Life is too short...
... to hold a grudge
... to not tell someone you love them
... to waste time being angry about things you can't change
... to wait to make a difference
... to say "I'll do it tomorrow"
... to tell the kids "We'll do that next week"
... to wait and take that trip another time
... to not ask or offer forgiveness.
... to be in a relationship that brings you down
... to worry about what others will think
... to worry - either you can do something about or you can't
... to regret what you did that you can't change
... to not do what you are passionate about
... to not enjoy today
... to not care about your health.
... to wait
... for unnecessary "drama"
... to not mean what you say and say what you mean

51 Hours left to live
There is an incredible discussion happening on Reddit with a man who has about 2 days left to live and he decided to share his wisdom with everyone. Here is a link to it: 51 hours left to live
I just wanted to re-post some of his quotes and question and answers below:
"nothing we have is worth hurting anyone else for. It's all fleeting people. Stop seeing race, color, sex, religion, etc.... They're all just people, and if you try to love them you won't lose anything."
To a question are you scared of dieing? Lucidening (original poster) replied:
- Terrified, but I won't ever tell my family that. I hope it doesn't hurt
Another redditor replied with a Socrates quote:
"To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise, for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them, but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?"
To a person who plans on committing a suicide Lucidening has to say this:
- "I would tell him that it's not living that's failed him, it's life. We can always change our life as long as were living. He's addressing the wrong issue".
Q: A lot of people oppose death with dignity, labeling them "doctor assisted suicide". Do you have any words that might convince people who oppose it why you chose this option?
A: Yes, I do. Why do they oppose peoples right to not suffer? It takes numerous doctors to get here ensuring no one uses this option recklessly. My care is a huge burden to my loved ones, and it's not fair to position your suspicions over their realities.
Q: any regrets?
A: Yes, one. I bought my high school sweetheart an engagement ring and never gave it to her. Life happened, meaning in was dumb. I went in the military after a dumb fight and.... Yeah just one
Q: proudest moment?
A:Finishing my masters degree, from a hospital bed. First person in my family to get one!
Q:What would be your advice on taking chances and meeting new people? Or on Fear?
A: what long term risk is there in saying hello? I can't find any. Worst case, is you get some possessive asshole that thinks your hitting on his sister and you get a black eye. Total pain and shame lasts maybe a month. Meeting the right girl though lasts forever. So you tell me, would you trade a month of shame for a life of happiness?

Woz on Net Neutrality
I do not want metered internet, no sane person does and I applaud Steve Wozniak's open letter to FCC.
"Not only is current action on Net Neutrality one of the most important times ever for the FCC, it's probably the most momentous and watched action of any government agency in memorable times in terms of setting our perception of whether the government represents the wealthy powers or the average citizen, of whether the government is good or is bad. This decision is important far beyond the domain of the FCC itself."
Full text of the article can be found here.

Supersonic things come to those who are patient :)
Although my Touch Pro served me well the Android OS has been winking at me for the past 1.5 years. I didn't feel there were any worthy phones to replace my Pro but it all changed 5 month ago with the announcement of Evo.
By the time I made my decision to pre-order the Evo all of the 50,000+ unit have been spoken for within 48 hours!!! So I hoped that a local Radio Shack might have an extra ones I could pick up on launch day. I was told to go early (before 6AM) if I wanted one since the quantities were limited. Last night I felt like a kid before Christmas morning expecting to pick up that awesome gift I have been longing for.
Well here I was waiting for 1 of 3 units available at 5:45AM @ z Shack. I was the first in line and within 10 minutes the other two phones were gone. Quantities were indeed limited.
Was it worth it? HELL YA! This phone definitely lives up to its hype and a worthy upgrade, simply put I love it!
