Last week I made a Youtube video entitled, "Lego Marvel Super Workout." This video consists of Lego Wolverine and Lego Dead Pool working out together and facing the troubles that come with being a Lego and getting a good workout. Lego Magneto also makes an appearance as an extra.

The Name of a Superhero
The name of a superhero is extremely important. It has the utmost significance in who a superhero is. Okay, maybe it's not that important, but it is really important. Superman is a great name. It's very simple. It's almost too simple. It's so simple, it's almost lame. Any other similar name like deluxe dude, or ultra guy sounds lame, but Superman stands strong. Of course, to me, there are better superhero names out there. Look at Wolverine, for example. Wolverine is an awesome name. Heck, Wolverine is an awesome word. It just sounds fun to say. And when you look up the attributes of that animal, it describes him perfectly.
There are many other cool superhero names like Batman, Green Arrow, the Incredible Hulk, but I don't have time to go over all of them. Let's just say that my point is, the name of a superhero is very important. SuperJake had to take his time in picking his superhero name. He couldn't just pick any old generic superhero name. He had to do research. In this episode of the new superhero show, watch as SuperJake discovers his name.

How I Met Your Mother is Over
How I Met Your Mother is probably my favorite comedy television show. After Friends, of course. Now I'm not sure where I'll get my comedy from. Maybe, I'll spend more time doing other activities until the next great comedy show comes along... but maybe there won't be another Friends, or How I Met Your Mother. There will probably always be good shows, but I doubt they will be that good.
Of course, How I Met Your Mother had it's flaws. Although, I probably won't mention any of them. I just wanted to write in this post in honor of the great things that I enjoyed about the show. Even though I compare How I Met Your Mother with Friends, there are quite a few differences. I like the unique characters that both shows have. Since this is a HIMYM post, I'll just focus on those characters. Maybe in the future, I'll write about both.
I identify most with Ted and that is because he gives too much too soon. I have done that all too often in my own dating experience. Luckily, I haven't gone to the extreme of blurting out the "L" word on a first date, but I have done what I feel are some pretty stupid things. Although we have that in common, I admire that Ted doesn't have much of a problem initiating a conversation for a potential date. That is something that I have struggled with.
Barney is such a selfish and horrible character, but I see where he came from. That guy took his girl and she broke his heart. I can understand his desire to never take a chance and put his heart out there. All of the selfish and immature things that he did were just a reaction from getting his heart broken. It's something that most of us would never do but there is a small part of us that wants to. A part of us that wants to just give up on the hope of a relationship and become a selfish heartbreaker. But there is another part that convinces most of us not to go that route. I guess we could call that part of us, the part that keeps hope, the "Ted."
Robyn, Marshall, and Lily are also great characters but I think I just want to limit this post to Ted, and Barney. And of course, I want to talk about Ted and Robyn. Ted and Robyn were always meant to be. That's what it seemed like from the start, and that's the way they ended the series. Of course, for most of the series I had just accepted that they weren't going to be together, and it just felt wrong. The way the ended it with Ted basically asking permission from his kids to date Robyn after his wife being gone for six years, all made sense. Everything came together. Well, everything except for the fact that Ted included a lot of crude detail in stories that he was telling his children.

New Superhero Show
Growing up in the 90's, I was a big fan of superheroes. The 90's was a great time for superhero cartoons. It's when they started to get really good. Shows like Batman, X-men, Spiderman, and Superman were the best and paved the way for more great cartoons like Justice League, and X-men Evolution. I've also been a fan of actual comic books, but superhero shows were what got me started.
Now today, I am excited to be in my 20's at a time when superhero movies have really taken off. There are many people who claim that there are too many superhero movies today, but I am definitely not one of them. I don't think there will ever be too many superhero movies for me. I think that taking stories from comic books is like taking stories from other books and making them into movies. And in some cases, the comic books themselves have more depth than regular books.
So what's my point with all of this? Well, with me being an amateur actor, writer, and comic book fan, I've long wanted a way to combine the three. Now with my new superhero show, I can. My youtube channel, superjake88 wasn't meant to house a specific super hero show, it was just named that because I really like superheroes. Now years after naming it, I have decided to take advantage of it. The SuperJake show is taking over the superjake channel, and I hope that you'll enjoy what is to come.
SuperJake is a new superhero show about a confused young man that decides to make himself into a superhero for no other reason than that he just wants to be a superhero. It's a superhero parody of sorts. The show will go through his transformation from a normal citizen into a superhero over a few webisodes, and then we will witness what happens beyond. Each step to becoming a superhero is as important as the last, and SuperJake will find out just how difficult it can be.
