The Next Star Wars Films Will Never Be Cannon



                                                                          NEVER.
Disney wrote its own movies. 

The next Star Wars films will be nothing more than high budget fan fiction that didn't have to debut on YouTube. 

"But Ivan, George Lucas is still consulting for it!"

Ya... but if you watch any recent interviews with George Lucas, he never answers questions about the movies directly. 

PROBABLY because he doesn't endorse them... because he doesn't like them... because they aren't using his ideas, and because THIS ISN'T REAL STAR WARS AND IT WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE CANNON.

Even the storm troopers aren't real storm troopers! They have smiles on their helmets! That't not scary! That's not dark! Storm troopers are supposed to reflect the strength and unmerciful power of the empire! Not smile at you from across a sea of blaster rounds and make you feel like the freshly cauterized hole in your chest is OK. 

SCREW YOU MICKEY MOUSE.

Like something out of hunger games. Since when does Star Wars need to draw from other pop culture pieces? Even Family Guy got the storm trooper faces right!

The holiday special is more cannon than this crap!
AND I LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF MEETING CHEWEY'S FAMILY, DON'T YOU HATE ON MALLATOBUCK AND LUMPAWARRUMP CUZ THEY AIGHT. 

The new movies are so far from the cannon that they aren't even Expanded Universe... they had to be given their own category 'Legends', because names that reference poop aren't family friendly language.

Thanks Disney.
On another note, have a look at the storm troopers right now, in the second released trailer for episode 7.


Be sure to pet my wolf pet to the right of this post, and leave me more reasons why the next Star Wars films ARE NOT REAL STAR WARS. The more we talk about this, the sooner we can go back to a normal lives.

Paying For A Job

Sounds like something out of a Spongebob episode right?
                   "When I started working at the Krusty Krab, I had to pay 8 dollars an hour! :D"
This is how I feel being a college student.

I am unquestionably fortunate to have a family that is paying for my education, but as the years go by, I feel like they are not paying for the results that they are expecting. I started in a community college, and after 2 years I transferred to a state school. When I got to the state school I had no guidance from a counselor on which classes to take and when. I am in my senior year and to graduate on time I am forced to take 2 senior level classes, and 3 freshman level classes, and 2 freshman labs.

                                                       Why?
I am in the final semester... Let me take my end game classes and ill be on my way!

                                 "Nah, you have to take these courses or you wont earn your degree."
                                           
   But... I'm a business major... what is Life Science and a science without a lab going to do for me?

                                  "Nah, you have to take these."

                      But... shouldn't you be showing me what jobs I should be applying for?

"Nah, Life Science is more important. You can figure that out after you graduate, so you can waste more time, but not on our time."

I take 5 classes and 2 labs. thats 17 credits this semester. I live in an apartment with utilities to pay. On top of which I have a car with monthly insurance payments.

I have maybe 20 hours a week to allocate to working, and I only get 11 dollars an hour at the Krusty Krab. (still more than good ole' Squarepants though...)

I could be taking the 2 classes that actually matter at this point, and working 30 hours a week, but instead I am spending precious time being retaught the various stages in cell cycles by a TA that doesn't care enough to wear anything other than jeans and a fitted T-shirt to the lab session. This guy is practically Larry the Lobster with that bling-bling arab-money mentality.

On top of all this, zero hours of all semesters were reserved for career guidance. Oh, there is a career services in my university, but they are only available during day class hours... you know, when I'm in class. Also, I am applying for jobs in my field, but my direction has been derived from my friends.

Had I not met these friends in college, I would probably be graduating undeclared...

      ... That is not possible, but there is no way I would have even thought about a job until a month after graduation. What is my family paying for again?

Life science. Good thing I surrounded myself with considerate individuals, who care about where their friends will end up in 10 years.

I'm searching for jobs, but I'm still blindly throwing my resume out there at anything I qualify for. I've also developed a rough plan for what I am doing for the next 3-5 years (with the help of Google, and LinkedIn). However, the only factor preventing me from STARTING MY EMPLOYMENT NOW is that damn college degree.
                                     never the less... IIII'M READYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
Instead of producing for an organization and earning a decent salary and work experience, I'm sitting here complaining to you about my homework. How old am I? read my other posts and try to figure it out, but lets say I should be at least a year out of school by now.

Life Science...  you can kiss my sclerenchyma.

Late Night Fix

For the past 3 years or so, I have found it somewhat difficult to fall asleep at a reasonable time. Those who know me attribute this to my need for late night gaming sessions.
   
     I'll reason with that assumption, and say that night is the most convenient part of the day for me to find time for my hobby (I use the term hobby very lightly because that is just not a heavy enough word to describe my addiction), because between 9:30pm and 3am I have no responsibilities to devote my time to.

It is entirely probable that I trained myself into a late night sleep schedule due to this "fixation" I have had with interactive entertainment from years 1-4 of my college career, with consecutive nights of World of Warcraft and League of Legends sessions, but I feel that I have reached a point where these factors no longer drive me to my insomnia.

      No see, as I sit here typing now I feel more like I am frantically grasping for an excuse not to go to sleep. Yeah, sleep is AMAZING and if I could marry the damn thing I would but from 9:30pm to 3am I feel so relaxed and unmoved by the rest of the world that I cannot help wanting more of this fabulous dead zone.
I have come to the realization that I love this part of the night because there isn't anyone else awake to bother me.
                                                 THEY ARE ALL ASLEEP :D

Nobody texing me, telling me they need something, causing problems that affect my regularly scheduled activities, NOTHING.

...And I'm sitting here fighting to stay awake, because once I hit the pillow, my day is done. I have to wake up to some wanker nagging me about they can't pay the utility bill till next week because they are incapable of life within the societal constraints, but its my fault for not paying it ahead of time with money that I don't have to begin with.  (I'm not saying I'm perfect at paying bills on time either... but I'm more perfect than they are damn it! And I am not paying anything until I have the other shares of the bill in my pocket.)

Hell I could care less about video games at 3am because I'm so tired that I can't play them right anyway! So I'm sitting here right now typing to you because I don't want to deal with you in the morning. You suck. All of you, however I do need you to keep reading these things because I like watching the numbers go up unexpectedly when I do little to no work keeping readers entertained.

Please me. Appease me. Don't make me go to bed...
