Usually I rant and rave about whatever comes to mind. Today I'm just going to go over a few people I admire.
Stephen Hawking - The most brilliant man to ever live. He has changed the face of the universe from a wheelchair. A brilliant man who has been trapped inside of his own head for 30 years. What's not to admire?
Albert Einstein - The second most brilliant man to ever live. Without him we wouldn't have half of the convieniences we have today.
Dennis Miller - A man that can combine intelligence and humor. How many other comedians do you know who can reference Caligula and Red Adair?
George Carlin - He is most responsible for my sense of humor. If you don't like it blame him, he's dead so he won't care. Ridiculous, thought provoking, and fearless.
Michael Crichton - My favoite thriller writer. Untill recently he was the only thriller writer I would read. His books are researched to death and are addictive page turners.
Douglas Adams - My favorite writer, bar none. Whether it is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a Dirk Gently novel, or an article on animal conservation he is flat out amazing. His wit and intelligence shine through in all of his works.
Monty Python's Flying Circus - Combining the absurd with intelligence changed my life.
Johnny Knoxville - I know he doesn't really fit in this list, but come on, the guy is indestructable. Why wouldn't he be on my list?
