*M&M* (and anyone having a bad day)

LessThanZero

A coworker showed me this video today. This guy shows you how to do a dance party on your own. I'm not sure what his medical condition is, maybe dwarfism? But he has such an awesome, fun attitude about life. It just made me smile.

Anyway, he reminded me of you and how you have dance parties in your living room all by yourself.  I think I need to do that later also.

Here's the video:

Oh my goodness - this totally, totally made my day.  That was awesome.  He's so cute!  And he has such a great attitude.  Not a bad dancer, either

I totally have dance parties in my apartment.  I think I'll have one tonight.

[QUOTE]I can't see it here, but is this the guy who lip synchs the words? Also, I have my bitchface on today.  I don't know why--I am just irrationally angry.  I should be glad--I had testing in my classes, so I got a ton of grading done, my classroom looks great, and we're getting Halloween costumes today.  I'm just angry. :-\

No it's a different one than the lipsyncher.

I'm sorry you're wearing your bitchface. Watch the video when you get home, it will help. I promise.

I know, right? If he can be so happy, WTF is my problem? It made my day too. I will also be having a dance party in my living room tonight. With wine.

Okay .  Thank you for accepting my bitchface.

Yeah his spirit is totally infectious.

Have you seen that video of the guy with no arms or legs?  The inspirational speaker.  I can't remember his name.  But listening to him speak brings tears to my eyes.

I don't think I've seen it. But I bet it's a tear-jerker. This dance-party guy had me wanting to tear up a bit too, but I was at work so it wasn't an option!

AATB- I have seen that guy, i cried a lot when i heard him speak. I couldn't imagine going through life like that, and then be in that great of spirits to tell about it. Some people truly cease to amaze me.

I always cry over the father who does the triathalon with his son who has MS.  He pulls him in a raft during the swimming part and carries him in the race.  It is so freaking inspiring/make-me-feel-bad-about-my-bitchface.

His name is Nick Vujicic and he has a book coming out next week (10/26/10) called "Life Without Limits".  All you have to do is listen to him for 30 seconds and realize how much we all have to be grateful for and to appreciate the little things we CAN do instead of bitch and moan about what we can't.

Oh my gosh, that guy is amazing. I am so glad you shared that, what an inspiration.

I am joining the dance party train.

Oh, and on a note of sharing videos of inspirational people, this guy is one of my tops. I saw him on So You Think You Can Dance and he is unbelievable.
