Take a look at the film below and then, what...

Last week a young family member pass away of a degenerative brain disease. For a long while – years in fact – no one knew he was ill. As the disease progressed, eating away at his brain, there were only 2 sentences that he was able to utter. These 2 sentences were about being asked to join his favorite band on stage to sing a few songs. As the rest of his brain became violent for no r...

A rapper at 89 years old? Yes! And only Betty White can pull it off. I stumbled across this video while watching the Glee Christmas on YouTube. It turns out that this is an ad for something or other, but it’s fun, fun, fun. I want to be Betty White when I grow up, or grow old, or just grow into a place where I will try anything for the artistic challenge. I love you Betty! ...
