I was up til late last night and wanted to blog about my irritation with parenting, ex-love issues and other bullshit but I refrained because I was mourning the death of Steve Jobs. Obviously, I didn't know him however, in college his name came up frequently. His speech that he gave at Stanford was phenomenal and of course, became a useful tool for professors in their classrooms. Also, I have/had Apple everything...Ipod, Ipad, Imac, Macbook & Iphone and they are quality products in comparison to the competition. I could only dream of being as innovative and creative as he. His life was inspirational. It blows my mind that his Macintosh concept started in his parents garage at the age of 20!!! What was I doing and thinking about at 20?....Fucking! Getting high, going out partying and Fucking some more!...Steve Jobs didn't go to college/university because his parents couldn't afford to send him however, he didn't let that turn him into a gas station attendant...You feel me? He used what he had, what he was born with to become one of the richest, most successful businessmen in the world. I am not even going to use the race card with this one, the truth is the truth, he was our Thomas Edison. A fucking genius in his own right.
I knew something was up when he stepped down as CEO of Apple about a month ago. Oh, did I tell you that I am teaching myself to be a Trader in my free time? Well, I am...and have been doing so since May, that's the (Economics)/analytical brain I have that's not being utilized at my bill paying job. Anyway, so of course, I have to keep up with current events because they affect the stock, foreign currencies, blah, blah, blah...so when he stepped down the first thing that came to mind was Apple stock, how will consumers react? will the stock go up or will it go down. So this kept his resignation fresh in my mind....btw, I still don't know the answer to the consumer questions, I got sidetracked and haven't been trading in the past 3 weeks...lol! Anyway, he is leaving behind a legacy. To think, I grew up alongside the changes that the Mac has gone through, from the big bulky, slow database type operating system that we had in high school (when they were first introduced) to the laptops & hand-held devices. Its surreal.
It looks like I have some research to do now, I was planning on selling my coochie to get the IPhone 5....but I cant be sure if its still going to come out now...Steve might have taken the recipe to his grave with him.
He will surely be missed!
***RIP STEVE
