If you could have a drink/dinner with any 5 people alive or dead who would they be? You can if you choose say why. Here is my list in no specific order

1) George Lucas
2) Stan "The Man" Lee
3) Carl Sagan
4) Albert Einstein
5) John Lennon

They have all in so many ways made me the person I am today. They have inspired me in more ways than I can explain and I know I will carry that inspiration with me till I pass from this life. But...if only to share with you all an example of what began my interest in the above listed. Here is at least one reason for each to explain my passion and perhaps to ignite that same passion in you.

1) George Lucas: If you have not seen the Star Wars saga. Free up a day. Find a big screen TV, Alot of popcorn, and release that big kid in yourself. May the force be with you...always.

2) Stan Lee: The god father of Marvel Comics. As much as George Lucas inspired and entertained me with 6 simple movies. Stan Lee and his creations have inspired and entertained me every Wednesday for over 20+ years. I know George Lucas is done with his saga. But the thought that when I pass from this life I wont be able to read the stories of my favorite heroes saddens me. He made me a true believer...Nuff Said

3) Carl Sagan: To much to say...If I had to choose one thing to share his wisdom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_blue_dot Read the paragraph he wrote. It changed the way I look at life.

4) Albert Einstein: What can I say. Who would not want to sit and talk with perhaps the greatest mind this world has ever known. His theories changed they way we all look at the world.

5) John Lennon: Like Carl Sagan and his "Pale Blue Dot". John Lennon and his song "Imagine" have shaped and defined me in so many ways. http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/jo...n/imagine.html While the link conveys the lyrics. If you have not already...sit with a clear and open mind...and listen to the song.
