Carl Sagan always, always blows my mind and inspires me. The way he was passionate about what he did! And how brilliant he was. Above everyone else, I probably admire him most for the most reasons. I also look up to my oldest brother a lot though. He's just badass, mostly. Musically, there's quite a few, so I couldn't even begin to name those. Basically anyone who's ever made something that I admire and/or relate to.

Because I have SP, every time I see a person with great social skill, like my friends who can do great presentation, who have great sense of humour or can easily make friend, I partly admire and partly envy them.
Nevertheless, the person that I can truly call my idol is my uncle. Hes a quiet person. The world doesnt know his name but to me hes one of the greatest people in the world. He is not only a good uncle of mine, but also a good dad and a good husband. He really cares for his family. I rarely hear any words from him, but what he does for our Great family is countless. He always work hard but I never hear him complain or boast. Although he already has 3 children and busy wiz his work, whenever I call him for help like solving math or repair an electrical equipment, he will be there to help me.
One day I want to be like him, a man living for his family

Carl Sagan Pure genius! he breaks down the most complicated things into simple ideas that everyone can understand
Richard Dawkins because he isn't afraid to speak his mind on religion
Barack Obama ....inspirational
Michael Jackson ( I know, this one sounds weird but he reminds me of myself in terms of shyness/eccentricity and its good to know you're not the only weird person on earth, when he died I was kinda sad because I felt like the one person who was weirder than I had died)
Michael Eric Dyson ....I want this man's vocab dammit, he's like a human thesaurus
Sam Harris: ....see Richard Dawkins
Malcolm X ...An example that anyone can turn their life around for the better and achieve greatness. He spoke truth to power.
Lauryn Hill ....beautiful smart and talented....Lauryn circa 1999 was/is my dream girl
John Brown..... probably the greatest white man to walk this green Earth.
Vincent Van Gogh ......artistic genius, and his emotional sensitivity reminded me of myself
Michelangelo .... artistic genius
Osho .........pure wisdom
Spike Lee ........ My fav film maker
Nas ....even though he has been losing at life an awful lot lately and has terrible taste in women he's still one of the best if not the best poet hiphop has to offer.

That's easy. Trent Reznor. But I don't really like the idea of idolizing someone. Anybody is capable of success, including me. I just can relate to him better than any well known start out there.
Other than that, i'd say most MMA fighters and athletes. Especially Rich Franklin. This guy was a high school math teacher, and at 25 decided he wanted to become a fighter, so he trained really hard in a shack in his yard and years later became a UFC champion. As far as I know he didn't have a background in it either.
It just serves as a reminder to me and everyone that it's never too late to do ANYTHING.

Well most celebrities i like i feel embarrassed for it because everyone either doesnt like them or thinks they are weired. So im alone in admiring these people.
I like courtney love (<< hence the picture) because shes so ballsy and loud and i love her music. Allot of people don't like her but i do. Shes actually very smart with some of the words she comes out with. A bit like kurt cobain was.
