Now witness the power of this fully armed and operational blog...

Well folks, it looks as though the navy has finally decided to listen to me. They have successfully tested a laser weapon to shoot down 4 unmanned drones. This is great news, because now we are well on our way to getting the Death Star (I already have my Darth Vader suit ready for when I take it over). Yet, it concerns me that they are saying the laser won't be deployed anytime soon. Come on!! You shot down 4 unmanned drones, what's the issue here? As far as I'm concerned the only thing left to do is shoot down manned drones (Can drones be manned?...Ooh, ooh, ooh, let it be the Russians...). It's time to use this technology and build the Death Star making America the ultimate power in the galaxy (Except for a stray X-wing that will fire a proton torpedo into our one weakness...). I do request, however, that whoever is in charge of this laser program always be dressed as Admiral Ackbar and they can only say "It's a trap!" That is all.

Join me and your path to the dark side will be complete...Yeah, I know, I'm a Star Wars nerd...

I know I rarely think...

I was listening to the radio today and I heard a commercial that made me giddy as a school girl (Ummm...ok?). It was for a program that typed everything you spoke, so that you didn't actually have to type it yourself. Like all infomerciallistic things it really made a point of everything I hate about typing (Like those commercials where the lady tries to crack an egg but she ends up splattering it all over the kitchen). For instance, they brought up how typing replaces thinking (That's really what it said). Finally somebody addresses this! Because it's so much easier to think and speak than it is to think and type (Because so many people think when they speak). I, personally, have a difficult time thinking and typinadgskjadfashsdkjf (Uh-oh, there I go replacing thinking with typing again). That sort of stuff will never happen when you get this software (It's probably one of those software's where you will have to pause every 2 minutes to confirm what you just said confirm what you just said).
