Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.netTangerines and Stupid Pills to SwallowIf only there were pills to dissolve emotions like little granules of sugar that dance the short-lived dance along the smooth bottom of a tall, clear glass. If only I could be seen through, not invisible...which wouldn't be all that pleasant of a super power anyway, and held like the girl/woman I will always make sure to remain. If only lips had the power to plant the coppery seeds of persuasion and destiny amongst others, especially those with whom value is shared. If only I saw how life is dandy when you live your independent life, not combined with another's. If only my definition of failure didn't linger next to the pictures of the brokenhearted or the ones who get hit with plump red tomatoes as they exit the stage...its to your right, you dweeb. If only I knew why I test the raging waters, expecting them to be placid and strangely cool for such a hot, humid June. If only my smile, my laugh were a secret...spoken only loud enough for the crickets to swoon but softly enough for my dearly departed to gain back their sense of taste...the taste of tangerines...and they would smile...Oh, Dear how they would.

Heroes are virtually non-existent in most societies this age. They are few and far between, I am certain that even most of those few are hardly ever recognized as such and are probably too humble to agree and even recognize themselves as such. Altruism is the purest form of heroism. Some people have an agenda, some are only trying to get themselves secure, but few are willing to save a stranger for the sake of life itself.Then there are personal heroes. Mine are my Boomama and Great Grandma, Momma, Mom, Dad, Sisters, the friends who've listened and provided, and my husband...You show me the light in everything, even the would-be enemy...whatever it is tomorrow.If I have to pick a Fictional Hero than I choose Batman because he is mortal and mortals are capable of mistakes. I like a hero with some flaw in him/her.
