The Long Road

07/25/2003 Archived Entry: "Fantasies"

Every day as I cross the Holland street overpass to the TransitWay I think that it would be super-cool if I could float down to the bus station. Not fly, but more of a chest-first slow descent. This little day dream probably stems from my laziness and the fact that I have to walk down a flight of stairs to get to the bus stop.

If I could have any one power, it’d unquestionably be the power to fly. One thing about flying though, if you could fly really fast (lets say 100km/h) you’d probably have to wear some protective clothing to prevent the wind from tearing away at your skin.

Something I’d like to see, and this is a little bit more morbid, is a vehicle rear-ending a stopped vehicle at full speed. This recently happened with an OC bus and a chevy and it was a horrible accident. Aside from all the death and pain, it’s something I’d probably be interested in seeing. This somehow plays out like a SuperDeformed cartoon in my head.

More Star Trek producer fun, this time from IGN FilmForce:
‘Braga and Berman still insist that the show is not stagnating, and that its creators are not to blame for slipping viewership. What is responsible? "Don't know," says Braga. "Don't know."’

ST is filled today with meaningless plots that are based around violence...there no longer is a lesson being learnt...

As for superpower...healing factor for me!!!

The lesson is: "violence is the solution". But for the show's ratings/quality violence really isn't the solution. ho ho!

I think that its really been dumbed down to try to appeal to the "mainstream" and lost a lot of its core audience.

fuck you, woot.net. okay, whatever

i'd want to be able to fly also. fear of height? gone, if you could fly. knowing that you can control, or stop your falling would makes heights seem like nothing
