I literally watched this three days ago. It was funny, well planned, certainly thought provoking, and I can tell he inspired several upon several people. Personally, I think my age and lack of experience dealing with terminal illness kind of left me sort of disconnected (I know that sounds horrible but it's honest) but I did find it interesting. His life story is kind of astounding alone, and I can understand doing it for his kids. I don't know if he's Ghandi but he is definitely a really good man and that's not something to discount. It's sad that he passed but he held on for a lot longer then most do with pancreatic cancer.

Personally I'm in one of the best positions in my life, and because of that my attitude is similar to yours. I've been accepted to an incredible program in a field that I thought for a long time wouldn't ever be more then a distant passion; I left political science to become an actor. Responsible. I just got out of a somewhat restricting relationship that allows me to move freely in my life and make decisions based on my own wants and needs which is fantastic. I am dating, getting out a lot, meeting droves of new people, hell, I am even starting to love where I grew up, which, for the record, I spent most of my life resenting. Hell, I like myself even, and I've spent even longer resenting that.

What I want is to work for a company that gives teens and adolescents proper training and professional experience in a small town environment. There used to be a company call "Characters Incorporated" here when I was very young and my mentor ran it. He gave it up a few years ago, and since I've been doing theatre I've always wanted to work at reviving something similar.

Like I mentioned before at my age everything seems so disconnected; hell, I'm still a baby, and I'm well aware. Death is such a hard thing to comprehend; and even in comprehension it's impossible to analyze it. You could say "I understand the power of death, what it means" but can you really say "I know with a certainty what it means to me". On the other hand I might have little to no idea what the fuck I'm talking about. So at this point in my life, no, it hasn't really made a difference as to which way I sway, or in some cases, don't sway.
