I often think back to the many stories (actually hundreds) that I CANNOT or WON'T tell here in a blog. Some of them sad, some exciting, some provocative, and some just so down right unbelievable, I wont even bother trying to tell anyone about them. You just wont believe it. So I often ponder some of the things that can be believed or wouldn't have to feel the need to change the names to protect the guilty (not to mention things like the statute of limitations and lawsuits that could follow). I know I started telling many stories when I began this blog--telling those stories have dissipated because of the razors edge that I run across in telling a new one.
So there I am standing on one side of a deep chasm wondering how do I get there from here, how can I divulge what I know without releasing the anonymity of myself and others in telling those stories. I have figured out this much, in many of those stories I can be made a hero, an asshole, brilliant, a monster, a criminal, the nice guy, stupid, or just plain crazy (there are other words I could use but then again there is that line I am not willing to cross to divulge the unbelievable). I imagine you would form your own opinions.
Recently a "business associate" of mine decided to email me and many others a link. The link was to a book on Amazon.com, it was link to a book that he had written. I imagine it was to gloat about how he had written a book. No, not jealous, just a bit of an eyebrow raiser since I know this man doesn't have the mental capacity to write a book. I figured it was ghost written. Anyway my first thought was a line from the movie, The DaVinci Code. There is a line in there that is the central theme of the movie, "so dark the con of man" is the line. I couldn't help but think of this when I saw what he had "written". It was a book about a man's journey with God in the business world. Well it hit me quickly that this man is a con man, he has no integrity, and some how he figured out how to get a book published because of his bullshit. I guess I can go on and on about this perpetrator but that is not my point. My point is this, if this clown can write a book why cant I? Its a thought that I have been thinking about for at least ten years now and haven't figured out why I never done so up to now. Am I procrastinating, am I lazy, am I suffering from fear of failure or success, I dont really know. I do know I need to come to grips with whatever it is and begin what I know is a deeply hidden goal. I just need to some how dig it out. Who knows maybe I will be able to tell the true story of what happened to a Marine who shot........; what happened in that bar in the Phillipines; or the night I saw........no, not going there.
You should write it- even if you decide not to publish it---
still diggin' your music selection.

Cathy,
I suppose if I did write it, then I can decide whether or not to try for a publication. Funny you should say that, someone emailed me about that music, they keep my site up on their browser just to listen to the music in the office. I didnt know what to say but I suppose it was a good thing.

Ok, I'm just going to start writing the stories for you. And just tell me if I'm cold or hot.
What happened in that bar in the Phillipines was that it was crazy! You sit down and order a drink like any other bar. But then you feel a tug... A tug on your pant zipper!!!
*Zip*. Love you long time!
Am I hot or cold? Cause I hear about those bars!
pEace.
