This is Water, David Foster Wallace

This an excerpt of the excellent commencement speech David Foster Wallace gave at Kenyon College in 2005, set to video.

I’ve either heard or read this speech at least 8 or 9 times, and I still got sucked in to watching the entire video.

You can read the whole speech online and in book form or watch it on YouTube. (via kung fu grippe)
