Where are all the Heros

Posted by Destinazen in LifeArts

Last week one of America's classic heros retired. Brett Farve, one of the last true american "regular guy" heros. Sure there are still plenty of great guys out there, alot of people doing great things, but we are losing the great everyday, mows his own lawn, look at the normal guy, heros.

Harrison Ford, is another classic everyday guy. I'm talking about the way we relate to these people. We feel they are out there for all the right reasons. Just this past weekend I was watching "Air Force One." Harrison Ford is the president who pretends to escape in the emergency pod when Air Force One is hijacked by Gary Oldman.  He gets in an akward fight with one of the bad guys and you're pullin for him. I mean clearly you are pulling for him, but this isn't James Bond here, its just your average everyday Harrison Ford, jerkin around like a spaz. 

That was Brett Farve too. Scrambling outside the pocket, stumbling in the snow completing a last minute shovel past for a first down, escaping diving lineman to make the game winning TD, and of course throwing off his back foot directly to the other team for 6 the other way.  But we remeber him for all the good things, for the genuine excitment he brought to the game, and for the way we can relate to him. He doesn't site in front of the cameras with $500 sunglasses and tell us how good he is. Brett Farve, Harrison Ford, revel in their modesty and that is why we will miss them.

Everyday Jones, yep - we love you.
