Dodgeball

Do not read this unless you have read this .... he's one of my musings that was perhaps meant for an intro... Everyone thinks that the worst thing in life is being picked last in gym class, but as a few of us can attest to it's not. The kids picked last- those are your Steve Jobs and Egdar Allen Poes of the world. They failed so significantly at gym (I assume) because they were destined for greatness. They were the first picks of the science and art worlds.They had promise. No the worst is being picked about 6th from the last. You're the best of the worst.

Would it just be the story of a random slightly above average person's life? How about all the crazy dreams I've had (BORING)? Anyway, I thought maybe I would start sharing my excerpts on my blog because really, I don't have time to sit down and write an entire book, I just write snippets of thoughts while I'm on the subway in the notes app on my phone. So enjoy, and if you are an awesome book publisher and want to pay me to quit my job and write a whole book then leave a comment. I get email notifications for comments and I check my email obsessively so you'll hear back from me in no time.

day 26: favorite books

My favorite book of all time is:  I just completely love it. Past that I don't have favorites.. I love all books... I will read anything. Currently I'm reading:   And a book that I can't find a picture online to read that's called " A 100 women who have made a difference that no one knows about". It's really interesting and I'm sad I can't find a picture of it online.  UP next on deck is: Game Change Broken Things to Mend Drive Delievering Happiness And now this since Amazon recommended it! The Remarkable Soul of a Woman
