Iron Man

        I don't really have a specific favorite super hero, but I had to choose one that I really like the most it would probably be Iron Man. I'm not really sure what the difference between a hero and super hero is so Iron Man could just be a hero, not a super hero. I do not read comics or are a vivid fan of cartoons and super hero stuff but I have watched the movies Iron Man one two and three. They were interesting and I enjoyed the notably more than some of Marvel or DC's other hero theme based movies. It seems much more realistic and possible to me rather than a Captain America, or Wolverine, and definitely much more realistic than Superman and Batman. I mean i enjoyed watching those movies too, but they were not as interesting as Iron Man was. It was a good series, but I think they stopped making movies after the third one, which I just watched this year.
        Iron is based on an extremely smart man who has a hobby of building things. He creates a weapon, but not the type that you shoot or fire at enemies, but a suit. This suit starts out large, heavy and not so good, but as time passes the suit armor is improved majorly from colors, being more lightweight, having new abilities, new weapons, and some other things. In every movie, there's something happening that he has to overcome like fight a boss or something. He has become a super hero by using the suit and also extremely wealthy. Iron Man, also known as the man in the suit, Tony Stark, is young and has a mansion. He is what everyone wants to be, rich and young... and of course have such cool armor and a technologically advanced house. He even has a butler that is named Jarvis that's electronic and basically integrated into his house and all of his Iron Man suits.
       There are three Iron Man movies, based directly on him. Iron man one, two, and three. My favorite movie of Iron Man though is neither of those three, it is called the Avengers. This is when all the Marvel created super heroes get together to save the planet. Some of those heroes include: The Incredible Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America, and of course Iron Man. It was a great movie, definitely worth watching. Tony Stark has a sense of humor even in tough situations. At the end of the movie "Avengers" he flies out of a black hole risking his life and makes it back barely alive, then gets up and acts like nothing happened.
        Tony Stark obviously has no real powers except that he is really smart, a quick thinker, extremely rich, and kind of physically fit. All of his cool powers come from his suit, which has guns, can fly, go underwater, lasers, a navigation system, a phone, and anything else you might need. He is almost useless without his suit, but he is still a hero outside of his suit, and everyone knows.
       Even though I'm not particularly into super hero kind of stuff, I still found the series of Iron Man to be fairly interesting. It was well written ,and whoever the creator of Iron Man was, he was a brilliant man. A great idea, great plot, and just cool in general. The group that produced Iron Man though, is called Marvel. They write comic books and made movies out of certain ones that were more popular. All of the Avenger heroes are from Marvel : Hulk, hawkeye, Captain America, e.t.c.

Seven Sins

                                The topic for this blog is of the seven deadly sins, which I think I’m the guiltiest of. I don’t know the seven sins so I had to look them up. Apparently, the seven deadly sins are: greed, gluttony, lust, envy, sloth, wrath, and pride. I think that if I were to be guiltiest of one of these, it would probably be either sloth or greed. I know that I’m a lazy person, and that’s what sloth is.

                It is hard to get me motivated to do something that I don’t want to do. I know that I’m extremely lazy and try to take shortcuts whenever I can. I know that it is the worst when someone asks me to do something for them, especially my parents. They often asked me to go fetch something for them upstairs. I am lying down comfortably on the couch or sitting at my computer all relaxed and I have trouble getting up. Then I am so lazy that I get annoyed that someone is telling me to get out of this comfortable position to do something that’s not even for me. That’s the worst part. I’m not a coach potato or such. I’m not the type to stay indoors all day. I like the outdoors, sports, and all that but I just don’t like doing stuff that doesn’t interest me, such as getting something for my parents, or doing my homework, or cleaning up.

                I know I’m a sloth but it doesn’t affect my lifestyle a lot. I am lazy but not to an extreme that I will never get anything done. I know my priorities and even though I hate doing something I still do it if I feel like it has to be done. I don’t know if this is part of the sin of being a sloth, but laziness leads to procrastination, and I procrastinate a lot. I always put things off until last minute, the day before homework is due, the day before a birthday to get presents, the minute before practice to get changed, the night before to finish the research paper that has been assigned for the semester. It has gotten me into bad situations being late and losing sleep in order to finish homework, but it has never gotten so bad that it really affected me in a significant way. But once again, there are certain things I know I can’t be lazy with or put off. I have my priorities. I am lazy, but not clueless. Well, clueless sometimes.

                Then next sin I think I would be guilty of more is greed. It’s not that I don’t like to share and keep everything for myself or put my priorities first, it’s just that when I see something cool someone else has, I want it. I don’t think I’m really particularly greedy because I expect most people to do what I do when they see something they think is cool: be jealous and want it! Now even though I want something someone else has, I don’t steal or anything of the sort, I have morals. Greed just seems so natural to me, like it is something everyone is born with.

                Well, those are the two sins I think I’m guiltiest of, more sloth than greed. Neither of these sins take a large part of my life, they aren’t even close to extreme, but they still seem to be part of my life and I can’t avoid it or change it. It’s just who I am. If I could change though, I would want to get rid of my laziness and procrastination. It has got me into bad situations and is horrible to deal with when I’m comfy watching T.V. or have a big assignment due the next day.
