Hey a new beginning requires a new journal, this journal may read somewhat like a comic book so bear with me, it is just going to be my attempts of putting my daily successes and failures here in a way that i am hoping will be easy for me to write and have fun with.

Geez Jel.. I've got my eye on you....Just making sure you behave yourself.. ROFL <img src="graemlins/laugh.gif" border="0" alt="[laugh]" />

Chapter 1, A New Beginning

Jason was a normal average kid at one time, but he was abducted by aliens as a small child and experimented on with various "advanced" technologies. They made him physically stronger but emotionally he paid a great price, and an adverse side effect the aliens hadnt planned on devolped as he grew. The experimentation left him with a severly slowed metabolism. Now a grown man he suffers from sever depression because of his vast size, but he has vowed to overcome his plight and fight the evils of the world at the same time! Thus a new hero is born! He is The INCREDIBLE BULK!

Ahhh Jel, your sense of humor is firmly in place!! Good job! <img src="graemlins/star.gif" border="0" alt="[star]" />

Darkness is all around, a gigantic void of nothingness, clinging to every hope and dream. An oozing sesspool of despair and self pitty, fear and loathing, a cutting and searing pain like a white hot knife driven into the heart. Such is the plight of The INCREDIBLE BULK. Yet one small glimmer of light can be seen a slow warming feeling begins to permeate the BULK's mind and body. It is the realization that he can break free of the dank dungeon he is imposed in. He can hear voices it is the gentle beconing of his compatriots his fellow members of the DT LEAUGE. He knows in the cloudy recesses of his mind that he is wanted and needed. The only sounds to be heard are the snapping of chains and the screeching wail of tearing steel. The light is brigther, warmer, almost blinding now it is the light of hope. The BULK rips the iron door from its hinges escaping the prison the demented DR. D.Pression has put him in. He races down the corridor in search of his captor bent on wreaking havoc and destruction first and asking questions later. <br /> <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Jason, I'm so happy that my voice, calling your name, finally penetrated those thick, thick walls of your prison. Happy that you were able to escape.<br />Now don't go looking for that nasty man, that Dr. D. Pression. Wreaking havoc and destruction will only lower you to his standards and you're way better than that. Instead, run to the light. Everything you will need is there. Motivation, understanding, friendship. So start running my friend, I'll be waiting for you.

Angie

Jel you may consider yourself the incredible bulk.. Incredible you are but deep down inside there is this soft hearted caring person.. a person so desperate to reveal himself...and you know something you want to lose the weight and you want it bad.. You are incredible enough that you will achieve that goal.. Please stay with us and let us guide you cheer you on to victory each and every day.. BAD days included...I would like baby to do the same...WE aren't here to be judgemental we are here to help you...God loves everyone thick or thin and so do we...

Just as the BULK reaches Dr.D's secret lab he hears the voices of his fellow DT LEAGUE memebers begging him not to lower himself to Dr.D's level.<br />Confusing thoughts swirl in his mind love and compassion verses anger and vengenace. A tear rolls down his cheek. He knows his friends are right and in his heart he knows what he must do.<br />He opens the door to Dr.D's lab, looks at Dr.D and utters three simple words. "I forgive you".<br />The Bulk turns to leave and Dr.D pulls out his temptation ray and blasts Bulk in the back knocking him to his knees.The Bulk tries to get up but Dr.D jumps on his back knocking him back down and shoots him point blank with his Diet Defeater Repeater. With each new attack the Bulks only recourse is to forgive Dr.D, In his mind the Bulk is concentrating on the words of hope and encouragement offered by his friends. With a renewed strength and vigor the Bulk powers his way to his feet, grabs Dr.D's weapons of self destruction and smashes them into a million pieces. Dr.D can only cower in disbelief as the Bulk turns and makes the long journey home.

Don't look back Jel! The only thing you'll see is me clawing out the Doc's eyes! <img src="graemlins/heart.gif" border="0" alt="[heart]" />

Jason, you're coming home....You're almost there. I'm stretching out my hand....Right next to me, there are some more people reaching out and oh look, there are Jamie and Ashley as well. You have so much going for you.<br />I'm glad you did forgive that Dr. D. <br />Although he would be easy to hate, hate eats your heart away. Forgiving him is the only thing to do, it will give you peace of mind. It will finalize this period of your life. Onwards we go...

Angie

And Jel when you return home I want to be the first to greet you at the door with open arms...To allow you to sob on my shoulders and share you victory with you as well as the others...

Hi Jason,

Thanks for stopping by at my journal.

You have an imaginative way of expressing yourself. Here is to breaking free of the dungeon in 2002. Each step is an opportunity just waiting to be seized.

Go, Jason; GO! Bad Kitty and I may be angels, but we just did some devilish things to Dr. D! Don't look! Just keep moving forward. We will surround you and keep you safe!

Lynn
