A hopeless hope? Hopefully not.

I like stories. Whether its the oral kind, the visual kind, the written kind, or whatever kind there is, if it's got a story to tell, i'll probably stop, look, and listen. But as far as stories go, the stuff that really gets me hooked will most certainly have great, deep, fun characters. No, i don't mean bo#$r inducing scantily clad women with red lolipops, whipped cream and syrup just begging to be....ehem... I'm getting off track, sorry. Anyway, I don't mean women when I say its the characters that get me really engrossed on a story. What I meant to say was the story's characters and their attitude, personality, values, and principles is what makes it so fun going through a great story.

After 17 interesting years in this beautiful yet god-forsaken world, I've come across a handful of admirable, or at least fun, personas while watching tv, reading books, manga, anime, and other sources of tales. Eikichi Onizuka of GTO, Monkey D. Luffy of One Piece, Alan Shore and Denny Crane of Boston Legal are some of these characters that I have come to know and love.

I've always wished to meet these people. Or at least, meet someone real that reflects the personality, beliefs, and attitude towards life of these characters. Its kinda crazy, I know. But just humor me for a second. I mean, wouldn't you want to meet someone you've always admired from your bedtime stories like Sherlock Homes, Addicus Finch, Achilles, Superman, or maybe Son Goku from Dragon Ball?

Why not Jesus? I mean, I'd like to converse with Jesus of the Bible even if just for a few minutes and DO NOT get all church-ish on me. I get the whole praying thing. What I'm saying is really grabbing Jesus of Nazareth right from the pages of the Almighty Text. Really, wouldn't that be something--talking with the real thing, the big cahuna Himself.

Is the hope of meeting them, or at least someone with a semblance of them, so...hopeless? Hopefully not.
