Who inspires me? Who gets me off my butt and working? I’m sure none of you out there really even care. I’m sure you don’t think about what gets Spencer King motivated, but I’m going to tell you who five of my role models are. It’s definitely an interesting list.
1. Simon Cowell
The fact that Simon can tell people that they suck right to their face makes me want to do the same thing to other people. Unfortunately I don’t have the balls to do that. I usually just harbor feelings of resentment and loathing. Simon does it with such ease, probably because he has a lot of money. So what I’ve learned from Simon is, if you have enough money, you can tell people what you really think of them.
2. George W. Bush
A lot of people rip on GW, saying things like, “He’s the worst president ever.”, or, “He should be executed.” I don’t like do the hip thing. The reason he is a role model for me is that because, no matter what, he doesn’t give a crap about what people think of him. When people said he was evil, he just took it. When people said he was a murderer, he just took it. And when people starting singing “Hey hey hey, goodbye!” as he left the White House, he just took it. Now that’s a person who doesn’t care about what other people think!
3. Amy Winehouse
What I learn from Amy is this: Even though you’re totally baked on crack, you can still make money, and then use that money to buy more crack. I just change the word ‘crack’ to ‘investments’ and it makes it a feasible goal. So, I’m trying to use my investments to make other investments. Amy also helps me know that even ugly people can be successful.
4. Dick Cheney
Here’s a guy who is hated buy millions, and shot his friend in the face. Not necessarily a great role model, but check this. He shot his friend in the face and the guy is still his friend. That teaches me that a real friend is someone you can shoot in the face and they’ll still hang out with you. Now I have an easy, entertaining way to find out who my real friends are. So if you’re really my friend and you see me with an airsoft gun, just brace yourself and know that I love you.
5. Milo, my cat
My cat is a great guy. I wish I could be more like him. He can lick his own crotch which is an amazing skill. He can also lick his own back. I tried that yesterday and now I can’t turn my head to the right. Besides his incredible flexibility there are other traits he has that I wish to emulate. He has the ability to get my wife to scratch his head. I don’t know how he does it. Every time I try to get my wife to scratch my head she makes a face and continues her activities on Facebook. I’m still trying to teach Milo English so he can tell me his secret.
Now, I’m sure that you have people you try to model your life after. Who are they? And, why are they not as good as mine?
