Admiration
Even if we don't always like to admit it, we each admire certain people. I have decided to share with you a little list of the people I admire. If there is anybody here that you think sucks, I possibly agree with you. Just because they're on my list of admiration doesn't mean I worship the person, although in some cases I do. But, if you despise anyone in particular on the following list, don't bother telling me, cos I just might actually like that person and then you shall be beaten. With that out of the way, I bring you the saga entitled:

»People I Admire.«

---

Rowan Atkinson [aka Mr. Bean]. He must be the freezinest, funniest single guy who lives with only his teddy bear that I am aware of. Sure, his girlfriend's a little weird, but he can't help that.
Big Cat Bonner. I am amazed at his ability to be one of the youngest teachers I've ever had and somehow also the most verbally abusive. His ideas of teaching are more flexible than some think, just as long as no whining is involved. Otherwise, you'll simply hear "Da tissues ah ova der."
Whoever the genius was that created Canadians. Yes, people, the saying about Canadians is absolutely true. I have known a lot of people from Canada in my life, and every one has proven to be extremely generous and SO non-"human"...close to godly sometimes.
The pot dealers of Philipsburg. They've outrun the town cop(s) for generations, and still they fight. They don't make much money, but hey; they do better than the rest of us. Standing on that corner across the street from the highschool, their battle rages on; a battle striving for freedom, lucrative business, and an affordable high.
Mike Harper. Mr. Harper is the best-looking cheerleader PO has ever had! Most people from around here think he's pretty "fly" for an English teacher...except for the chalk-people, of course. He gave me all A's in 8th grade for doing nothing but making up stuff about government cheese and drawing on his blackboard.  Homeslice, I salute you!
Milton Hershey. I must pay tribute to this guy for several reasons. Not only is he the founder of a famous military school, but he also brought us many, many delicious treats (especially chocolate ones), a really yummy-smelling factory tour (at the end of which you get free samples), and the best attraction in all of Pennsylvania: Hershey Park. If you've never been there, you must either be from veeeery far away or extremely sheltered. Someday I'm gonna get a whole bunch of buses and round up all of my friends from all over the world and go to Hershey Park. Then I'll wake up from my wonderful dream to throw the cat out of the house and go to work at McDonald's.
Gavin Rossdale [and the rest of Bush]. I could worship Gavin for SO many reasons, but the most recent show of greatness Bush has expressed is their ability to mature with age, adapting to what flavor of music is more modern, without conforming. "The Chemicals Between Us" hit #1 in the US, yet it doesn't sound anything like Britney Spears. ROCK ON!
Christopher Pike. Believe it or not, sometimes when I'm really bored...I mean, TOTALLY, mind-numbing, skull-pounding bored, I...um...READ. Yes, as unlikely as it may seem that I have any reading ability at all, it's absolutely true. Hooked on phonics worked for me! I am truly a Chrisopher Pike addict. And it's no wonder; his books have everything a person(?) like me can ever want in a collection of words! They're the perfect length to be finished in two days or two months or whatever amount of time you can spare to read them. They've got all the mystery, gore, sci-fi, and inappropriate language you can find in a small, 200-page paperback that's approved to be stocked in (EVEN!) a junior high library.  Pike proved to me that even if a book doesn't have pictures, it can still provide great entertainment.
Adam Sandler. He has blessed us all over and over; from his many characters on SNL [Crazy Backwards Guy!]; to songs such as "Happy Hanukkah", "Ode To My Car", "Medium Pace", "Mr. Bake-O", and "Lunch Lady Land"; to Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, The Wedding Singer, and The Waterboy. Also, let me say (y'all are probably sick of hearing me say this about guys by now, but this is MY page), Adam Sandler is friggin' HOT! But that's not why I admire him. Why, you ask?  Well, the answer lies in his sense of humour and incredibly hilarious personality, of course!  Dumb people.
