Back to reality...

Okay.. all of the popculture hype currently fixated on superheros from Superman to Nacho Libre has got me thinking.

"Isn't everyone a superhero in their own right?"

In my opinion, everyone, well almost everyone, has a special natural ability or skill that makes them well 'unique'.

So I thought about it and came up with my own superhero profile.... so... without further adieu...

Name: BeeButterrfly

other super names considered but not selected:
** She-Ra (already taken)
** SuperGifter
** Moesha Stewart

Secret Identity: Corporate Schmoe

Notable powers or abilities:
**
superior ESP-like intuition

** incredible long term memory
** witty sense of humour
** unsurpassed gift giving abilities

Secret Weapons:

** Glue gun
** killer smile

Weakness: ummm.. krispy kreme donuts!

Arch enemies:
>> Doubters, haters, and pessimists alike...
>> Stilt walkers, clowns, anything in masquerade




okay.. so that's my superhero profile.. what's yours?

Hey B, your blog is pretty good. You are really showing your creative side her. Great idea with the awards and the superhero. I have to think about mine a little more!

Hey - found this story rather appropriate for our shared super-weakness for all things clown-y:

Highlights from the article, for me, are the actual name for clown phobia, "coulrophobia" and the fact that Johnny Depp has it!

"Johnny Depp, the actor, is a sufferer of a phobia that, he says, may stem from a childhood experience. It induces rapid breathing, nausea and feelings of dread." --- wow.. at least I know I'm not alone. That's exactly what I feel when I see a freako clown, stilt walker, or elmo customed being within a 20 yard radius.

Ok, now you've done it BeeButterfly - the villains are taking advantage of your super-weakness:
