super heroes...

the boys in the family that i live with and i decided that there should be a super hero story made up about me... and today at work, i got to frame a picture of captain america... coincidence? probably not...

what are super heroes anyway? i was reading a letter from one of the other boys in the family written to his parents about how he thought they were true heroes (something about what he saw in spiderman 2)... i know... awww... gag me... but i guess in some respects it kind of is true...

what is a hero? - a song by chad kroeger or enrique iglesias? tina turner suggests "we don't need another hero" while Bonnie Tyler says..."I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night, and he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast, and he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero, I'm holding out for the hero till the morning light, and he's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon and he's gotta be larger than life." (i just really like singing that song)

we can say that those who are defending our country are our heroes, or those that have sacrificed... family members or friends... hmmm....

today - who is my hero? my hero is not really one person... gentlemen... those who go above and beyond what our culture says is necessary to win a girl's affection - and takes the extra step to open a car door or walk closest to the street or carry something for a girl... even if it's not that heavy... so i may get ambushed by girls who say they can open their own doors... i used to be that way - but there's something to be said for chivalry... so men - there's your challenge... be a hero!!
