I wasn’t going to talk about this. \u00a0Everyone is doing it and sharing their stories. \u00a0I was going to quietly go about my business and be sad in my own little world for a bit.<\/p>\n
I’m not very good at that though. \u00a0I tend to say what I’m thinking and I usually don’t sugar coat things either.<\/p>\n
Not many people like that. \u00a0Not many people “get me”.<\/p>\n
And this is why I decided to post about the very sad passing of Steve Jobs.<\/p>\n
I’m a bit older than a lot of people on the internet it seems. \u00a0I didn’t grow up with a computer. \u00a0It was the 80s and computers were still brand spanking new and super crazy expensive. \u00a0We were on a very tight budget and cable was considered a luxury.<\/p>\n
Going to college was when I got a chance to own my first computer. \u00a0It was an Apple and my parents, my dad especially, wanted to send me off to school prepared. \u00a0That computer cost $2,500.00 that my parents put on a credit card which at the time was a huge deal.<\/p>\n
Even in the 90s not many people had computers at school. \u00a0Everything was still new and the internet especially was brand new. \u00a0I was one of two people to have a computer on my dorm room floor. \u00a0Everyone else had electric typewriters or word processors.<\/p>\n
I loved that computer and have been in love with Apple ever since. \u00a0Yes sometimes the OS drives me a little crazy but the reality is the machines work. \u00a0And they look damn nice.<\/p>\n
That’s just a little back story, mostly for my benefit because I won’t ever forget my first computer. \u00a0Or how when Scott and I first met and he told me he was studying to be a computer engineer, I informed him he must not be a very good one if he didn’t know a thing about Apples. “PCs aren’t the only computers that exist you know. The fact your school only teaches you about one type of computer is a little ridiculous.”<\/p>\n
I told you, I’ll say whatever it is I’m thinking and I don’t sugar coat anything.<\/p>\n
No wonder he fell in love.<\/p>\n
He currently has three Apple products that he uses. \u00a0I’ve got four Apple products that I use. \u00a0We’ve got three more that are out of\u00a0commission.<\/p>\n
The reason that I’m posting about Steve Jobs today is because he understood people like me. \u00a0And people like my husband. \u00a0He got it and damn, it’s so refreshing when someone gets it. When you don’t have to explain or feel like part of you has to be tucked away because people are going to think you’re weird.<\/p>\n
I highly recommend that you click on this image so that you can read the quote. \u00a0It’s a keeper.<\/p>\n Here is a You Tube clip of it as well, Steve Jobs, The Crazy Ones<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’m a Crazy One and thank goodness for others like me out there. \u00a0Thank goodness for those that get us.<\/p>\n RIP Steve.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/SteveJobs_CrazyOnes.png\" "\\"Steve")
