Marvels
Number one thing to be Paranoid about today:
1) Wall clouds, occulation, and tornadoes.
Number two thing to be Paranoid about today:
2) Developing superhero powers, and not being able to control them. Then, enduring the alienation and ostracization of the human race, trying to win them over by saving innocents, and still having them scorn me because I'm "different." Finally, encountering my archnemesis and having to destroy him once and for all, being debilitated by some sort of unlikely superpower debilitator, and still beating my archnemesis, though not without having to sacrifice the life of a close loved one. A bittersweet victory, complete with dark and mournful funeral, after which I must fake my own death and attempt to rebuild my tortured existence elsewhere, trying to forget the past, but eventually called back to the scornful eye of the public by my overwhelming sense of duty. I'll probably start leaving little signs of my having been at the scene of some crime, like a white rose, or a candy cane. That way you'll always suspect it was me that saved the day, but you'll never know for sure. That is until I become my own personal "photographer" and begin trying to reclaim an honorable identity for myself by putting out a flurry of positive press. And the controversy begins again...
Alright. I've been reading "Marvels" (Kurt Bursiek, Alex Ross). I should have been reading "On Revolution" (Hannah Arendt), but if you think about it for an inordinate amount of time, the two are not so far apart. That at least is what I have been telling myself.
Number three thing to be Paranoid about today:
3) day old sushi. What's the shelf life on that shit?
Number four thing to be Paranoid about today:
4) I can't feel my fingers. Is this a symptom of some kind of flesh eating parasite that lives in day old sushi?
Number five thing to be Paranoid about today:
5) Tornadoes? I look at the live doppler every ten minutes. No, my life is very interesting. Why do you ask?
