This was incredibly inspiring for me, and I wanted to share it. Hadn't really realized till now that the only reason I'm trying so hard to get all my college shit together and stuff like that isn't out of practicality, it's out of fear, of so many things. And Even with such a serious message and everything, though, he still makes everyone laugh without taking away from his actual point. I'm going to really try to follow some of the things he said from here on out.

It's a [I]really[/I] good speech, and I highly recommend watching the whole thing. I did a search of the forums, didn't see it posted. Apologies if I'm late.

A little off topic, but isn't Carrey anti-vax?

Jesus really?
Yeah he is, but does that really distract from what he said? It was b, e, a utiful.

I've come to the point where I've realized no one can be all good and everyone's going to have their weird quirks that suck. A lot of my favorite people have really weird backgrounds, like Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips kind of going crazy over the past few years. He can be a bit of a loony and an ass but his band's music is just absolutely awesome, and I believe in his music. Jim Carrey can be terribly wrong with his protest of vaccinations, but he's still a funny guy and a nice once too. And according to this video he's very insightful.

And pulled support for Kick-Ass 2 because of violence, in context of the Sandy Hook shooting.

He's a bit of a political crazy, honestly, but he's still able to come up with good stuff like this.

He kind of lost me with the whole "don't plan anything just walk through the doors of life" bit or maybe I interpreted it wrong. Other than that I thought it was a nice speech.

His meaning was to work towards something that you want, don't try to imagine how it will turn out, just work for it. When the opportunity presents itself, go for it.
