iTS's sad

I didn't want this to be another lame ass obituary for someone I didn't know just like everybody that came out of the woodwork when Amy Winehouse or Michael Jackson died. In fact, apart from the iPhone I'm blogging from the only other way Steve Jobs affected my life was by the thousands of MAC users that didn't call me for tech support cos their shit just worked. Why do we stop everything when someone famous dies? People die all the time and guess what so will I. It's part of life and it's really only sad for the people we leave behind. My Grandmother died of breast cancer & it's a bitch of a disease and it was so cruel to watch her wincing in pain even with all the morphine she had. I am grateful however, to have spent some of those last moments with her. It was just me and her as each family member got to take their turn to be with her. I was sad as I saw her asleep knowing she might not wake up but I had this inner peace knowing life goes on and at that moment nothing else going on in my life mattered. Steve Jobs had a loving family, true friends that shared his passion not just his money and leaves this world with no regrets. We're not all going to achieve what he did & at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Ticking boxes of achievement may be important to some people but once you've ticked all the boxes what are you left with? Just what you started out with. You can't take it with you and does money really make you happy? It makes things easier and comfortable for sure. But the most humbling thing about life is that nobody gets outta here alive. Even the rich and powerful.
