Obi Wan and Darth Maul...
https://youtu.be/Iq6-X-L92eI
Ok so I wasn't really thinking about star wars or Darth Maul at all. There were one or Jedi toys at the pawn shop in the old hood but never paid it much attention. I just wanted the discount mower so got that.
But returning home and watching that breakfast club scene from the last post, it seemed to me the actor that plays the teacher and the actor that plays Darth Maul, have some facial similarities.
Anyway my buddy was sick last week so never got round to his place til today. Means it was my first time in the hood since longer than I can remember. I remember visiting other friends there but the mom is a bit weird and we're a little estranged now. Last time I visited her there was some kind of festive events at her place like an engagement party and an after party. I remember buying a lawnmower used, from some white trash friends of hers. She's super multi-genetic coloured non South African person with a kind of chip on her shoulder I guess. Anyway I had to decommission that lawnmower I bought way back when as I had absolutely used it a helluva lot and now it doesn't idle well. I can probably fix it anyway but just keeping it at home. I like to have two working mowers on my utility vehicle, especially when things get busy.
Yesterday was a blast. A bunch of kickass sailors I sail with occasionally, we had to move the forty foot yacht out of lake Macquarie back to Newcastle. I steered most of the way on the ocean after dusk. Like two hours. Sweet as. You want onboard lights to all be red at night so your eyes are properly adjusted to the dark and starlight. Even with no moon, the stars really light up the ocean at night.
My el Salvador mechanic buddy changed the rear brakes and rear brake discs on the Mercedes. Probably first time rear discs had been changed with 160,000 km on the clock. Transmission fluid had been done. Battery done earlier this year. Not sure about spark plugs. Front brakes ok for about 8000 or so km I would say. I changed the oil. That was super black like 17,000 km later. Next time I'll change oil filter. It's a nice car. My buddy's wife was home too. They're old enough to be my parents. They're pretty nice, from El Salvador. They have their own kids and grandkids. They have family in El Salvador with proper jobs and lives. they're happy with the president in El Salvador that's locking everyone up.
Visited my former bff's mini town within the general ghetto area. He wasn't around but I got the mower. I feel bad for him, he got raped by a paedophile up the ass when he was a ten year old boy. It pretty much kinda ruined his life. Different people react differently to that kind of thing. Happens a lot. Haven't seen him in a long time. He's kinda no fun, very grumpy and judgemental. Still your heart goes out to the guy.
Left the area. Might return on the weekend for a church christening. Just in and out. No need to dwell.
You know if you read Blavatsky, the idea of an evil brotherhood like you see in star wars is described as possible, like in lord of the rings, all the evil wizards, etc. She describes that as having occurred in Earth's past, but not currently possible. Jesus describes, as per the last post, as the evil just being thrown into the fire like firewood. Jesus talks a lot about hell in the Bible, more than heaven. Even just taken as functions of human life, heaven and hell are real. But there's a hell in the afterlife too.
