My Namesake

“Always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name”

Though it isn’t the name I go by, my first name is still my “family name”. It comes from my uncle, a crazy old man with enough personality to fill the entire city.

He isn’t the type of person who has simply “never met a stranger”, he goes out of his way to talk to others.

Steve Jobs, Pt. 1

For the next few weeks, The Greatest Blog Of All Time will be running a series on the life and times of the late Steve Jobs, founder of Apple and the man who saved America from our sins of using PCs.

The motto of the American Dream is “Get rich or die trying” (copyright 2005, 50 Cent). If there is one thing that American culture values more than a heartwarming rags to riches story, it’s the story of somebody who went from rags to riches and then got fired but then got MORE riches and built any future success upon a foundation of spite.

Truly, the story of Steve Jobs is one of overcoming adversity and failure to become overwhelmingly arrogant and stubborn successful. Truly, it is the story of a man who had the entire population of a country hanging onto his every word, and he had full control of them.

Truly, it is the story of the American Dream.

“You guys see this? This thing in my hand? It will rule your life, and therefore I will rule your life”
