Hello there...

I am sitting here reflecting on my day at work. It was a normal, average, steady day, the kinda day where you can sorta go on autopilot, and not worry too much about all of the little things. A nice day... a lovely day. A day that I often have, and am so happy to have at my job. And then that one thing came up... the one thing I hate. I'm not gonna go into detail about it here, because it doesn't really matter what it was... just the fact that "it" happened is enough. It was nothing serious, everything is AOK... but when "it" happens, it is truly so terribly annoying.

And it got me to thinking... about how we can find ourselves completely involved or immersed in something we like (or even love), only to come across that one thing that drives us up the wall. And yes, I know that HATE is such a strong word, but I started to compare this to Star Wars, something I love, and even though I really, really love it, and engage (how ST of me) myself in the world of SW often, there are things about it that make me cringe... things I hate. Like the SE Greedo/Han scene, Threepio's higher, more "chipper" voice in the PT, and alot of the EU stuff (Chewbacca dying, all of the fan-generated canon/continuity brawls) that really switches me off.

I know I'm not alone here, and I know that we all obviously love Star Wars, but what about it (if anything) makes you go crazy? Causes you to seethe like a Sith filled with hate?

Or, simply makes you want to pull your hair out?

Listen here, Star Wars... you know I love ya. Heck, I might even die for ya.

But... sometimes you can really be a scruffy-lookin' nerfherder!!


And quit leaving the toothpaste on the sink!
