I know this is an odd, "Escapist Reality" post, but, I don't have much time these days and I feel this is an appropriate post, all things considered. It relates to role-models. And not the incredibly funny (much funnier than even I excepted) movie, no, this is more literal.
See, in the past, my role models focused on really awesome, albeit painfully alone characters who, despite their best intentions, ultimately decided that the only way for them to live, was to live alone. Let me cite such characters as Dr. Gregory House, Drizzt Do'Urden, or, I don't know, the main character from "Fallout".
But these days, characters such as several of the lead roles in Chuck, characters such as Chuck, himself, or Captain Awesome (no links... just watch the series) are my modern-day role models.
These are adult-males, living in the "real" world who truly just want to be awesome guys. Men who live up to that ancient code, that knightly rules-of-conduit, that I have always admired and, as a guy, always hoped to epitomize.
Beyond holding the doors and offering an arm, these are guys who understand love and sacrifice and devotion. They are just great role-models. And if they can get a good joke or two slid into the scenes in the process, more power to them. 
But it's tough to translate ideals and conceptional acts of fictional characters into a life that, truthfully, one didn't consider possible. But having someone to share your life, your passions, your dreams, your stupid, boring stories is so much better than having a stoic, brooding persona. It's more difficult as well. But it's worth it. It's something to work at and work towards, but the payoff is there.
I know this is a sobering post considering my absence on this site. But, honestly, I don't know how much time I have to devote to this site right now. Ideally, a lot more than I have. Realistically... who knows.
But, if this post must linger as "the most recent post" for a long time, I think I'd like to leave it as this: the world of fantasy and escapist reality is within reach; it can be part of the every day. I've always believed this and, though it might be something you have to fight for, it's worth fighting for.
"Reality" in all it's painful glory is a necessary, much like making sure you have internet access to get to EscapistReality.net. But reality in quotes is just the stuff you have to do. Escapist Reality is the stuff you want to do, the stuff you'd rather do than the stuff you have to do.
You should never give up on trying to get to your Escapist Reality. What's there might, and likely will, change over time, but it's a worthwhile place to be. You've lost not when you fail to get there, but when you no longer strive to get there.
I'll see you later in Escapist Reality,
- Savage
