I have a very fertile imagination. Fantasising about being a dictator has recently become my latest pastime. It’s topical when your job hunting in the day and following the Arab Spring in the evening. After running several scenarios I’ve decided maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to sign up for some therapy as soon as I can afford it. Don’t get me wrong, I do want to be the ‘good’ dictator but it turns out that’s a catch : As long as people do whatever I want, however I want it and whenever I want it, everything will be fine. simples. (I actually did say that once in a relationship context)
I’ve also noted that once superpowers were thrown in ( usually Magneto’s), that’s when I start frothing at the mouth and go nuts BUT at least I wasn’t in it for the money, which is odd being almost broke at the moment. I would have thought I would be in it for the money. Or maybe for me its power first and money second? I will never know cause I’ve never reached the end of any fantasy. Usually I shake myself back to reality as soon as I start to twitch and break a sweat. But I’ve seen enough of the fantasies to say that I wouldn’t be very sophisticated. I wouldn’t dance on snakes heads, Ill stomp them, then shoot them, then hang them on Bab Al Yaman’s Gate as a lesson (shaking of head). I would be very hands on.. No delegating to the inner circle cause there would be no inner circle, especially since I have superpowers. I want elections with a minimum of two candidates NOW. I want the electricity back on NOW, I dont care if you hook urself up to a treadmill and start generating it: DO IT NOW OR I’ll MAKE UR LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING.
Postscript: See what happens when you start something and forget to finish it on time? This was going to go and illustrate how we are all little dictators in our heads but I forgot how i was going to argue it.. but thought ill publish it anyway for the sake of amusement..
