Top 3 Distractions While Trying To Write This Blog Post

As most would attest, doing homework on a Saturday, or any day for that matter, can be quite the arduous task as numerous interruptions make it nearly impossible to concentrate sufficiently to formulate a sentence that doesn't contain approximately 82 'likes'. This top 3 is the official ranking of distractions while attempting to write this post. The criteria for selection was based upon three things:
-Its ease of distraction
-Entertainment value
-Length of time distracted

Although many minor distractions were thrust into my path as I navigated the treacherous road to blog freedom, there were but a few that stood out as Goliaths among the others. The most distracting of the distractions are:
1. Disastrously Diversionary Domains
2. The Side-tracking Search For Sustenance
3. My Awesomely Awkward Accomplice

We shall begin with the first order of distraction; the disastrously diversionary domains which have also been known to go by the aliases of Facebook, Youtube and AddictingGames.com. The internet ranks a near perfect score on the distraction meter. It is easily accessible because with only a single click I can navigate my already open web browser to any page I wish. The entertainment possibilities are endless yet I chose to remain at a few highly frequented zones and the enticing call of Facebook was too much to resist. Consequently, it devoured my entire spare block in which I was to write this. After that came the undeniable call of Youtube. Uploads such as "I Love My Lips Silly Song" and Weird Al's plethora of parodies are highly addicting and elicit the viewer to replay the video multiple times. Additionally, the impossible quiz, hosted by addictinggames.com, is responsible for the expenditure of a great deal of highly valuable time. The internet, in all its distracting glory, ranks number one due to its ability to waste upwards of 3 hours... make that 4 hours now.

The need for food can become undeniably great, especially after such a strenuous session of surfing. I decided I must venture into the realm of the kitchen on a quest for nourishment and the search for sustenance only ceased with the contented feeling of a hearty meal digesting in my stomach. The making of dinner and the following ingestion of it ranks second in my top 3 distractions. Although the making and eating of chicken chow mein is not an easily accessible distraction, it does prove quite entertaining. The preparation time was approximately 1 hour, but once you factor in the time required for consumption, we're talking about 1 hour 45 minutes. 45 minutes to eat you ask? Yes, this is a reasonable time frame as chop sticks are an absolute must when eating chow mein. Subsequently, it was essential that I perfect my ability to use chop sticks so as to not offend anyone from a country in which chop sticks are utilized exclusively.

My final top 3 distraction is that of my crime-fighting partner, currently situated out of Vancouver. This vast distance necessitated a 47 minute 32 second video call from my significant other which then culminated in the completion of a vital task. It was my mission to search for and then attain a certain mathematical computation program. The 13 minutes needed to find and acquire the software was not a considerable hurdle in my blogging experience, but rather the installation of said program was. During the extraction and installation, my computer requested that it reboot twice. The exponential increase in time loss due to a restart significantly contributed to the overall distraction level whilst writing this piece of explanatory literature. For its distraction and the entertainment value gained during that 47 minutes 32 seconds, this distraction is propelled into the top 3.

For their distraction abilities, the internet, food and my confidente all place in the top 3 distractions while writing this blog. Clearly these distractions are not great enough to
Oooooo shiny!

Superpower

Although many superpowers, such as x-ray vision or invisibility, would be highly useful and possibly profitable, there is clearly a definitive victor when it comes to the realm of imaginary powers. Given the choice of possessing any superpower in the world I would choose the ability of space-time manipulation. Just as Hiro, from NBC's TV hit Heroes, is capable of teleporting from place to place and through time. In addition he is capable of stopping, slowing down and otherwise altering the space-time continuum thus allowing him to maneuver through space while time is stopped for all others.

This power is by far the definitive superpower as it can trump all others. Superheroes and their powers would be stopped in their tracks, literally, if they were to dual with the powers of space-time manipulation. If Spider Man were to fling webbing at me, assuming I had 'the power', I would simply stop time or teleport myself to another location. At the same instant I could simply move through space and easily obliterate my opponent.

Some may argue that invisibility, teleportation or the ability to know everything would be preferred, however, both of these powers can be rivaled by space-time manipulation. Opposing the argument of invisibility is the fact that one could stop time and travel unbeknownst. In order for one to become omniscient using space-time manipulation would take more effort yet is still possible by traveling to all important occurrences and regions. The idea of a superpower that simply allows one to steal other superpowers, like Sylar, is simply preposterous and relies on the fact that you can find these other gifted individuals. This also makes the assumption that there are others with powers of the sort.

This superpower also has many practical purposes including common transportation and time management. Anyone with this power could leave for work at the time when they needed to arrive. As well,there would be no need for planes, trains or automobiles. You could vacation on the opposite side of the world on your lunch breaks or on the weekend. This reduction in transportation expenses would allow one to save a great deal of funds. As a result,not only do you have the ability to go anywhere and do anything, you would effectively 'make' money.

It is clear that space-time manipulation is the ultimate superpower.

For all those asking "Why are you for space-time manipulation when your pen name is Superman?" It is simply because this is undoubtedly the best superpower even though Superman is simply the best looking as no fair maiden could dare resist his fine looks and chiseled structure.
