Heroes (the Pizza Guy)

Most people will begin their posts by saying something about a celebrity or a family member who has impacted them. However, these people are indeed a huge part of my life and influence me a lot, I would like to dedicate this post to my favorite every-day hero. Today, lets pretend that my hero is the guy that delivers pizza to your house. A quick search on google for "heroic themes" led to these conclusions.


Heroes have the courage to keep on trying despite difficulties and hardship.


Heroes take responsibility for their own lives.


Heroes pursue education, knowing that it is a powerful force for bettering their lives.


Heroes try to help other people, knowing from their own experience that help and kindness often matter immeasurably.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A pizza man fits all of these qualities, here is how:
1. Heroes have the courage to keep on trying despite difficulties and hardship. Heros often have to be at a certain place in under a certain time (30 minutes) Most people dont realize the hardships to the trade of pizza delivery. Not only do pizza men have to drive a beat up car that wreaks of pizza and meat. They must also study and know their sectors of the city. Regular houses on streets are no problem, but imagine how hard it is to find one in an apartment.

2. Heroes take responsibility for their own lives. Often times pizza men may seem scruffy and gross on the ouside. Ok, actaully very scummy and kind of rugged to. Lets not forget, this is the man that handles your food, with his hands, and his car. Yay for hygiene! These glory men take full responsability for their job. Wearing a big glowing dominoes sign as if it was a trophy for having a sucky life. They are not taxis, so what good do the signs do anyway? Pizza men are not taxis, and you cannot hail them on the street for a quick snack.

3. Heroes pursue education, knowing that it is a powerful force for bettering their lives. Lets be honest, sometimes a hero is gonna have to go places that they dont want to go. Having an entrance and exit rout for their run down "Gremlin" is a must. By educating themselves on the local "businesses" in certain areas such as downtown cincinnati, one could effectivly lower their chances of getting mugged for their 2 dollars in tips. Once a pizza man goes to a house and the owner opens the door with a gun and pats the pizza man down for weapons. The pizza man is now educated and will most likely never return to that house.

4. Heroes try to help other people, knowing from their own experience that help and kindness often matter immeasurably. Helping people is a good way to get extra tips. Helping someone by giving them a pen to sign the bill, or having extra cash to make change is a great way to make a few extra bucks off a 9 year olds birthday party. Pizza men are masters of their trade. Their advanced vocabulary such as "uh, thanks" and "heres you pizza dude". Completely demoponstrate the inteligence of our country.

As you can see, Pizza men are the real heros of the day. I can honestly say that I dont know what I would do without some 30 year old man in a Ford Pinto to come to my house and give me food that I have no idea what has been done to it. What would the U.S. be without people that do these type of jobs so well?...probably the peoples republic of unified stated....also known as communist.

lets not forget to treat our local pizza guy nicely.
Here is a video about how great pizza guys are..this happens a lot.

Brandon was here..

Blogging huh?..this whole thing is new to me. I have never really ventured outside of the one liner facebook statuses. Born in long beach california, cincinnati was a big change for me. Music comes naturally to me and I love to see one movie at the movie theater per week. So, im usually the one people go to for the reviews on movies. Blogging is gonna have to grow on me because I dont exactly like people to have an inside look into my life. If there is something I want people to know, I will tell them. Its that easy. More things, I play guitar, im a diver at anderson and my post highschool goals include military and then college.
