maybe i am a superhero... maybe i am...


so it's been about a month since my truck arrived. see, when i moved out here to calgary, i left my truck back on the east coast. then i had a couple of suckers drive it out here for me. but after being without my truck for several months and then suddenly having it back has made me feel like i have a superpower. i can go great distances and carry large loads with ease. and i can take others with me.

but i have some very strong feelings about superpowers. i don't think they should be abused... or at least not abused very often. so, as a result, i've decided to only use my new-found superpower for good and not evil. so although i could drive my truck to work, i've decided to keep doing the 7-minute walk. and although i could drive my truck downtown, i'll also continue doing the 15 minute walk. there's so much good i can do - for example, i can drive to a grocery store 15 minutes away and save about 50%. and, i can drive my girlfriend and i all over the place on vacation and trips because it makes her happy. and quite frankly, that's my job... right? talk about the perfect superhero. all i need now is a name.
