Hulk

You know, there are times when something just clicks. Heart and I were discussing this weekend and the overloads to Spirit's system and she expressed herself this way:

"Some days it feels like we are living with the Hulk."

Truer words were never spoken. Here we sit watching every move Spirit makes. Wondering if the wrong expression will turn him into the raging Hulk. It's interesting, the parallels are uncanny. Bruce Banner is a mild mannered science guy with a pension for keeping calm in extreme situations. He dedicates himself to a regimen that keeps his other self at bay, all while trying to make sense of a senseless world.

Spirit is exactly the same. There are times when I can see in his eyes that the Hulk is bubbling below the surface, threatening to lay waste to whatever he can get his hands on. One false step and Spirit becomes a big green rage machine. Eventually the Hulk calms down and we can all breathe a little easier, but for a certain period all we can do is wait him out. But I like Captain America in the Avengers can get very simple, very easy commands into the rage and help him to come out of it. Sometimes I just want to look at Spirit and say: "Hulk, smash." I mean why the heck not, sometimes in my life I'd like an excuse to go nuts just because.

So you go Spirit, and just like the Avengers, Heart and I will take the good with the bad, because eventually Bruce Banner learned to control the other guy and then he became an unstoppable force for good, and I think your worth the wait.
