RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 34: Who has influenced you

@dandays, I suspect we just have different concepts of what an influencer really is. Those that you are mentioning are just that: mentors, teachers, whatevah but not necessarily influencers.

More to the point. And also taking advantage of the opportunity to answer @kemmyb question: "Is it possible not to have a single influencer in one's life?

According to your words mentioning mentors & teachers as influencers. Then, I guess there are no biggest influencers in our life than our own parents and siblings. Prolly being our mom the one who is at the top of that influencer list. Right?

However, all of them are only "that" too: Our mom, our dad and our brothers. No more no less. And certainly not specifically 'influencers' as I understand the phrase.

Hence, according what you are saying and what @galenkp also said in a comment above in this thread, then, we'd have to say that everyone, absolutely everyone, has been an influencer in our lives. But that according my own interpretation, maybe I'm classifying a true influencer in a somewhat higher level. :)

Therefore, if you both just take the time to read thoroughly the old post I'm doing reference above when I name to Antonio the Andalusian as an authentic "influencer" in my life. It's more likely you also will understand my own position and point of view of what an influencer is to me.

Cheers!!

Thanks for the detailed explanation. This must mean you thought I was serious and not just messin with you.

If that's the case, who is this and what have you done with @por500bolos?

Antonio the Andalusianc, dirt bike rider, right?

I didn't know if I caught you on a sensitive day or wtf. My previous response woulda said fuckin with you but I wasn't sure if maybe the cat shit in your cereal this morning so I said messin.

I totally get it. Cat shit cereal days are the worst.

Well this reads more like the por500bolos that I'm familiar with.

Dictatorship ISP. I wanna write 'that's funny' but it's probably 100% true so it ain't funny—I won't write it. We had a challenging time when we were trying to acclimate to central and South America during our journey. Water shuts off 10 hours/day. Power goes in and out and, yeah, internet was shotty at best.

You're doin great!
