You don't know the Power...

of the Dark Side!!!

 

As some of you may know, I am a gamer. PS2, XBox, hand-helds, I love em. Gaming is how I unwind after a long day. Lately, I have been playing Star Wars:KOTOR for XBox. Sure, there are certain tasks that your character must perform to keep the game moving towards the final battle and the conclusion of the game. Each choice you make determines if you are on the Light Side of the Force or the Dark Side of the Force.

 

As I turned my game of last night and walked upstairs for bed, it got me thinking; Which side of the Force am I on? (Where does this stuff come from?)

 

I came to the conclusion that I am on BOTH sides of the Force and there is no gray area between. Either full-on Dark or full-on Light. Yesterday, I came home from work to help Lisa out of bed because she can sleep in on Tues. and Thurs. I open the door to our room and there she is STANDING, waiting for me. I think it was the second time she has been able to get out of bed on her own. I was shocked. She looked so proud of herself that I don't know who was more excited, her or me. I was all the way to the Light Side. Just beaming with pride. The clouds were opening. Everything was right with the universe.

 

Later that night, we were all at home and I switched to the Dark Side. Everyone needed something. A ride here, this outfit washed, money for this, money for that, take me to Target, can this person sleep over. Half the stuff could have been done themselves. Full-on Dark Side. Give me a flippin' break.

 

That's how I feel now. Giddy as a schoolgirl or angry as a pitbull. No middle ground. Now, some of you might think, What, bi-polar much? Naw, I don't think so. Just the demands of my current life.

 

I wish I could remain on the Light Side more often. But I am easily drawn to the Dark Side. It is not that hard to change.

 

Ironically, for Christmas this year my kids gave me a Darth Vader helmet. :big_grin:

hey Butch:

 

because of my son I have watched all star war movies and I like them. Darthvedar wasn't bad person, he ws very good from heart, but made bad choice to join dark side, we all flip sometime no big deal and getting out of bed was initially difficult for me 2, now we all 3 sleep on floor, now sleeping on bed or floor both have become quite easy for me, though I prefer sleeping on affected side such that I can hug my hubby with right hand
