A few months ago, my brother and I discussed the fact in a very short time thousands of people around the world will have nothing to live for. For years they have been patiently waiting, discussing, dreaming, yerning, plotting their absence from work, and salivating like a dog for the next Star Wars film. But in a very short time, Mr. Lucas' Star Wars film franchise will be over. There will be no more reason for them to quit the jobs and stand in line for months for a ticket(and the kicker is that the theater isn't even showing Star Wars when it opens).
We discussed coming up with a list of things to do, now that it is over. I don't care if you are a boy or a girl who has invested way too much of their life into a galaxy far far away. Here are some things you might want to give a try...
1. Get back to work.
2. Learn some skills.
3. Sell off all your dolls, whoops I mean action figures.
4. Find a girlfriend (or boyfriend). This might involve talking to members of the opposite gender. If you don't know your gender, try this. Heck, if you are lucky, you might even get married at a fancy wedding.
5. Help fight cancer.
6. Go outside and play in the sprinkler.
7. Get ready for the next big movie series. Which has a great looking website.
8. Convince your parents to get a HD television for their basement so you can watch Star Wars the television series. (Why am I thinking a mix of Felicity and Roswell?) At least it will be better than most reality shows.
9. Go down to your local store and buy some organic foods.
10. Sign a petition to get George Lucas to finish the rest of the series. Or at least start a theme park, but a little more kid friendly than this one.
11. Get out and enjoy some real culture. How 'bout an opera?
12. Realize that there is no hope for you, but be glad you are not a trekkie.
13. Torture your pet.
Any other suggestions from my readers?
