Cape or Degree? You Decide.

bold statement for the day:

In order to be a super hero you must drop out of school.

This very true statement came to me in a dream. If I want to have super powers I must dissown all educational merits I have ever achieved in order to pursue my life as a above average super hero.

Sure with a nice educational background, and heightened intelligence I could help people, become an above average citizen contributing to the greater good of all man, but in spite of those possibilities, I will never be able to be a real super hero.

If you think of the all the greats, they never had a BA nor did they ever really attempt to finish out any college or university programming.

SpiderMan, just couldnt manage the busy nightlife of spidey sensing New York's problem areas and so his studies failed and he had to devote a full time career to part time photography and super hero work. Not a bad gig for a high school graduate.

Batman - well batman was a ninja so its a completely different education, and he was very in tune with knowledge, but its a completely different cookie cutter.

Superman, well okay, superman went to school, but he's so made up. I mean seriously, a SUPER...MAN...gimme a break. Other planets, smallville's and other made up mega cities. Anyone who believes in superman shouldnt be allowed into a college anyways.

Regardless, to all kids out there that are reading this, drop out of school, take a costuming class, build yourself a sweet cape and discover what life is really about.


I so wore a cape while I wrote this.
