Inquiries

I'm a husband. And a dad. I once fell off the back of a moving car and landed on a cactus while trying to catch an escaped horse. That's kinda me in a nutshell.

Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.

Here is David Foster Wallace’s 2005 Kenyon College commencement speech “This Is Water.”

The author of maybe the best novel of the past 20 years and maybe the best essay collection of the past 20 years also gave maybe the best commencement speech of the past 20 years. 

You can see more inspirational graduation speeches here.

Sweet fancy molasses this video/speech are absolutely amazing.
