| Han shot first he extended universe is still canon, in my opinion. Also, saying tothat "only a Sith deals in absolutes" is in and of itself an absolute, therefore it's a self-contradicting statement as it was made by a Jedi. Jedis aren't perfect, they strive to be emotionless, celibate, p... |

| But in Return Of The Jedi, Yoda tells Luke, "you either do, or you do not - there is no try." Isn't that an absolute? I interpret it as the result of the actions matter in the end & not the effort put into it. nick007 I can honestly say I've personally never heard that take on it, or ... |

| The statement does not assume what will happen, and with time travel there is no absolute. Though, my thoughts are not an absolute either. My thoughts are driven by Absolut - vodka that is! See what I did there? Time travel? Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts. Fans of Magnum PI wi... |

| "Only a Sith …" is an absolute. And before you can do anything, whether it's playing the Appassionata or scratching your butt, you have to try to do it. "There is no try" makes no sense at all. They are entertaining movies, but you sure don't want to think too hard about them. D... |

| First off, a lot things have changed in my life. I moved to another city, quit my job and a friend who I really like tells me her husband wants her to stop communicating with me - s**t ain't too good right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, "poor me", *sarcasm* I know. Look, hope ALL WPers are doing w... |

| Currently pump gas at a station. Made a mistake, got docked $30 pay on Wednesday. Ride the bus with one transfer to get there. Takes about half an hour to 40 minutes to get there - $5 a day commute. The 2 older brothers who own the station/garage are major a-holes, so I decided to quit. F 'em! |

| Hagakure by Yamamoto Tsunetomo translated by Alexander Bennett - It's the most influential of all Japanese books on Bushido, the Samurai warrior spirit. Just started reading, so far so good. |

| Whatever the deal is about people not keeping interest in you is a little odd. It's hard to get an accurate read on someone over the internet, though from your posts you seem pretty cool, thoughful and interesting. Try not to let it get to you too much. Well I know with one he had a possessive ex, ... |
