Life of the Party (Party of Life)

Further pondering the characters in 50/50, I tried to derive one word for Kyle, played by Seth Rogen. I came up with “unedited.” 

When Kyle, Adam's best friend, has an idea, it blurts out, without much contemplation (if any at all). Is that good, bad, or ugly? My answer, similar to the response some give to the question 'do you have an innie or outtie belly button': yes. Unedited can be one of or all three at once – good, bad, ugly,,,like a string of non-Adams coming together to form a molecule known as Kyle.

Are today’s reality shows truly unedited? The last show I remember being completed unedited was C-SPAN. (Yawn).

But getting back to Kyle. In the end (and perhaps at the beginning and middle), you want Kyle around. He’s vibrant, alive. Feeling. And yes, at times he can be vulgar and obnoxious.

Without good, bad, ugly around, life of the party (party of life) lacks spice.
