I keep waiting for the End of Weekend Blues but they don't come. Because tomorrow is a holiday yay. It's weird. Like Saturday has decided to kick Sunday's ass and take over it's time.

Or something.

I don't know.

I'm tired.
that's your excuse for everything
So who likes Superman? Superman songs? I like Superman songs. My favourite is the classic Superman, as covered by R.E.M.. (how the hell am I supposed to punctuate after R.E.M.?). Especially the chorus. "I am superman, I can do anything". Over and over. Desperate. That's what it is to me. A superhero fallen to his knees holding his dead girlfriend. I am superman, I can do anything. I'm supposed to be able to do anything.

I just feel like I can relate to those words. Not that I'm a superhero (that's my official statement anyway). But not being able to do something that should be so easy. That you're supposed to be able to do. I can relate on a simpler scale. Not being able to go out and talk to people. I'm supposed to be able to do that.

Yes. I like that song. And then last night I heard a new Superman song. On Smallville. It's called Superman (It's Not Easy) by Five For Fighting. It's here temporarily if you want to give it a listen.

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd
But don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
I like that. I like that a lot. There's something nice about falling to your knees in despair. Like in Juletestamentet. It's beautiful.

And Superman is a great figure. If you look beyond the cartoon fun. The loneliness. The hiding. The mask. I do that. I put my glasses on every day and go to work and no one knows me. No one sees me. I don't even want to know what they think about me. They see my wimpy Clark Kent and they have no idea who I really am.

Not that my secret identity is much better.
superplume and the kryptonite
Eh I forget what my point was. I like Superman. I wonder who would win if Superman fought Spiderman?
kirsten dunst probably
Don't ask me to stop repeating myself.

Don't ask me not to repeat myself either.

np: five for fighting - superman (it's not easy)
