To Develop: Blog 365 Day 36 – Clark
By Jiddoe S'Phatt
Warmest greetings! My name is Jiddoe S’Phatt. Welcome to day
36 of “To Develop: Blog 365”.
Inspiration to write comes from a number of places. For this
blog I’ve been inspired by hip-hop artist Rick Chyme and producer
David K. Manley of Man@Work Productions. Through a collaborative project
titled #DailyPieces365
these two artists will release a new song every day for 365 consecutive days!
Their impressive dedication has motivated me to write a new blog every day of
2018.
A little piece of me goes into each entry I write. I hope
you enjoy this one!

Sometimes I didn’t hear my mother. Sometimes I didn’t hear
my grandmother. They could have been calling me at the same time and I wouldn’t
have noticed.
When I was a child Superman got my undivided attention. If
he was on television, in live action or cartoon form, I was oblivious to
everything going on around me. That included my mother and grandmother asking
me questions or commanding me not to sit so close to the TV because it would ruin
my eyesight.
The Man of Steel was unquestionably my hero. I wanted
nothing more than to have his ability to fly, to be super strong and fast, and
to frolic through my everyday life wearing a cape. Oh, I also wanted his power to
attract girls with the greatest of ease.
Superman could stop anything but kryptonite. My weakness
was drawing unwanted attention. Regrettably, my female peers had no problem exploiting it while
pelting me with insults. I was quiet pervious to pain.
As much as I so desperately wanted to be Superman, I was
more like his awkward alter ego Clark Kent. At least that’s how imagined people
viewed me. And there was no fancy spandex suit and cape hidden underneath my clothes to
change their impression of me.
