    This is a documentary i have told tons of people about, but i doubt most have actually gotten around to seeing it. It chronicles the the final months of Jonny Kennedy's life.

    Kennedy has a horrific genetic condition called Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) -- which meant that his skin literally fell off at the slightest touch, leaving his body covered in agonising sores and leading to a final fight against skin cancer.

    People in the UK may already be aware of this short film, but apart from a couple plays on TLC in like 2005 i don't think many people stateside have had the pleasure of viewing it. Insanely inspirational, funny, and sad. Watch as Mr. Kennedy narrates his own funeral. wow.

    if you click these out to youtube you can watch them a bit bigger:

    I think you told me to watch this a year ago. I loved it and I've shown a bunch of other people too. The dude has an awesome sense of humor about everything.

    watch this again, it's not nearly as gross as the video caps might make you think.
