Superhero in training

I have recently contemplated giving up the job hunt and becoming a Superhero instead. This is in honor of the coming release of Superman Returns ('though I'm still trying to decide whether the movie should generally be despised by me as it can never be the REAL Superman. - it's sad, but I am THAT shallow!).

In order to join the ranks of Spiderman and the rest of the spandex-wearing elite, I will need some training. As everyone now knows, I am currently busy with my soccer practice. This forces me to keep my superhero training units light. As a warm-up, I today performed my very first heroic deed: I brought two tall cappuccinos for my co-workers. You may not see the heroic value in this; not at first glance, at least. You will, however, see it clearly once you hear that I transported those cappuccinos on my scooter! I furthermore did not wear spandex, but plain jeans (and my helmet, of course!). This, my friends, is what separates me from the common old Superhero you know from your Marvel comics and the classic cartoon series. This is what makes me a contemporary superhero....

Tomorrow is the day to move this one step further. My deed then will be even tougher on myself and most probably on those who have to deal with my new superhero-ness: I will get up at 6 am again. God help us all!
