Ben Breedlove and the Other Side



I don't know the whole story on this video yet. This is part II - part I provides a little more background about Ben Breedlove and his health condition. What strikes me about this video is his description of the near-death experience. The light; the peace; the wanting to stay there. I had a similar experience, but I would describe it as an "awareness of being," rather than near-death, or cheating death.

He talks about his favorite rap artist, Kid Cudi, and a particular recording, "Mr. Rager" — weirdly enough, my maiden name is Rager, so I looked up the lyrics and the official video. I have to admit, it made no sense to me. It was very dark and depressing.

I couldn't make out from the "Mr. Rager" video whether they were pronouncing the name "Rager" with a soft "g" or a hard "G" - the proper pronunciation is with a hard "G." But who's to say what is "proper?"
