Yes, there are real life superheros out there. They just aren't dressed up in fancy tights, spandex, capes and cool high tech jewelry. Policemen, Firemen, Emergency Medical Technicians, our Soldiers in any branch of the service.  As with the fictional comic book heroes, unfortunately some turn to the dark side, and it casts our good guys in a bad light.

 

Where would we be without our real life heroes?  As bad as things seem often times, we could all be living a major hell right now if it were not for our heroes. I would imagine we'd all be living in a world not to dissimilar to, Mad Max 'Beyond Thunderdome'.., and while that makes for a cool movie - it would suck in reality. It would be a completely dark and totally ugly world.

 

When you look at some place in the world even now, War Lords, rule and slaughter people at will, making the rest of the people in their turf suffer greatly, stealing their food, forcing children to join their ranks. For them such a world of Mad Max, really exists with too few Mad Max,s to make a difference.  And trust me - if a guy showed up wearing fancy leotards and funky bling bling to stop them - the bling-bling guy would be slaughtered.  Its better to send in men who are dressed for the part.  The enemy will not die from laughter, people. It just doesn't work that way.  The U.S., Canada, Britain and select others live in a utopia by comparison, thanks to our real life superheros!

 

SO - next time you see a cop, a fireman, an EMT, a soldier or any one of many real life heroes out there - STOP AND SAY HELLO!  Thank them for being there, and what the heck - ask for their autograph.  They deserve your hero worship more than fake Hollywood heroes. Brad Pitt? No, sorry. He's not a hero. He gets paid to pretend he is. John Travolta? forget it.  Angelina Jole? She looks hawt - but aside from that, she's not a real hero.  Every thing she does makes me question if its for press value translating into a bigger bank account - but a cop? or other real life hero? He or she doesn't have mega millions in his wallet.  They do their job and does not consist of glamor, glitz or mega millions - but a desire to serve the public trust.

 

Do yourself and them a favor - hug a REAL hero today! In fact there should be a National "Hug A Hero" day - and anyone during that time dressing up like Superman to distort the real hero image should be locked up for 24 hours.  Say no to fake heroes - and yes to the real ones.

 

HOWEVER - if I REALLY were to be a Superhero of the fictional kind - GreenLantern is da man! But since that name has been taken, I opt for "Daveman, The Green-Flashlight".

 

By the way - guess who is back? Well, updated at least. I'm just hoping he's back. Kevin-The-One-Armed-Boy, man..., He's one of the three + 1 Amigos (Ktoab, Scott, Herb and Myself) and thats because we gots religious value, something I'm not ashamed of.  I just get ashamed when I slip up.  But this part of the entry isn't about me - but about Baked Chunk: http://bakedchunk.blogdrive.com/

(I made up the Amigos stuff but thats okay - I like it, it stays)
