A tribute to my Heros

"When the fantasy has ended
and all the children are gone
something good inside me
helps me to carry on
I ate some bugs
I ate some grass
I used my hand to wipe my tears
to kiss your mouth
I break my vows
no no no no no no way Jose
unless you want to
then we break our vows together"

Nacho Libre (Jack Black)

What is a hero? I guess there are the pat answers-- the guys (or Gals) that really inspire you. Or someone like the fireman that pulls your butt from a burning building. Then there are your leaders that help to make you a better person, or help you to stay on the right path. But someone that I really consider to be a hero is the one that has values, and can stand up at that time that his values are challenged and say NO thats not right.

Whatever it means to you, I have my own hero's in my life that I will always look up to. Whether that is the person now or the person that they used to be... The person that I remember in my clouded memory.

So, why all this talk about hero's. I just wanted to say Thank You to all those that have helped me be the person that I am today, or better yet the one that I hope to be someday. I could not be here without you.
