Some background info

My friend Jason asked that I write a little intro about this blog. So here's how I became the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Sith order is dead. So what's to stop me from resurrecting it? My qualifications:

1. I claimed it.
2. I'm kind of an asshole.
3. What's it to you, anyway?

I'm not sure what the confusion is here. If you personally know anyone who is more qualified to be the Dark Lord of the Sith, please let me know so that I can eventually kill them.

Phase 1: Personal Development

Phase one of the master plan is all about being a better Sith Lord.

1. Improve posture (Siths don't slouch)
2. Figure out my Darth name
   
3. Don't take anybody's shit
   
4. Learn how to kick ass
   
5. Use the Force

Obviously, this list is in order of difficulty. Every house is built brick by brick (as long as it's built out of brick).

Mission Statement

If any Jedi are reading this (which I doubt), I have to warn you that we will eventually be at war. But as you can probably tell from the timeline below, it's going to be a while. Also, I'm shopping for condos now, which is taking up most of my free time.

Our code:

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Through passion, I gain strength.

Through strength, I gain power.

Through power, I gain victory.

Through victory, my chains are broken.

The Force shall free me.

(Taken from Wikipedia, which is awesome).

Sounds reasonable, right? OK, let's start from the beginning -- passion.

I'm passionate about the following things (this is a list in progress):

1. Being left alone while I'm reading
2. Really good food
3. People being mean to the people I love or care about
   
4. Double standards
5. Sneaky people who screw me over
   
6. A misunderstanding of the nature of statistics
7. Makeup

Somehow, I'll parlay that list into strength. Next is power.

There are two basic methods by which people attain power. The first is through fear and intimidation. The Sith (i.e. Me) haven't really learned how to use the Force yet. Which means we can't go around choking people with our minds. Also, we don't have a lightsaber. So we'll have to put fear and intimidation on hold for now. The second method is through respect. The new order of Sith plan on ruling through the power of Transformational Leadership, which I learned about in a Political Science class I took in college.

That's just until we can hit the gym or take some Akido classes. Then it's fear and intimidation all the way.

Hi Everyone,

I'm the new Dark Lord of the Sith. Right now, I'm going by Darth Kate, but that's just until I can come up with something more sinister sounding. Please let me know if you have any ideas -- the new Sith order welcomes your feedback.

I've come up with a plan for the rebirth of the Sith empire. There are three phases:
Phase 1: Personal development of the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Phase 2: Get an apprentice, train to competency.
Phase 3: Build an empire.

Obviously, we are currently in phase one, which I expect to last about twenty years. Phase two will probably take another twenty. And phase three will take about five. I haven't gotten around to making a Gant chart, but I've put that on my Outlook task list.
