StreetScooby 5 #1 October 5, 2005 I grew up in a fundamentalist christian family in the deep south. So, Jesus Christ was my role model until my junior year in college. It was about then that thermodynamics started making alot of sense to me. Then, in graduate school, came across Hunter S. Thompson. About 10 years later, I gave up on the concept of role models. They just didn't seem to be working out like I thought We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skychick312 0 #2 October 5, 2005 I know this is a little corney but oh well... My mom is my role model.. If I can be 1/2 as strong as that woman is then I will be set for life!! She is strong-willed, intelligent, kind, an all around loving person, a hippie (making me a flower-child) and a great mother...I am pretty sure she has rubbed off on me!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be the change you wish to see in the world!

jumpchikk 0 #6 October 5, 2005 I'm going the corny route with Julia, but it's really not all that corny. My role model has and always will be my mom. My dad and her married in 1959, he was in the Air Force, she was in nursing school, one month after their wedding, he was sent off and stationed in Okinawa for 19 months. During that time, she completed nursing school and put herself through anesthesiology school. My dad came back from Okinawa and my mom put him through college, had my oldest brother in 1963 and then my other brother in 1965 all the while supporting a household by working. This was pretty uncommon then. She had me at 40 years old, actually took some time off from work to keep up with me (lol) and then went back to work after she enrolled me in school at 4 years old. She is 69 years old, owns her own house, her own car and still works full-time all the while keeping up with me (I should say me keeping up with her). She's my best friend. Now, if only I could convince her to stop smoking.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention his superb confidence. "Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius" you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Darius11 12 #13 October 5, 2005 Never had one. I remember we had to invite are role model for this big deal in health class in 8 or 7 grade. The teacher kept on insisting I have to have one and I was not trying to be an ass I really didn’t have any one or ever felt the need to find someone to be like. Needless to say I think I got an F on that project LOLI'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ashtanga 0 #15 October 5, 2005 Quote So does that mean you like young children? not in a good way... Of course not. Although I went to a porn theatre. I wasn't man enough to wack off in there so I took a squirt gun full of Jergens Lotion. Started squirting it up in the air and you should have seen the looks on peoples faces when they felt the lotion hit them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #20 October 5, 2005 For the most part, I don't think I really had any role models. There was a short time in my teenage years where I was fascinated by Jim Morrison, Arthur Rimbaud and William Blake, so they probably had some influence on me. And at some point I adopted a quote from Blake as my philosophy on living: "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom." Which would probably explain why I'm so, um, "wise" now.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #21 October 5, 2005 All of my early role models ended up being "false prophets" and it took me quite a long time to realize that my alliances and allegiances were bound to change over and over again as I went through different phases of my life. None of that bothers me. I am incredibly self-sufficient and am not particularly bound to anyone (other than my wife, obviously.) When you drink alot, your drunken buddies are your best friends. When you tea-total, your religious-zealot friends take up most of your time. Ultimately, I try to strike a happy medium these days. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #22 October 5, 2005 Some that stand out.... Roger Staubach when I was a kid My French teacher when I was a teenager. Mimi Abromovitz for a while during my young adult years--until I realized that she was so very wrong.... Betty Lowe, a pediatrician who retired from Arkansas Children's Hospital in 2001.
