Giant Cojones…

I need some assertiveness training.

I’m not kidding. I have no spine. It’s bad. I avoid confrontation so much that I let people walk all over me. I can’t seem to say ‘no’ to anyone. I need some kind of class. In fact, the other day, I thought about who would be a great assertiveness trainer.

Now I don’t know his name, but I bet my friend Jon knows. The guy I’m talking about was in ‘Star Wars: A New Hope’. They’re having a staff meeting and this guy calls out Vader right in the meeting.

Choke Hold Vader

Consider what we know about Vader up to this point:

  • He’s the baddest mothertrucker in the galaxy.
  • Just twenty years ago, he killed ALL the Jedi, including kids.
  • He will kill his subordinates for the most minor infractions.

And this guy has the cojones to call him an idiot right there in the meeting. Vader does give him the choke hold, but still, to just go up to Darth Vader, lord of the mothertrucking Sith, and say ‘dumbass’ is pretty bold.

You gotta admit…

    LOL. I gave Eric assertiveness training, but that kinda backfired. The only person he asserted himself with was me.

    there’s a middle ground to be had, to be certain. funnier thing is that we’re both writing about balls today.

    I know Loki and I have this problem too, sometimes. And it’s easier to just relent than to stand up for ourselves. But every once in a while, our tempers get the better of us and then we assert ourselves. It’s finding that balance though, that’s difficult.
