Write about a person or people you look up to or have learned from. These could be people who have become famous historically, celebreties or even people you know or are related to. You might admire their accomplishments, their personality traits or their values. How did you learn about this person? What makes him or her remarkable? How does knowing about this person impact who you are as an individual?
I am not the kind of person who looks up to other people, but I like to hear the background story of certain individuals in their writing or of an actor's background. For example: C.S. Lewis, the author of the Chronicles of Narnia, was a christian. Now in perception, the lion Aslan was Narnia's protector and was willing to sacrifice himself to save Edmund, but yet able to come back in even less time it took for Jesus Christ to rise from the dead. Now, after seeing that, it made me wonder what he was thinking while he wrote this, Jesus was dead for approximately 3 days, as Aslan was dead for one night. I mean, years ago I thought that he was actually trying to surpass Jesus in a way that leaves many with their jaws hanging open. Now in this time, I had the idea to create character based on this discovery who was just invincible and all-powerful in every way and form, even in the most unusual ways. This character came to be known as the Happy Lion, the one who rules over gods and yet he never truly dies, as physical contact with his corpse allows him to come back to life. For this little nugget of reality was sprouted into a whole new character, I have been quite amused after watching The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.
Another person who I have interest in is Jim Carrey, the so called 'man of a thousand impressions'. I mean, if you have the mind to focus carefully, most of his work is the same thing, but it isn't all too bad to repeat yourself in each film. My favorite Jim Carrey film is Cable Guy, it's about a crazed stalker who goes about after his 'client' with the identity of Chip Douglas. You never get to find out his name throughout the movie and that's how it should be. I've once been told that Jim Carrey was bi-polar. Yeah, two faces are better than one in the sense that you got TWO TIMES THE FUN!!!!!!!
If you have ever heard of the 'Angry Video Game Nerd' (James Rolfe), he is a critic that reviews games and some movies, but if you you heard of him, you may know about the Irate Gamer.
The Irate Gamer (Chris Bores) is an imitator of AVGN, and reviews some of the same games in the process, he even stole some of his dialogue and used it in some of his reviews. Anyways, there's an old philosophy that remains men to this day, but this expression is used for the case of girlfriends, wives, etc. This expression I have in mind is "Never cross swords."I am not too fond of other people's work being taken credit for by other people, unless if they manage to mix it up as something new. The Irate Gamer ignores that and plays forward as the cheap imitation of AVGN, causing a lot of angry viewers, so why does he do it?
I've just come to the thinking that it's more of a popularity thing, just to sell his roundness on the internet. But what I have come to learn from Chris Bores was that you gotta do what he's not doing, being yourself, as a bigger and better person. It's kind of weird to find something good out of someone you don't like because it really lets you to get a hold of who you really are.
