Being a role model

August 7th, 2009
I certainly agree with that. Too often, today’s kids look up to an image or persona, not realizing they aren’t real. Some may not realize that along with fame goes the responsibility. And I’m sure that can be a very heavy burden to deal with. I guess you could say I have the ‘luxury’ of being an ass or acting/talking in a non PC way. There are no real repercussions for me, just my own self being/awareness. A famous person, such as Rich, doesn’t have that luxury as every eye is on you and what you do.
 
Often times people wish they were someone famous etc etc. My contention is, imagine yourself in their shoes and think what would they want. If I were Rich, I’m sure there would be times when I’d just want to get away from all the cameras and responsibility to just unwind, relax and not worry about anything. Great ways to do this are camping, 4 wheeling, anything outdoors away from the masses. Nature has a way about itself of relaxing the soul. I plan to ‘recharge’ and do some 4 wheeling out in nature for a few days very soon. What could be more relaxing!
 
Have a great day!
Mike
