Idols

One wonders what things made him the boy he is today. Who he looks up to. This will clear up any doubt, I hope.

There have been many Idols/Role Models for me growing up. There still is. A few of them are listed below;

- Sir Terry Pratchett. A veritable genius of humour, wit and creativity. His Discworld books had a significant positive impact on me, and they still do. A truly fantastic man.

- Hans Zimmer. If I had devoted more time to being musical, I would have aspired to be like the man. (For ignorant people, Hans Zimmer is the composer to many, MANY film soundtracks; the Batman films, Pirates of the Carribbean, Gladiator...)

- A plethora of actors. Patrick Steward, Ian Mckellen, Christopher Lee, Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Mike Myers, Harrison Ford, Leonard Nimoy, Zachary Quinto, Seth Green, Zach Braff, Will Smith. All fantastic. If I was to be a drama-guy, I would have followed thier lead.

- Serj Tankian. Not only for his work with System of a Down, not only for his solo work, but the work he does with the Axis of Justice.

- Neil Gaiman, for the same reasons as Terry Pratchett.

- Randall Munroe. For his work on xkcd, and the work for physics.

- My family. For being there when I need them.

- My friends. For giving me the ability to tolerate the days.
