Alright… listen up. I don’t usually share this kind of intel, but you people seem to get it. You’re crazy for Tom Cruise — hell, who isn’t? I’m crazy too… but for a different kind of mission.

When I was a kid, I had my own army. No nanomachines, no sneaking suits, just a bunch of scrappy neighborhood recruits and a whole lotta imagination. We didn’t wait for orders — we created the battlefield.

We played Ghostbusters, busting spirits with cardboard proton packs and silly string.
We were American Ninjas, flipping off porches and using broomsticks like katanas.
We ran the streets like The Warriors, rallying in denim vests, dodging rival kid gangs and angry moms.
We had a Breakdancer Unit, spinning on cardboard like our lives depended on it.
We tried being Beekeepers, but… that one didn’t end well.
We transformed into Transformers, taping boxes to our limbs and making the sounds with our mouths — kch-ch-kch-ch!
And of course, we were the Dukes of Hazzard — flying our bikes off ramps like we were escaping Rosco P. Coltrane himself.

That was my early army. No war, just wonder.

Tom Cruise gets it. He runs like it’s life or death. We ran too. From fake ghosts, from imaginary Cobra agents, from homework.

These days, the mission’s different. But I carry that same kid in me. The one who believed he could be anyone… just like Tom.

Stay crazy, my friends.
