i've watched this video twice in the past 2 days.... i can't get over how amazing this man was. It's so inspiring to see someone tackle an illness the way he has. I've lost so many people to this awful disease, but seeing someone take a stand for life is unbelieveably refreshing. i can't get over this.. for those of you who haven't read the book, read the book, and then rewatch this video... it's a whole new experience

I just submitted my app to carnegie mellon... I SO hope I get in
Amazing how GhostMan800 expresses an opinion, and gets attacked for it. I disagree with his opinion, since I think Randy is interesting and smart, but I have some of my own opinions and don't want to be attacked for them. We should welcome opinions that don't match our own, it may expand our minds. Seems like it's illegal to criticize the dead. When I die, I don't expect exemption from criticism. As Randy said about aplause "Make me earn it". NOBODY can earn EVERYONE's regard
amazing book. amazing person.
he has inspired me so much.
R.I.P Randy Pausch. I hope you know that your story has inspired at least one person in this world, & i have no doubt in my mind that it has inspired many more.
