    That was great, something everyone should watch. I looked around and he is still alive and just passed 6 months since they told him he had 3-6 months to live.

    He was/is one hell of a man. If only we could all be so strong and influential.

    There is going to be a special on Dateline (NBC) Friday. So if your interested it will be on.

    Oh, Sorry I didn't catch the time, it should be on whenever Dateline always comes on, sometime at night. ;)

    I watched it last night, but to be honest I didn't find it to be a life-changing experience. Mostly common sense, really.

    However, his courage while facing his own mortality deserves admiration. We should all hope for the opportunity to leave a message like this for our loved ones. Until we are in this position, I suppose none of us really know what we would do.

    My GF just got me to watch him on YouTube. I'd never heard nor seen of him before but....wow, this is the most inspiring thing I have ever seen.

    Anyone who's looking for perspective in their life, watch this...

    RIP Randy.
