Always in motion is the future… 

Always in motion is the future… The greatest popular culture utterance foregrounding the principle of metaphysical uncertainty ever spoken in a movie designed for mass consumption.

This was Yoda’s answer to the question about the outcome of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi training; and, Like's eventual intervention in THE REBELLION in the movie: The Empire Strikes Back.

Ironically, the Star Was franchise itself falls into the catagory of a future in motion that couldn’t have been foreseen.

Who could have predicted that a movie that was essentially a space Western, samurai movie, made in the tradition of Flash Gordon serials, would spawn the summer blockbuster movie phenomenon?

Who I ask!!!!????

No one could!!!! Because: Always in motion is the future…

No matter how prescient one is, the outcome of any situation is influenced by many random unforeseen forces that cannot be predicted.

And, even when the unforeseen forces are made apparent; and, a new situation arises; this also generates a new blind spots and new random chaotic elements.

Who cold have predicted Jar Jar Binks — the most hated character in the Star Wars franchise.

No one I tell you!!!! NO ONE!!!!!!

FUCK THAT STEP AND FETCH IT COMIC RELIFE DEMI-RASTAMAN!!!! FUCK HIM!!!!!!!!!!

Always in motion is the future…
In 1977 we all asked if the Star Wars movie would have sequel and spawn a huge franchise. At the end of that tumultuous summer, the only answer possible answer back then was: Always in motion is the future…

I know why Yoda sighs… 

I know why Yoda sighs… — The helpless, exasperated, ejaculation uttered when someone who is suppose to be watching your back completely misses the mark.

Your mission partner only has one well articulated and necessary job necessary for the successful completion of “THE PLAN” and they absolutely blow it.

The origin of this expression is the scene in the movie: The Empire Strikes Back when the Jedi Master Yoda deeply sighs after Luke Skywalker fails his test inside of the Dark Side tree.

Luke had one job…ONE JOB!!!!!!!

And he blew it; HE BLEW IT!!!!!!!!!!

And Yoda sighed!!!!!
You had one job…one motherfucking job…and you blew it; YOU BLEW IT…now I know why Yoda sighs…how could you have fucked that up!!!!

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread! 

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread! — Lovers who have their priorities exactly right. At a certain point all we have are the memories we create together. You don’t need much else.

“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread!” just means: In this moment all I need is you and maybe a little wine might be nice too. But, if I have “you” I might not even need the wine either.
Husband:

“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou.”

Wife:

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread! And if there’s no wine, all I need in this moment is you.

I’m just speaking in general… 

I’m just speaking in general… — a story telling tactic used by old southern people when they are actually reading you from head to toe; inside and out; and from womb to tomb. In many ways, this is worse than if they put both feet in your ass and yelled at you about your folly.

“I’m just speaking in general” has four parts: a detailed summary of your past character; a current analysis of your present actions based on things you did as a child; a detailed outcome of you actions based on probability and having seen your story played out in other people’s lives that they have seen with their own eyes; and, an admonition to change your ways if you don't want to end up like the person they are just “speaking in general about.
Boy, I ain’t got no hang ups; I’m too old to have hang ups. Hang ups is for young people — I’m just speaking in general… Oh I knew a boy like you: he was hard headed when he was a baby and he’s head headed now. You know what they say about hard headed people: A HARD HEAD MAKES A SOFT ASSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I’m just speaking in general. But, if you don’t want to end up like that; you better change your ways!!!!!!!!!

coke miles 

coke miles — The rapid aging of the skin and face when someone uses waaaaaaaaaaay to much cocaine on a regular basis. Lines on a mirror case lines on your face.
Man, she used to be really hot, but, now she has coke miles on her face and skin. You know what they say: lives on a mirror cause lines in your face. If she could see her reflection in that snow covered mirror maybe she would stop!!!!!!!

Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove 

Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove — a statement that can be taken figuratively, literally and symbolically that teaches the lesson that sometimes simplicity is profundity.

Used symbolically or metaphorically it can apply to people who let Tantric Sex get in the way of good fucking. Never let the “lyrics” get in the way of the “groove”.

Used literally it can refer to a lesson learned by Allee Willis when she co-wrote the song September with Maurice White.

White insisted on using the filler lyric “Ba-dee-ya” in the context of the finished song; and Allee Willis strongly disagreed with this choice and asked:

What the fuck does “Ba-dee-ya” mean?”

To which Maurice White replied:

What The fuck does it matter. Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove.”

The song was a smash hit.

Figuratively it can be used to mean “less is more”.

Teenager learning to cook doing waaaaaaaay too much:

I’m gonna make a gourmet hamburger with sausage and beef topped with goat cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, Ketchup, and Vidalia onion.

Friend hungry and ready to eat now:

DUDE! Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove!!!! Just make us a couple of burgers.
Husband:

First we are going to do eye gazing; then we are going to give each other oil massages. After that we are going to place our right hands on each other’s hearts while chanting a pleasure mantra. Next, we are going to…

Wife interrupts:

Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove.

Ba-dee-ya 

Ba-dee-ya — The go-to phrase used by Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire in every song he wrote that needed a filler phrase. The most popular use of this phrase was in the song September where he sings:

“'Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember / Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September…”

The co-writer of the song September, Allee Willis, asked:

“'We are going to change 'ba-dee-ya' to real words, right?' " But, this never happened.

In the final vocal session Allee Willis got desperate and begged Maurice White to rewrite that part of the song.

Finally when it was so obvious that he was not going to do it, she yelled:

“'What the fuck does 'ba-dee-ya' mean?'

And, White said:

Who the fuck cares?'"

She said of that moment:

“I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him: never let the lyric get in the way of the groove”

The rest is 21st of September history.

As a result of taking that lesson to heart, Allee Willis went on to write: Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Boogie Wonderland,” the Pointer Sisters’ “Neutron Dance,” Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield’s “What Have I Done to Deserve This” and The Rembrandts’ “I’ll Be There for You (Theme from Friends).”

She has collaborated with: Bob Dylan, James Brown, Patti LaBelle, Deniece Williams, Herbie Hancock, Lamont Dozier; and, co-authored the Broadway musical The Color Purple.

She is also the first woman--and fifth person ever--to have written music for two shows opening on Broadway in the same season.

Ba-dee-ya!
“…Hey, hey, hey
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day..”
