I LOVE MARTIAL ARTS SO THE FIRST PERSON ON THE LIST TO MEET WOULD BE BRUCE LEE! HIS WORDS ARE A BLESSING TO ANYONE WHO READS THEM,THERE NOT JUST FOR MARTIAL ARTS BUT FOR LIFE AND TO SEEK THE THINGS YOU WANT IN LIFE AND NEVER QUIT! THIS MAN WAS SO DRIVEN HE WORKED OUT TILL HE HAD 0% BODY FAT.HE WAS INVENTOR OF JUN FAN AND HIS WORDS IS CALLED JEET KUNE DO! THE GREATEST MARTIAL ARTIST TO WALK THE FACE OF THE PLANET! PEOPLE ARGUE WITH ME ALL THE TIME, AND I WILL BET MY LIFE THAT IF HE WAS STILL ALIVE THERE WOULD BE NO ONE WHO COULD TOUCH HIM. THAT MAN HAD MORE DRIVE THAN 100 OF US.R.I.P.BRUCE LEE 1973 THE NEXT WOULD BE A MAN FROM THE SAME MUD AS ME HUNTER S. THOMPSON! BORN IN LOUISVILLE KY,HE WAS THE FATHER OF GONZO JOURNALISM.I RELATE MY SELF TO HIM CAUSE I KIND OF SEE THE WORLD LIKE HE DOES, I HAVE READ ALOT OF HIS BOOKS AND THINGS HE SAID IS THE WAY I THINK THEY ARE TOO. HERE IS A QUOTE I LIKE, THAT IS VERY MUCH TRUE ABOUT THE TIMES WE LIVE IN AND THE COUNTRY, GREAT OLD USA!DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT THIS IS TRUE! AMERICA... JUST A NATION OF TWO HUNDRED MILLION CAR SALESMAN WITH ALL THE MONEY WE NEED TO BUY GUNS AND NO QUALMS ABOUT KILLING ANYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD WHO TRIES TO MAKE US UNCOMFORTABLE! SAD BUT TRUE! UNTIL THE US STARTS SEEING OURSELVES AS APART OF THE WORLD AND NOT IM NUMBER ONE. WE WILL ALWAYS BE UNDER FIRE! THEIR ARE ALOT MORE PEOPLE I WOULD LIKE TO MEET BUT IT WOULD TAKE WAY TO LONG.MAYBE BY READING THIS YOU WILL READ SOME OF THEIR WORK AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF HOW GREAT THEY ARE.
