Pirate fantasies....

[fajrdrako]

When I woke up this morning, for the first time in eons it wasn't Clark and Lex in my half-asleep fantasy, it was Captain Jack Sparrow. That wiley, crazy pirate has invaded my subconscious.

I have a few theories as to why - and not just the heroic derring-do aspect, or the charlatan aspect, or the fearlessness, or the witty lines, though all of those things appeal. It's the more primal aspect of a living creature who bypasses civilization. The lure of the abnormal and the unusual. Not defective (at least, not to my way of thinking), but living on his own terms - the beat of a unique different drummer.

And don't worry, I'm not abandoning the Smallville boys, it's just that my imagination (and my libido) is piqued by Jack.
