People that inspired you in some way?

[Mr. DS]

I should point out that most review sites (new and old) inspire me.  If I see someone crank out a killer review I want to join in on the fun.

My Parents - they are the bestest people I've ever known. They never set any restrictions upon me but promoted that I think things through for myself.

Ian Mackaye - like a lot of his take on not conforming and sticking to your principles. Like his take on straight edge.

Henry Rollins - another who always seem to promote and encourage people to think, to reason things out for themselves.

C.M. Punk - for overcoming the odds and succeeding in a place where such almost seemed impossible. Granted I don't approve of the more hardline straight edge approach he emphasizes these days.

Superman/Clark Kent - a fantasy character but one I always most wanted to be like growing up and felt a certain kinship with as I too often felt an alien in my environment. I also related a lot to the Martian Manhunter.
