It's a Bird! It's a Plane! Nope, it's just B.

Lots of people would fly if they could have any power. I've never been in a plane. My feet don't leave ground for more than a few minutes at a time. I've never flown, but I'm sure I will before too long. However, I like staying on the ground at the time being. In fact, I can't really be on water for very long either. We went deep-sea fishing when I was younger while on vacation. Once we got out far enough that I couldn't see land anymore... up came breakfast, dinner from the night before, lunch from the day before, the lining and enzymes in my stomach, the motion sickness medicine I had taken that morning, really-- everything.

No, not flight. Not for me.

X-ray vision? Well, At least I could make a good living as a radiologist working at home! Then again, radiation poisoning for myself and all my loved ones never really was for me. Also, I'm a religious man, and being able to see through clothing would simply be a temptation straight from the devil.

Nope, skip the x-rays on me.

Super strength... interesting, very interesting. Great appeal, especially if I look buff, too! I don't know about this one, though. I like rugby a whole hell of a lot. In fact, rugby is probably my favorite thing about Kirksville... not that rugby isn't anywhere else, but I'm not associated with a team anywhere else. Point is, when someone makes me angry, or I get full of adrenaline or too aggressive, I really just wanna tear the other team apart; if I could literally tear them apart... that might be a problem. I don't think our hospital has the technology to put people back together like jigsaw puzzles.

Appealing, but alas, not the power for me.

Mind reading, perhaps? I'd probably take mind reading, but only under a few conditions. There are some people who, I don't have any interest in what goes on in their heads. It would have to be one of those things I could turn off, or have to concentrate to use. If I don't get those rights, forget it. I don't want to know what everyone thinks.

How would I use this power in everyday life, though? I mean, if I was a spy or something, this would be perfect, but I'm not. I'm in Kirksville. Well, first off, I'd take a look and see if I can figure out what the hell my girlfriend is thinking. I know her better than most people, I think, but I swear I have no idea how she works. Next I'd see what's up with my roommates, because I honestly think sometimes that they have the mindset of a toddler. After this, I'd likely use my power to see into the people I work with.

I work in-home with mentally disabled citizens from the area. Some of them talk and function in social settings pretty well, and often communicate their feelings. Some others are without speech, which makes them hard to understand from time to time. I'd like to know if they understand and comprehend everything I'm saying to them, or if I'm wasting my breath. I'd like to find out if they really do like everything we think they do, and what makes them tick.

I guess I have to refine my power. Not only would I want to read minds at will, but be able to communicate telepathically. to read what they are thinking, and respond in their heads. I could really do some good. :)

On the other hand, with wanting to join the armed forces of the United States, I could do quite a bit there as well. I'm not going to get into an argument over whether what I'd be doing would be "good" or "bad," but I could effectively and silently communicate with my troops and (spy on?) the enemy as well. Telepathy and mind communication would be awesome.

If you have a legitimate, interesting, or in any way valid response, please leave it in my comments section.



~~Thought for the Day~~

"I understand that they made antiperspirant deodorant for underarms, but that's not the grossest part of the body. When is someone going to invent ass-deodorant? Like, some roll-on, anti-wetness, fresh all day long ass deodorant?"

Until next time, stay awesome.
