WELCOME TO THE DAILY PLANET
WELCOME
to the
DAILY PLANET
Dateline - Metropolis: Welcome to the City of Tomorrow people. It's a gorgeous day here in Metropolis and as I sit here in my new cubicle at the Daily Planet, I feel I need to send a shout out to the guy who helped me realize what it is I should write about.
See, blogspot was a real problem for me. I look around at my virtual blogspot buddies and everyone has a PURPOSE. It's about their artwork, their writing, their companies, or in the case of TitsBitches...a guide to internet shenanigans. And I found myself wondering what I could add to the blogspot community.
As I pondered my worth in the digital age, I looked out the window and saw something. At first I thought it was a bird, but it was too fast. So maybe a plane? And then with a slap to the forehead I realized where I was. I was in METROPOLIS! And it was the blue boyscout himself, Superman. Off to save the day once again. And with that, I had my answer.
I'm gonna write about heroes. But not just the ones in tights and capes (although they'll be here too). No, I'm gonna write about the people that are heroic in little ways. the one's who amaze by inches instead of leaps and bounds.
Because we live in a world that, let's be honest, can seem PRETTY shitty sometimes. And it's really easy to decide that the world ISN'T a comic book and people don't do amazing things.
Well fear not true believers. Because the heroes are out there. They just don't usually wear capes. Sometimes it's just the guy at the checkout counter who let's you slide a few cents so you don't have to break the dollar. Or maybe the lady who let's you cut in line at the grocery store because you have two items and she has twenty. Whatever it is I'll find it. And you'll hear about it.
Welcome to The Daily Planet, where writing about heroes is what we do best.

My vote for your first "hero" story: Your Mother. The woman is a SAINT. The 4 minions of hell that came out of that poor woman's uterus, mixed with the results of what they've become is worthy of ANY superhero mythology.
Oh the joy that must be part of her everyday life now that the suckling piglets have flown the nest.
Mama Vogel, you are MY hero!

Love the topic for your blog.
I’m curious though, when you say "inches" are you referring to the hero's height? What if they are really really tall? Can tall people be heroes too?
We must come up with a logo for these heroes. Maybe put it on a pin and distribute them when we see a heroic feat.
This blog has existed for about 12 hours and look-- it's already an a-hole covention.
You must be proud, Mikey.
...with the biggest a-hole of them all commenting above me...
"TTBitches: Taint a Hero" is Mikey's inaugural tale, I hear. Should be a winner.
I think it's clear so far who shouldn't be getting a hero pin. Geez, what a bunch of F-bomb nay-sayers.
You're my F-bomb hero, sweetie.

A real hero and friend would come over and feed my cat instead of making me do it. Where were you during my time of need?

Dan, the day you get a hero pin is the day I poke my eyes out with a hot, dirty, pox-ridden poker. What, for the love of g-D have you done to deserve this so-called "hero pin."

I stand corrected. Give Dan the Hero Pin he deserves.
I propose that a hero is not defined by his actions but by those who believe in him. Christ had his apostles. Beowulf had his bard. Neo had his Morpheus.
Regardless of deed, a hero is someone who affects the lives of others such that they are moved to loyalty, love and/or inspiration. There can be no hero without a being to believe in him.
Heroes are made, not achieved.
I know many heroes.
great idea for a blog! Celebrate the little acts of heroism! The world needs this. I think you're a hero for having a blog dedicated to this sort of over looked heroism! Hooray!
