In the million parallel universes inside my head, each features a version of me exactly as this plus one superpower or an incredible skill that I have practiced the necessary 10000 hours. A trigger on that one cell in my body which transforms me into a cross between Hermione Granger and Lara Croft.
I am so unsure of what super-power I want, I just pick from a random list. Time travel comes a close second. I desperately want to go back in time and just see the world as a mute and invisible spectator. It’ll be fascinating to learn and find the answer to how did we evolve into such an awesome and messed up race.
I wouldn’t mind experiencing life as Matilda either – one of my favourite characters in literature 🙂 Having her gift will make life infinitely more colorful! Or maybe, I would want to be exceptionally hypnotic and be able to read people’s minds/emotions. But I assume it will get very noisy. Keeping track of what goes on in my mind is bad enough, let alone what is happening in others’.
I have no idea what is first on my list. I think incredible fitness, where I am bendy and strong like those warrior princess… yet so smoking hot that I have extremely able and handsome men vying for my hand. Even if there aren’t any men, I would love to have the stealth and cunning to get myself out of the trapped room in a matter of seconds without an eyelid out of place. But… Waffles and Nutella are extremely close to my heart along with lazing with a dog to sustain THAT life.
ORRRR …. Maybe the ability to listen to what the animals and trees and birds are talking about! And be able to talk back. Yup… That is nice. I wouldn’t mind that one. Works fine with Nutella.
I am keeping that as my desired superpower till I cook up another one. As of now, thinking about potential superpowers seems to be my existing superpower.
Enough about my superpower! What about you? Do you have one already or dreaming about a particular one? Jotted for the Just Jot It January 9th prompt, brought to you by Erica over at 20/20 hines sight: “Power.”
Lots of good ideas here. Communicating with animals would be nice, then we could tell the bitey bugs to go somewhere else and call the butterflies.

First oF aLL Prajakta ..
i admire your wisdom
in the realization that Super
Powers truly do take literAlly
thouSands of hours oF practice..
to come to fruition
in every
day
DanCinG
and SinGinG
liFe i miGht add
in Steps and Words
too but suReLy you alReady
have seen online wHeRE i AM
CoMinG from noW.. WiNks.. my goal
wasn’t to be named a legend beyond legends
for a simple 6666 mile public dance for 40 months
but never the less the thousands of hours of practice
all NaTuRaLLy led me to that legend compliment about 18 months
or so into that endeavor juSt for fun.. pretty amazing reAlly.. considering
i was a virtual shut-in like the Hunch Back of Notre Dame with no hope at
all of doing anything much more than making it to death then.. for 66 months..
ReAlly.. while most of the people
around me in day to day work
life in my late twenties.. close
to the age where you
are at now..
asked me
after earning
three college
degrees..
why am i
not making more
money in my ‘mundane’
job in a TV Show Happy
Cheers environment oF A Navy Bowling Center
worker dude then.. per.. everyone Knew my nAMe
as the ‘Norm’ then as the Bowling Alley guy all around
town too.. as the go to guy for rental shoes.. hehe.. and
yes.. a face full of sMiLes that i carry on in the dance hall now..
all i really wanted to do was develop my creativity as i seriously
couldn’t write more than a firstly.. secondly.. and thirdly list of technical
fActs as even eventually getting paid to do that too.. in later government work..
and dance.. back then.. heHe.. more like
a robot than
a ballet
and
martial
artist then..
and no creativity
at all if i ever had to combat style..
defend my male self esteem then..
thing is my friEnd.. it’s not easy being
A Super-hero and i say that with all due
humility of playing the role of the Hunch Back
of Notre Dame first.. to truly let my Super Hero of
Creativity out.. meant totAlly getting separated from the
social bonding force of the heard of herd of liFe.. is it worth it..
yes.. but
not so easy
all the time my
friEnd as the fACt
reMains i Am STiLL
A Social Animal with no escape
for the Nature that says hold hands
in some way with the rest of Nature..
alWays been easier for me with Sand and Sun
so
i sand
and sun
on my FriEnd..
sure.. at the tale
beginning and end noW stARt..
of 12 million wordS online.. too..
as that was a New Year’s resolution
made decades ago.. fruition now.. come.. big
dreAms.. big croSSes.. big liFe to ya too.. my friEnd.. Prajakta..
as ‘they say’.. too..
go all
the
way uP..
the most amazing
thing of all my friend
is i never made a Washington
Dollar or Lincoln penny in
my way of doing
iT Up
and
haha.. i got
just the theme song
for this Micro-Verse of
i F iN did and STiLL do it my way…
a high
way
that works
for me @leASt..;)
HeHe.. bet ya did’t know you would
actuAlly be interviewing a ‘Super Hero’ today..
and seriously i’m not kidding.. after being a hunch
back of Notre Dame for 66 months.. i let out audible
giggles when young men passing by in their hot rod
cars yell out Legend to me.. on their way to the dance
hall after i get out of my
Honda Civic..
as ‘they’
say
Horatio
and all of that
to the naysayers
of life who don’t
believe
in the
magic
and miracles
oF liFE my FriEnd..
don’t lose the MaGiC
