Who is/was your hero. The person you looked up to?

[boozeboxer]

Mine was Nick Nolte. Even as a child I wanted to have the QuAlities of Nick Nolte. And now I am boozeboxer. And in law school.


I want to know who everyone's hero is, could be your dad, your pedophile neighbor, Kenneth Lay, or Aldous Huxley. It could be a man, woman, or hobbit. It could be the person you have sex with who doesn't tell everyone how bad you are at it.

Or it could be a spiritual figure, although that is cliche. But truth. And if you have more than one hero, please limit it to the most influential (or the one who helped you most at a bad stage in your life.)

Ricky Hatton
My Dad

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

My father... (he got 2 purple hearts in vietnam)

Rocky Balboa... Sounds dumb but true... I tried harder at things to emulate him.(although fictional)

Vinny Paz... Broke his neck and was able to storm back to his winning ways... Always loved him!

[:::PSL:::]

As a kid, my dad. I wanted to be a civil engineer like him. But I already abandoned that idea.

As a teen-ager, Brett Favre. A great team leader.

Currently,... nobody.

My Dad, who instilled certain values in me, not by telling me, but by doing and setting examples.

A guy named Ralph who along with his wife lived next door to my parents. An older guy who served in Vietnam and was the epitomy of courage. The most giving, kind man I ever knew; and also one of the most terrifying when he lost his cool. Went through hell in Vietnam and still kept his sanity. A very sad, sad day when he passed in 2000 after a 3 year battle with stomach cancer. One of the few times in my life that I broke down; a loss that still hurts to this day.


Bilbo; because he talks so much sh#t it is almost admirable
