Superpowers Like A Leaky Faucet

Don't underestimate me.  You have no idea what I'm capable of.  Those are the words of someone on TV just now.  Makes me wonder just what she is capable of.  You know, like that thing where you tell a person you can't do that, and in that very same second the wheels in your head begin spinning thinking of ways you can.  Is that the trait of a genius?  I hear Thomas Edison didn't like being told he couldn't do something.  We don't usually hear much about how many things he did that failed.  Genius?  Maybe, maybe not...  Stubborn for sure.

Stubbornness can be good at times, I suppose.  Like this crappy movie I just watched.  Surely someone told the director how stinkin' lame that movie he made was.  It would have been better if he had just scrapped it all and tried something else, but no doubt his stubbornness made him some money and simultaneously wasted x number of hours in each life of the person that watched it.  Yeah, I watched half of it.  I'll never get that part of my life back again.  Good thing I don't have the motivation to find out who produced and directed it and demand my time back.  Good thing I'm not THAT stubborn.  Or maybe I am.  Don't underestimate me.  You have no idea what I'm capable of!

Heh, famous last words there, I'm sure of it.  After all, what am I capable of?  Pushing the button on the ol' clicker?  Finding me a different kind of lameness to waste my life on?  I am stubborn you know.  Mostly not in a good way.  Kick it harder, maybe it'll magically start working this time.  Kick it again.  Didn't work that time? Again...  Is it going yet?  Does it work now?  Oh, if I'd tried a different approach I could have saved myself a lot of wasted time and effort.  Work smarter, not harder they say.  Sure, ok.  Why can't I work smarter and harder?  Get twice as much done.  Kick the efficiency into high gear, you know?

What is there left to say?  I feel motivation to write sliding down the slippery slope into the pit of...  the pit of...  I don't even know.  Something's sapping my abilities.  Ok, who brought the kryptonite?  Leaping tall buildings in a single bound!  Why?  Because I can.  I'm Stubbornman!
