I was trying to say that you can look at the negatives of stuff and you can look at the positives of them but you can always look towards the positive and not appreciate what you have now. I should probably tell my buddy to forget the iphone app and just focus on the things that are going to make me happy. I don't want to spend too much time on a computer and my life passes me by.

Life sucks. It would be a lot cooler if we lived longer and stayed younger longer.</cite> It seems like you were given a chance once and you didn't take advantage of it. I'm not sure if a longer life and more youth would make it any better for you. The key to life is LIVING it, not waiting for it to happen. You can make a choice to spend your entire life in front of a computer and/or being an entrepreneur but chances are that's your decision. Regret being 42 and not having kids? Do something about it. Say "no" to your budd and stop writing the iPhone app for him and do things that will further YOU in life. I don’t know what to say. Life sucks.

She's wondering if all this yapping about great teams by combining people with complimentary skills does really work. Maybe instead of hoarding all your ideas and wishing to execute them alone start talking about them. Find some startupers, buy them some beer and test the ideas on them. Maybe a business partner could keep you on track? I imagine a person living next door with excellent focus, but lacking ideas and inspiration.
