This Looks Like a Job for....

So my girlfriend and I were riding around in the car when she asked the perfect geek question.

If you had a superpower what would it be?

Any geek worth his decoder ring would tell you that they've thought of this. And they probably would have said that they have even thought of a costume. Oh, I'm not talking about the spandex kind...well I'm not talking about it, others may go in that direction, but total function outfit.

So what would it be? Super strength? Invulnerability? Magical Weapon from the Gods? I mean the options are limitless, go to your comic book shop and pick up almost any issue and you'll find about 20 or 30 different powers.

I didn't have to think long when I answered "flight". I'm not saying the give me wings, or shoes with wings on them, or some magical item that allows me to fly. But the self propelled kind. Anyone stuck in traffic or lost anywhere, would tell you that they would love to just float up a couple hundred feet get there bearings and then "oh, that's where i parked my car" off you go.

Now my girlfriend said what would your second power be? Second power? I get one more? Oh joy of joys!! So what would it be? Super-strength! Being able to lift tons of weight like it was nothing. Being able to stand up to whoever you want.

My girlfriend had her own answers too, flight and either invisibility or being able to mind read, and this is a direct quote "to fuck with people". So what would your superpowers be? Would you want to have lasers shoot out of your...eyes? Or maybe when you get mad you turn green and smash a lot of things. I guess that would mean once a month for about 6 days we would have lots of green people smashing shit. Or maybe you would have a healing ability that would let you heal from just about any wound.

So what would it be? And once you start thinking about it, you'll probably start thinking of a costume. Slowly the geeks are taking over, hahahahahahahahaa....hey I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'

Newly Shaven

So now that i am newly shaven, a few things that have been said about it


*you look younger

*you look thinner

*your head doesn't look funny

the funny thing is, is that it's so much easier to deal with. as a performer its so easy to worry about what your hair is going to do to add to your overall look. when i decided that i was going to join this foundation and raise money for them to shave my head, i thought i was a great way to negate the point of "what the fuck am i going to do with my hair?"
now that i have had it done, i like it. its easy to handle i don't have to worry about it and actually its kind of fun to notice how quickly my hair grows.
everything nice that people have had to say about it is true. it does make me look younger, and now that I'm getting older its a good thing.
i really don't think that it does make me look thinner, but i guess that all that hair i had on my head was just fattening me up. next time i see a fat person( and in Vegas you can turn and see 299 degrees of fat) I'll just tell them to shave there head and the rolls will go away.
and its very good to know that my head doesn't have a funny shape. truthfully i was a little worried about that. I've only had my head shaved once before and it wasn't this close, so i knew that i wasn't going to be stewie shaped or oblong. but it's good to know that with my head shaved my head doesn't make people think of the elephant man.
I'm grateful that i do have a full head of hair and that when it grows out, that i have options of what i can do with it. either way I'm glad that i raised almost 1000 dollars for a great cause and i hope that next year i can raise even more. but for now i think I'll keep the look, maybe it will make me more bad ass!!! hey i can always hope.
