Dan Drinker

One of the things about the net that I love is that you are often exposed to things you may have otherwise never gotten a chance to be exposed to. While the net has its share of filth, and things of no significance, sometimes you run across something that so intensely exemplifies the best of this representation of humanity, this collection of things and moments and feelings and people. Recently I ran across a website called www.dandrinker.com . Dan was born with Down Syndrome and his brother Will Drinker has been filming Dan in order to document many of the more significant moments in Dan's life. At first I didn't know what the point of it all was. All one has to do though, is watch, and you'll discover that Dan isn't your average guy with Downs. As his brother said in one of his posts, Dan is a teacher. There's alot to learned from Dan...and basically he is just an awesome fun guy who will say things that are profound in their simplicity. For example he was going on his first date, with Sarah, and his brother asked him why he was so nervous. His response? "She girl. I'm guy." That basically hits the nail on the head.

Absolutely touching stuff.