Scott Spencer [aka Binary11]. Anybody that's actually paid attention to my past and current web pages knew he'd be on this list. Scott has done a lot of things for me. He's the one you all can blame for the suffering you've gone through caused by looking at my web pages, since he inspired me to make one. Also, most of my ideas have somehow been stolen from his. But, it always happens that he's better than me (curse the demon Muffin!  Kidding...); so, like, go to his page, and you will enjoy it much more than this one.
Jim Breuer. Mmm, my Jimmy. I thank him for filling many of my lonely Saturday nights for the past few years with happiness, laughter, and drool. I still get to see him sometimes, when they show the older episodes, but I miss him greatly. COME BACK TO ME, JIM, BABY!! PLEASE!! I'M BEGGING YOU!! Ok, enough of that! ANYWAY...Jim totally had a crappy job that one summer, hosting videos for MTV.  They didn't treat him so well.  But I must say, Half Baked was a majorly kick-butt movie!
Godd. He is a master of, uhh, shall we say...legal and partially legal computer programming? Yah, that sounds pretty good. Anybody that doesn't know who I'm talking about better not even ask. Godd and I continue the fight every day against our 75...er, 20...er, 7 year old mortal enemy: Stan.
Steve [from Blue's Clues]. Many of us often marvel at the fact that although Steve is adored by many girls, especially from our school band, he is still the only guy we know that lives in a cartoon house with nobody except a dog and many talking inanimate objects and sings songs about playing games, getting letters, and disappearing into paintings.
Ginger Spice. Don't look at me like that. I'm STILL not a teeny bopper!  I admire Geri for being the first of the Spice Whores to kick the others to the curb, and being one of the few that weren't pregnant.  Although I still don't believe in "girl power", and her music still sucks, Geri has shown me that even the members of teeny-bopping groups get sick of it sometimes.
The inventor of duct tape. Do I even need to list the reasons? I didn't think so. Hail the almighty power of duct tape!
Mike Myers. I admire Mike Myers for being just a freezin' guy. He was hilarious on SNL, as well as in So I Married an Axe Murderer, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me. In my eyes, he is a comedy genius!  Worship him, dangit, before I have to get out the big stick!!
Fat Albert. Umm, why is he so great? Oh yah. He founded the Junkyard Gang, a group of ghetto kids who just wanted to play music and sing songs about not talking to strangers and being nice to retarded people. However, that one dude in the scarf and tossel hat that was always goin "Buhbuhbahbuhbeebuh" was the coolest.
Kraft. Everybody knows Kraft cheese (especially Kraft Macaroni and Cheese) is the best there is. I wish someday I could be as popular as that Kraft guy.  Thanks for making my life a little cheesier, um, Xavier?
Super Sara. SUPER SARA ROCKS!!!
All the Steves of the World. It's so great that you all can keep each other straight! If there were as many Jamies as there are Steves, my mind would be twisted into a knotted web of confusion and mass hysteria, and I would wander around aimlessly mumbling "I am Jamie", starving myself, dehydrating, lost in a repetetive loop of thought and dilemmas, foaming at the mouth, until my eyeballs burst in their sockets and all my hair fell out and I collapsed in a giant bubbling blob on the street. Or I'd change my name to something unique, like "Bdeh".
Scruffy. Actually, Scruffy isn't just one person. If you know me well enough, you know that I call EVERYONE Scruffy. The simple explanation for this is I tend to forget peoples' names, so rather than be embarrassed by addressing someone by the wrong name (as I've done on countless occassions), I simply refer to everyone I know as "Scruffy". Of course, some people are ALWAYS adddressed as Scruffy. In case you've been living under a rock for several years, these are all the people in that awesome new band MENTAL PEAS! So basically I'm just saying I admire everyone in Mental Peas because they (we) RULE!!
Anno the Ho From MO. Anno is so cool! She has more men than I do, and she has the same favourite colour as me! No, not pink, she's only lying when she sings that; she likes BLUE. There are other reasons why Annie is so cool, but I can't remember them right now.
Kylie Wood. Kylie hops when she plays badmitton, which proves to be an advantage in the game. Her hopping ability gives her that extra leverage over lesser players (like Theresa and Eddie, the lovers), not to mention the LEAPING...I want to hop just like Kylie someday. I'm training.
