R2-D2 = iMac

I came upon this little quote while reading a blog a bout the many star wars designs. Here's what the blogger had to say about R2-D2: Nearly all the tools and utilities are hidden inside the casing of the droid making him something like an iMac or an Swiss Army Knife on Wheels. (via)

I found interesting that a robot, that was created 33 years ago, would be compared to the best and most practical computers ever made. A sign of the times lol

I have to hand it to HIM

No really, God really comes through when you sit down and truly seek him as the center of your life. Just a bout a year ago on my birthday, I came to the realization that I needed to get my life in order. I was not a kid any more I had to grow up. So from there I began take charge and pray and think of Gods plan for the rest of my life. at that time I wasn't in school I had decided to take a break but deep down inside I knew I had to go back but I lost my scholarship and everything so it was too difficult. Not to mention I was torn between staying here or pursuing my dreams of going of going to Full Sail and making films (im thinking about being a cinematographer).
To fast forward a bit almost 22 engaged to Kristina M. Selecky preparing for our wedding then embarking on our jouney to central Florida to stat our lives together. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW What a change!!! Im so glad to have found some so amazing. I remember growing up before a new school year would start I would say a prayer that would go some thing like this: "God, if its your plan please let me see the woman you have for me I don't want to miss her" and I didn't. I found her at a video shoot I was doing for the childrens ministry. From there we became friends and then Passion happened. Not only would I never forget the time we sat next to each other before the first day and how Amy got me to talk about those stars on the screen. It was a good way of making me talk to her cuz next thing I know I was in an all out conversation about our dreams and passions, But I will never forget the drive up when I sat next to her and we were playing word spell on her iphone and our hands grazed (for the first time) because she didn't move. I knew from there she was special.....

I have to say to the person out there that is reading this don't be down that life isn't really going your way stick it out stay true and remember that God has a story that He is writing Called Your Life that the He is willing to finish.

Here's a vid she gave me a the other day. I combines her favorite band (Relient K) and my favorite movies (uh I think you know the answer to that) here ya go:



I thought it was interesting how they compared the life story in the sing to that of Darth Vader, it really fit well and the whole rewind thing showing his deeds were erased was a good touch. but it could have been done without Jar Jar at then end.


I really don't know how to end this post other than saying I LOVE YOU BABE!!!!

As I Sit Here. . .

...I type in casual dress attire for my first and will be only cake testing for our wedding I Evan Garcia on May 15, 2009 will be marring the most wonderful woman in the world. She's the perfect match for me , Kristy Gar.... oh not yet Kristina Selecky aka. Kristy. But getting back to the present. Cake testing mmmmmm Who would have thought that wedding planning included such a tasty and delicious task. I cant wait till I indulge in all the luscious and decadent layers of the fluffy goodness and creamy frosting that cakes consist of.

Some thing tells me I have to tell you the real motivation behind this blog post.To tell you the truth I woke up today and said oh no I have assignment due tonight!!!. See, After a great class discussion about "covering" (Will explain later) on Tuesday my professor gave a writing assignment that consisted of just finding a topic to write about and just write doesn't matter if I get off topic just write. Its called Yarn writing as apposed to a conceit where your writing is more structured and focused. So I said this gives me a real good reason to just sit down on my Mac and blog. I didn't ask if I could do this because I thought of it on the way home from class that night. I hope he's fine with the medium that I have chosen in which to do my assignment.

Ok now back to the real topic. Oh hold up, I cant I must not stray from the task at hand. Which is pretty funny because I'm supposed to get off topic but I must control my self to stay on task which entails I not stay on task Uh!!! Just a little confusing I think. Well to change the subject (WOW, that was a real bad transition) to something much less important and exciting I will start giving my opinion on the computer animated Star Wars The Clone Wars Movie/T.V. Series. Back in June when Star Wars.com announced that to jump start the animated T.V. series they will combine the first four episodes and make a movie and release it in THEATERS!!! I was sooooo excited about it!!!. And August 15 has now come and passed I've seen it several times , so I believe I have some authority and can give a real good opinion about it. The first thing that I noticed about it was of course the animation style. Its like nothing ever put to screen. It took me forever to figure out where I have seen this look and finally on one of the producers blogs they said they were going for a Thunderbirds marinate puppet type of style. I said to my self HA!!That where I’ve seen it!!!! Remember that puppet show where they would fly in space and stuff it was pretty much startrek with puppets (noticed how i put startrek all in lower case hee heee). I remember as I child I was a bit creeped out by them I mean come one they had really big heads with even bigger bulging eyes that would never blink on a miniscule body. And this is where I start typing my way into obscurity after about an hours worth of typing. So cakes HERE I COME!!!!

A blog ELEVATE, has

Hey guys
If you didn't know already know but Elevate has a cool blog. Check it out right now cuz there's a guest post by yours truly about the AWESOME time we had at Laser Quest this past Monday. I would head on over there if I were you.

-Evan

Beatboxing fluteplayers and Inspector Gadeget... Who woulda thunk it?

Thought this was pretty unique. The ending is the best part me thinks.

Kids say the darnest things about Star Wars

Well, here I am on the third day of this terrible sickness with fever, body pains,throat swollen and this head and neck pain that makes me feel like they're gonna fall right off. It all started Monday morning I woke up and couldn't move. Long story short I ended up taking a FREEEEZZING COLD shower to bring down my temp. of 103 (Never want to do that again!!) I haven't been at work for 6 days missed Elevate (Not Cool) but the good thing is that it seems like I'm recovering. After A TON of sleep, watching episode 3 and Episode 4 back to back, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Blue Harvest (The Star Wars Family Guy episode). I think I have stored enough strength to surf the internet and blog.

