Who do you look up to more than anybody else? Everybody has a role model - take a few minutes to pay tribute to yours.My role model? Like the kind with all the idolizing, admiration, adoration and all those other spiffy ‘-ation’ words most commonly associated with celebrity stalkers?
Yeah, can’t say I have one of those--celebrity or not, really. Showed up a bit late when it came time for the role model selection day and the only person left was George W. Bush... (No joke needed, it stands on it’s own I think) Well, that, or there’s the possibility that I’m incredibly conceited and see no need in elevating another human being on a shiny pedestal above myself. My pedestal is the tallest...and most shiny.
Hmm, kind of puts a kink in the whole
'Everybody has a role model' thing, huh? What can I say? I’m a wave making rebel.
Although, come to think of it, maybe my role model is Eminem. He did have that
aptly titled song, after all. Maybe, as the lyrics imply, I DO want to grow up to be just like him. Plus there’s
this. Not-so-subliminal messaging...what a wacky guy.
Clearly, I wouldn’t be admiring the man for his keen grasp on the idea of subtlety.
Oh, or how about the guy who invented Post It notes? I’m guessing it’s a guy anyway...because apparently I’m conceited AND sexist, but back to Post It man; my maybe-role-model. Think about it, everyone knows what a post it is, but how many know the genius behind the sticky, yellow slips of paper? Better still, how many care? I sure don't.
I think I’m intrigued by the idea of being known for something world wide yet not really ‘known’ at all.
Houston, we have a role model... I just don’t happen to know his name or care much to know really.
Is Post It guy even alive? I’d be crushed to find and lose my idol all in a matter of the same day.
The less I know the better...
EDIT: Post It man's birth name is Spencer Silver, apparently. I asked a patient. Who knew they were good for something other that complaining?
"My arm hurts." "It hurts when I pee." "I can't breathe." Waaaah.
