Rock n Role Models - Adam

Everyone has people the look up to, people they hope to someday be like. For me I have a few people for two different aspects of life. I have role models for my business career self along with social ad home life.

Social Life Role Models
First David Puddy is a man that I could see myself as in my 30's his excellent wit and strong decision making skills puts him near the top of my list.






Next is Dennis Reynolds, Dennis is a ladies man although I already have an identical if not better body than him the difference here is that Dennis is a winner and winners don't listen to words like stop or no don't. His social life is incredible always hatching plans and successfully finishing everything the way he wants. which brings me to my next Role Model...



Zack Morris, you want to talk about hatching plans in Bay Side High School you come to this young man. Zack was an inspiration to me through all of grade school and thanks to Saved by the Bell the College Years I'm able to see how to act in higher education environments as well. Similar to Dennis he too could attain any women he pleased and practically wrote the book on pick up lines.


Last and most certainly not least Tyler Durden. Zack and Dennis are ladies men but Durden on the other hand is a mans man. Tyler does whatever he wants whenever he wants. A loose cannon on the surface but once deeper you find a very smart and well thought out being. along with Durden Brad Pitt is an icon who I look up to creating movies that shape and change my life. However I don't agree with is relationship choices since I will always be a Pitt Aniston fan

Business Life Role Models

Jack Donagy is in control of nearly every aspect of his life. He is a very successful network executive and I would consider him to be a corporate giant. He is wise beyond his years and gives perfectly insightful life lessons and advice to anyone willing to listen. I know it sounds alot like me but there are small differences.

Aside from being Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency's knight in shining armor he is a first class gentleman. Donald Draper knows the exact equation of how to successfully mix business with pleasure. A formula that I'd like to get my hands on some day. Don Draper knows how to treat a lady and always says the right thing at the right time. Whether he is dominating a board meeting, reeling in clients like fish or simply exerting his power as head of this household and ultimate bread winner Draper doesn't know the definition of failure.

Next is a new favorite of mine that quickly stole my heart when I saw his love for red meat, America, hard work, and mustaches. Ron Swanson although not a corporate giant rules over his small kingdom as if it were a fortune 500 company. He has the confidence of a steel beam yet he is a fair and kind boss.



The anchor to my business list is of course none other than The Michael Jeffery Jordan. Jordan is and always will be hands down the greatest basketball player period. He dominated every year he played in the 90's a solid decade of championships. The only reason he didn't go 10 for 10 in the nineties was the death of his father caused him to retire from basketball and play baseball in his honor for one season. The following season Michael wore the #45 in his fathers memory as a transition stage once he was able to work out the kinks that season he earned a ring every year after. Aside from his sports aspect the multi dimensional man MJ was a sponsors dream he will also go down as one of the greatest endorsers of all time, coincidence that McDonald's is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants and MJ endorsed them in the 90s? I think not

Post Script I would like to apologize if this post isn't as witty as you'd like it to be but honestly it has alot of picture and it took sometime to get them all where I wanted them and I'm not going to spend all day on the John so just tossing that out there

  1. Adam, I would agree with most all of these, especially with Jack. He's just the man, and he gets to date Salma Hayek (one of my top five).

    Now, I know you are a fan of the Pitt man, but I'm surprised at your choice of role model here. Don't get me wrong, its a great movie, and Bradolph Pitler (line from Bruno) is great in it. The only thing is, Tyler isn't real. He's just a figment of Edward Norton's imagination. That's my main beef with picking him as a role model. Aspiring to be some awesome kick ass Brad Pitt character is certainly understandable, but not one where he isn't even real. I'm surprised you didn't pick perhaps Achilles, or even Mr. Smith. Just my opinion here.

  2. first off you just ruined fight club for those readers who live under a rock and yet still have access to the internet.

    second Tyler Durden may be a figment of the imagination but all of my role models are characters as in they are all made up its just that he is a made up person in a made up person's mind which its all the same to me at that point.

    Michael Jordan is the only actual person that is BA enough for me to like him as is

  3. 1. I don't think you are friends with people who haven't seen Fight Club at least thrice
    2. I was giving you the benefit of having your characters be real, because they at least play real people.
    3. I would like to submit a couple of extra possible role models who are real people, and you can tell me if they make the top ten.

    Herald B Monroe
    Al Channell
    Steve Taylor
    Magnus

  4. So in your comment you just said that Michael Jordan was BA enough and my first thought was "Bachelor of Arts" that's just silly. After your blog about the B.A. I will never again look at it the same lol
