John Wayne

To Didion, John Wayne was the perfect example of the iconic man in american history. She described him like there was no other, explaining how he was a man that went by his own rules and did whatever he wanted to do. Whether it be vigilante work, or telling a woman to come along with him on adventure deep into the unconquered west, John Wayne was a man of adventure and excitement that Didion loved.

Yesterday, I watched a documentary on Kyle Clash, the puppetteer for Elmo on the Sesame Street. Kyle Clash grew up in a lower class neighborhood where the town circulated on high school football games, and late night outdoor movies. Mr. Clash was different, ever since he was a kid he had always had a passion and love for puppeteers and the shows that they put on. This love inspired him to become one as well, even though everyone else in his life had always followed the crowd around them instead of following their own dreams and aspirations. By the age of 17, Kyle found himself working for Jim Henson the creator of Seasame street, adn his career sky rocketed form there. The rest is history. He inspires me to follow my dreams for whatever I find to love, even if it is not the regular path that everyone may seem to be the right one. I am not sure what I want to be but after watching Kyle's documentary I know that once I find my passion I will pursue it, and become as successful as I can be in my specific talent.
