Nice quote

This was sent to me by a friend of mine as part of one of those motivational "chain letter" emails. The bulk of the content was the usual hokey platitudes (I Believe... That either you control your attitude or it controls you.), but this quote at the end really stuck with me;
'The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything they have.'
So very true...

How's this for a powerful quote?

BBM (Status Message) Haiku

I thought I'd create a new form of poetry specific to the Blackberry. I call it the BBM Haiku.
Its not to be confused with the BBM Haiku contests run by sites such as Crackberry, where you win a Blackberry for writing a Haiku about your 'Berry.
The BBM Haiku will be a art form structured around the Blackberry Messenger Status message.

The rules will be as follows:
  • No more than 64 characters long, including spaces (yes, I know, its kind of obvious).
  • 12 syllables, regardless of the number of words. (approximately equal to the 17 "on" in traditional Haiku).
  • 3 phrases.
  • Can be about any topic.

  • That's it! And yes, I know that makes it not a Haiku, but my creativity fell a little short of a more creative or fitting name. I'm open to other options.

    Here's my first attempt:
    Cold touch. Phone changes hands. Modern Intimacy.

    What do you think (about the idea, that is, not the attempt)?
