You know how everyone thinks the Empire in Star Wars is evil? Well, maybe it isn&#8217;t. I think they had one big flaw. It&#8217;s kind of an obvious one. THEIR LEADER WAS A DARK LORD OF THE SITH. Hmm? I mean really, take <i>any<\/i> kind of government and put a dark lord of the Sith in charge and I bet you it will turn out to be a disaster.<\/p>\n<p>So stop badmouthing the empire. It&#8217;s not their fault that they were run by the ultimate evil in the galaxy.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the empire with a good jedi in charge. Peace and stability in the galaxy. A strong ruler to unite everyone in the spirit of love. Also, imagine the money they would save when they no longer have to send all the storm troopers to practice training constantly. <\/p>\n<p>I just think personal freedom is overrated. Look where it&#8217;s gotten us. The world is a shitty place and we have no one to blame but ourselves. Let&#8217;s have a tyrant clean it up, but let&#8217;s be sure it&#8217;s a good, benevolent tyrant. Not like the bad guys in the movies.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my political standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Alba is the prettiest girl in the world. And thank god for seethrough material.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my sexual standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Geeselings are cute, even if that&#8217;s not a real word.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-1948\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2005\/050606_geeselings_th.jpg\" ALT=\"050606_geeselings.jpg\" TITLE=\"click for bigger version\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not a standpoint, that&#8217;s just how it is.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to go see Sin City in the cinema today. I didn&#8217;t, though. Turned out I was too tired. So I just went to the playground instead. For some reason I am never too tired for that. No matter how I&#8217;m feeling, I always feel great when I get there.<\/p>\n<p>Updated the <a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/videos.html\">video section<\/a>, as promised. A video from the Hans Christian Andersen parade. So you can see Dunkelfolket in action if you want. Also a movie clip of Mads. Baahing like a big girl. Haha. Same-old same-old. Funny stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I got an email from a Lisa Dahl, AWA account manager at affiliatedweb.com. They want to put banners on my site, apparently. I wish it was because I had such a great site with thousands of visitors. And not because they just spam everyone. The amount of money I could make by putting advertising on plume.dk would probably be enough for a piece of chewing gum. Not a pack of chewing gum, no, one individual piece of gum from the pack. I could go into the store and say &#8220;Hey, I can&#8217;t afford this pack of Stimorol, but I&#8217;d really like to buy one of the pieces. Is that okay?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mmm, Stimorol with it&#8217;s long-lasting smooth taste of freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Nope, never advertising here!<\/p>\n<p>A couple of days ago my mother told me that she had run into one of my old classmates. Pelle. Pelle was shopping in Kvickly with his mother. They all got to talking. My mother told them some of the stuff that&#8217;s going on with me. I guess Pelle said I could come down and visit him if I want. He still lives the same place as he did when we went to school. Just like me. <\/p>\n<p>I remember he had an Amiga, before I did. So I would often go visit him to play on it. He had a dog. Back then I was terrified of dogs. Seems silly now, but it felt like such a dilemma back then. Playing on the fantastic Amiga, but having to face the wild beast.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough I dream of Pelle sometimes. My dreams often include my old classmates. And for some reason Pelle is one of the most often featured.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll go visit him. Not right now anyway. I haven&#8217;t seen him in 10 years, I can&#8217;t just go to his house and say hi. But maybe later, when things are better yet.<\/p>\n<p>He told my mother that he had read my poems online. Poems I had written under another name. I wonder if that&#8217;s The Boy Who Really Needs from when I first started writing online. Or if it&#8217;s Plume. For all I know he could be reading this now. Hi Pelle!<\/p>\n<p>Odd to think that people I used to go to school with have read my stuff. I wonder how he found them. I wonder if anyone else did. I wonder if they ever wonder about me or if I am just a faded memory.<\/p>\n<p>I always wanted to be remembered&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been thinking.
