Take the Which Wonder Years Character are you? quiz by Ben


Oh yeah, sliced bread!
and why not


What kind of Drug Addict are you?


because i am.

I've been away from this journal for quite a while. It's only because i generally treat journals like a crutch or some kind of self bandaging medkit. I don't write much when i'm happy because i'm too busy being happy. Lately i've had exams so that's a given that i will be away. So generally it's going to be a depressing place around here. I apolgize for that, like i apolgize for a messy room.

I made some, apparently post-modern comments, to a Sly a good friend of mine. She's a genius about literature, philosophy and the arts. Basically all the stuff i'm generally bad at. She's that one that told me that it's "post-modern" which also according to her is stupid. Anyways, i said to her that i'm starting to believe that heores don't exist. People are generally stable and capable of taking care of themselves. Sure some people believe they need somebody to fly in on a white horse, clad in armor and save them. But i don't think they really need it. In a pinch, i bet they could save themselves. So why am i rambling about heroes? It has nothing to do with the previous post about supervillains. Well, i want to be a hero. I want to rush in on a white horse clad in armor and save the day. I want to be strong and suffer even a little. I've wanted this for a long long time. I dunno where i recieved this notion or hero's complex as i dub it. I have it and it's weird. But never do i save the day.

So i come to the conclusion that, heroes don't exist because, nobody needs a hero. It is mentally taxing to want to be the hero. Some times i just want to drop all this (metaphorical)armor and join the rest of the world. Unfortunately i can't, hero's complex. A heroes hope is vigilent and eternal. In the darkest hour... blah blah blah. you get the rest. It's like some kind of no escape clause in a contract. Can't go on, but can't give up

A hero's willpower and faith is seemingly endless....
