Maahes: He who is True Beside Her.


I was talking to ‘J’ (the boyfriend) last night about what he’d do if he ruled the world. I’d been reading a blog post about the same topic and I was curious as to what he’d think of first. I was expecting one of the usual answers; World Peace, end all wars, abolish famine. You know, general, greater good answers.
No.
He broke the stereotypical answer and replied with “I’d make an awesome pc.” I’ll admit that I laughed but it got me thinking; What would most of us do if we could rule the world/ have 3 wishes?

The 3 wishes one is usually the most common one where people opt for the greater good because you have 3 chances to change the world. You can choose to end wars, stop famine AND have World Peace. ALL AT ONCE! But how many people can stand there, with their hand on their heart and say that those were the things they’d wish for?

I couldn’t. Maybe I’d wish for one of those things, but there’s that selfish part in everyone where they want something all to themselves. I spe
nt quite a while last night thinking about what I’d wish for if I had 3 wishes (the whole “I wish for a million wishes” isn’t an option. Let’s just say this metaphorical genie in the metaphorical lamp isn’t that good). Here’s what I came up with.

1) I’ve had this obsession recently with Dinosaurs coming back so my first wish would be just that, to bring back the dinosaurs. Not in the whole ‘Jurassic Park’ kind of bringing them back where everything goes wrong and loads of people die. If I could bring them back, I’d want them to be small, like maybe, a T-Rex being the size of a Pug (dog). That way, I figured a Velociraptor would be roughly pocket size and I could take one to work and let it run around the desk.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’d be my first wish.

2) I’d wish for an endless supply of money. And this isn’t another selfish reason. Well, it is to an extent. I figured that if I had all this money, whatever I didn’t solve with the last wish, I could donate loads of money to, thus stopping it that way. Plus, I want to be able to but all the Steve Nile and Ben Templesmith graphic novels whenever they come out.

3) Lastly I’d wish for World Peace.

By this time, I reckon the metaphorical genie would be dead and I’d be all out of wishes. Sure I’d have killed a genie but the world would be a much better place.

A small sacrifice if you ask me.

P.S
I've been asking a lot of people about this post and so far I'm not getting the responses I'd have expected. My friends are really breaking the
stereotypes at the moment. So far I've had various sex acts mentioned, Global domination, super powers etc. Dinosaurs have popped up a few times but hey, Dinosaurs are fucking legends, who wouldn't want to bring them back in the could? I mean LOOK...

He looks like he's begging. Or admiring your figure in that dress. You'd totally have one if you could....
