Just a quick post before class! If you haven't come across the Free Hugs Campaign yet have a look at the following Youtube video.
There are 51 million views on the video for a good reason. It makes you feel good. It makes me feel like I want to throw down all my fears and run out and hug the world. Has anyone tried giving out free hugs to strangers? Is this something you'd be interested in?
Please comment!

Free Hugs?

Hey Johnny! I stumbled on your blog, and whaddya know, it was a good entry to stumble on! I have indeed given out free hugs.
It was part of a fundraiser for ALS, and my friend and I even found ourselves in some massive group hugs :) I came up with the idea because people with ALS gradually become paralyzed...the slogan for the ALS Society is "What would you do, while you still could?" Check out this ad:

I felt so warm inside afterwards. You'd have been surprised how many students I normally pass by in the hall who, when asked, "would you like a free hug?" said some version of "I really would!"
My uncle, who is living with ALS, has told me that "the hardest part is not being able to hug someone you care about".
Hey Colls :) Thanks so much for the post. Good on you for giving out free hugs! I imagined just like I saw in most Free Hug videos on Youtube that the reaction would be a very good one.
About your uncle, we can learn a lot from him. I'll hug more. :)
