(no subject)
I'm bored and i decided to write down something thats pretty interesting.
Some people ask me why i choose "superman" for almost everything, and why I sometimes refer to myself as superman. well its simple and its very true. being something super isn't hard, we are all super at something, but its something more to refer your self as "superman or superwoman" let me explain why i refer to myself or relate myself to being "superman"
Not the traditional story.
I'm not from a different planet and i can't fly, can't stop bullets with my chest, i can't lift cars up over my head and i definitly don't have laser beams that shoot out of my eyes. even though i wish i did.
Ever since i was a young child i've always wanted to be a hero. i admired my heroes growing up on the comic book pages. Superman was amazing with his strength and his very own history. Green Lantern was inspiring for his will power and his courage. Wonder Woman was just down right sexy and so was Power Girl. (depends on the artist that draws them) Spider-man was humerous in the face of danger. Captain America was the america 50 years ago. and Wolverine was the hero that didn't give a crap what you thought. but one hero that i especially liked was Batman. wanna know why? its simple, Batman is human. he has no powers no special rings, or golden lassos. hes just a millionaire vigilante. why do i like him? because hes the wild card in almost everything. but hes not my favorite and hes not the one that i think i resemble, or even the fact that other people think i resemble him.
Why do I think the nickname Superman refers to me.
I was born on March 25th 1985. many of you know this already. what you don't know is i was an emergency birth because i was in distress. i was a week premature even though that makes no difference anyways, the fact is that i was barely alive because i was about to be strangled by the very cord that gives us all life in the womb. the cord was wrapped around my neck and surely could have cut off my air supply and everything else. but it didn't, the reason why is somehow, a unique ability every living individual has, a survival reflex kicks in. inside my mother's womb i placed my hand between my neck and the cord that stopped the cord from completely strangling me. when i was birthed, my mother gloats that it appeared that i was saluting everyone when i came out. i survived!
I was a normal baby, happy and healthy, i was also rather big. i grew tremendously within the first few years of my life, i was larger then most of my friends, (wish that was true today). and i didn't have a care in the world. i would soon find out that i did. at a young age i was diagnosed with ashmha. a breathing disorder which comes about due to anonomous reasons. but that didn't stop me from doing anything. it was just a deterent factor in almost everything. i never had an ashmha attack until i was in first great, and with all the good comes the bad, i remember going to school and going the whole day with a constant neck pain and a chest pain, i barely ate anything and couldn't drink anything. i came home and literally couldn't breathe. at 9pm it got worse and i was rushed to the hospital. i was given breathing machines and "puffers" it really saved my life. why does this have to relate to my nickname you're asking? well since second grade i haven't had an ashmha attack. its been almost 14 years. again i survived!
What can a little boy do in central new york all year round? play sports was the definite answer. i quickly joined almost every sport there was. my parents were destin to make me a player! i played football, soccer, baseball, basketball, track, rowing, bowling, and my very own sport Lacrosse. each sport gave me new strength and ability. i quickly found out that i was one of the fastest kids around, even with ashmha. Football was a sport for me even though i hated it. i played quarterback for years and didn't like it, i loved to run so i wanted to be a running back or a wide reciever. i finally got that position and it made everything great, but i was the iron man of football too, so i played on both ends of the field. at first i was a lineman, believe that? and again i hated it even though i got to tackle the quarterback. i switched to strong safety, the prime position for me, i was fast and quick hitting, barely anything got past me and i was always looking for the next fast kid. soccer was uneventful actually. i could drop kick the ball pretty far, heck thats easy. baseball, what a pussy sport and god its so boring, but hell i could hit that bar outta the park anytime i was up to bat. ha! track what could you ask for? basketball eh?! i could drive pretty good and i could steal the ball anytime. lacrosse was just the right sport, it gave me the agility that i needed, the strength that i needed, the stamina and the pain to endure. hit good, shoot good, run good, played great! simply i was a renaissance man of athletics and i was definitly was one of the first kids picked in dodgeball!
Pain, anger, sadness, fear, anxiety, love above all drives me. when these factors are contributed to any situation in my life i fight harder and fiercer then ever before, pain i can deal with but you don't hurt me and get away with it, piss me off and you'll deal with a wrath far greater then you think, my sadness comes at a great cost from many broken hearts but i heal, fear i fear many things especially losing those close to me, anxiety its a family trait, and love, love is the factor that moves life and makes life stronger, my love makes me more then a man and stronger then any other man. love is the reason i am the man i am today.
