Last week i heard this guy passed away, his name was Randy Pausch.I kept hearing about him on tv,so i had to do some research. What caught my attention to him was that he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, which is what my dad had.He had like 6-8 months of good health left. Anyways was a professor at Carnegie Melon, and he gave this lecture on "Really Achieving your Childhood dreams", which was his last lecture. I watched his lecture on youtube, and damn. Its showed me alot. I think anyone wanting to better their life should watch it.
Ive already used some of what ive learned this week at work. Each time I was getting bitched at this week i thought of a quote from him "Don’t bail. The best of the gold’s at the bottom of barrels of crap.". He talked about how he achieved his childhood dreams,and how we can do the same.I really can't even explain everything he talked about, you just gotta watch it to understand what i'm talking about. It was just amazing how someone knows they don't have much time left, but they are living life to the fullest. So if you have an hour to burn, please watch it.
Went to Weksos meet this weekend, it was pretty cool. Driving the EF down the 101, "Drive"-Incubus playing on the ipod, just living in the moment. Not a care in the world.Not thinking about work, or the other bullshit in my life, just me and the road. Seems like i have those moments when im in the EF. Maybe its a sign of things to come. I just wish i had the funds and time to bring her to the level i want her at.Soon though...I am usually too embarrassed to bring it out, but there were more janky cars at weksos.
Anyways gonna head to bed now, work in the morning, BUT hey.. its Friday so im not gonna stress too much. Mmm kay.. PEACE
