*This is not an ARG/360/Evolutions post* Back on 25, September, 2006, something fantastic occurred: the world was formally introduced to the phenomenon of Heroes. Of late, this incredible show and experience has come under fire from critics and others. Given the state of the world as it is, we need Heroes now more than ever. We not only need an escape from the everyday but also an inspiration to try and fix the world around us, even if it's only one small step at a time. Chances are most of us will never fly without a plane, read minds, hide in plain sight, or move an object by our mind's will alone, but all of us have our own unique gifts and talents. Heroes can inspire us all to use these gifts. I'll say this much: Heroes is the only reason I actually look forward to Mondays. I won't tell you it's perfect but even with all its problems it's still the best show on TV. I don't know what these Neilsen folks are watching but I can tell you I'm not watching what they are. Why should this small percentage be allowed to jeopardize what I love and make time to watch live and
then rewatch via DVR? Maybe they are among those that have given up
and don't have any hope. If that is the case, I feel sorry for them.
I submit they should suspend their disbelief and tune in to Heroes. Maybe their outlook will improve as well. The bottom line is: we need Heroes.

I was up in rural northern New Hampshire, driving in a snowstorm. It
was mild at first, then it became a nasty blizzard, full blown
Nore'Easter. My car conked out and I couldn't get a cell signal. The
only useful thing I could think to do was stay in my car as at least
that provided some shelter. I don't know exactly how long I was there
alone but I recall Claude showing up. He came and sat in the car a while
and talked with me. He had a few sarcastic remarks regarding the fact
that I didn't have any proper survival gear ("Mobile? fat lot 'o good
that does you, if you can't get a signal.") and the fact that I'd gone driving in the middle of nowhere during a storm ("Just askin' for it aren't, you?") but he kept me from freaking out. Then Claude left, saying that he was going for help ("Stay put will, you? You
wouldn't last 5 minutes out there.") At some point I passed out and I
vaguely remember EMTs and a chopper arriving, but Claude was nowhere to
be seen. I thought, as I faded in and out of consciousness, that maybe
I'd just hallucinated him being there until I came to in this hospital
and caught a TV news report of this local farmer from the area near
where my car had broken down. He was saying how some tough looking
bearded stranger with a funny accent had shown up and told him to call
911 and to send them to where I was. My mother was at the hospital and
I recall her being there as some tech put in an IV and it hurt
something awful and I think he collapsed the vein. I remember telling
my mom that I wish my dad wasn't retired as I never would have felt it
if he'd been putting a line in. Then I woke up. What it's supposed to
mean I'm not sure. I'll say this much: I know better than to go for
long drives in a blizzard, ergo it's gotta be symbolic. ETA: Maybe it's nothing but since late last night I've had an old 60's song stuck in my head. The song is called "I'm Your Puppet," and it was first released back in 1966. I haven't heard it recently and the only reason I know it at all is because my folks have a tendency to play oldies stations that cover from about the late 50's on through the very early 70's.

This morning I had a rather odd
occurrence; usually when I have a dream that repeats, it's not in the
same night/morning. I've yet to figure out what it means as it has to
be symbolic.
I dreamed that there was this compound rather
like a five star hotel with everything necessary there but luxuriously
so. It was all specials living there and I know I saw Angela Petrelli,
Nathan Petrelli, Matt Parkman, Ando Masahashi, as well as Claude Rains
and I. Nathan came in wearing a s nice suit but he was disheveled and
had stubble as if he hadn't shaved that morning and had spent the whole
night out partying and Angela, who was in charge asked him where he'd
been the night before. An argument in sued and Matt, Ando, Claude, and
I left the area. We wound up in this indoor pool area and someone had
let in these baby sharks form another section. I wasn't too keen on
them and sensed they might hurt us and said so. Matt sent them back
where they belonged. Then I had a vision, symbolic, where Angela was
still arguing with Nathan and said that she'd bought back this fellow
Adam Monroe and his wife and that she was going to be placing them in charge.
Adam I know actually is dead and it's not the type of death that is
reversible. He was also glowing in my vision, as not the "happy glow"
but the light up a dark area glow. Claude had noticed me going into a
trance and I could hear him tell the others to be quiet and then he
began to ask me about what I was seeing. Somehow I knew that what ever
Angela was actually up to, all the specials were in danger and needed
to leave the compound. Matt somehow got the word out to those who
needed warning and the 4 of us left the compound. Claude and I stayed
together and we wound up in this bizarre garden with gigantic plants
including huge flowers. We found a huge flower that looked like a red
rose and his inside the petals. Then I woke up in another dream. Claude
was at my apartment and I was telling him about my dream. Then I
actually did wake up. I was up about 20 minutes or so and when I fell
asleep I had the first dream again.

Well they used some of my questions again:
Excerpt:
"Tarot has a couple questions about The Hunter:“The Hunter obviously hates Specials for some reason. Will we be shown why this is so?”Kind of. The Hunter is a complex man. We’re gonna learn a whole lot more about him next week.“Do
the Hunter and his operatives now have access to the Company's records
or just the comparatively small packet that Nathan had handed to the
President?”Are you
reading our mind. There will be more on the hunter and whatever
happened to Primatech this next week. “Cold Wars.” Coming soon."
You can read the whole article here.

It's now 16, February 2009, and it's Christopher Eccleston's birthday. Happy Birthday Chris! (wherever you are)
If
you stumble across this journal post, Chris, I wish that you receive at
least as much happiness as you have brought to so many others.
