ok, first off to the people who said its not real star wars its a kids movie. The original star wars were intended to be kids movies, so they are finally getting back to the original feel for the movies. With episodes 1-3 they tried to make it more adult drama and look how well that worked out for them. The story was a true star wars plot, they kept alot of technical data accurate and brought in alot of references to movies past and present to tie in the continuity of the story. They covered a section of the story that has been left out and filled in some more of the gaps,further developing the story for the next movies to come out. Lets hope lucas finally decides to make ep 7-9 =)

Still not 100% sure on who I am voting for but so far McCain is in the lead. He has a military background and knows how the military works and has experience in world politics. Where as Obama wants to sit down with the Quadafi types and try to work things out. Terrorists aren’t very open to negotiations, to them we are the great devil who must be defeated in the name of thier god. Talking to us and reasoning out a peaceful existance is NOT in their plans. Obama wants to withdraw the troops from Iraq right away, yet another mistake. We are there now and we need to finish what we started. Yes its a mess but if we withdraw, we will lose untold troops to poorly laid withdrawal plans as well as leave the entire region more unstable than it was when we got there. The war has entered its longest phase yet, the hearts and minds. We are starting to see groups who were initially against us, coming to our side. They are beginning to see where the terrorists are willing to take thier country and are doing to thier own fellow citizens and finally are standing up against them as well. We need to continue to perservere and to build that country, one road, one school and one city at a time. If Iraq suceeds in becoming a democracy, there are further benefits. The people of Iran have been on the brink of revolution for a decade and if they are right next door to a country where there is free markets, no persecution or tyrants running the country into the ground, nor denying rights and freedoms, it will only spread.

Started to really dig into learning PHP and mysql this week. wow at first it was a bit daunting but the more you learn the more there is to learn. Its the first language I have gotten this far in and the further i read, the more i learn, the more i WANT to learn. Once i get classes and objects down, I am going to move on to adding in some AJAX to my toolkit to create more interactive, dynamic sites.
