So a while back, while glancing at the news sites (which I do from time to time) and ending up over on the ABCNews.com website, I found this little article about a man named Randy Pausch. He was a 47 year old father of three, who was a professor at Carnagie Mellon University. He was also terminally...
I just learnt that Randy Pausch passed away. I did not know him and I feel I did. I had a post on Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture' pretty soon after he gave it and that lecture, VERY appropriately, went on to being watched by millions. Oprah brought him in too and yes - I watched again since I couldnt...
"I don't know how to not have fun," he said in the lecture. "I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day I have left. Because there's no other way to play it." - AP Randy Pausch passed away today. Love to his family and all he touched.

"At first the melody would come and walk with me through the mists in North Cornwall England. I would take this melody back to the Hammond Organ, the B3. I would sit and play with this for hours. Soon I began to have to deal with my mother's heart condition and she survived a cardiac arrest in...
What exactly is the secret behind the dolphin deaths in Las Vegas? Are they being killed, as PETA suggests? Or, like some people, could they be faking their deaths to get away from an untenable situation? ** Big Jo never understands animal instincts. **
I am writing this on what should be a typical Sunday afternoon - except that it is not. This morning, the dad of a dear friend was laid to rest. This morning, I also got to thinking about my own mortality. I’ve always thought that I wouldn’t grow older than my father was when he passed away....

Are we intrigued by the death of someone that we don't personally know. I think that we are. I know that I am both intrigued and deeply affected, sometimes for reasons that I cannot explain. For example: When Dale Earnhardt was killed in the 2001 Daytona 500 I was not a Nascar fan. This particularly...
In a sentence, Bucket List is about terminal cancer patients: Edward (Jack Nicholson) and Carter (Morgan Freeman), thrown in the same hospital room and ended up ticking off their to-do list together before they kick the bucket. I normally hate movie that has 'main character(s) dying' theme. I do not...
So this is what hell feels like. I don't mean to sound flippant, but I really need to vent (a little bit more than I already have). Two deaths in a row. wtf? Grandmother on Friday. Susie (one of my dogs) on Sunday. This is for Susie. And again I don't have a decent pic. I brought Susie home in a...

...if you have a weak disposition. I just came across this page, thanks to the wonders of StumbledUpon: The 5 Most Horrifying Bugs in the World. Scary and educational in equal measure. No. It's more scary than educational. And you must watch the videos. Then like me, you won't sleep tonight. For...
[space for a good pic when I find it] What I am, what I do, I've inherited from you. You grew deep roots. As do I. You listened to only your own reason. As do I. You followed your heart and not your head. As do I. You were a force to be reckoned with, and there is no better legacy than this to carry...
The legendary George Carlin dies at 71 and leaves behind some performances that have altered media guidelines. When he uttered all seven at a show in Milwaukee in 1972, he was arrested on charges of disturbing the peace, freed on $150 bail and exonerated when a Wisconsin judge dismissed the case,...
