Hero
Maybe a tad of spammage, but I figure that is okay. First, I must settle something though. It doesn't make me right or wrong, nor the other party, it just causes correctness to be irrelevant. Now, ideas are neither male nor female. Agreed? Alright, and a man behind a mask is an idea until the mask is taken off. You might not agreed with this. But this man stands for an idea. If he wasn't, he wouldn't wear a mask. So the man is an idea, causing the sexual preference of the said individual to be irrelevant. Unfortunately, I doubt that this is solid enough to satisfy the opposition.
But let us talk about heroes.
Some of us watched a movie tonight, at which I stated that the main character was one of my hero. I said it that way, with the bad grammer and all. So I tried to say that he composed part of my hero, which would then be made of many. Smooth, yes, I know. Then I thought of who the others would be. How many heroes can I have my friends? And how much do heroes say about a person? If I said that some of my heroes were Jesus, Hamlet, Macbeth, and V from 'V for Vendetta', who then would you picture me as?
These heroes I might say stand for more of ideas then actual people. Jesus may be seperate from that, but I'm pretty sure he can be in both, cause he is pretty darn amazing. I couldn't tell you what Hamlet would represent. And Macbeth...I like him because he is a villian showing qualities that I wouldn't say were bad. I can't really dislike villians who do that. Not like pretend to be good and then switch over, but are clearly bad, but...not evil. And V...needs a better name and to widen his focus a little, but he is a genius and...I don't know, I guess I get jealous of smart people. Even if they are only smart because it was written in a script... The image of intelligence I guess. But man, he knew how to put on a show.
Then it gets to people you know. Is there much difference between hero and role model here? There doesn't really have to be, but there can be at the same time. Someone could call a toll free number and ask for a bunsmaster collection and then they are your hero. That doesn't make them a role model. But they could be. Explanation discontinued.
My hero made of many others must contain some of the image and of the real. That's what I think. I can't think of words anymore. It's actually starting to annoy me.
My thoughts fled. Tell me what you think. Who are your heroes?

dude...YOU'RE my hero!
by the way...the opposition is VERY much unsatisfied
My heros are little parts of the people I surround myself with.
But Hamlet, Macbeth, and V are great heros. Mostly, because they are all human with human complexity and faults.
(But I mean, how awesome is V?! He sword fights! Well they all sword fight.... and well. But V sword fights with an inaminate suit of armor. hee!)
My dad is my hero... he rocks big time. Miss you too Werner!
Well you were getting at my man Batman... I am pretty much a bat nerd on the side...Watching all "The batman" cartoons. Except this seasson because i am at school. But he is my Hero because unlike other super heros he doesn't have powers other than being ridicoulous with his amazing martial art skills that he learned in 7 years. The fact that when you think he is down and out he comes back and wins.. just too save city... Thats why i like the super hero THE PUNISHER if i even spelt that right.. but a man down and out comes back for vengence and has no real super powers other than being trained hardcore the military and such.. SO pretty much saying maybe i can't fly but one day i am going to be a Superhero. But i am going to have some pretty kick but gadgets and i will need a better car :)

Well to me heroes and role-models have gone hand in hand. I have heroes who are my role-models and i wouldnt really say that i have ever had a hero who wasnt a real person. And to me one of the most profound thing about heroes to me is when they let you down. To me that is when you find out the true charecter of your heros and to me its my rolemodels that dont handdle that well but my heroes who triumph and persevier.

You've claimed my no 1. hero on you list already, and it seems that Reuben stole my secondary hero, but here are the top ones I might call heroes or rolemodels
Jesus,
my Dad,
Biblical Daniel, paul and Joshua
C.S. Lewis
Martin Luther King Jr.
Eric Liddel
And then all of my friends who blow my mind from time to time (like Werner, showing his devotion to fight me to the death but never giving up!)... But I don't even need to start on them.
Thanks for the question man. I love that one! Good post.
You forgot spiderman, mister cronk. ;)
yes, I realized that after i was done writing... but then again, maybe he isn't really much of a hero to me anymore, that is, as much as somone i simply relate to on some levels. Not to say that I'm spiderman...
Not like i would tell you if i were...
'cause i'm not.
sincerely,
Your friendly neigborhood...
