Balance


I have never seen a stormtrooper at a college.  I feel like this is something someone would have told me, perhaps in the form of a PSA or something.  If the Empire’s elite soldiers are attending colleges on Earth, we have a problem.  I’ve alerted the research department to prepare a presentation on this newly discovered potential threat.  Hold your panic until I’ve been able to confirm if this is a legitimate sighting.  I’m sure most stormtroopers are philosophy majors anyway.  Assuming they are enrolled students.  This could be a prank to raise a school’s prestige by claiming it enrolled intergalactic students.

Balance is a difficult concept to master, even for elite space soldiers, apparently.  AcMo has never been balanced because of the asymmetric nature of our operations and the requirement to be able to relocate completely in 30 seconds or less.  Upheaval has always been a part of AcMo’s core operating principles.




This character may be the exact reason falling warning signs exist.  There is a certain level of respect that must be granted for any stick type figure that is willing to risk it all for a cool pose.  It might just be that this little character doesn’t know how much damage a fall could cause with those wired bowling balls welded to its arms.  Some people are just born to seek out risks.  I suppose extreme balancing is just another risk.


Nature has always been a guide for those willing to look deeper into the meaning of life, but sometimes even natural objects get things wrong.  We’ve all seen trees that have imbalances and wondered why they couldn’t get their act together and grow up properly.  When was the last time you saw a balanced forest?



The judges wanted to give this frog a higher score, but the stretch to the right side is too great to ignore.  Inside that frog’s head, it is cursing itself for once again being unbalanced during an event on the uneven bars.  This is why dedicated practice is so important to achieving goals.  A couple thousand more hours on the bars, and that frog would have nailed what is a difficult maneuver with ease.

The bottom line for AcMo is that balance is difficult to achieve, and there are too many innovative markets to crash to waste time on securing something we can never use outside of staying upright and keeping our minds safe.  Safe is boring, safe is overrated.  AcMo is supposed to push limits and make the possible seem difficult.  That’s why we’re dedicated to making this yeti experiment work.
