I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet people that are truly creative and have the guts to follow their dreams. I love to meet magicians, actors and actresses, escape artists, mind readers, burlesque artists, media artists, film makers, photography gurus, philosophers, futurists and people who think they're psychic. I like interesting people of all types and persuasions. If this includes you, become my friend. If it doesn't include you and you want to somehow find the courage to be yourself, read my book then come and ask for an add.
People I wish I'd met, but are dead and gone: - Thomas Jefferson, Nikola Tesla, Houdini, Jesus w/translator, Einstein, James Maddison, Elvis, John Denver, John Lennon, John the Baptist, John Beluci, John Jacob Jinglehimersmidt (his name is my name too) Bozo the Clown.
People I'd like to meet in person - Heather Grahamn, Heather Locklear, Heather Thomas and well ... just about anyone named Heather. Angelina, Pam, oh just about any babes. But seriously, I'd love to go out drinking with Charlie Sheen and George Clooney, just so I could enjoy the overflow. (I'm really happily married.) My wife is so georgeous none of the Heather's could compete.
Books:
The
Magic Life - A Novel Philosophy -- Ace Starry
Without a doubt, this is the most important book on this page. The
other's are books that I've enjoyed reading, while this was the one
that I enjoyed writing. It is a story of a young accountant who
meets a street magician and learns from him a philosophy of
following your dreams.
Illusions,
Tales of a Reluctant Messiah -- Richard Bach
When I was in High School, I read this book. A teacher had
recommended that I read one of Bach's other books, JONATHAN
LIVINGSTON SEAGUL, which is also a good book. However, I chose this
as the better of the two. He has a lot to teach in these pages.
The
Celestine Prophecy, An Adventure -- James Redfield This book practically became a cult phenomenon. This book
introduced me to the concept of Syncronicity. Actually syncronicity
is redefined in this book. A fun read, sometimes it is a little
predictable and I found that the ending needed work. However, if you
haven't read it, you probably should.
The
Greatest Miracle In The World -- Og Mandino
One of my favorite books of all time. I used to buy this in
paperback and give copies away for Christmas. Once you read one of
Og Mandino's books, you'll start reading them all. His books are
very popular best sellers. They are all very easy to understand and
the story in this one keeps you guessing.
The
Way of the Peaceful Warior -- Dan Milman
I recently read this and was absolutely amazed at how similar it
was to my own writing. I hope to meet Dan Milman some day and talk
about our writing styles.
Zen
And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance -- Robert Pirsig
An amazing book for a thinking person. If you like to ponder big
questions about the nature of human beings, then you must read this
book. This is not an easy read by an stretch of the imagination, and
I don't recommend it unless you are the type that likes to study a
book, not just read it.
Stranger
In a Strange Land -- Robert A. Heinlein This book was a gift, that I've truly cherished. Though it is a
science fiction novel, it is a very powerful phylosophy book. I
loved it.
Mutant
Messages From Down Under -- Marlo Morgan
One of my more recent reads, I found that the story was so
gripping from the first few pages, that I couldn't put it down.
How
to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegy
I love this book. I used to buy it for all my employees. The main
thing I remember from it is that you can get ahead in life by simply
doing a "little" more than the other guy. You don't have
to do great and amazing things. Just simply take care of the little
things and learn to care about the other guy. This is what leads to
true sucess. If you haven't read this book, there are many copies
available on the market. Buy it and read it and pass it on.
