Am I a Superhero?
General Post, Uncategorized
OK, admittedly that title is incredibly conceded, but hear me out. If you read any of my posts you know that I have ADD or ADHD. I’m not even sure which one at this point. What I do know is, most people consider ADD a disadvantage. But, this is a common misconception. I am here today to right the wrongs of many and set the record straight. Having ADD is like having an amazing superpower that one must learn to use for the good of themselves. Right now you might be saying to yourself, “Holy Corn Hole Batman!! What the hell is he talking about?” Well let me explain. Take a look at any typical superhero. They all seem to possess similar qualities. I’ll take you though my thought process and I think I’ll have you agreeing with me by the end of this article.
1. Superheroes have secret identities and usually live in New York City. I disguise myself as an ordinary everyday dashingly good-looking ad guy working in New York City. CHECK
2. Superheroes are endowed with superhuman powers beyond those of ordinary humans. If encountered by something that I enjoy, I can switch my brain over to “hyper” focus mode in lightning speed. I can actually sustain this “hyper” focus mode for hours upon hours. Ordinary humans can misinterpret this behavior as compulsive or “crazy.” But make no mistake. This ability is superhuman. So, CHECK.
3. All Superheroes have some weakness. This vulnerability is some outside force that impairs their abilities. I have my own Kryptonite. It’s pretty much anything that talks, moves, squeaks, involves organization or boring stuff. CHECK
4. Superheroes have really cool gadgets that help them out in tough situations. I carry around a secret potion. I nicknamed it “Ritalin.” When activated, it generates a force field protecting me from evil forces. CHECK
5. Superheroes protect the general public from harm. I do my best to protect us all against deathly boring advertisements. OK, that is a little weak. But no question I got 4 out of 5! That’s a solid case for being a Superhero.

This is great! Looks like I’m a superhero too!

Yay! The world needs more superheroes and fewer boring advertisements.
But wait, all the superheroes are in NYC — none in, say, Texas, or the suburbs?
I agree with everything you said… except that Superheroes live in “Metropolis” … a sister city to NYC… located somewhere near Gotham.
Great analogy… I’m just glad I’m not AquaMan.

HAHAHAHA. Thanks man. I never thought about myself as a superhero, but i have to correct you because real superheros lives in Gotham city.
Good laugh though.

I see I came in on this late in the game, via Jeff’s blog.
So, if what you say is true, I, too, can consider myself a superhero? How does that conpare with being a genius? Which is more fun? More useful? Easier? Which one has more status?
I can’t figure it out, and it’s starting to bother me. If there are any superheroes in the area, please, help me out with this one.
I agree you’re a Superhero. There actually is a song that tells a story about a Superhero who is, let’s say inattentive. But the sad thing is, nobody knows he is a superhero, people just see that “he seems to be late” or “his mind is elsewhere” or so…
