Dead man’s post

I stumbled upon a deceased person’s facebook today. He must have passed away quite suddenly because it was a such a big shock to so many people. He was in his 20’s afterall, I think. But what made me so teary wasn’t the fact that there were so many people who posted nice comments or even that some of them kept posting comments on the wall asking him to casually look over them but it was the father who was so thankful that his son had so many good friends who looked after him. His father read through his son’s facebook page and that in itself provided some what of a relief. But still..poor man..it did make my heart break when he commented asking his son to forgive him for the tears of today.. He must’ve been a great guy. Wish I had known him.

kennywins: inquitsitive: trendsettingchipster: Introducing our new game called: “Don’t Be A Di*k During Meals With Friends.” The first person to crack and look at their phone picks up the check. Our (initial) purpose of the game was to get everyone off the phones free from twitter/fb/texting and to encourage conversations. Rules: 1) The game starts after everyone has ordered. 2) Everybody places their phone on the table face down. 3) The first person to flip over their phone loses the game. 4) Loser of the game pays for the bill. 5) If the bill comes before anyone has flipped over their phone everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal. Variations/house rules: -Starting the game after everyone is seated. -In the rare event that multiple people flip their phones simultaneously, the bill is split between said players. - Feel free to invoke penalties/strikes systems. Notes: - No touching or messing with anybody else’s phones. - You don’t have to stack the phones. This was done for picture taking purposes. - I realize I should perhaps think of a different name for this awesome game. Because I don’t mean to imply that everyone who checks their phone during meals is a di*k. - I recommend not being such a stickler or hardass on people about the rules and even initiation of the game. Basic premise is to just get people open to the idea of staying active and attentive to one another. But if someone has to take a call; they have to take a call =). - Have fun! It’s really more of a fun concept in this new age high tech life of ours. Conversation is the spice of life. YES. this looks like a perfect game. so from now on.. yes…  This game sounds awesome.

Statistics

The lasting message of my stats professor (from my rough memory):

“My favorite president was Kennedy. In high school, back in 1961 he stated that we would send a man to the moon. At the time, I had the privilege to meet [some NASA mastermind who devised the Saturn rockets] and I asked him how he was going to make a rocket to the moon. He said “I have no idea, but we’re going to do it.” And by 1969, they really made it happen. That was truly an amazing moment in my life but I realized something even more remarkable. The average age of all the astronauts in the Space Station above was 26. This means, when they first decided to send people up to the moon, their average age was 18. Dream big. Go for that dream and you will achieve 95% of it (statistics reference).”

Dream big, truly dream big.

Compassion

Yesterday, someone was handing out fliers for Amnesty International. I would always ignore them but I didn’t this one time. He said it would only take half a minute. It took almost 10 minutes and at the brink of leaving, he finishes his speech and asks for a donation. I told him I was already sponsoring a child in Africa and then I left with his suspicious eyes peering through me. I felt horrible that I just decided to actually sponsor a kid in Africa. The deed has been done and I officially sponsor a kid in Africa and I’m not lying..
