Samuel L Jackson Believes Mace Mindu Survived His Shocking Demise
In all of the prequel films, few of the new characters were as memorable or as popular as the Jedi Master Mace Windu. How much of that is the result of him being played by Samuel L Jackson, one of the most popular actors of all time, is up for debate, but he was one of the few characters who had... character. Sort of. He had a purple lightsaber unlike any other Star Wars characters, and he was portrayed as one of the Jedi's most powerful warriors, both in the dialogue, and his brief fight with the bounty hunter Jango Fett. It was Windu who was the most distrustful of Anakin, and naturally, Windu's death at the hands (er... lightning) of Chancellor Palpatine, AKA Darth Sideous with Anakin's help is the final nail in the coffin for Anakin's journey to the dark side. With Mace being shot out of a window into with the use of Force lightning after Anakin cut his hand, Mace Windu seemed like he was totally kaput.

Autumn Moon Magic
“We are born to kiss the stars and dance with the Moon.” ― Avijeet Das Full Moon in Taurus 31st October It’s no coincidence the ancient celebration of Samhain, when the seasons change, the nature twists on itself and the veil in between the worlds is thin and yadayada, falls into the Scorpio Season. Hailed by the fans of candy and slutty outfits, the neo-pagans and growing number of witchfolk, there is something about the All Hallows Eve that brings us closer to those we have lost. And diabetes. Mix that Scorpio intensity, sexual yearnings and a flare for self-sabotage & energies of stubborn and (material+physical) pleasures seeking Taurus, and voila – we’ve got some stinky spicy mess of an emo-soup being served on the last day of October.

Find us, help us, save us...
DATA FILE: Audio Log CREW MEMBER: Medical Officer, Liza Murphy DATE: November 22, 2379 C.E. TIME: 0604 Hours “This was supposed to be a standard op. Land on the comet, extract the minerals and bug out. Needless to say things didn’t go as planned. If I only knew what awaited us on this frozen hell of a rock... I would have told captain Mason to turn around. No, I would have made him. We just landed a little less than thirty six hours ago. None of us have had the chance to sleep... There were eighteen of us originally. Now there’s only six... Mason, Rip, Dirk, Janie, Mags and I... The rest are dead... They’re all dead... We checked the scanners when we got here. They didn’t pick up anything out of the ordinary. I’d know considering I’ve been on over a dozen comets. I should’ve checked under the surface... I should have just... it doesn’t matter anyway. Those of us who were lucky enough to escape to the cafeteria when those things entered our ship have been trying to re establish connection with the satellite above us. I fear if we can’t... I fear that we won’t have much longer... Dirk is our chief communications officer. He says we should have a baseline established in the next few hours. I pray that he’s right... Mason told us to record these audio logs for insurance... for proof. If we... well...I’m sure you know.”

Mirror Neurons
It was a crisp September afternoon. I'd gathered with my church group at the local park for a picnic, we were welcoming new families into our congregation. Being quite childish for a 17 year old I decided to run around with the kids, not caring that I was too old.

Escaping
Joanna had never planned on leaving, she hadn't imagined that one day she would return home to find her husband had left her; having stolen their joint possessions and money. Even their house had been put on the market and sold. Most women would have been angry and vengeful, but all Joanna felt was a strange sense of whiplash as she tried to figure out what to do next. The only action she could take, after seeing that all her worldly possessions had been sold right out from under her, was get in her car and start driving. As she drove away from what supposedly wasn't hers, she couldn't help looking back at her house; this home, which had been more a prison than anything else...

The Nuclear War
As a delegate to Melecon IEEE, the world's foremost engineering organization who attributed me to the sole founder of Integrity Intrigue Innovation Inc., the title Doctor of Engineering and Philosophy. I wrote to the Nobel Peace Prize Foundation about a theory of reversing Albert Einstein's nuclear weaponry. The universe was made from gases and has been developed through gases overtime. Human beings were not the first to harness the power of gases and explosions, it is what this earth was made of and what the Heavens are still doing for thousands of years and billions of times. As stars and planets fade away or become into being. Our existence consists of gases and balancing their reaction within our system and the earth. Gravity is a chemical force that pulls those reactions toward each other and in respective. If we are to survive the present chemical evolution brought by human innovations and explorations then we must learn how to react the way our universe reacts to become a balancer and stabilizer. All the planets and stars use gases and feed off of them and build off of them. We can't leave earth empty-handed and continue to destroy as its growth has slowed down. We must be the keepers of our future and learn to do what is impossible to preserve this universe with our knowledge.

The Thaumaturges of Ravoshka
It was an unusually quiet afternoon, with the darkening skies looming over a large stretch of orange, barren land. His eyes and mind finally reawakened, though he wasn’t sure if it was because of the creaks coming from the machine he’s in, or a voice trying to reach out to him in the darkness. It took a moment, however, for him to shake off the wave of lethargy consuming his senses. Staying up late wasn’t a wonderful decision at all.
