Men I admire.

Professor Brian Cox! Yes this man truly opened my eyes and ears to the wonderful world that is space! Even if you are not into the universe and all that malarkey, I still strongly recommend you check out his latest series 'wonders of the solar system'.
He explains everything to do with space in such a way that is so easily understood! The images used in the series of documentaries and truly truly beautiful and it is filmed in such a way you may forget to blink!! This man is also wonderful to watch, when it comes to the male species... he is a bit of a wonder himself! Not only does he explain everything so well and have a brain that can squish in so much information and then spurt it out in a way even children can understand...the man never stops smiling, never! Wow!! Its not often I see smiley men, so that is a marvel in itself! Amazing!


Eddie Vedder... A man whose musical sounds I seem to never stop absorbing. Seriously, almost everything musically this man has done is complete pleasure to my ears! He stays so true to himself and his music and never changes to the expectations of record labels. So many bands that started in the late 80s/early 90s I literally cannot listen to anymore, its not so much that the music has become so commercial, its just that its sounds, well, shit! When bands start out they are so raw, expressive and honest with what style of music they are aiming to be, but the more money that comes in, the more record deals they get, the more they conform into what record companies tell them will sell! Eddie seems to have never done this! His sound is still completely his own, and through music he expresses himself and his journey through life so honestly! With a complete mixed bag of things he has tried, mostly not in the slightest bit mainstream, always a rebel, always a fighter, always honest and true to his feelings.. it comes through in his music so perfectly!


Christopher Mccandless. In the film 'into the wild' Emile Hirsch portrays Christopher Mccandless, in a performance so touching and unforgettable! It almost makes Emile himself one of the men I admire. But the real Christopher Mccandless is who is the real inspiration here! I am not going to go into the story...as it will take me as long as the film...JUST WATCH IT! You won't regret it, well at least you won't if you have any ounce of a dreamer in you! (Which I think most of us have, even if you do hide it behind a briefcase and tie!)
I do not pity this mans death! As I feel it is one of the most honest ways to die. To be so true to yourself, and to live by exactly how you feel, is really a very rare thing. How often do we do things because we have to? Every single day! Every pissing person does this every single morning. Like robots, we get up, put on our work clothes, shovel down breakfast like its some kind of oil to keep our tin from squeaking, and into the oblivion we go, one by one...like flies to shit! We think its good for us, and the right thing to do! But this is what actually scares me... the amount of people who have lived their entire life doing what they have to do, and only a small part of it doing what they 'want' to do!
Christopher Mccandless lived and died doing what he believed was the absolute way he had to be. He saw the world for what it is, and didn't create some suburban ideal with his imagination. He saw everything for exactly what it was, In all its sick twisted glory! So he went on to live a life that was primal, raw and free of societies chains! I could talk about him forever, but the film speaks out on so so many levels, things that go unsaid, but get you thinking and understanding to your deepest most truth full core of the kind of world we live in today!

There are allot of men in the world who are truly admirable! I just can't think of them right now as it is 1:00am and I have to be a robot and get up for work in the morning, so I am going to add more as I think of them! So bare with me :)
