I was raised in the era of incredibles. I have a fond memories of super grand, super man, super kid, and almost everything appear on TV has to be crowned as super.
Growing up in such a super environment, considering myself looking up towards Arnold Schwarzenegger kind of super human physique, i actually started to ask myself why in the world incredible hulk looks more impressive then Arnie
As i grow older, my half ass weight training went absolutely nowhere, except pretended to be cool infront of other girls, walking super unnaturally (probably looked like a penguin) as if i have a huge back muscle, i started to realize the super world aint that super anyways.
One of the lifely fact was incredible hulk played by Lou Ferigno actually looks way more massive in the incredibly green skin compare to the living tissue T101 Arnimator. My little super hero mind started to bend and getting serious mind fucked, and always wondering what if Lou Ferrigno win more Mr.Universe.
Comes the age of growing longer hair, spending less time at the gym but going more out to the library and pretend to study whilst checking out on girls, i have totally given up all the super hero hopes. I dont wanna be a robocop anymore. Even if i have the superman laser cutting seed through eyes, I'd use it tok see girls changing.
There's no super hero. I'm done with it. I got a wife, later with a kid, and then another kid, and now they're all grown up. My wife have never been telling me if I'm her superman, nor did she complement me doing a good job doing my chores. At times i just cant help telling myself one fine day if we got a divorce, or if she's dead, I'd better look for a new other half who will take me seriously in getting back into my superman business(to be a supermam).
I'm grateful to have realize, i am already a super dad, a super husband, a super son all by myself. I dont need to be a superman in the TV that can rescue the world. I am the clerk kent of the house that doesnt show my red under wear wearing on the outside to do house chores. I am the incredible hulk, despite i screw up most of the time, but i often help the family to fix most of the stuff which they have no super power to fixed. Now if i have one more super power I'd like to have, which will be the ability to turn back time.
... Till next time