Boyscouts! Superman is referred to as the big blue boyscout because everything is done by the correct order and the correct way. i was in the boyscouts for years. i loved it! i was able to hang out with friends and i was able to learn so much in it too. i learned how to save someones life, i learned how to protect people. its not all about making fire and merrit badges lol. by the time i left the scouts i was a patrol leader, heck the first one elected to patrol leader out of my whole troop. and i led my troop to victory in the boy scout games, we were the youngest troop to win a challenge ever. isn't that amazing? and when i left the boyscouts, which i shouldn't have done, my whole entire troop fell apart. not gloating or anything but i was the pillar that held it together. superman is the main pillar in the JLA when he left the JLA it fell apart, we are very important to many people, like it or not its true. the same thing happened when i left at mcdonalds. Kim lost an opener and had no one to replace me, no one as good. they instead went on a hiring spree and got like 25 new people lol. why did i leave? yeah thats a good question because its foolish to leave things right and its a coward thing to do. i left the scouts because i had no choice in the matter. my family couldn't arrange for me to go, the time wasn't right and i couldn't make the meetings and i couldn't go to planning meeting which is required for leaders. and well mcdonalds, its was the fact that i needed to leave to get more money, i thought i left it in good hands, i left behind the team that i thought could control the whole thing. i quess i was wrong. there aren't days that don't go by that i don't think what would have happened if i stayed, i miss them, i really do.
Weakness? superman has them. he's weak against kryptonite and magic. me, well i'm a normal guy i guess i'm weak to everything everyone else is to.
god there are dates that are ranked in my head that contribute to the most pain, sadness and anger in my life to date.
May 17th 1997. my sister was nearly killed in a horrible car accident which landed her in the hospital for over 2 weeks. that very day the death of my great grandfather happened as well, it was a sad day for my family and a day that i simply won't forget. i was only 13 but i remember being strong and not crying and helping my other sister out and the other members of my family, they were so proud of me for being strong and brave on that day. i just don't forget it, it was 8 years ago but its hard to forget it when you see it happen right in front of your eyes basically.
September 17th 1999. i was a normal guy, i still am a normal guy. just the pain that i can endure now, no woman can possibly think about arguing that i will never experience their pain of childbirth.
March 12th 2003. somethings are left unsaid and somethings are not suppose to be said. some people know about this date. those that were involved and those that i rarely told. let me just offer this one thing to you, those who don't stand up for love, don't deserve it, those who take love away from where it belongs will always lost it, and those who love and embrace love with harness its true power. i forgive people quite easy, and many people know that. however i just won't forgive those 2 people who will remain nameless in this journal entry, for they do not deserve their names in this. this is a story of a great individual by many, they wished to destroy him that very day. and in the face of peril and heartache, i prevailed, i survived, scarred, hurt and beaten, but i crawled then i walked, and now i stand tall above the ashes of that wake.
So where does the "superman" nickname come from? well i didn't come up with it for myself actually. it was actually given to me by many different people. i remember when i was young about 9 i believe, i remember running with my friends at kiwanas baseball field where we raced to the snack bar, i beat everyone there and my friend keith said i was "superman" also he said that he hated me for beating him. years later, i played lacrosse in rome in highschool. i can't fly but that day i did. i'm only 5'7" and then i was most likely shorter. but that day that pass was way over my head, but i knew i could get it, and i knew if i did i could score, and i knew if i scored we could win, and surely enough i got it, and i scored and we won. it wasn't the winning goal, heck it didn't even matter but it was the fact that i did score. and i remember the one kid on the team that i didnt care for one bit said "what are you smithers? superman or something?" the nickname also came from some friends and some ex-girlfriends, some co-workers and some family members.
being super strong or super fast or anything thats related to fictional power isn't what always make you special. its the other things you do. helping people here and there. loving those you hold close even extra at times. bringing the light to the darkness and making sure it remains there. even if people won't remember your name you'll know that you did something and thats all that matters. being a superman or a superwoman is comprised of courage, strength amongst odds, intellegence, generosity, love, happiness, morality and civilry.
so those who wonder why i sometimes i refer to myself as superman, or why superman is always in my profile or whatever, now you know. or even better just ask. i know there are things that i forgot but heck thats a big list of things to write. so this will do for now.
Thanks for reading this, i know its long but its interesting and its something about me that some people didn't really know. and in case you were wondering, i was never superman for halloween. lol.

P.S. my very weakness is my lovely and amazing Stephanie Lauren Wojdyla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! however shes also the very being that gives me strength and power.
