When I was a kid I wanted to be Bruce Lee
I also wanted to be Luke Skywalker.
As I got older I wanted to be Han Solo.
Later I wanted to be Chow Yun Fat....
For a while Mel and I would argue that we were like Blade... (I know it's shameful) But Not Wesley Snipes. Blade. Badass who hunted Vampires.
I also went to through many moments of wanting to be a Super athletes like Jordan or Magic.
Okay... I must admit that I am looking forward to Star Wars more than I would like to admit. I just finished watching the cartoons that link Episode II and Episode III. So I am officially a geek. There is still some kid in me left.
Its been a wild week at work. Loans after loan. And no loan is ever the same. People are all different. Today I pull a credit and his score was 666. I kinda laughed and asked if I was dealing with the devil. And he immediately responded by saying that he was a servant of Christ. It was pretty refreshing after a long day of relentless sales. It was like a John Woo movie moment where everything froze and started to slow down with Pigeons flying around. It was nice.
Something hit me the other day. I no longer want to be any of those that I mentioned earlier... Gone are my adolescent day dreams... It is kinda sad moment when you realize that you don't have a hero that you wished that you can be for a day.
Now that I think about it... I think Chow Yun Fat is the coolest.
Chow Yun Fat is a Bad man. Well at least he used to be.
But my real Hero? Hezeus Christo! I want to be like Him!
Who did you want to be like when you were a kid?