When I went on I said to my self "I want to see something thats funny see if it can cheer me up". So out of the blue Homestar Runner came into my head. If you don't know this site, well you just have to check for your self, it's a collection of funny flash cartoons made by the Brothers Chaps(that's the only way I could describe it). Its been months since Ive been on this site. Well I saw one of the toons and MY GOODNESS I haven't laughed so hard in my life. My head felt like it was on fire but I didn't care I kept laughing and laughing and laughing. I showed it to my sis and she laughed but not as hard as I did. If You want to see it: homestarrunner.com (theres a link to the site in my COOL SITES list) under toons and the title is: Somber Vacation.

If You're wondering "What in the world does this have to do with Kids and Star Wars?" Then worry no more because I am about to tell you about my little discovery on the Star Wars Message Boards. I found this thread tittled "The misconceptions you had about Star Wars, when you were a kid" and I clicked on it thinking: "this should be good". Little did I know the amount of laughter that the post would trigger. I had to tell someone about this so I told some of them to Kristy (My Pelican) and she loved them. So here are some of the ones I found to be the most honest and funny. Keep in mind these are real stories!

- i thought chewie came from the same planet as the ewoks, he was just a different version (like how there are housecats and lions sort of thing).

- (love this one)i didn't understand about the ep IV thing either, and when i asked my parents they told me that GL must have been on drugs or something because a lot of people did drugs during the time they were made, so for a long time i thought he just numbered them wrong because he was on drugs and forgot how to count, and i thought it was very sad.

- I thought that Vader grew back his head after getting it sliced off by Luke on Dagobah and pow he's alive on his super star destroyer talking to the bounty hunters

- I thought the Jawa's had a crush on Luke! There is that scene when Luke is walking over to the Jawa Sandcrawler to look at the line-up of droids. They show Luke walking, and the next scene is shows Jawas getting excited, screaming, and running away. It looks just like teenage girls watching a boy band. I still wonder about that one...

- thought the first Death Star run was a game, sort of like the Olympics. Some kind of contest. It was because of the medals at the end, with the award ceremony!

- "I thought stormtroopers were Vaders sons!!
Hes got alot of 'em!!! "

- (This one was popular) "Personally I always used to think that when Ben's sabre blade dissapeared in ANH i thout his battery had run out."

- like the guy that said "When I was a kid, before I saw the film I thought C3PO was a bad guy. He had glowing eyes you see." (LOL LOL)

- When I was a kid, I remember seeing R2-D2 and C-3P0 in a commercial telling about how you shouldn't smoke. I didn't realize at the time that they were in Star Wars, so years (and years) later when I first saw Star Wars, I was like "OMG, It's those robots from the smoking comercial!!!"(LOL Pricless)

- (This one happened to me too!!) When I finally saw all three Star Wars movies, all of the Star Wars references on the cartoon "Muppet Babies" suddenly made sense!

- Dark Vader--I called him that for the longest time, until I got into a fight with a kid at school over it(HAHAHA!!)

- I remember thinking that Princess Leia selfishly doomed Alderaan by looking out the window at the planet and confirming the location of the rebels in a German accent. "Dat one, they're on dat one." (Instead of Dantooine get it? LOL)

- during Star Wars, where Luke is watching the hologram of Princess Leia. In the scene he says, "Old Ben lives out beyound the Dune Sea. He's kind of a strange old hermit.." I mis-heard it was, "Old Ben loves out beyond the Dune Sea. He's kind of a strange old kermit." For a long time, I wondered if Kermit the Frog was a Jedi. I was a very odd child.(Yes, he was)

- Also, I thought that Obi-Wan disappearing was a censorship thing because they weren't allowed to show him getting chopped in half!(guess that could have been true)

- I first saw the movies when I was 3 or so, and I had a terrible problem with the accents and figures of speech. When you think that Ben felt that "millions of oysters suddenly cried out in terror," or that Darth instructed Piett to "prepare the bowling party," well, it becomes clear that there was something else of interest beyond the dialogue. (LOLOLOLOL)

- when I saw the word 'rebels' in the opening crawl (in 1977), I thought that the movie was going to be about the United States Civil War. (WOW)

- me and my childhood friends came to the horrifying conclusion that obi wan was alive and had escaped in the nude. just a naked old man running through the death star ::shivers:: (funny but bad thought came flushing into my head!!!)

I do admit not seeing the movies and reading this must have felt like stepping into some weird confessions meeting. But nonetheless those were hilarious!!! as for me my only misconception was thinking Boba Fet's name was really Boba Fleet (the name of some fleet of starships). How about you guys? Those of you that have seen the movies probably have some funny stories you can tell. feel free to comment.

Wow I'm really feeling better laughter really is the best medicine!

A taste of what is to come....

Mute Math is that type of band that you just cant sum up in one word or even listen to and think you have them all figured out. They are so eclectic, ambient, rhythmic, lyric heavy at times, very
meloudious, and they rock your FACE OFF!!! with their live show. When the songs play in my random library shuffle I dont skip em instead I enjoy them like it was the first time I heard them. I have never grown tired of their debut cd. So its safe to say I am soooooooo crazy excited about their new album and from the looks of this vid it is going to be very well worth the wait!!!

And of course I have to post the video that, to me, put them on the map
