My brother called last night and informed me that I am Syndrome. Now I had no idea who that was, so he preceded to tell me that my cute, adorable 3 year old niece is infatuated with Disney's "The Incredibles." Well, she was assigning Incredible characters to each member of her family. After assigning all the good guys to her immediate family, she realized that she needed someone to be the bad guy, Syndrome. She picked her Dunkle.
I don't understand it. I always get picked to be the bad guy. When Kevin and I were growing up, I always "collected" the bad guy characters and he always got the good guy characters. The "Master of the Universe" action figures are a great example. Kevin had He-man and all his companions while I had Skeletor and all the bad guys. Transformers were the same way, as well as GI Joe. Now that I think about, I spent my youth pretending to be bad guys intent on taking over the world and forcing thier ideology on others. Is it any wonder that I have a puffed-ego and think if everyone would just do what I say, then the world would be a better place? Is it a mystery anymore why I relate so closely to The Brain from "Pinky and the Brain?" I think not!!!
I am a product of my environment. It was my destinity that all should succumb to my evil, genius. Now, if I can just convince my wife to let me out at night, then the world shall be mine!!!
