his website where he kept a journal about how he was doing and about all his treatments he was undergoing. it's pretty heart wrenching stuff.

I feel sorry for the guy that he has cancer, but I dont think hes that great of a speaker.I watched 45 mins of the full video and almost fell asleep. Other than all his cheesy jokes, and pointless babble about his career, he really only talks about the "importance of life" very, very briefly...unless this video really heats up after like an hour, leme know and ill watch the rest.

the whole thing is about the importance of life. and this is not the type of talk that will "heat up"... what you get out of it is all up to yourself
