A myspace OC quiz: "You can be very sarcastic but you're loved by the people who matter. You know just what to say to cheer up your friends."

I am of the view that such modern heroes are the archetypal formation of our psychic yearning and zeitgeist. This is the classical fusion of Maud Bodkin's theories and Josh Schwartz's representation of popular culture.

We can be heroes

The intellect of man is forced to choose
Perfection of the life, or of the work,
And if it take the second must refuse
A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.
William Butler Yeats
