My nuclear family, my extended family, Chris Martin, David Gray, James Taylor, Mitch Hedberg and Eli Whitney. I loved the cotton gin. Oh, I also like runderwear. And, anybody who can make confectionary. Let's not forget the founders of Wal-Mart who destroyed any sense that anyone may have of community, and Gary Fischer for making the first mountain bikes. What about Mr. and Mrs. New Balance? Without them, running a marathon would hurt like a. I also adore Carrot Top for making me feel normal. Plus, Ron Howard for being such a nice guy; you know he must have issues. What about the inventor of stairs? Let's not forget about him/her. And, how about the creator of rap music. Actually, I could live without that person. No, really, my biggest hero is somebody by an unknown name because he/she lived her life in anonymity, was happy, did what they wanted to do and didn't give a damn what anybody else thought, and didn't base their life on personal accomplishments, but rather on simply being and living in a spiritual way, connected with nature.
