I’ve inserted this from my wiki which I was morphing into a blog

I read a book in one sitting at Barnes and Noble: 9 Things Every Graduate Must Do (that link sells it under a slightly different title). This book is frankly religious, thank you, but even besides (though I would argue naturally because of) this, it is excellent. Succinct but not lacking detail, pithy, right on target, illuminative, compelling. Probably a desperately needed read for every 3rd person you know A sentence that made me gasp, reel, and made me have to explain to a bemused nearby person that I was having an epiphany: “Successfull people go against the odds if the odds go against doing what is right.” Why does this strike me so? I am an actor. I know this deep inside. Nothing inside or outside of me except the most profound apathy can remove this fact (and has in times fading). It is right that I should be an actor: I know this. This irrefutable and overruling fact has emerged from the ashes of forgotten imaginations (the first of the “9 Things”). It is worthy of much more writing (which I have done and I think I ought to post here). Does this mean I will stop every other thing of my life and only be an actor? No. It means that I’m adding it. Of course I already have been adding it. This sentence just reinforces that I am adding it. Trying to be an actor would be going against the odds of failing at it. Well, good then, alright then. And I might fall down many times. Japanese Proverb: Fall down six times, get up seven (the 8th thing).

Confessions: I must buy and read a book entitled Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters. I started reading it and found it extremely compelling. To distill precisely the virtues and ills inherent in the films is something I’ve wanted to do for another project. Problematically, that it is a comparative work isn’t clear: people of slipshod thinking would take it as integrative and start referring to themselves as Jedi Christians. Bad idea. If media and religion marry, let’s at least stay clear that they are different people. Similar titles: the Tao of Star Wars, the.. Dhamra? of Star Wars, Philosophy and Star Wars. I must also read a work entitled Philosophy and the Matrix.

But first I will finish a scriptural survey of my own religion (really.. I’ve never read the Bible through) and a fairly detailed survey of the world’s most prominent religions/philosophies.
