Real Life

Someone close to me suggested I actually also write about things that I have been through in my life *cough*mysister*cough*, all of the ups and the downs, the happiness and the sadness, so I do this now with this very post, I will still continue to post a day in the life but my real life is also my life and I think if i wrote it all down it will give me some piece of mind. I'm not normally a blogger about real life things so I will do as best as i can with this and I hope people can one day come  here and read of my journey through my life thus far, and the reason I took to the whole fantasizing about becoming a superhero and the creation of this very blog, I hope you all stick with me while I lay it out all for you as it comes back to me.

There is a lot to write so hopefully people bear with me here, so I'm going to start at the beginning.

I have always been a big guy as far as I can remember, and I was reasonably happy with myself at the time, everything was perfect grades 1 through 4 were pretty good, well as good as they can be for a kid, but hey at those ages we just let them roll right off our backs, up until the beginning of 5th grade.

There were some days that might have been more rough then others so let me jump back quick to 4th grade and tell you about the day I was walking home from school and ran into a girl who's brother happened to be my one of my best friends at the time, Gerald Frantz, I asked her why I haven't seen or heard from her brother for a long time and why wasn't he in school and I received a relatively big shock when she said my brothers dead and she proceeded to call me a bad name because I guess she thought I  was messing with her but it hit me kinda hard and I didn't want to except it so I kept telling myself he moved, but deep down I knew this wasn't true, as a kid dealing with something like this it can be relatively hard, I imagine it was even harder for his family but it still hit me pretty hard, up until this point I have never talked about Gerald to anyone, he was the kind of kid who was so easy to get along with, he was funny and smart and knew what to say when to say it, Gerald always had an oxygen tank with him with tubes leading to his nose to help him breathe, I knew what it was and what it was for even back then because he was open about it and answered questions if I ever happened to have any, and we quickly became friends, I'm still not sure what he had or maybe I just forgot but I still think about him and the friendship he gave me even now.

I was 13 or 14 and going into middle school, it was D.H.H. Lengel Middle School in Pottsville PA, and right away things were different, everything was harder, which was to be expected, and I remember almost receiving an award in 5th grade for perfect attendance but I actually got sick and missed out on that, that first year seemed to go pretty well, I didn't like doing homework and there were quite a few things I didn't understand sometimes, but I never actually asked for help and I realize now that I should have because it caused me to flunk 5th grade and I had to redo it all over, I'm a shy guy and I have always had trouble talking to people and it has always been a problem, I had a lot of friends in the first year of 5th grade, even ones who I decided that I would look out for, there was 1 in particular who was a pretty good friend, his name was Robert and he was on hand crutches to walk, I saw him getting teased a lot because of it and that's when I started stepping in, I would put myself between him and the kids teasing him and make them go on their way, like I said i was a pretty decent sized guy even then so I guess I used it to my advantage.

Throughout my entire time at DHH Lengel everything seemed pretty good, I became friends with alot of good people whom I happen to still be friends with to this very day, 1 in particular I am now living with in saint clair (Jim Kreiger), I was wearing a superman shirt under my normal shirt the day I decided to mess around with Jim in english class, I kept looking over at him and shoot a middle finger his way or a weird face and I guess I pissed him off because he wanted to fight me after school so I showed my superman logo underneath my shirt and he laughed, I never did fight him after school and it was a long time until we actually talked after that, but now i'm living with him in an apartment in saint clair with him, its funny how things play out sometimes.

To get back on track we need to skip ahead to 6th grade when me the big guy started to get bullied and I refused to do anything about it back to the kids doing it, apart from telling my parents of course, but no insults, crying or doing anything of that nature back to any of these kids, I just kept taking it and taking it, and then took it some more, and that carried all the way through to high school.

I think thats all im gonna write for today ill post more soon.

