The Rock comes to my mind first.

Kurt Angle, as much of a clown as he is.

Paul Walker seems pretty cool.

Vin Diesel is pretty awesome.

'Hero' is a term that can sometimes be brandied about with reckless abandon....

To term someone a 'hero' is a heavy thing. People who give freely of themselves with not a single thought of recognition and/or response, to me, those are 'heroes'.......

People that have left a mark on my life?

Jesus Christ
Pope Pius XII
Pope John Paul II
Princess Diana
the Priests and Nuns who taught me in jr & sr high school
Judy Garland
Carrie Fisher
Lynda Carter
Christopher Reeve
Tina Turner
&
the people I let into my heart

[Sonneilon]

I had to think a little bit about who I admire and whatnot. I feel kinda funny cuz there's no females on my list. I KNOW there are some, I just can't think of them off the top of my head.

Allow me to add Kurt Russell. I've always enjoyed him in his movies.

I do rather like Milla Jovovich. Reese Witherspoon too. I have a lot of respect for Salma Hayek.

Oh, is THAT what we're calling it now?!? ;)






I'd have to say my Hero is my Dad. His mom died before he could remember her and his Father when he was 6. His older sister took care of the family (She was 16, taking care of 6 brothers and a sister!) His brothers had a LOT of problems...Alcholism, drug addiction, domestic issues with their families. Many of them had multiple wives and kids they abused and left. Dad never learned to read and write. He was thrown out of shool in the 9th grade, but he worked hard his whole life. He taught me what being a REAL man is all about....not being tough, not being a bad@$$, but owning up to the responsibilities you create. Putting the welfare of your family above your own comfort. Doing jobs you hate to take care of those you love. He gave me the strength to make it through Army Basic training, French Commando School and Marine Boot Camp, and I never realized it. I never realized how his example taught me how to survive. He never was really harsh or strict on me, and he TRIED to give me everything I wanted as a kid, because he never had much growing up. I grew up hating him for being uneducated and telling me that education was the key to sucess. I hated him for calling me lazy when I wouldn't help around the house and for the few times he couldn't get me what I wanted. I hated him for making me stack wood in the fall and doing my chores....living up to my responsibilities. I grew up hating him for all the things that helped shape me into the man I am today. I have been all over the world, survived in places that would make most people fold and I still laugh and smile about it, all because of the things I hated him for growing up. I only hope my son will grow up to realize, as I do now, that the lessons that do us the most good are the ones that are hardest on us and our loved ones!

I admire that Salma has done quite a bit for not only herself but other people, I guess. Sure, we hear about movie stars who create charities, give to charities and whatnot... But it almost feels like in this Britney/Paris era, it's all about being self-centered. I like that, as a minority (technically speaking), that she is trying to be more than just a pretty face or an actor.

I dunno... It's kinda like the tv show, K*ville. They are shooting down there in New Orleans and they've actually been putting MILLIONS back into the communities down there. They use the local labor and whatnot. While the show isn't anything to most people, I rather enjoy it.
