I have always been on the outside looking in and I have always prevailed. I will wage a war that will leave men broken and battered. Many perceive me as having no hope my victory will be an upset. But hope and perception have never ruled my life.

East of Eden was my favorite movie of his, as far as acting went...beautiful movie!




yeah i agree spit i always loved east of eden. rebel w/out a cause is his most famous film cause it kind of embodied what he was. But east of eden was such an emotional movie and his performance was tour de force. But his best performance i felt came in Giant but the movie is such a chore to sit through. The only worthwile parts come when he is on screen almost a 4 hour film and he is in it for less than an hour but still worth it.

I am glad so many people are inspired by family. My father left when i was less than a year old and i never met him he only lives 5 mins away from me but we never met. And the junkie, alcoholic abuser who replaced him showed me what NOT to do in life so.. But no bros or siblings or really any family of any kind. Except like i said my granny who survived world war 2 in russia none the less. She lost most of her family over 30 people in the family died during the war. But she was the oldest sister and took care of everyone even her mother and she has continued to take care of everyone she can and she is the strongest person i know.

As far as music goes i am mostly into classical music as far as mood music when i am happy or sad or pissed. But the Beatles have always been able to clarify and put into words what i can feel at any given moment. I do not neccesarily look to john lennon as someone who inspired me i looked up to him as a great human being and someone who stood by what he believed.


If I could capture the rage of today's youth and bottle it
Crush the glass from my bare hands and swallow it
Then spit it back in the faces of you racists
and hypocrites who think the same shit but don't say shit
You Liberace's, Versace's, and you nazis
Watch me, cause you thinkin you got me in this hot seat
You motherfuckers wanna JUDGE me cause you're NOT me

No surprise here, but Springsteen. There is no other artist or person who's work I could better relate to. To say that his music has gotten me through a lot of bad times would be an understatement. He is the reason that I write poetry, and probably the reason I'm still of this earth.

In the movie realm, I was always awed by Sean Connery. The first bond movies by Connery were mystical to me. There is fictional character that I'd rather be... and then to read about his life and what he went through to be who he is, it's pure inspiration.

Good topic, GS. There are a few people:

1)My grandfather..he served in the Navy in WWII, and just recently passed away, this past February. He served through the whole war.

2)My uncle, who was in the Marines during Vietnam. He still can't(or won't) talk about his experiences over there, only to mention they were pretty bad, some of the battles he lived through....

3)My Father. He grew up a foster child in the UK, and with the equivalent of a HS diploma, worked his way into a pretty high position of management in his current job. He instilled a strong work ethic in me and my brothers. My two brothers and I have had jobs since we were 12, and though we did not like it at the time, we realize what he was doing now.

4. My older brother. He's also in the USAF, and paved the way for me to get in, gave me advice on a career field, etc. He also encouraged me to get a degree before I came in, which I did.

I joined the military to make my uncle & grandfather proud...though I'll probably never experience t he horrors of a WWII or Vietnam, I'm just continuing the tradition of military service,a nd loving every minute of it.

My dad inspires me for what NOT to be in life.


I can relate....

as for me I'm too shallow to have had anyone inspire my life in any way, well check that. One person did move me and still does to this day, it was my aunt who died back in '81 at 24 years old from a rare disease. She helped me through tough times even when she was sick and I miss her terribly to this day. Sorry to get sappy guys....

I have to agree with Gooch and say Noam Chomsky. He exposes hypocrisy everywhere. I also have to say in the music world Jello Biafra. I don't think you need to explain that one.

My mother has really inspired me. I'm going into my 2nd year of college and I'm really amazed at how a single mother of two twin boys could raise us they way we are. She always has and always will push me and my brother to new heights. If it weren't for my mom I wouldn't have had graduated from HS in a public school instead of a "special school", or even go out and get a house on her own in NY after living with my grandmother in NJ for 14 years.

I'm so grateful for her. She moves me everyday.

For a public hero, I'd choose Martin Luther King, Jr. In the 60's he didn't want to just accept the "status quo" of that era. If he didn't take a stand against the segreationist policies in the 60's then I wouldn't have the opportunities I have today.

...woah after typing that first paragraph I was starting to get a bit teary-eyed.
