But a man gotta do, what a man gotta do. http://webspawner.com/users/bananarevolution I have been told that I am a hero for riding my bike even after someone tried to kill me because I was riding a bike, but I don't feel that way. Hero is someone that died for a cause, also known as a martyr. There are few heroes in the sports world (maybe Tom Simpson for cyclists). |
