MicroProject 5


For me the most vexing stage of this project was deciding what power I wanted to possess.  Started with wanting to fly, then read people's minds, ability to talk to inanimate objects, then I realized something; life is one big experience.  There are so many things I want to do and it hit me that one major factor stood in the way - money.  So, the ability to create a 100,000 stack of $100 bills when I strike a certain pose (as demonstrated above) seemed like the perfect ability. 

This ability allows me to cover all the necessary life expenses and, therefore, negates all reason to hold a traditional full-time job.  With all this newly realized time I intend to use the results of my power and live life to the fullest.  Each picture here represents a small segment of that life.  I would start by continuing my education (after I pay off OSU of course) through the culinary experiences of food and drink as represented by the beer mug.  Develop an appreciation for beer and eat my way around the world.  The shooting trophy in the bottom left signifies my desired goal of becoming exceedingly proficient with a broad range of firearms across all applications.  Ever since middle school my friends and I have talked about entering the Baja 1000, hence the Mopar car flying through the air top left.  My skills with my dirtbike are never enough to satisfy me, so my superpower would enable me to find the instructors necessary to elevate my skills to the desired level.  For me the snowboard is a personally irritating source of discussion.  The majority of my mates can snowboard, but as I played hockey growing up I naturally break out the skis during winter.  I don't go but two or three times a season and instead of spending them busting up my face on the snow with the board I just continue skiing.  A season long trip to Colorado would be in the cards to enable me to achieve proficiency; financed by my superpower.  I'm a fan of the old-school technology that was present for the World Wars and I love flying.  I would take my ability and purchase a P51 Mustang prop fighter to fly at my leisure.  Lastly, the truck.  As a self admitted bushwhacker (Australian equivalent to country boy), all of these life experiences follow a stop at closest dealership and truck chop shop.  I would take the above 1 ton Ford frame and body, sway in completely modified and built Cummins, bolt on an Allison transmission, and lastly install Mattracks in place of tires.

This is my superpower = the ability to live life on my own terms and enjoy it as much as possible.  Life is short.
