Superpowers!
Joshua Radin's The Fear You Won't Fall is stuck in my head.
I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it
That's part of it all
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you is the fear you won't fall
Haha anyway, that was random.
Today I took sometime to do an X-Men marathon. I watched the X men trilogy back-to-back. It was pretty good, the storyline flowed better, but the last movie still sucked. Haha. Yeah, so I was eating beehoon and drinking milk and watching the TV the whole afternoon. And I just watched how Halle Berry's white wig become shorter and shorter with each passing movie, and how Jean Grey's became longer and longer.
My mum says it's unproductive, and I should really get a job. But I'm too trashed to get a job - it'll just make my mood drop a thousand fold. I don't like working.. not yet haha.
It's funny how we engulf ourselves with the desire to have powers, and fly and stuff. That's why superheros sell. I see children dressed in funky spiderman and power ranger costumes all the time, with their mini capes and plastic guns.. haha, it's pretty cute watching them, and remembering you once did something like that. When I was younger I wished I had powers too. I wished I could fly and I could move things with my mind, and I would run really fast and make *swooshing* noises across the kitchen and living room until my mum got so mad. Haha. Those were the days growing up.
But I guess in every one of our hearts - Be it when we were little and naive, or maybe even now - we want or wanted to have powers. At least there was a time. There was a time some of us wanted to be someone larger than life, you know? Like really take control of our lives, set all the wrongs right with our magnificent superhuman powers, and then use it to help the rest of the ones around us.
The legendary superhero dream that we all once had.
For me, my superhero dreams are my ambitions. Sure they aren't those physically impossible dreams, but they are superheroic to me...at least. They are those things that make people around me happy and content. And that's relatively on the context of being a 'superhero' - to help innocent people?
.... well.. so it's SORTA there. Hahaha.
