Who are your Role Models?

Rezident

I'm filling out a serious questionnaire and I have to put down my "major role models" but I'm drawing a bit of a blank. So far I've put down Roy Keane but I'm not even sure about that after all the troubles.

Have I just not had any role models for the last thirty years or so? Does everyone else have role models? If so, who are they?

I haven't had any role models since I discovered that the Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles aren't real and I couldn't grow up and join them in fighting crime

Decided after that major disappointment not to idolise other people/characters and get on with living my life on my own terms.

I'd probably say George Orwell, not only because I think he was a great writer and because I agree with most of his views, but because those views came from genuine compassion for people.
He was also quite brave in being an outspoken critic of the Soviet Union when it was very unpopular to do so.

Wayne Rooney and Nani too, for similar reasons.

What did Wayne Rooney and Nani write, and what did they have to say about the Soviet Union?

Kermit the frog, the stuff he had to suffer at the trotters of miss piggy was nothing less than heroic.

Rooney had some fascinating insights into the Bolshevik/Menshevik split in Inside United, issue 346 (free double-sided Nemanja Vidic/Anderson poster), and Nani's lifesize marble statue of himself, though often held up as a sign of the rampant egomania of the modern footballer, is actually a though-provoking meditation on the rise of Stalin's Cult of Personality as reflected in Soviet propaganda art.

Just lolling: I thought the contrast between Eric and these two troglodytes was wide enough that I clearly couldn't begin to contemplate idolising them.

Where To

When I was young mine were Charlie Sheen, Chevy Chase, and David Icke.

It's quite surprising I've turned out as well as I have.

I know this isn't in the spirit of the thread, but all the people I really admire and aspire to be like are people in my life: family, friends and even people I speak to online.

That being said I have a lot of respect for JK Rowling.

When it comes to musical role models it would definitely have to be Hendrix , slash and tommy Emmanuel . I really look up to their style and feel inspired to play.

Glen Campbell this week, next week who knows, might even be a poster on boards.ie or someone who was encharge of sewerage (next week I'm thinking (tyrion Lanncester) in games of thrones, last week it was M Smith a friend of mine, who looks at life and no matter how hard it is, still gets excited) , I have no idea where my emotions come from that I think he/she is so cool. It's always a surprising development to me.

God I love meeting new heros and heroines. (cause most people are when you meet them) yeah I love people
