Have you ever tried one a those horse tranquillizers that were popular in the late sixties? They're okay while you're using them, but---whee! Did you notice that I just finished out of the money at The Preakness on Saturday???

"What the font?" he muttered aloud.<br />
<br />
"This shit is really good---you should read it. Oprah fucked up. Why she left it off her top one megazillion greatest pieces of prose ever written is beyond me."<br />

"The old blue-eyed wonderess has done it again. Spun a woven weave of snarled up skein, knotted in her own labyrinth of tangled up ravel.<br />

"By Jove," added Sir Hillary atop the mountain. "It's a Chinese Puzzle, a snafu, and a real fuck-up."

Hey, where ya' been? It's been ages. I try not stay on the keys too long at once...for that is the reason for my latest angst.<br />
<br />
I will expect to blurb you in the future, Jordan.<br />

Write your own blurbs, huh? Well, it doesn't get any easier than that. You're a low maintenance kind of guy. Who knew?<br />
<br />
Glad you are feeling better. I almost mailed you a bowl of my Mom's chicken soup. It always works.<br />
<br />
Get better soon, buddy.

I said I would write my own blurbs, I just gotta use your name. The real one, HA!<br />

He crowed maniacally as he drenched himself in ethanol as he was 'feeling corny.'<br />
<br />
I'm a little better today, I have been able to sit for a bit.<br />
<br />
'Pay it forward'---there are a lot of wonderful writers who will do just that.<br />
<br />
Thanks, Jordan

I have decided to read the book and blurb if I can. Thanks to everyone for their input here.<br />
<br />
There may come a point in the future when I won't have the time to do every request, but it will go against the grain of my nature to turn anyone down, even then. I'd rather be like Neil who finds something to say,even when it might be a challenge. Kudos again, Neil.<br />

Beyond this publishing industry stuff and any reputation I think I'm building, it comes down to how I choose to reach out to other human beings who are taking a similar journey. I was published as a result of a best selling author reading my debut book. And when I tried to thank her, she told me to show my appreciation by helping someone else when I had the clout to do it. The 'pay it forward' concept is one I live by and hope I will always do.
