Wow…this is amazing. Randy recently passed away, this is perhaps one of the most wonderful things I have ever seen.

OMG… so I am sitting here surfing the web in search of vector art. I somehow come across your site; you had an image of paper art that caught my attention. I clicked on the home tab and see the words “childhood dreams” in the title of this YouTube video. I click on it… something I never do.
As I’m watching this video I’m reminded of some of my university professors that I admire and think how great this guy is that I’m listening to; whom I’ve never before heard… and I wiki him… and google him and… I’m thinking this is a great video… just what I need. I’ve been on a highs and lows (manic depressive) since February and just can not get out of this “funk.” But I love this video… and it’s making me laugh and inspiring me.
As I’m listening to his voice and his words, I, and I forget on which page and how even though this happened a few minutes ago, I realize that this man passed away today. Today. And I get chills. I mean real goose bumps, real chills and I feel it was no accident that I ended up watching this video.
I don’t like to ignore the little hints and I think that was… Amazing.
Thanks for posting this on your log. I’m lucky I ended up here.
Great lecture. I just finished grad school and with so many questions in my mind, this guy helped me to realize that we can do it with hard work and no complaints.
Thanks for the post!
I have to agree with both of you, as I watched this I actually began to cry when I realized that this was a mans last dying message to his wife and kids. It is just so wonderful that he was good enough to share it with the rest of the world.
I have been thinking about this simple online video for days, and it has begun to inform the decisions I make in life. Lets hope that it sticks with me because it is a truly amazing message. Live life to the fullest, squeeze as much as you can out of every day, never give up, never stop trying, and most importantly try and make the world the best possible place for others that you can.

Rest in peace Randy, you will be missed.
