Look at yourself after watching this.

A very amazing individual. I hope it's not a repost.

He really does. He got handed an absolute shit hand in life and he is making the most of it, and with a smile on his face. I get down in the dumps over stuff, but I think I'll be remembering this guy the next time I do.

Reminds me of this comedian I once saw.

He was missing his legs if I recall right and his entire routine was based on disability jokes. He was making the best out of it.
He was hilarious! He did say that he found it sad that he knows a lot of people aren't laughing due to political correctness. He pointed at me and was like "I like you man, you're not uptight" because I was lmao.

I talked to him after the show. He told me growing up was hard but he learned to deal with it and made the best of it. Great and insparational man.

cool video and nice find man

Man I have a lump in my throat after watching the video (you know the one where you get a bit emotional). I would like to meet this guy as well as a new outlook on life. Amazing video! Thanks for posting!

I had that too. It's just one of those things where you sit back and go "Holy shit... what am I complaining about again?"

Here is his Wikipedia article (I know, Wikipedia isn't 100% accurate, blah blah blah), but I would guess it is mostly accurate. For instance, it mentions a couple things like the phone and tennis ball that he demonstrates on his tour, and you can see a phone and tennis ball in that video.

Sorry, one more. This shows what a sense of humor this guy has, plus he answers the phone like a pro.
I loved the part at about 2:00 in.

Man that's the coolest dude ever!! There's a movie that I really liked too. It's a feel good movie called "in front of the class". It's a Hallmark classic. It's about a guy with tourette syndrome (muscle twitches, blurting out things, etc.) that was trying to become a teacher. He went through a lot of crap and made it at the end. Good movie.

Glad I could share it. I plan on keeping it in the back of my head the next time I have a "bad day".
