Search Results: lives of celebrities

I recently found a very small YouTube channel. She is small time and has only been making videos for a few months. The thing is... She is exactly like me and we have 100 things in common. Like.. I'f I met this girl in real life I would definitely be friends with her. Like everything she says, even to small details, is exactly how I think. We have even been in the same situations with minor random details being the same and have the same life stories and viewpoints. It's so " holy cow" that It feels weird.
And I know, the idea of meeting someone off youtube sounds weird. But I mean, people meet online in today's world. She is very small time to the point she is just a normal person. It's not like she is a famous YouTuber and could be considered a YouTube "celebrity". Imagine going on a dating site and instead of just seeing a picture you saw video after video of the girl being identical to you. I really wish I met this person in real life though because to me, it sounds weird. Being that - I have never done this and am not a delusional stalker lolWe have so many things in common and I feel a connection to her. She is a normal person and isn't "famous" Is it at all doable?

Pope John Paul II died on this day in 2005. What is your opinion of him?

A quick summary of his life and work, for those interested...

He was born Karol Wojtyla on May 18, 1920 in Wadowice, Poland. He was ordained a priest in 1946, after having trained in secret due to the Nazi invasion and occupation of Poland. In October 1978, he was elected pope at the comparatively young age (by papal standards) of 58 and had one of the longest reigns in history.

In his youth, he was known to be very pious and athletic, and loved theater. His mother died in 1929, then his older brother some time later. His father died of a heart attack in 1941. He participated in secret theater productions in order to keep Polish culture alive during World War II.

As a priest, he had a great love for theology and philosophy. After the fall of the Nazis, the Communists invaded Poland, for whom he was also problematic.

As pope, he upheld Church dogma on things like abortion, marriage, and sexual morality. He also helped bring about the downfall of the Soviet Union. On the other hand though, he traveled too much, approved some very bad appointments for bishops, and made the papacy into something of a celebrity.
