wowowow

That last post was LAME. I mean wow, i'm a geek. So anyway it's sunday afternoon, last night we went to the cavern club which is actually pretty awesome on a saturday night you can see how those guys make their money, i could hardly move in there.

Anyway, i wanted to post this, a paragraph i wrote eons ago on why clark kent is a sucker

"Nietzsche famously disliked the Greek god Apollo whilst admiring Dionysius, the reason for this being that Apollo was seen as a Superman-esque figure (obviously not to the ancient Greeks) and Nietzsche thought that it was useless to aspire to be like Apollo. It was much easier to aspire to be Dionysius, a fat orgy-loving alcoholic.

It's this logic I have used to deduce that Clark Kent himself, is a sucker. If we take another hero to compare supes to, such as good old Spiderman, we seem to see the same sort of pattern emerging. Superman is a clean-cut jock type who has the ability to fly, have laser eyes, pleasure Lois Lane, run faster than a speeding bullet and be mistaken for both a bird and a plane all at the same time, how could we ever aspire to be that?! Spiderman, however, is a slim, geeky, bordering on insane-type who spends most of his time talking to himself, put aside the comparative strength of a spider and whatnot and you are left with a exceedingly average chap. That's something I can aspire to be.

Although of course saying that Nietzsche's theory allows me to aspire to be normal would have greatly angered him. More suckers will be brought to the public's attention soon!"

I think I had a pretty good point. although my 'logic' was somewhat flawed because, let's be honest, spidey is probably pretty exceptional himself.
