Book introductions suck. I always skip them. An author is always explaining things that you should be able to figure out from reading the book or you will forget while you are reading the book. Psssst….The biggest buyer of this book will probably be me. Family and friends think an autographed copy is in some way special. Not true. They are special. The Sharpie™ one sentence pithy comment, and for sure my name, are not special. Let's be honest- it's a flattering way to get a free book. I respect that. It doesn't even qualify as petty theft. This book stretched out a little bit from "Trades: Life Tuition Is Expensive." That is the name of my book which precedes this one. In this book, I covered some history and some musings. I cannot tell how many famous people I may have made angry. I'm hoping it is many because I like tweets as much as our current President, Donald Trump. Sidebar - I only did a cursory edit to be candid. I may have left some stories that could be considered felonious in the book. Please disregard them and think of those I may have to recant or provide detail in my depositions as "poetic license."
This book has a different texture to it than “Trades.” It wasn’t my intention. Reading it, the book has some lecture-like chapters. If you get into a chapter and it starts sounding like you are in the middle of a bad sermon, skip it and go to something that is more interesting. There are plenty of chapters. I’m not apologizing, I’m just giving the author’s permission to the reader to do something the reader was going to do anyway.
I don’t write very much about sex. Maybe I should, just to boost sales. I’d write about violence, but my experience has been that I lose most of the time. On those occasions that I possibly may have outsourced to people better equipped for violence, I cannot really provide convicting evidence against myself by writing those situations down. You can see the dilemma. For the sake of your own interest and attention span, imagine that many of the chapters have A LOT of sex and violence in them that I did not write down. Ride that crazy train of fantasy wherever it takes you, because, unfortunately, it is not in the book. But, remember, the theater of your mind is always open.
