Reply to a post on Jobs’ death by Get Boyce
…And why wasn’t Steve a credited Philosopher?
I love this dude. He’s my inspiration for being involved in everything creative.
I watched my first keynote, and knew where I wanted to plant my seed.
I did “weep” a little bit with news of his passing as well. Him and George Carlin are the only two people that ever made me honestly sad and angered by their deaths.. Time to get mushy.
“The only way to do great work, is to do love what you do.”
—Someone needs to tell my parents this. “Zakk, go work 9-5 or you’re going to miserable! You’d rather be safe than sorry!” I don’t think so.. Shit, Steve didn’t do what he loved until he hit 30. That makes things seem much more hopeful for me and my situation.
“If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking—and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And like any great relationship—it just gets better and better, as the years go along.”
—When he speaks of Dogma, it’s like that higher power we all believe in has almost answered us through Steve. He wished that we all could live the fulfilling life he did. That’s why he strived to immense lengths to supply us with many things to help us do what he did in half the time, with half the effort, but with just as much heart. He’s honestly going to live on forever—through us, through Apple.
See what he does to ya!? I almost sounded like Martin Luther King or something. He’s so inspiring. Can’t believe he’s gone. I’m sure he would’ve continued to blast through boundaries and changed the world, until there was nothing left to change. Damn.
Anyway, Boyce, good post. Keep the spirit alive my buddy. See you on Twitter. @zakkforchilli

Some Final Words on Steve Jobs..
In my own words..
He was such an amazing man. Wether or not anyone notices it, Apple WILL suffer from the loss of him.
Even though he had retired not too long before his death, I’m sure he would have still been quite influential to everything Apple related. He left Apple behind, but I don’t think Apple left HIM behind.
I’m sure that at some point, Steve would have been consulting, or at least having a final word (or a good word at least) on some of the things Apple would be doing at the time.
He’s done way too much for that company to completely leave it behind. I’d like to know what he had planned for the rest of his life. Or what he WOULD have planned if his disease wasn’t stripping his life away from beneath him.
One of the most innovative people on this earth, one of our greatest visionaries, a man that loved to work, sure wouldn’t just STOP working on the things he loved just like THAT.. I feel like we would have seen some amazing things come from Steve Jobs in the future. It’s just too bad.
Am I right?
