Avengers Assembled

  • Iron Man: A most flawed character and yet the one I identify with the most. From the alcohol, the deflection with humor, the PTSD, and the cocky genius.
  • Captain America: Stoic to the point of hard headed. The uncompromising person whose ideals I wish I could live up to but my pragmatism won’t let me be.
  • Thor: The spoiled kid who had to be taken down a few pegs. I’ve known this kid but I wasn’t friends with this kid. Funny though!
  • Black Widow: The girl that never got her due in school even though she was the best person in the bunch. You could always count on her and I eventually would date and marry her.
  • Hulk: My ID in my early 20s. Raging with anger, self-loathing, testosterone, libido and devil-may care attitude. It would take two decades to tame this beast.
  • Hawkeye: The best friend you took for granted because you knew his big old heart could take it.
  • Nick Fury: The bosses that pushed you and sometimes broke you.
  • Ant Man: He’s Paul Rudd man! I mean…he’s just Paul Rudd.
  • Star Lord: Man-child. Mostly all the guys I pledged and was in a fraternity with.
  • Black Panther: The contemplative leader. The man who thinks about the wake his actions may create.
  • Doctor Strange: The no-nonsense engineer. Willing to do the research that I won’t do.
  • War Machine: That friend who will call you out on your BS but will always have your back.
  • Winter Soldier: That guy in HS that you were tight with but lost touch after graduation. Then you met up again on FB and picked up the foolishness many years after you were kids.
  • Okoye: The one in the office who knows her worth and makes no qualms who knows it. A proactive ally and a formidable foe.
  • Captain Marvel: The girl in the yearbook who was chosen most likely to succeed and she did and then some.

De Escalation – Tensions are high but they could be diffused more often if we had a better outlook.

Hugo was an angry young man in Los Angeles during the late 90s and 2000s. Luckily his anger didn’t land him in serious hot water. Now at 40 plus years he has rethought his approach to dealing with situations where tempers are flaring and how that could impact the lives of his kin. Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated.
