Dispensing with any belief in the supernatural is my special power. I just don't know enough history to predict the past with that much accuracy - but I could certainly do better than George Bush and others!

I have the ability to send messages back in time to myself. Usually, these pertain to something I should do to cause the status quo.
An example might be a message I receive to get my cell phone out of my pocket b/c my g/f is about to call. As soon as I do, she calls. Then I always remember to send the message. (If I forget, then I don't receive the message and a temporal double loop occurs which casues the event to not heppen the first time, and then actually happen the second time with me remembering to send the message. In other words, it's physically impossible for me to receive a message and then forget to send it.)
This all means that I can quasi-predict the future. Why only quasi? I don't receive message that don't get sent. Ergo, I cannot predict my own death or similar things like that. I can also lie to myself to prevent something from happening. If I receive a message to pick up my phone, and no call comes in (rare) then that means the message was sent either inadvertently (yes, it does happen) or as sort of a drill. Inadvertent messages are always fun... lol
I guess it can best be described as a spider-sense about the future. Need to work out the bugs, though.
The name of the ability is conscious reverse-temporal homotelepathy. (ho mo TEL e pathy)
This might even be shortened to temporopathy. (tem POR o pathy)

I would love to bring Imran Khan back if I were a Pakistani. He is my childhood Idol. I imitated his bowling style, hair style and runup when I was in Class-5. He was too good a player and captain. Since I am an Indian I would love to have the greatest team player of all time Kapil Dev for purely the reason being that this man never ever played selfish cricket at any stage of his life nor did he show any favoritism to any player belonging to any region.

I can take the most delicious meal and within a few hours turn it into vile smelling waste.
I can make my television turn on/off, change channels, and get louder or softer without touching it.
I am able to communicate with you using nothing more than a typewriter keyboard and this thin television screen in front of it.
I can turn water into urine.
I can utter a few words in a certain order and cause you to laugh.
I can toss something straight up in the air and then make it switch course and descend back down to Earth.
Bow before me!

Maybe you just happen to have what we call MEMORY.... anyways... You asked what is MY "special power"?...
I happen to have at least one I guess if you categorize good memory as one...
I am also able to answer any question about life.... even though I might not know the right answer... lol... I still give it a try... is that a "special power"? or just arrogance? lol....
Anyways... I am thinking about another power... you know what... I can be able to shift between being totally sad and depressed and almost starting to think life isn't worth it to total happiness... If I need to be happy to make somebody else happy or need to show strengh or a smile to raise somebody's hope I will do so even though I was in pain and depressed one minute earlier.... is that a "special power" or just compassion towards others? I try to give the best I can about myself to others... always trying to help even though I might not have the exact answer I will give it a try...
I think being good or trying to be it shouldn't be seen as a "special power" but it surely would be even more special than flying or being invisible or made out of steel.... People do not need to be a superman or psychic to save the world or at least to save a person's day.... Show a smile to everyone out at the street and you will be a hero among all of us...
Smiling... just another great "special power" we can all engage...

Live in the moment. It's the only one that exists. But even as I send this it becomes the past...