Train Derailment

I just got back from helping a train derailment in philly, happened early this morning, it was a freight train but 7 of the cars derailed and all the cars were empty at the time, nobody was hurt, but myself and other heroes showed up to help out as best as we could, now if your expecting a package to be delivered today, it may be affected by this derailment depending on where it was coming from, all train lines are currently shut down and cleanup is underway, when myself and others arrived, it was a complete mess, but luckily as I have said the cars were in fact empty at the time and no one was hurt in this derailment, the safety of others is our number 1 concern and trains should be back up and running soon.

Its A Dark Day...

I feel like I have failed everyone who was hurt in russia this past week by the meteorite that exploded over the skies, when I first heard of the meteorite on its collision course, I immediately sprang into action and started to make haste towards russia, on the way though a few other things were happening, and I still thought that I would make it in time, but I did not.

Meteorites leave a certain level of radiation when they start to enter the earth's atmosphere, it gradually starts to dissipate, I think the radiation level on the russia meteorite was higher then normal and that is why it exploded into so many fragments, or it might have been the intense heat, either way I could not make it in time and for that I apologize to the people of russia deeply, I did however manage to take care of any other residual meteorite fragments that could have potentially impacted with this planet, there was a larger fragment in space that could have cause an E.L.E. (extinction level event) so I did manage to take care of that, but I will never stop being sorry for all the people hurt in russia, it saddens me greatly that I was not fast enough to help in time, I hope they forgive me.

I will be watching the skies more carefully from now on so this does not happen again, it would be great if I could meet up with my other fellow superheroes so we can arrange a night watch on the skies.

I do this because the world needs something or someone to have faith in, giving people hope is the only thing that keeps me going.

Been Awhile

It has been quite some time since I last updated, things have been rather quiet lately, most of the crime around has been small issues that I decided to let the police handle, of course I still managed to show up just to make sure things went alright.

Tonight will be one of my longest patrols, as I have decided to expand my patrol area, I am going to patrol the entire state instead of just the half like I normally do, will take a bit longer as I have said but in the end I will be helping more people that need it.

I have also heard of more people coming forward with super powers, so i'm thinking that if I could get in contact with some of these guys we could possibly work together and cover a wider patrol zone, we could continue working together and quite possibly form some type of team where we can all tackle big things together, ill update more on that as it happens.

I will try and update more often, but as I have said its been slow, but ill update anyway just to keep you guys informed on whats going on.


SuperTom-

Just an update..

Ok so yeah things have been relatively slow lately, my guess is that its getting too cold for crime around here so it slowed down significantly, which actually frees me up to do other things..

for instance, I play world of warcraft and as of right this second I just informed my guild about this blog and that it was me the hero in their guild, now I would mention their name but for fear of my enemies tracking me down or trying to hurt the guild I wont for those Special kind of Saucey reasons.

So yeah its been pretty cold lately, almost makes me want to stay in, but I need to keep patrolling, it is my duty, I will be out patrolling tonight in 30 degree weather, hopefully my cape keeps me warm enough..

Moving On

Last year I went through a very tragic time in my life, something I was not expecting had happened, and there was nothing I could do to fix it.

You all probably know a story about a young Clark Kent who lost his father to a heart attack, well very much like Clark Kent I lost my father the very same way, and like Clark and his father, we were very close. I was devastated when I heard the news of my father's passing, I began to blame myself for it happening, thinking I could have done something, even though in the back of my mind I knew I could not, the more I blamed myself, the more I retreated into myself, I was lost, I was going through the motions of every day but I was not there.

It was the rest of my family and friends that gradually started to pull me back to reality, constantly reminding me it was not my fault and there was nothing I could have done, its been a year and 6 months since it happened and it is time to let go of the past and instead of blaming myself, to forgive myself, and tell myself it was not my fault, it was time to become the hero I once was, the world needs heroes and I couldn't be much of a hero with a heavy heart.

My father wanted me to be the best person I could be, so I will not let him down.

Hope

I haven't always been a hero, it was only recently I decided to show my true self and start helping people, the world needed a symbol, the world needed hope.

Being a Hero isn't about being able to save every person from a mugging, or pull someone from a burning building, but to give people hope.
