, 2007 09:58 PM

For all its grandiose themes of Good vs. Evil and Right vs. Wrong, the actual political structure of Star Wars has never been properly really laid out. So, I want to try to put the puzzle together here.

Six Years

kesseljunkie — Feb 06, 2007 07:18 PM

So much can happen in six years. Our attention spans are now stretched so thin that most people barely remember what happened six weeks ago - go on, try to recall the headline that most captured our attention then.

Ay Carumba!

My last blog taught me a real lesson. For some people, an honest opinion that does not line up with theirs is nothing short of heresy.

Book Review: Darth Bane - Path of Destruction

kesseljunkie — Jan 31, 2007 10:32 AM

As spoiler-free as it can possibly be! And as much of a warning as I can possibly give not to read it!

Oh, Grow Up Already

kesseljunkie — Jan 26, 2007 07:12 PM

I had reason to reflect recently on Anakin, and my feelings about his character as a kindred spirit. They have changed, as my feelings about a lot of characters in the films have changed, as I have grown older.

Enough Already

kesseljunkie — Jan 15, 2007 06:17 PM

This weekend, I decided to watch Clerks 2. I have been incredibly forgiving of Kevin Smith because of his Star Wars references - but enough already.

Stop Making Sense

kesseljunkie — Jan 10, 2007 02:17 PM

As I get older, they seem wiser. Alceste. Scrooge. Palpatine.

Elegy for A Sith Apprentice

It's been a while. Have a poem.

The Original Bad Boy of Star Wars

kesseljunkie — Dec 29, 2006 07:14 PM

Han Solo. You know him. You love him. Heck, more than half of you want(ed) to be him.
But what of the truly coolest cucumber in the bunch, the character that really should be the hip focus of fan affection?

A Holiday Lesson

kesseljunkie — Dec 27, 2006 12:35 PM

I know the day is past and the New Year draws closer - and I already made resolutions - but I wanted to recap a little of my Christmas cheer - and lessons.

For the New Year: A New Hope

kesseljunkie — Dec 22, 2006 08:41 AM

New Year's Resolutions! My first blog in months! Pass the Egg Nog!

A New Religion

kesseljunkie — Aug 27, 2006 08:39 PM

I am a man who believes in science. There is inarguable scientific fact in this life. Regardless, this blog will likely get me in trouble with some of you.

Do You?

kesseljunkie — Aug 26, 2006 06:18 AM

Many "old-school" fans whine and moan that the PT just can't match the OT. Do they really feel that way, or is it just the early onset of nostalgic grumpiness, like when our grandfathers complained about how they knew how to make movies way back then?

Old Shoes

kesseljunkie — Aug 16, 2006 07:24 PM

Recently, I have been rediscovering my love of running. One of the natural processes during the course of running is the death of your shoes.

In Defense of Jar Jar

kesseljunkie — Aug 14, 2006 08:02 PM

Go ahead, read it. It's not just about that. All hate mail will be returned with a complimentary bag of cat poop.

Where Do We Go From Here?

kesseljunkie — Aug 10, 2006 07:29 PM

The news out of the UK made me very sad today. I did not make a big, public show of it, but it's there underneath.

Superman vs. Anakin

kesseljunkie — Aug 08, 2006 08:08 PM

No, this is not some silly powers-against-powers, fight-to-the-death, dueling-geek-fanbases blog. This is a blog about the philosophy of the hero.

32 Lessons

kesseljunkie — Aug 07, 2006 07:35 PM

Sometimes, when you get busy, you cut out doing the things that you don't get paid for. But I am back now to pontificate in ways that make me happy once more. and my first blog is about the 32 lessons I learned in the last 12 months.
