Who is your role model?

I don't know if we had one of these threads or not, but I figure why not find out who everyone kinda looks up to in the world. This is for well known people, not like, "My dad is my role model..." because that's obvious.

Ne-Yo and Chris Brown are tied for me. They both have a sophistication to them, they are both incredible dancers, and the are both intelligent. Both are making bank, and I hope to be in that position one day. Ne-Yo is more the dressed-up person, what with the suits and hats, where as Chris Brown is the dressed-down person, making the simpler things look nice. I admire their music, because it isn't all that hardcore gangster stuff, but they have a "hard"ness to them.

Anyways, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown are the 2 I look up to. What about y'all?

Everyone I looked up to
Had a white moustache and tophat to match
I might laugh if I had a chance

They had a two-step-strut
They were a two-faced fraud
If it wasn't for them... oh god

It's just one of those days

This just came in

It's hip to be square

Role models don't exist
No one told you, so it comes to this
Role models don't exist, role models don't exist

Role models don't exist, role models don't exist

I have no role model's per say, but instead look up to specific traits of certain individuals.

I used to have a role model years ago, but then they showed their true persona. I knew then that idolizing one person as a whole was but a path to dissapointment.

Ne-Yo and Chris Brown? Seriously? I mean I guess I'd want to be like them strictly for the fact of how many girls they pull..

Recently Bill Maher is impressing me tremendously. We share the same views on a lot of stances (religion, legalization of weed, political views). It's nice to see somebody so out-spoken that believes in the same things I do. Also: Conan O'Brien is my fucking hero.

I love Conan. <3

Richard Feynman

Bits and pieces of Feynman, Sagan, Einstein and Kurzweil. I'm in the wrong field.

Anyways, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown are the 2 I look up to. What about y'all?

Eh, there isn't anything wrong with idolizing two gay, black r&b singers :lol:


I'm not really sure who is my hero, or even whom I idolize. I like to figure that I myself promote and motivate myself more than anyone else ever has.

I think the answer for you is Obama.

True. I would say he is pretty inspirational; However, he has been pandering into the political field a bit more lately, but not near as bad as any other presidential candidate in the past. Anyways, you're probably right.

I respect any one that isn't my mother. Heh heh. I'm really not joking.

Bill Gates, cause he has enough money to buy himself a country. I so want to be able to do that.
