James Dean Quote on Immortality

Just watched a documentary on James Dean. Wow. He was a very interesting actor, artist and human. This quote is so true.

"I think there is only one form of greatness for man. If a man can bridge the gap between life and death. I mean, if he can live on after he has died, then maybe he was a great man. To me the only success, the only greatness, is immortality."

-- James Dean

Phillip Pike

Lorne was at a 10th birthday party for a school friend today. Lorne says his friend is arab. I was reminded of a friend I had a Lescon Public School when I was in grade 5 or 6 - Phillip Pike.

I did a search on "Phillip Pike" and came up with this article on him.

He is now a film maker and his first video, Songs Of Freedom, is a 75-minute long documentary on the lives of gay and lesbian Jamaicans.

"Arriving in Canada from Jamaica in 1971 and moving to the Toronto neighbourhood of North York with his family."
