First, my daughter, and what a great person she's turning out to be.
This guy:
Man, 72, To Compete In Barbell Competition - Irresistible Headlines News Story - KETV Omaha
Him and Lance "Frikken" Armstrong ( at least I think that's his middle name )
The feel of very heavy iron moving up and down by my efforts and desires. The sounds of the plates clanking together. I'm almost more proud of my strength, than I am for my engineering degree. My strength has actually helped out in a more real way in my life than my degree. I'm proud that I've earned both.
I'm inspired by the intelligence and eloquence of others. I'm a pretty intelligent guy, but it never seems to come out the way I want it to when I'm communicating my feelings or ideas, so people who have more of that gift inspire me. I too like theatre and art. Artists rock for the aforementioned reasons of expression.
As far as football, I'm more inspired by movies about football than the actual game. heh.
