What's your super power?

I don't remember if I've ever blogged about this topic. If so, then here is an updated version.


Ever been asked the super power question? It usually goes a little something like this-  "if you could have any super power, what would it be"?

I actually think about this sort-of thing a lot. The last time I was asked what my super powers would be if I could have any; I said... I wish I could fly.

Screw that. I mean, being able to fly like a bird would be cool but I'm ready to take my super power up a notch.

If I could have one super power, it would be to be able to go back in time. Not like the phone booth deal from Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure either. Something a little more swanky. Maybe something like turning invisible and re-appearing in a different timeline of life. And being able to rewind or fast forward at any given moment.

How about this computer I'm typing on. The parts had to come from all around the world. Who made the parts, what made the parts, when, how... you name it. I'd go all the way back to the very materials it took to make the parts. Who was working on the job when the parts were made. Where did they come from. All of that stuff.

It could go for any material thing or any person. How about a missing person. I'd love to be able to channel myself back in the threads of time and be an invisible existence to see what really happened and be able to know where they are.

How about this blog platform, blogger! I'd love to go back in time and see for myself who thought of the idea, how they thought of the idea, what gave them the idea. Were they drinking a cup of coffee, was it a late night thought... Who ever it was, thank you! I can now get my thoughts on a blog site and share it with the world.

Now, if you could have any super power, what would it be?

A touch of Joe Dirt

Have you ever seen the movie Joe Dirt? If you haven't then do yourself a favor and watch it! That movie is brilliant in so many ways, ha!

If you have seen it, you'll probably remember the part where Joe talks about looking up at the moon and wondering if the person he is thinking about is looking up at the same moon at the exact same time, while thinking about him.

I sort-of had that same kind of thought tonight.

As I was driving back home from a wedding tonight, the sky was beautiful in so many ways. Even though it was dark and pushing midnight, there was a lightning storm way off in who-knows-where land. At first I thought it was storming in my part of the town but as I drove closer to home, there was no site of a storm.

My drive back home took right around 45 minutes. It's the one part of Interstate 485 that has 3 lanes and very little traffic. Which made it extra nice with the light show going on in the distance. In addition to the streaks of lightning going off in the distance, the moon was almost full. It was that moment when I had my Joe Dirt moment!

So... my question is; have you ever looked up at the moon and thought of someone and wondered what they're doing? It's not so much that I wonder if they are thinking about me while looking at the moon but then again, it has crossed my mind.

With the very popular social networking site of facebook, we can have a little more insight on what people are doing but it's a little deeper than a quick status update. It's more of wondering what they are doing in life, how they got to where they are now and wondering if they ever think about you in any kind of way. And wondering what their thoughts of you are.


I even think about people that I've never met before. For example, tonight at the wedding, I saw lots of people. I didn't know a single person but a few faces were highlighted in my memory. That usually comes from doing something like speaking or wearing something that catches your eye. So I often wonder... will I ever see that person again in life? After the person leaves that wedding, what lifestyle will they be going back to? That sort-of stuff.


If you really only knew all the stuff that I wonder about...

A few pics

I've been drooling over this camera (Canon 5D Mark II) for a while now. So I decided to "act now" and add it to my weapons of mass photography!

Enjoy!

Random thoughts

Ever sit around trying to connect the dots to something your mind is dreaming up? Or maybe even connecting the dots to where your life seems to be heading? Do you even have a time when you can slip into some sort of trance and visualize things? These sort-of things can be either real life or something completely made up. For example, ever wonder what you life would be like if this one certain person never walked into your life?

Ever get deep in thought and wonder if the things you are imagining are pure genius? Or dumber then dumb? Or maybe it's so silly you'd be embarrassed to say anything to anyone about it? It's not the greatest feeling in the world when you get laughed at for some of your visualizations you have going on in your head. It makes perfect sense to you but to everyone else... it's the dumbest thing ever.

I was just wondering.
