I Need A Hero



You know how a song can get stuck in your brain? No matter how many times you sing it or listen to it... it just seems to linger? Well you got it! I have Laura Branigan ringing loud and clear in mine this morning!

"I need a hero 
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast

and gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon 
And he's gotta be larger than life"


I guess it is not a bad song to have stuck in your head...it's better than Yellow Submarine! Right?

 I am not surprised at how this song has lingered... I randomly made a joke the other day stating "I need a Hero" and apparently the music God's decided to have some fun with my sense of sarcasm. It has though made me stop and think. Do I really need a hero? Is that what I am looking for? Holding out for...

It's no secret, I'm single. Not by my choice but this is how fate has dealt my queen of hearts card. There is nothing wrong with being single although being doubly yoked would be my preferred status... but we will leave the "cracked shell" jokes to another story! 

It's also no secret, I do like my guys larger than life and I do seem to give them a status which they don't deserve. More than often they have a secret life, an identity crisis and they have the ability to vanish into no where! Mind boggling isn't it? LOL Nonetheless, I suppose I am searching for a hero but what does that mean?

I find it so ironic, many a man can be honorable and brave... stand in the front line and take enemy fire, be maneuvered through the worst conditions, be sent to ungodly deserts and or given horrific assignments but yet will run and take cover from a woman who he has proclaimed his love. Someone please explain this to me? Again mind boggling! 

I am NOT a big bad scary woman!

I am not one of those dainty flowers that need to have a barrage of security around to protect me. I am usually not in a position where I need my honor defended either. Although, I do like to be sheltered under the arm or hand in hand of a gentleman while out. It is the big and strong type that gets my ... oh well you know!

I would guess too, if a man would want to take part in a chore around my house, I'd be more than happy to send up a flare, place a banner on a plane and proclaim him a hero for the day for everyone to see the terrific act he performed... I am not the handiest woman when it comes to things falling apart in my house. I'll let you in on the secret, my house has been opened to you... Do you think I let just anyone in? It was your big and strong and knowledgeable ways that rescued me. That is a very admirable trait!. How can you fault me for that?

I am more than capable of working and earning my own wage!!!! I do not need someone to pay my way nor do I want to be "kept"... but hello have you not read the front pages of every periodical. The world has turned upside down. Jobs are not being handed out on silver platters. I am doing what I need to do within all my super "mom" powers to keep my world from turning inside out... but if you have offered to help I would be more than delighted to serve you a meal on a silver platter fit for any King, God and Hero...(that brain you used to help me figure this out needs to be nourished) It is what I do to repay the act of kindness. You had saved me from the moment and yes that does make you my hero! I am not good at fighting off and being so quick to anything...

Look I can't help that I just have it in me, this grand desire to play dress up and house. What woman doesn't want her man's chest to be pumped?? (even if its just ego) so she can run her hands across his body when ever she wants!!. Are you in a coma, have you not seen any "super" hero film??? You don't need to wear a cape... but I will if you want! (wink wink) LOL

There is a trade off in every super hero story line... the guy who does have a super pseudo image does serve and protect and pave the way for everything to be ok and in return the gal is forever eternally appreciative, grateful and offers her undying love.

 The kicker in this is, the odds are, she ends up saving and protecting him from not only the outside elements but usually from himself! So really?? Who is the real super powered being here?

So there ya have it... If that is what I am looking for than so beit!

 "I need a hero 
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon 
And he's gotta be larger than life"

Larger than life
