... Jack O'Neil.
Only smarter!
I know, I know!
He's just a character from the Stargate TV series, but dumbness aside, he's pretty cool.
As a child I think John Wayne was my hero and the person I most wanted to be like. I used to play at being a cowboy, riding in (without a horse) and saving the damsel, and the day, from marauding Indians (apologies to my native american readers).
I never really appreciated what a real hero was until 9/11.
My hat was off to them then and it is still off now.
I want to be a policeman or a fireman when I grow up.
I thought Stargate was a good program.
ReplyDeleteIn the end though, I think it is better not to grow up.
Eventually, maybe I will grow up. But not yet!
DeleteI have no idea who Jack O'Neil is (and think even if I googled it, I still wouldn't know). But yes, I agree. The men and women of 9/11 are (and were, in some cases), the real heroes. What a noble ambition for your grownup years.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Laoch, on both things :)
ReplyDeleteI've never watched Stargate. Don't worry, though. I'm a big fan of Star Trek, so no getting on a high horse for me.
ReplyDeleteGot you on John Wayne.
Also got you on 9/11. It has, sadly, become our generation's "JFK Moment" (as in "Where were you when JFK was killed?").
Now...."Where were you on 9/11?"
In Iceland.
I@d just got home from work, turned on the TV and heard within seconds a new bulletin saying "Reports are coming in that a light aircraft ..."
DeleteLittle did they know the horror that was to come.
