Just when I was about to lose my faith in television,
here comes a new tv series that caught my attention.

Heroes.

A certain group of individuals, discovers their unnatural talent,
and tries to make sense of what they are becoming.

It’s Brilliant!

Who among us never dreamed of becoming one?
Or just to have special powers?

I surely did.

I remember when I was a kid,
my two greatest fantasies about having special powers were:

Teleportation,
and Time Travel.

Mainly because of the long commute I have going to school
and hating the traffic every single day.

I wanted to just “Teleport” myself and be there on time,
without any hassle.

“Time Travel” because mostly when I get to school,
I often realize that I have forgotten something.

My wallet,
my homework,
my lunch,
(my pants,)
my school bag.
Whatever.

Then I would desperately wish I could travel back in time and get it.

Now that I am older,
I still wish for those two superpowers
but for very different reasons.

Teleportation, just because of having the power to escape
whatever situation you have gotten yourself into.

And Time Travel, just so you can go back
and fix whatever you hate in your life.

Come to think of it,
these two superpowers sounds like you have to do a lot of work.
And a lot of thinking.

And more work is something we should really try to avoid.
Let alone thinking.

So okay then.

Screw it.

I don’t need these powers.

What I really need,
and I’m sure you’ll agree with me,
is a freakin’ Genie.

Aaaaanndddddd… Action!

1. What’s your favorite line from a movie, and why?
–“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my Father. Prepare to die!”
Can’t you just feel the anger on that line?
After years and years of keeping the anguish and hurt inside,
it’s finally coming out.
It’s beautiful.

2. Who’s your favorite villain from a movie, and why?
–“General Zod, Ursa and Non.”
The three Kryptonian villains from Superman 2.
All three have Superman’s power and strength. How cool was that?
Unlike in Superman 3. Where he fought a (gasp!) “Computer.”

3. Name one movie everyone else loves that you hate.
–“Steel Magnolias.”
Not only because I am a guy and I don’t like chick flicks,
but also because I can’t stand the thought of Julia Roberts dying.
I like her. She makes me feel funny.

4. Name one movie everyone else hates that you love.
–“Showgirls.”
Especially if you put it on mute.

5. What’s your favorite Pixar film, and why?
–“The Incredibles.”
There is something about Elastigirl that intrigues me.
Maybe it’s her way of managing being a wife, a mother and a superhero.
Or maybe it’s her ability of being able to stretch
and be flexible to do certain shapes and forms.

Either way, it proves that I am a pervert freak.

Aaaannndd Cut!

Man! I really thought I scored higher than that.

1. If you could pick your own theme song, what would it be?
–“I Started A Joke” by the Beegees.
Because when it all comes down to it,
the “Joke” was on me.

2. Now be honest…if others had to pick a song that described you, what would they choose?
— “Guitar Man” by Bread.
Because even though I don’t draw a crowd, I play so loud.
So loud, it’s annoying.
And I am annoying.

3. What song would be/was the first dance at your wedding?
— Well, this is hard because all I heard were sounds or sobbing, weeping and howling.
Then I realized, it was all me.
But anyway, I always wanted the song “When I Look Into Your Eyes” by Firehouse.

4. What song gets stuck in your head most often?
— I gotta admit.
It’s the “Bob the Builder” theme.

5. What song would you want played at your funeral?
–I would want the “Theme from Rocky.”
You know, the song before the boxing match.
Because, I swear to you, I am going to pick a fight in Hell.
But seriously, I want the song “In My Life” by John Lennon.
Just only if people would come.
