Anyone who’s seen Disney’s Aladdin knows there are rules associated with wishes. Essentially, a genie can’t do the following:

1. Bring someone back from the dead
2. Make people fall in love
3. You can’t wish for more wishes

I’m not sure why these rules are in effect, but there are and so I must obey them. Nevertheless, I think it’s safe to say I’ve found a loophole.

So here are my three wishes:

1. A lightsaber. And not just a movie prop, I’m talking an all out fully functional lightsaber with blade and everything. Coolest. Weapon. Ever.

2. Jedi Force powers. I want the ability to lift people off the ground and force their heads through the ceiling if they’re annoying me. Or use Force push and watch people trip. Yea, I’d be a dark Jedi because it’s just so much more fun.

But I draw the line at wearing a robe. I don’t want people confusing me with Jesus.

3. Another magic lamp. See? problem solved. You can get free wishes for life this way.

All of you will know when I find a magic lamp, too, because I’ll be writing entries from Australia*.

*Lamp #2, Wish #1
