Super Powers

I've heard the question asked a million times. "If you could choose any super power, what would it be?" There are so many to choose from and everybody has their reason for choosing their favorite. I guess that super powers could be used for good or for evil. The evil stuff just seems way more fun though. What good is a super power if you can't use it for your benefit?!

I guess one of the first that comes to mind is the ability to freeze time. This one would definitely come in handy. You could pause the world and take a little personal time out or use it to have an extra long lunch break. You could also use it to get out of awkward situations. Say you bump into someone you haven't seen in a while and you're looking a little extra bloated that day. They ask you when the baby's due. PAUSE! I'm outta there in a flash! Not before I write "bitch" on their forehead with my lipstick though.

Another good power to have would be the ability to read minds. Imagine the power you could possess! I'm nosey so I'd love to have all that info about what people are really thinking. You'd be the secret keeper for the whole world! Think of the blackmail opportunities! And, no more wondering if people are paying you backhanded compliments. I guess there would be a downside to this one because you just might not want to know what some people are thinking. Oh well, you take the good with the bad.

One of the biggest, I think, is the ability to fly! Imagine how awesome it'd be to just be able to fly around. Think of the time you'd save on your commute to work. And, you'd be saving the environment. But you'd have to be able to fly fast like Superman, no bird speed here. You could fly to different countries and hang out for a while and fly back. Visiting relatives would be a breeze- literally. It would be so neat to be up in the sky all by yourself looking down on the world.

There are a ton more to consider; super speed, super strength, super hearing, the Spiderman stuff.... The list goes on. I know there are a ton that I've overlooked because whenever this question is posed to me I know the answer immediately. My answer never changes because I feel like I have picked the absolute greatest super power ever. Invisibility.

Of course all of my reasons for choosing invisibility as my super power are deceitful. Think about how fun it would be to be invisible! Number one, you could totally eavesdrop! You could just be hanging around somewhere just being all nosey and no one would ever know! You could hear what guys talk about when you're not around or what other people say about you behind your back. You could hang out in stores after they close and try on all the clothes and makeup and shoes. It'd be like the movie Mannequin but without the creepiness of a mannequin coming to life. You could also hide out in a bank and make off with some extra cash. Just think of the possibilities!

Whatever your super power of choice is, I'm sure you've got good reasons. I'm never giving up my dream though. Maybe someday I'll experience the power of invisibility. If you start hearing about Christian Laboutin's walking out of the stores by themselves or banks just missing money you'll know that I've got my power!
