Who's your hero or big daddy either fictional or real? ^^

Mine's Duke Nukem, definitively...

I'm not much of a hero seeker myself either.

But if I really had to chose one, it would have to be Ellen Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver in the Alien movie series).

First female character in science fiction/horror movies that wasn't a wimp and in need to be saved by a guy all the time. :D

I totally agree here. I loved the Alien trilogy since I was about 5 years old.. I even have the complete DarkHorse comic of Alien Ressurection. Aliens and Predator pwn!

If the Canadian army had 100 Predators, we'd be in control. :Mischievous:

I'd have to say my hero is my mom. Because of her I've had a roof over my head and food in my stomach for 22 years. When I was 7 and my dad was injured and unable to work, my mom enrolled in school, graduated, and got a good job to support us. To this day she continues to amaze me, she has so much perseverance and always strives for more. I am who I am because of her.

Well as a song writer look up to Billy Joel. I just think he's a great writer and I love his music.

I'd have to say my dad, who has no problem giving the shirt off his back and every bit of money in his pocket to help someone he loves. In all the years I've known him he has never stopped working. Even after heart attacks, strokes, vehicle colissions, accidentally ramming a 12ft steel rod through his right knee into his thigh...he always gets up and goes back to work, against doctors orders and through pain, within a matter of days. When you ask him why he'll say because he wants to give me everything I've ever wanted. Consequently, that is a HUGE guilt slap.

i wouldn't say i have a hero, but there are people i try to emulate.

and despite being agnostic, Jesus is probably close to or on the top of that list.
