From My Mind to....

I'm A Super Dude Already

DAY 11:  If you could develop any superpower, what would it be and why? If it came with a significant downside or the inability to fully hone/control it (e.g. telepathy that you couldn't turn off, flying but you'd sometimes float in your sleep, invisibility but you had to concentrate to become visible), would that affect the superpower you'd choose? Would you choose to have none at all?

I was always intrigued by Mel Gibson's character in the movie What Women Want?  I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want the ability to read minds indefinitely, but I would love to experience this 'power' for at least a month. 

Yep, Mel gained a power he didn't ask for, and had a myriad of problems coming to terms with his new ability.  I'd like to think I could control such a power, much better than anyone else.  But, of course, I have that kind of ego.  Just like I know I'm a better driver than anyone out on the road. Or, I'm still pretty much invincible when I try new things.  Or, I could straighten out the welfare system if they gave me the opportunity.

Hmmm, maybe this ability to read minds in the proper hands--mine--would get this country back on track.

NOT!!!

Frankly, to paraphrase Billy Joel, I like me just the way I am.
