"Who are your stars"?

[ALFsince86]

I once heard (on audio tape) an interview with Jerry Lewis and the college professor who was interviewing him asked: "Who are your stars?...Whose work do you admire the most?"

I've thought since then that that's an interesting why to ask it, "Who are your stars", because, to me, that seems like it's not asking you to pick from celebrities (sometimes called stars), but the people who especially shine to you.

So...who are your stars...I'll share if you will:

Definetely my mom. Shes a strong soul and very warm hearted. And then theres my little sister...who is 13 yet she acts like shes 35. shes beyond her years and i love her for always being my best friend.

And then theres my favorite band Silverchair. The lead singer and writer is a musical genious and their music is inspirational. And of course every rock artist has a story and his pain and struggle i can seriously relate to so i feel connected with his lyrics and sound.

And of course, Alf. For always being so upbeat and positive. For always making me smile and never letting any food go to waste.

Well, you told, so I'll tell...

Christ Jesus - for salvation, everything else, and the following people:

childhood friends - due to my severe heart condition my skin had a purple hue when I before my operation. Additionally, I wasn't able to be nearly as active as a typical child. My first friends had to be patience beyond their years. Thanks: Brad, Nate, Micah, and Justin.

teachers - Jane Smith, Mark Dycus, and Scott Revis. These folks didn't just teach academics, but gave real instruction on being a human being

my parents have been awfully good to me
