Ever since I was little I have always wanted to be a Superhero. I am still up for volunteering for science experiments that could potentially give me super powers. Besides the obvious power and leaving people stunned with a WTF! expression, I will like to save good people from bad people.
I have always been a Spiderman fan, that was the first Superhero I was infatuated with, I picked him over stronger superheroes like Superman (Who was my first love until he was stolen) because of his weaknesses, he was more believable, he could die and he needed wit and intelligence mixed with his powers to stay alive so everyday will be an adventure. The Spiderman 3 movie just KILLED all my fantasies when they decided to make Peter Parker into a p@$$y!
I was just in Barnes and Nobles walking around, looking for a programming book that I have wanted to buy for a while now. As I walked through the store and my eye wondered. I looked at all the colorful book covers, I looked at all the titles of each book section, amazed at how every book was arranged so neatly and in order, I stood and stared. I then walked over to a section picked up a book and ran my fingers across a cover and it all came rushing back to me. The reason I have not been in a book store recently, the reason I have not picked up a book to read in a while. The reason I felt I was in a candy store as soon as I walked into the store. I love books.
For a long time now I have always believed that women were the true leaders of the world. Someone once told me that the saying “Behind every successful man is a woman” points to the fact that there cannot be a powerful man, without a powerful woman at his side. The person goes further to ask me, who did I think was really president Hillary Clinton or Bill Clinton. At that time I laughed and brushed the question aside but with American politics today you can only wonder how Bill actually made his final decisions as he went to bed.
One year has gone by so quickly, in barely a month I am gonna be a year older and hopefully wiser (yeah right). The more I think about it, in many ways I wish I was still a kid. I wish I gained pleasure from blowing bubbles, running around giggling as I pop every single one. I look at them and envy the fact that the simplest things make them happy, make them laugh and best of all that they have no responsibilities, they are not even responsible for their own lives. Ignorance truly is bliss.
Ever since I watched that movie “Pursuit of Happiness” I realized consciously or subconsciously that’s what we all have dedicate our lives to. Every action we take is towards achieving some form of happiness. That cake you deprived yourself of was so that you can be happy about the way you look. The school degree your working on is so that you can have a happy future, even the lie you told your friend was to make yourself happy for making him happy. That is our number one priority in life and some of us don’t even realize it.
Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to be one of three things. A Ninja (For obvious reasons), a hacker (for the power) or a Secret Agent (more of a Bourne than a Bond). It recently occured to me that I have always been facinated and dreamed of belonging to some elite secret society, where there are only few people who are in the know and I get to do cool things like save the world from total annhilation from some super evil bad guy like Dr Evil.
