this is a great post by Mark, I think everyone who knows Jody will be vigorously nodding their head throughout. way too early to go, man.. the only consolation is it makes me happy to see the tremendous impression you've left on so many others. rest in peace.
This is happening too much... I don't know how to stop it... but if you ever feel like you are at your breaking point, like author on this post below says "Just Stop". I don't want to keep seeing posts like this. Not because it makes me sad, but because I really don't want people going down that road...<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5135274" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5135274</a>

Here's what can help: Everyone needs a plan B and realistic expectations from life:<p>The majority of businesses fail, you won't achieve everything at 26, you're not going to get rich, and being addicted to success and fame is not a good thing. Have a realistic plan B, a way to have a normal life like everyone else in the event that your ambitions expire.<p>My Plan B: Work at a grocery store like my brother, live with Mom & Dad.
Plan C: Start an Alpaca farm if feasible, and live quietly in Idaho for the rest of my life.
