The superhero life is interesting. It isn’t everyday that you get to run as fast as the speed of light, leap tall buildings in a single bound, do some pushups with just your pinky finger. And let’s not talk about flight. There is no better power than to be able to fly the friendly skies without having to sit next to “Judy Just Won’t Sit Still” on flight 455 from the badlands.

I had to have been about 6 years old when I first discovered what I can do. It seems like just yesterday, I had just finished watching my favorite TV show “The Greatest American Hero.” After the show was over I immediately hopped off of the bed. Grabbed the top sheet and tied it around my neck. I felt so empowered. So fearless. Soo… invincible.

As I finished my session of jumping up and down on the bed, I proceeded to walk toward the stair case. My chest sticking out so proud, the confidence that exuded from my eyes. Looking down those 14 steps just thinking how so very fortunate I am to be in this position. I yelled out with as manly of a voice as a 6 year old could possibly call to my mom standing in the kitchen and screamed: “Look mom! Believe it or not!” And I jumped down the stair case.

So when I regained consciousness. Realizing that not only did I not have a good landing but that I seemed to have made contact with the iron radiator at the end of the stairwell. Oh the agony of defeat. I cried with an archangels voice “Curse you stairs…curse you radiator.” One day, one day soon, I shall overcome you.” Oh the life of a superhero.

1. I am a workaholic.
2. I am so much of a workaholic that at times I hate the fact that I actually have to go to sleep. So therefore I usually have to force myself to go to bed.
3. That being said though, I always have a good night sleep and I can sleep anywhere and still be fine.
4. I had a major accident almost every year since in my mother’s womb (their car flipped while she was pregnant with me). My accidents suddenly stopped when I was 22 years old.
5. I have really long arms and small ears.
6. I am optimistic about almost everything.
7. I tend to smile for no reason.
8. It is hard for me to take short naps. Once I close my eyes, im out for hours.
9. I talk in my sleep. Heard that I may have a full convo with you but I am still knocked out…lol. (I don’t snore though)
10. I don’t move when I sleep. I visited my sister some years ago and had to sleep on the floor. She said that she kept checking my breathing and watched me the whole night because I didn’t budge while I was sleep…lol
11. I sigh a lot… don’t ask me why, I just do.
12. I barely talk above a whisper. In fact I mumble most of the time.
13. I hate to argue.
14. I like to sketch… although I haven’t had a chance to for a good while.
15. I have been the same size and weight for almost 13 years now. Been trying to get bigger but its not happening in this life.
16. Im not a picky eater. Food is food to me.
17. Im more introverted than most people think. I usually have to force myself to be outgoing.
18. I love to read and study.
19. I used to wear big orange urkel type glasses growing up.
20. I weighed 10lbs when I was born. My mom looked like she was having twins when she was pregnant with me. Poor mommy.
