Breakfast with Darth Vader
Last nights flight was painless…NOTHING like the Light Saber Beating my father gave me at breakfast (This one’s gonna leave scars). The worst part is, if he would ask me to join the *dark side* I probably wouldn’t think twice about it. Meanwhile I live life as *A New Hope* knowing one day I’ll probably have sneak off to the *Deiga Ba System*(spell check).
I know…I speak in riddles but my father really *is* Darth Vader.
On the bright side, Vader looks good. I don’t wish him any harm though he does make me angry. I’ll skip the Star Wars details for now…but my trip seems to have started right with *The Empire Strikes Back*.
It’s very weird to be back in Deeeetroit. The 94 freeway seems to have construction going on ….it started when I was 2 years old and it’s still going on.
The trip can only get better but I will be avoiding all E-Woks…I never liked those little bastards ![]()
More to come.

Yes, you speak with fork tongue. Since I’ve seen every Star Wars movie but am not a big fan I kinda don’t know the analogy you are making but I’m sure everyone else does. I know Darth is a bad guy so what character are you if he’s your father? I think you would have been better off with “Dances With Wolves.” You are a perfect “Titongka” or “Stands with a Hockey Stick.”
So what do you have against E-Woks? Sounds like a Chinese Restaurant.
Meanwhile, the sun is finally shining here in LA and it’s a glorious day! A bit on the chilly side though…about 68 degrees. Brrrrrr.
In Empire Strikes Back…Luke learns his father is Vader and gets his hand sliced off at the end of the movie
thank god for robotics!
Please try to keep all your limbs intact.
where is Yoda when you need him?
i’ve already lost parts but mostly internal
At this moment, there are 17 people online right now reading your website! Do you think any of them would like to join the dark side? Count me in! I think everyone needs at least one good evil journey to make their life complete! Luke Gentry could bring us back into the light.
lurkers rock!
evil is good!
so which am I?
um….*non* I think….um…yeah…or maybe not….
Feel the force Luke!…..feel the force!
my *midichlorean* levels are off the chart
I had to Google “midichlorians” to see what the hell you were talking about. I think your brain has already crossed over to the dark side or maybe it’s just the Detroit weather.
they were created to help bring balance to the force (i’m told)
The force is strong with you young Gentry. But you must confront Vader.
I have a feeling you’re right about that…some day I might even learn the real back story prequels
You were journaling while we drove? I wondered why you needed to know how to spell midi-chlorian (I looked it up online, and this is the proper spelling, I was incorrect the first time).
*when 900 years old you be, look as good, you will not*
hehee
are you going to attend any rosa parks events in detroit ?
not going to have time for any of that with all the Star Wars going on but there’s quite a bit of press on it here…much more than the little blurb of news in CA. Of course…since she lived here and there’s a Rosa Parks Blvd….i would expect nothing less
Hey I think 94 was under construction when I was 2.
Take a drive down Hines Dr for me will ya, bet the colors are nice (oh hell it may be too late)
Anyway Luke, Your our only hope so may the force be with u
Hines Park..wow.
I haven’t been there in ages. i’ll have to come back in the Summer and do some *Hacky-sacking*
Don’t underestimate the power of the Dark Side…
The darkside is yucky
Bob, yes the I-94 construction will never end, but if it does, don’t worry, they’ve also dug out the express lanes of I-96, then who knows what kind of disruptions they’ll think of next.
The force isn’t strong enough in you to destroy Darth? Or was this the equivalent of Vader’s wristshot at the end of The Empire Strikes Back?
i’m just not strong enough to bring down Darth…sometimes I wonder if i’ll ever get to *Return of the Jedi* …not sure if it’s really worth the battle.
