Superman origins

I simply must tell a very serendipitous happening at work...

A guy came up to get a library card a couple of weeks back. He was easily the tallest and most buff guy I've helped in a long, long time (perhaps ever). His hair was jet black and shiny, with one loose curl gracing his forehead. He wore black plastic eye glasses with oddly thick rims. His shirt (with ripped sleeves so you could eye the guns) was in the style of Hispanic tattoos, with words like "Justice" and "Truth" done in jagged cursive around elaborate scrolling. In the center - the familiar red and yellow S symbol.

The application didn't say "Clark Kent" but there was no denying that this was exactly what he was going for. The glasses were the clincher - they were so extremely stylized that I found myself wondering where he got them. I really wish I could get a pic of him. The only things holding him back are the fact that he's not fair skinned (and, judging by his surname, at least partially Hispanic - more power to him) and his various bicep tattoos, none of which are Superman related, and all of which look rather crudely done. Intriguing.

I saw Mr. Kent a few days later wearing a plain red shirt (again ripped at the sleeves). Last week, he wore another Superman shirt. And today, while walking to a public computer to check the LoT, I saw him at his own station. I couldn't help but notice that he was looking at some MySpace page (perhaps his own?) that was covered in Superman photos and red and blue, as garish as any MySpace you've ever seen. I sat two stations away and considered typing this very post...but decided it was quite possible he'd notice the word "Superman" on my screen with his amazing vision.

Did I mention that all this makes him extremely hot? I usually don't like muscled guys, but yeah, this Superman thing is pretty sexy. Where did I put that billowy blue nightgown....

Can you read my mind?
