I don't really think of really famous people when I think who I want to be like or think of an an "Icon" as Chemda put it.
I always admired Billy Sims (a running back for the Detroit Lions for his athletic ability) and when I was young thought I'd like to be like that. But I never knew what he was like as a person and never thought I wanted to be like him specifically.
When I think of it now I think of Chemda for her empathy and how she communicates in her relationship, I think of Keith for his outspokenness, I think of BabyButt for his bravery and determination and I think of Danny for breaking through his his shyness and making a break for it to pursue his dreams.
I'm not trying to kiss ass here, I'm think of these names now in the context of the show, in an hour I might think of other people I suppose. What I'm saying is I see in these people something I see as a weakness in myself or something in common. I feel connected to Danny because his personality his comedy strikes true to how I feel. Actually, I may be too outspoken at times so, Keith may be a bad example here... but anyway, I don't think WOW JFK was great I want to be like him because, I don't want to be president and I can't relate to him on any personal level. Am I alone in this, I just don't idolize celebrities for or because of their celebrity. I thought Keven Spacey was a great actor and would always want to see a movie with him in it. But, I never wanted to be like him, meet him or talk to him nor did I think he was so special. I would be more nervous talking to Chemda, Libby or Apia then anyone who has been on Time magazine. What do you think? Who do you admire or idolize and why? Do you admire celebrity? Am I just totally strange.
