So sad, I had no idea Victor had been battling cancer and passed. An old friend. A Revolutionary that usually had a big smile on his face. :) Great artist, performer, friend, human being. Victor Pontes-Macedo, Expo RIP, you know you are missed and were special to many of us. On the stage and off.

RIP
Victor Pontes-Macedo of Audible Mainframe. The words you wrote shortly
before your death allowed me to breathe after one helleva lousy day.
Rest easy now. You are loved and missed by many.
"I think
about what I used to consider "problems" before I was diagnosed, and I
laugh cuz I realize that those problems are absolutely NOTHING compared
to what I have to deal with now. The only thing ...I
wish is that I was in possession of this knowledge before I was
diagnosed, it would've made my life before so much easier and less
stressful.
So I guess if I have one message for those of you
who are healthy, its don't sweat the small stuff. If your job is pissing
you off, you're running low on money, or that shirt makes you look fat.
Whatever the issue is, if you really stop to think about it, its so
small, you'll always find your way through it and live to fight another
day. As long as you have your health you have everything!
I've
stayed away from posting about my struggle and fight this whole time cuz
I'm not the type of person to put my personal business out there, but
it hasnt been a walk in the park. That said, I feel would be doing a
disservice if I said nothing. I'm not here preaching or trying to start a
movement, I just feel like I've been given this unique knowledge, and I
wanted to share it with you all. What you do with it is up to you.
With Love -V"
