Being Darth Vadar
As a kindergartner, I remember parading class to class on October 31st, in a Darth Vadar costume. I had a certain swagger when I rocked that black plastic and vinyl getup. It felt good to be a bad guy, even for an afternoon and evening. Maybe this is the Original Sin theologians talk about, this desire to be a bad guy, even when you know it's not right. Turn thirty or so pages, and sometimes I wear that Vadar costume in my heart. Sometimes, while my kids and I wait in a long line at Target, I want to be a bad guy and tell that fool to shut the Sheol up as he talks loudly (and crudely) on his iPhone. Other times I don't even stop to think about being a bad guy--I just do it. I wish I had gotten all that bad guy out of me on that Halloween parade.
(Thanks to Chadwick Trentham, my Chewbacca, for sharing this video first.)
