Top 5: 10 – Fictional Role Models

This is a list of my top five something. Most of the time my lists are pretty static, but sometimes I do change my mind. While I do try to apply some logic to my choices, sometimes I pick things that make no sense and for no good reason other than “I like it.”

Oliver Warbucks played by Albert Finney: Google search forbes.com

Fictional Everyday/Role Model Heroes
1. Atticus Finch
2. Forrest Gump
3. Winnie the Pooh
4. Carl Fridricksen (from Up!)
5. Oliver Warbucks

There are endless numbers of other characters that could and should be on this list- and they are, but I’m only providing the top 5. Some of these characters don’t do much, but sometimes one little thing can make a big difference; showing that people can change leaves quite an impression.

Top 5: 08 – Music Genres

This is a list of my top five something. Most of the time my lists are pretty static, but sometimes I do change my mind. While I do try to apply some logic to my choices, sometimes I pick things that make no sense and for no good reason other than “I like it.”

Music Genres
1. Soul
2. Pop
3. Alternative
4. Hip-Hop
5. Dance

To be honest there are only three genres of music I have trouble listening too.

Bluegrass: I heard really good true bluegrass once and it’s hard to live up to that. Most of it annoys me.

Southern Rock: because it’s basically country music with a quick beat or electric guitar. It’s not bad, but I can’t listen to more than two examples of this on any given day.

Lastly, techno. I get it, you can dance to it, but you don’t have to. Same rule applies here as with Southern Rock.

I really like Jazz and classical, but they are not my everyday listens.
