The internet is undoubtedly teaming with condolences, grieving and other information as it comes in regards to the passing of Steve Jobs today. An avid Mac user & tech industry girl, myself, I wanted to share my condolences for this incredible loss. To family, friends, the technology industry and ultimately the world.
The world has certainly lost one of the most revolutionary and brilliant minds there has ever been. A profound thinker, and endless dreamer coupled with persistence and intelligence rivaled by few, he changed the face of technology and entertainment for eternity.
The commence speech from 2005 below highlights many of his admirable characteristics and he explains how he came from a college drop out (Which gives me hope as I am still -not by choice- BFA-less) to a multi-billion dollor corporation that changed the personal computer forever. Not to mention founding Pixar, which has brought me endless joy and hours of entertainment in the form of Finding Nemo, Kung-Fu Panda, and countless other childrens films.
“…death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new…Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
But if you insist on turning a blind eye to all common sense and decide to have a day/week/month/lifetime of making stupid choices please limit those to choices that ONLY affect yourself.
Don’t wait until the last minute to bail on tentative plans involving other people (Especially when they involve a financial commitment). Just because you’ve sorted yourself out, doesn’t mean your job is done. What happened to ride or die? How about, “Ride or I’m going to fucking kill you.”
I’m pretty easy going with just about everything (organising my bookshelf/dishwasher aside). But, when me making plans and finding out how much money I have to spend is contingent upon you getting back to me before New Years (it’s June) and I SEE YOU ON FACEBOOK but you wont respond to my IMs or text messages… YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!
I haven’t posted in ages. That’s because I’ve been too busy drinking and ruining my life being productive and making good life choices.
On a completely related note: I’m going to Vegas soon. I haven’t been since I was a little kid. And for anyone who knows anything, Vegas when you’re under the age of 21 (much less under 12) is like taking an infant to a strip club and expecting them to enjoy it. Sure they might appreciate the tits, for a completely different reason than they’re actually present for, but for the most part it’s the general attitude of “What the fuck am I doing here? I don’t even know what alcohol is yet so there is absolutely nothing within my realm of knowledge that could possibly make this more interesting.” Read the rest of this entry »
Just like is was supposed to the last time, and the time before that… and the time before that.
Luckily, for me, I am certainly not going to heaven… Sooo. In lieu of that, I am getting in touch with all my friends (because the are definitely not getting into heaven either – if you have meet someone the people I choose to surround myself with, you’ll know this is a FACT) and we’re preparing for a) the Zombie Apocalypse as CDC has informed us, or b) steal a cruise ship and a life times supply of xanax, alcohol, and apple pie and coffee to prepare ourselves for a round the world cruise, stopping off at variable locations to hijack more supplies, attractive people and exotic animals.
If you would like to be considered as a participant in our journey, please reply explaining why you are not going to heaven, what you can contribute to these festivities and where we should pull into port to pick you up.
