I read a few blogs and lately, all over the blogosphere, I see more and more people losing their interest in blogging.

I do not know if it's because they have nothing left to share or because they don't want to share it any more, but they just stop.

When I started blogging, back in 2009, I found out I had somehow lost the peak of the blogging, the hype had passed they said, blogging wasn't the thing, it's was just a thing. And yet, for about two strong years I had it. Things were happening. Things were being written. Satisfaction was given. There was enjoyment. And then...no more.

For me, the last 2 years and a half have very much been the height of blogging. And it wasn't just because I was writing but because I was reading too. By reading I felt inspired, I felt I was part of a something and I felt the need to write some more.

Now I don't know if it's just me, or it is their influence, but I, just like most of my blogging stars, have lost it.

It would be horrible if this isn't even my own feeling, but what if  ...?

...how about the power to move you?

there's this [...]zine I read sometimes that has a permanent column: the 60 seconds interview.

It's pretty boring and uninteresting - mainly because of the people that are being interviewed, but there's this one question that always intrigued me and made me think of a perfect answer many, many times

if you were a super hero, what would your superpower be?

This is a difficult one and, as I said, I've given it a lot of thought but never could come up with a decent answer (read: one that would make people go wow! that's a good one)

..until a few days ago! Yes, that's right, the code has been cracked, the biscuit has been dipped in tea, the cat has eaten the gold fish! for I, I have the answer.

You ready?
If I were a superhero my superpower would be ...to be illegal!

Ge-ni-ous, you say. And I agree :)

You may ask yourselves though: what does this mean? What kind of superpower is this dear N?

And I would answer: it is both a power and a curse my darlings, for with great powers come great irresponsibilities!

The principle is simple: whenever there's a law to be broken, I'll do it. I don't want to do it, but I'll do it.

I will

  • cross the street on the red light and at crossroads
  • travel without a ticket - bus, tram, plane, train, donkey, sardine can, you name it
  • ride my bike on the wrong lane
  • wine&dine without paying
  • mess up the lyrics when singing the national anthem
  • walk around butt naked - this has solved the costume problem
  • not work for the money my employer is giving me
  • loiter on the park benches
  • kick stupid people in the face
  • and generally kicking and beating everyone who deserves to  - by my very own high standards
  • smuggle Kinder Surprise eggs in the U.S. of A.
  • steal candies from babies (is this illegal? if it isn't at least it's morally wrong which is almost as bad as being illegal!)
  • and many, many more bad, illegal things

which I don't want to actually do, but I will not be able to help myself because my superpower forces me to do them. Aaaand I will not get arrested or held responsible. Never. No matter what.

How about it?
