Hulk, SMASH!

Last night we watched “The Incredible Hulk”.  Originally I thought that it would just be the boys and me watching, but Sam and Diana wanted to see it too.  I really like this movie and I actually liked the 2003 version that Ang Lee did.  Hulk has always been a character of interest for me.  I like the fact that we all have great power and strength lurking within us, but often times we work so hard to suppress it.

The difference between Hulk and other super heroes may be slightly obvious.  Other heroes have an abundance of the nice emotions like love, kindness, charity, etc.  Bruce Banner, on the other hand, has to learn to embrace what some may consider the uglier emotions we all have, anger, frustration and even fright.  He is a regular guy who hates what he becomes when these emotions become overwhelming, which in turn causes him a great level of internal conflict.  It disturbs him so much that at one point he is willing to die in an attempt to “cure” him of his condition.  Towards the end of the movie we see Bruce begin to accept himself as he is and work to manage his Hulk rather than trying to get rid of it all together. 

Throughout the movie we would have little discussions about what was going on.  At the point where Bruce is with Betty and Mr. Blue trying to cure him of the Hulk, Luke made an interesting observation.  He said, “He wants to be able to be himself when he gets mad.”  For some reason that was profound for me.  I think because even a 7 year old can understand that showing our emotions / feelings is a healthy thing, it only becomes dangerous when we let them control us. 

Now that I think about it, Luke is our kid that would understand this concept the best.  

Princess Ball

So Diana went upstairs and got Sam in the tub.  A few minutes later I heard Diana call down and ask the boys if they have seen Sam's princess ball, to which they replied "no" in unison, almost as if they didn't even really hear the question.


For the next ten minutes I hear Diana going through things upstairs, and I had forgotten about the ball.  Then I hear Diana ask Sam where she last saw her princess ball, or something to that affect.


Sam answered by asking "What ball?"

Hot Poopy.  

You may not like it, but that’s Okay.  Let me share a little history behind hot poopy.  I came up with hot poopy long ago when I was about 15 or so.  Figures, that’s when a lot of funny things are incorporated into life.  It caught on quickly and my friends and I were often found amusing ourselves using hot poopy. 

 Hot Poopy is very versatile; it can be used in almost any type of situation and at any age.  There have been times when I have used it while in Best Buy looking at new HDTV’s.  I have been known to bust it out while driving, either in a fit of anger or self congratulation.  For some reason I always feel better after some hot poopy.

You may think that your neighbor who has that really nice car has a lot of hot poopy, they just aren’t willing to share.  Don’t let it get you down, I have noticed that people who are tight with their hot poopy usually suffer in some other aspect in their life and just can’t let things go. 

At one point in my life I was using it too much, it was always there, just waiting, and I learned that other people just didn’t understand its value.  Like the lady in the Taco Bell drive through.  She had me repeat my order after I specifically asked for a number 2 and hot poopy.  After a slight moment of pause, she asked to repeat my order.  I realized she didn’t understand and just ordered a number 2.  That was during the time that I thought everybody knew, I guess Taco Bell lady had not experienced the power of hot poopy and therefore had no idea.  Her day will come soon enough, if it hasn’t already.

If you find yourself upset, offended, disgusted, or whatever because of hot poopy; then I propose that you probably are deficient in hot poopy, you may need to relax and release some of your inhibitions.

So go ahead, even if just in your mind, feel free to use, experience, or share hot poopy and see where it gets you.  This may be a particularly good exercise when you are having a bad day.  Also, you should be cautious of the company you find yourself in if you choose to share a hot poopy.
