my cousin brother who goes to princeton pursuing a math major.

Most artists, expecially Kazuki takahashi and my art teachers.. :D

Serk Tankian, Lead singer for SOAD, Axis of Justice leader, Poet, Song writer

Definitely NOT Mr.T foo. :D

I've never had any role models. None that I can think of, at least.

So what are you saying ? You'd rather be a guy ? :D

So what are you saying ? You'd rather be a guy ? :D </font>[/QUOTE]LOL! I think Miss Blue admires them about something else. And I don't think she included gender.

Don't have one, if anything, it would probably be writers like Brian Lumley and R.A. Salvatore.

I've purposely never had heroes or role models, and I'd never want to. What's the point? The best you're ever gonna be is second. No, I'm my own man.

I think it's good to have role models (NOT heroes!) for characteristics of yours that need work. There are a lot of my characteristics that need work so a role-model is something to aim for. Then there are some that don't need work so I'm my own role-model for those.

Mine would have to be the rythem and lead guitarists of Metallica. James Hetfield's (rythem) creativity with riffs and lyrics are 2nd to none in my book, and Kirk Hammet's (lead)solos are nothing short of incredible.

Gandhi.

or are we're talking living people only here?
If so it's my former German Teacher

So what are you saying ? You'd rather be a guy ? :D </font>[/QUOTE]<font color=pink>hehe, not at all!
See, I want to do what my dad is doing (flying for FedEx) but I'm going to get that job by doing what my brother is doing (flying for the military).</font>

I have no role models - other then possibly myself ;) .

SERJ Tankian! If he's your role model then spell his name right... ;)

I don't really have role models... I have an inner ideal I strive to become. So perhaps I'm my own role model.
But alright, I'll humor you for a moment. Can I pick fictional characters? Irina Derevko from Alias, Jahiera from the Baldur's Gate games, and Aunt Amy from Daria. Oh, and George Carlin and Christopher Lloyd.
I'll let you all figure out who they are and why I want to be like them.

I look to myself as a role model, bloody easy to meet expectations there :D

Aye me too! I suppose we both like to be number 1!

hmmmm...my role model? definately Ben Wallace and Sean Connery...how could you not love them

I sure hope you don't have the same haircut as Ben wallace. :D

Mine would be David Beckham. :D

I might sound a little unserious now but...
Bruce Lee

Erm... Saddam Husein? :D


Ronaldinho.

Buddha, my bro, and my art teacher. She's psychadelic.

My role-model? I'd have to say Jesus Christ. Christianity, it's more then just a belief, it's a way of life. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Jesus.

'nuff said

My father, and I've told him so (which made him tear up, not something he usually does).

He's always put his family first. He's never been a "typical" dad. He was a stay at home dad before that was the trend. He'd see me and my brother off to school every morning and be there when we got home. He would take us on camping trips, such as Watkins Glen. He took us to Niagara Falls when we were little (and I now live near it). When I was eight, I wanted to be in Girl Scouts but when we went to sign up, they told us there wouldn't be a troop because they couldn't find any moms to sign up to be our scout leader in the area. As we were leaving, my dad took one look at my sad little face, said "Come with me" turned back around and told the lady if they were ok with a Dad instead of a Mom, he'd volunteer to be the leader. I was so happy, and he was the best scout leader I'd ever had. He made sure that every week we had some craft or activity to do and that we learned music, horseback riding, did voluteer work in the community and always had fun. It's twenty years later, and I still remember all of that fondly.
My dad had never finished college and was always taking jobs with long hours and low pay, but still always found time to spend with me and my brother (my mom was college educated and had a better job, which is why my Dad could stay home with us). When I went off to college, my Dad decided he'd give it a try to. Not only did he succeed, he was on the high honor roll, got a scholorship to a prestigious college here (RIT) and now has a degree in mechanical engineering.
If you couldn't tell from my long post, I love my Dad, and he's who I look up to most in the world.

To all of you that admire someone you know, take it from me, TELL THEM. They probably don't know and it would mean the world to them to know it, and sometimes it can make a big impact on their feelings about themselves.

I admire you Harley. :D

That's just because you think I have beer [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Sorry, just chocolate!

...Food for thought, thanks.

...keep 'em coming! :D
