Stop worshipping celebrities.
Don't fuckin sit there and pretend you have zero childhood heroes.
Still respect Attenborough
I genuinely can't think of any at the moment. I didn't follow sports or anything—i played video games. Not only that but i never cared about the VAs, or publishers, or anything like that.
The closest thing might be Marty O'Donnel—the video game composer—who is an Israel supporter. But, when i found out, i didn't really care, tbh.
However, i promise that I'm much more disappointed in my parents than you are for some celebrity.
I’m similar, in the 80s all my hero’s were cars, trucks, helicopters and planes.
Knight rider, couldn’t have cared less who was driving. Magnum PI was only watched for the Ferrari 308, Brown Vanagon and matching Hughes 500 helicopter. Riptide, Miami Vice with the Spyder and Testarossa, Chips, Airwolf, Simon and Simon, Hardcastle & McCormick.
There is a hero I’m ashamed of though. The fucking General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard.
Yeah but esme weatherwax and baba yaga stayed cool
But everybody else isn’t on the cereal box! You can see the bind we’re in.
