Crazy Jedi Master

So with the last name Luke, you either like Star Wars or hate it. I fall under the first, Love it! Some would say I'm even crazy about it. There are even times when I like to pretend I am a Jedi Master. I know, sounds a little crazy. But you have seen those Star Wars fanatics, they are really crazy.

So you ask, "How to you 'pretend' you are a Jedi Master?" You say "pretend" because in fact you know I am not pretending but I really think I am one. It's OK, I accept my fate. I'm a Jedi Master. And I will tell you how! No, I'm not small and green, it's other ways.

My favorite way to be a Jedi is when I'm walking into a grocery store. You know they have those automatic doors, I mean doors at the front. And just as I am walking in the doors I use the force (by taking my right hand and pointing at the doors and moving it to the side, telling all the midi-chlorians to move the door out of my way.) I know if you saw me doing it you would really think some crazy guy is out there. My wife would think so too. The thing is she usually walks ahead of me so she never sees me using the force. And if I'm paying attention I will get the door for her too.

Another way I use the force is at my office. I am able to make the lights come on as I walk into the room, without even touching the switch! Some would say the like switch is set on a motion sensor and when there is no movement in the room the lights turn off and as soon as there is movement the light come back on. I like to think of it as I use the Force to turn the lights on, pretty easy.

Last but not least, I use the Force when I am driving. It's a little harder, but I get it to work, for the most part. For example I will be driving down the freeway (or riding in some cases) and there is a car going slower, in my way. So I just take a little switch of the hand to the right or left and they move. It has been done before! Just ask my work partner. It is a little harder to do at high speeds but if I really focus on the Force then I can get it to work. If not, I just have to whip out my light saber and cut a hole in their tires!

So then next time you are walking into the grocery store, or into your office and you see some guy (or gal) waving their hand to open the doors or turn on the lights, don't think of them as some crazy person. Know they are! Know they are a Crazy Jedi Master!
