Steve Jobs. There's not really much I could say about such an amazing man.
I hope that wherever he is now that he's happy, he deserves it.
His legacy shall live on with every ground-breaking item that Apple releases to the world.
The Fluid Of Life
Ending up with a fairly substantial bruise on my arm was the result of my generous act for the month.
Giving blood is something that many people are skeptical of, for understandable reasons. Who wants to have a needle stuck in their arm for twenty minutes with no apparent reward?
Everyday I see advertising for people to give blood, and with so many restrictions on who can give blood I'm not surprised they never have enough. To be honest I'm not sure I fully thought it through before I did it last week. I was sure I'd be helping someone, but I failed to realise until I actually got really close to the event, that needles would be involved. I know that logically they'd have to use needles, but my conscious mind and logic didn't quite meet up on that day. However, I am glad they didn't because it allowed me to doubt my decision less.
So many people find themselves in positions where they need blood transfusions. Although some people choose not to receive transfusions, no matter their reasons, the majority take them willingly and thankfully. Giving blood saves lives. It really is as simple as that. For a little inconvenience, and on my part discomfort, another human being gets to keep their life for a little while longer. I really am a huge advocate for blood donation. Those who are able to do it, really should. It's just another way to help the community.
It does also give an incentive when a number of countries will pay you to to donate that fluid of life.
