worth watching.



jeremy showed this to me last night, surprised i had never seen it. i guess it's been around a while? either way, i thought it was really great and that everybody should hear these words if they haven't already.

this was my favorite version on youtube. baz lurhmann is fantastic.

  3. That's what I've been trying to tell you all of your life. If we all followed baz's counsel we sure would be happier. How did the wedding pictures turn out?

  4. Hi Maddie, I'm your Grandma's neighbor. You may not know that a woman named Mary Schmich wrote this. Baz Luhrman was the reader.
    It has been mistakenly attributed to Kurt Vonnegut for many years. This is wonderful -- it's perfect advice.
