By the gods, by all that?s holy, all that?s good and right in the world, I am a foolish man; I have an infinite capacity for stupidity. There are no bounds to my own lack of intelligence!
(Oh look he?s on another rant; he?s probably frothing at the mouth, poor thing?)
No, all you naysayer?s, I am of sound mind and even sounder typing skill, let me explain.
Follow along the twisted path of my ever tumultuous thought processes and revel in the glory of insanity as I create yet another odd blog and clear out yet another corner in the attic of my mind.
Yes I have been drinking, what?s your point?
Oh MY point, yes I was going to explain wasn?t I? Do you really want me to go on? I suppose you?re fed up with the usual junk I ramble on about! Well buckle up skipper, this ones gonna get a bit crazy!
Here goes:
So, I realize now that I live in a fragile fantasy world of my own creation, one where I am the lord and master, its safe in here and I know what?s going to happen at any given moment, except where I have to interact with the rest of the universe (which is all the time). I have one consolation in all of it, and that is imagination, and this is regularly captured and fed by a few like minds in places like Hollywood, to name but one.
I just watched the trailer for the new Spider-man film and it totally blew my mind, I have always loved the idea of superheroes, people who for no other reason than they can, just going out there and helping to set the world to rights in SPECTACULAR fashion, no, not fashion as in; oooh that chiffon skirt is to die for.
I cant understand how something so awesome isn?t the topic of discussion for every human being at ALL times, what a wonderful world this would be (to quote a famous song) if there were actually superheroes.
For **** sake, how old am I? Like twelve? No I am a full grown adult with a unique perspective on the world that allows me to delight in the mundane, see potential where there is only failure and to recognize beauty in the bleak.
Yes I know, ?Beauty and The Geek? was a good show, even had a few seasons downunder, but I digress.
How can there not be superheroes? Well there are, to a degree. Like many newsreaders around the world, I thank all those animals, women and of course men who do a tough job on a daily basis, like the firey?s, ambo?s and coppers, the elite that enter the armed forces and lifesavers and doctors and blah, and blah, blah, and blah, blah, blah.
I of course am talking about Superheroes, regular run of the mill folk that have developed powers or gained insight or pioneered new technologies that have to be tested.
I mean, always, as far back as I can remember, which isn?t very far just now cause my foots gone to sleep. I?m sitting on it LOL
(Wait, he?s gone all strange again, how?s that bit tie in with anything else that he?s said so far? shut up, just keep reading!)
Anyway, since I was a wee tiny little fella getting set upon by my brother, I always wanted someone to swoop in and save the day, to say that one meaningful sentence that would set everything back on track, make me better understood and make people think about their actions before doing anything bad again.
Doesn?t work like that kid, grow up, eat your veggies and harden up or you?ll get trampled upon, that?s how it works!
Of course the world is harsh and you have to take your lumps but, doesn?t it feel good to escape back into your little fantasy world, don?t you ever just go to that spot where everything is peachy and imagine what it would be like if the rest of the world was like your secret fantasies. For me its superheroes, I so desperately want to hear there is a caped crusader or a masked vigilante out there taking back the night for us fine upstanding citizens, but of course that doesn?t happen and that?s why films like this are so popular. There is actually a documentary about people who dress like heroes and try to make a difference, that isn?t what I mean but kudos to them anyhow!
Take it from me people, you need to bask in the glory of imagination, don?t ever lose that fire in your core, if there is a tiny glimmer of hope in the farthest reaches of your otherwise tainted and world-weary soul, don?t let it be dampened, diminished or destroyed, feed its light, nurture it back to a semblance of health, re-instate it as a recognizable part of the fa?ade you put on for your daily interactions with the real world, have it shine through and be seen by as many people as possible?
Be your own superhero, smile when you?re sad, and give a dollar to a bum, if the boss chews your arse of, say that you appreciate the feedback as it helps you to reevaluate and enhance your performance, if someone belittles or intimidates you, assume they must be in a worse mood than you rather than visiting the most heinous demons in hell upon them.
I don?t know, I am just babbling now and I am not really drunk, it?s all theatrical; I just wish that it would make a difference! I mean, who does it hurt to talk to a lonely person for ten minutes, sure their not going to buy anything, but if you can put a smile on their face then you are probably their hero for just that short while, and surely that?s made a difference to the way the world works, if it doesn?t then I have to believe that it at least inspired someone else to do something similar and that that will make a difference.
If it doesn?t then the whole world can go to hell? oh wait, we already are ; ]
