what do you?

[bearded]

i just saw soloist, and one dialogue caught my attention.
homeless guy asks reporter, 'who do you look to?'  (not exact quote)
so, i wonder, who do you look to?  what would you do, if you could?
i've always looked to the authors, ever since i was a little kid.  tolkein, heinlen, clarke, verne, and the list goes on.  i know i have a book in me.  i just can't make it happen.
what is your genius, undiscovered?

The non-religious answer? Superman. Although, literarily speaking that IS a religious answer but WHATEVER. I was far more inspired by the acts of a fictional character than anyone in real life. (Shut up, Spud. I know what you're thinking. )

cool idea 

Newton, Maxwell, Einstein and Nietzsche

I'm into Physics and Philosophy.  My undiscovered genius is a Unified Field Theory or other such unification of the microscopic and macroscopic worlds.

That's my answer too. I always think "WWSD".

1 - My father (I would wonder how he would handle a situation)
2 - Peter Parker (I would relate to him when I was growing up)

[Reepicheep]

Inspector Gadget.

Otherwise, its a toss up between Sherlock Holmes and Schindler.

Very cool Reep.

For me...hmm...well, I would definitely look to Tolkien and Lewis, men of faith and men of the pen.  I would like to live up to their example, if I can.

[The Hitman]

My folks, for sure.

And Kyle Rayner. He's just a guy, trying to make the best of his situation. I identify with that quite a bit.

(I bet youalls thought I'd say something silly like "Weird Al, Ambush Bug, and Kevin Smith!"

but what would you do if...custom scenario; you've lost your job, and instead of worrying about responsibilities or bills, you are going to be a starving artist, what would you do, what is your art?

[Gremlin]

Writing. Probably poetry or scripts for short little avant-garde/postmodernist films that screw with your head. I'm not a visual medium kinda guy. If not that, then music--I love to sing.

[Mr. Hamrick]

I'd make movies!

[Gremlin]

I'd make movies!

We should totally team up. A starving artist filmmaking duo.
