I was greeted this morning by a friend of mine, with a nice and interesting video. :)

As always David Foster Wallace delivers a message which is outstandingly insightful while still a bit humorous.

This is my friend Jimi who I have done a lot of work with in the field of helping people kick depression in the face!! He specializes in doing insane stuff, and I was privileged enough to be involved in this project. It was possibly the coolest thing I have ever done!! but that slide was terrifying and Ive never been so muddy in my life!

Bottom line. Never give up, and ask for help.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me
