A Newman For Inspiration

Ever since Paul Newman died it had me really stop and think. I remember watching one of his most iconic films "Cool Hand Luke" in high school and thought to myself, I could be like that. Very few know this but I am the definitive anti-hero that just doesn't quite fit in. Truth be told for as long as I can remember I am and always will be the square peg in the round hole.

Odd as this may sound, I sincerely felt a connection with everything about that character and the movie itself. Whenever I felt things didn't go my way for days on end, I'd swear I could hear the soundtrack play in the background. Feeling the sweat drip from my brow, one bead at a time as it slid down onto the cheekbone, I heard the music.

Looking back I never thought this would be a movie that made me into the person that I am now. When I heard that Paul [Newman] died, he inspired an idea how to build enough capital for my dreams to be reality. Upon looking forward, I will always stop and think about the rebel inside me. Someone with a cause and to create change always for the better yet still be somewhat of a rebel is to be a something that people talk about.
