Comic Book Character for a Day: Who Would You Choose?

Aside

Reply

For today’s aside, I want to pose a question to all of you: If you could be any comic book hero for just one day, who would you choose and why? It is easy to get caught up in who has the flashiest powers, but I am more interested in the motivation behind your choice.

As for me, I would choose Captain America. Even though he has enhanced abilities, he is still mortal and is guided by a very clear sense of right and wrong. What really resonates with me is his ending in Endgame. After everything he went through, he used the opportunity to go back and live a normal life, eventually growing into an old man. I love the fact that he took the chance to actually marry Peggy Carter and have a family with her. That desire for a quiet, grounded life and a family, despite having the power of a hero, is why he is my pick.

I would love to hear your picks in the comments below after you become a member if you aren’t already one. If you are a member and part of my Discord server, feel free to head over to it to share more about your choice and see what everyone else is saying.

My Exercise Regime

I follow a steady exercise regime now of visiting the aquatic centre at Commonwealth Community Recreation Centre every other day as long as I am not working that day. My routine is a simple 20 minutes of jogging back and forth or in place in the deep area of the leisure pool (sometimes I will swim a few laps back and forth for extra exercise), then a 5 minute soak in the hot tub, and finishing with 5 minutes of riding the water slide (walking up the stairs to the top is good exercise!). This can vary by a few minutes depending on various factors, but I am usually out of the pool in about forty minutes at the latest. If you need to get more exercise, why don’t you try it? The water is great for cushioning your joints especially if you suffer from arthritic pain like I do!

No More Lotto Tickets for Me

I have decided to officially retire from the lottery. After a long streak of what can only be described as impressively bad luck, I am hanging up my tickets for good. From now on, I will be investing that six to ten dollars into things with a guaranteed return, even if that just means a cup of hot chocolate to get me through my next temp assignment.

My long-term goals are…

Aside

My long-term goals are simple and personal. First, I want Swagnilla Ice memberships to cover my monthly bills. This would give me the freedom to focus fully on creating content for you.

Second, I’m saving up C$5,000 to purchase a lifetime Paid Memberships Pro Plus membership. This upgrade will allow me to give you a better experience on the blog.

Finally, and most importantly, I hope to one day launch my charitable organization, Project Green Light. My goal is to help others break free from the chains of addiction, just as I have.

A Good Start to the Weekend (and Next Week!)

Aside

Hey everyone,

Just a quick check-in for this Saturday’s post. After doing a video blog on Thursday, I wanted to keep today’s update a bit shorter, but still keep my Saturday tradition going!

It’s been a quiet week on the work front, so I’m really happy to share some positive news. I recently got confirmation from my supervisor at the site that they’re returning to work there, and they specifically want me back! This job is usually 10-hour shifts, and I get paid as a flagger, not a regular labourer, which is great. It’s a huge relief to know I’ll be working this Monday, and it definitely takes a bit of financial pressure off. I’m looking forward to getting things caught up and even being able to do laundry!

It’s always nice when things start looking up.

Hope you all have a great weekend! As you’re reading this, I’m likely out grabbing those free groceries I get most Saturdays, which is another little win.
