My dad, God rest his soul. He was a lower ball turret gunner in a B17 over germany during WW2 and a 25-year LAPD -- commander of the Watts Substation when the 65 riots broke out. He once confronted a crazy man with a shotgun in a park in Watts. My dad also had a shotgun. They pointed their shotguns at each other point blank range. my dad said "Drop your gun or you're dead." The guy fired on my dad and blew his hat off his head." My dad said "You're dead" and he dropped his gun.

 

An incredible act of bravery! I'm very impressed!

I love to fight when the stakes are very high, the adrenaline is certainly a factor! Risk taking is fun! And a rush!!!!

I've considered jobs that include violence, but so far just don't want to go there! But I do daydream about it sometimes.

 

Some more of mine:

Mick Jagger
Jim Morrison - even though he died of wretched excess, he was a brilliant and gifted musician.
Keith Richards - a very gifted guitarist, and talk about a wild lifestyle! And he's still around....
My cat, Hercules - such a great character and pet, he's a hunter but not a killer, he brings home all kinds of gifts...so far a snake, a lizard, several chipmunks, a couple birds, a mouse, several shrews, and one or two of his cat buddies! The chipmunks were the most trouble, running around my Apartment catching them with a towel.
SpongeBob Squarepants!
Bugs Bunny (Who can forget the Rabbit of Seville?)

 

My Brother....
In his Jr. year is High school he broke his (fore)arm playing football, got a plate and 4 screws. He went to U of F and continued his dreams of becoming a USAF Pilot while going through school and the ROTC program. He lost his scholarship and was told he could never become a pilot because of the plate (for some reason the USAF refuses anyone with metal in them). He came back home had surgery to remove the plate and through many years of Physical Therapy he continued his college degree, and the ROTC program, finally graduating and going into the "Gold Bar" Program for a couple of months, all while beginning to learn how to fly to take live that dream of being a USAF Pilot. He was stopped 72 hrs into his flying lessons because he had 'run' out of time and couldn't get the landing.. He didn't let that stop him. He chose something else in the Air Force (Air Battle Management), Graduated one of the top people in his class and has just gotten back from Operation Enduring Freedom all in less that 1 yr! He has still been able to live his dream of being a AIR FORCE Officer, and he's definitely inspired me to not stop.
So for that I will continue aspiring for my goals, and wont stop till I attain them.

Albert Einstein-smart and believes strongly in imagination
Arnold Schwartzennegar-strong and patriotic

Richard Meier. Greatest architect of all time (IMHO). This guy makes me want to keep working in the field of architecture. People give Frank Lloyd too much credit. He did alot yes, but Richard's style takes the cake. See for yourself. www.richardmeier.com Need I say more?
