I remember after I went to the Holocaust Museum in DC, I felt like I was in a weird position. It’s one of the best, most well-put-together museums I’ve ever seen - and incredibly moving. So, people would ask me what it was like and I’d say “AWESOME! You have to go!” And I’d sound like a total Nazi. I started saying clinically, “It’s a really great museum,” but then I sounded so detached I came off like a Nazi scientist. Even worse! Finally I settled on stumbling through “so sad, horrible…but really great, like for a museum - the museum part of it is great. Not the Nazi part. I mean, that’s just terrible, right? Jeez. No one likes Nazis. Or slaughtered jews. Consider me not in favor of that!”

I find myself in a similar situation in recommending my friend, Morgan’s videoblog. It’s a superfunny, great videoblog, by one of the most engaging and human performers I know. Also, it’s about his cancer. But Morgan should have been doing blogs like these for the last few years anyway. Everything he writes or does is great, so I am totally stoked that he’s got this video project. Which makes me want to punch my horrible Nazi scientist self in the face because I should not be stoked that my friend has a Cancer Videoblog!

But it’s so good, ya’ll.
So, it’s sad, terrible…but really great. The videoblog part of it is great. The cancer part sucks.

I’d still trade the videoblog for a cancer-free Morgan. I suppose that’s exactly what I’ll do when he gets all better and stops.
