Super Me

We went to see Superman Returns last weekend. Good movie. I like the fact that the producers respected the material. They stayed true to the Superman mythos.

Superman was one of my favorite shows as a kid. It probably didn't hurt that George Reeves looked like my dad.

Some movies resonate with me because of the pull they had on me as a kid. (It's not lost on me that this is one of the reasons they're making the movie today. They're trying to hook people who enjoyed the character as a kid.)

The characters that I loved as a kid still affect me. They touch the spirit of the child I was. The child who was Superman. Or Batman or others. Certain characters live in me, they shaped who I was and who I am.

I am Superman. I am Batman. I am Wile E. Coyote. I am Bugs Bunny. Doc Savage. Sherlock Holmes. Peter Pan. The Shadow. I am Spock.

Who are you?

I'm a ballerina. No particular ballerina, just a plain run of the mill ballerina. I just wish that my body knew that.
