In the last year I've come out of my shell a bit.
I've allowed people to take pictures of me.
I've been signing the Pez Outlaw autograph on items for people.
I've taped interviews.

To be honest I have no idea what I'm doing or why.
A friend contacted me and wondered if I'm OK, like maybe I'm dying and all this was some sort of death bed confession in an effort to find relevance for a life lived.
I even considered going to a Pez Convention until I was told that they feared I might come across as a pathetic old man.
That one slowed me up right good.
Any thought of doing a convention disintegrated.
When I started doing all this in roughly 1998ish it was pure anger that motivated me.
My pen was fueled with rage at Pez Corporation for what I saw as the theft of 1/2 million dollars, my entire life's savings and retirement plan.
I tried on the hat of this all being about a book, my life's story.
Eventually I was even dazzled by interest in the Pez Outlaw Project from Hollywood.
Money was paid, contracts signed and a script was written, I have no idea where all that's at today.
20 years has gone by in the blink of an eye.
The best thing that's come from that 20yr investment is Notes From The Asylum/NFTA, which BTW was only started as a something to do project while I waited on Hollywood.
To my surprise NFTA now has over 900,000 views in just 4yrs.
NFTA may have upset Hollywood but it helped me process my anger at Pez Corporation and most of all find my way out of the woods.
Another unexpected positive of NFTA has been an outlet for I charitably call it my unique mind.
I'm very proud of a few things that I've written in NFTA, I have my moments.
So, Pathetic Old Man, are you like dying?
Hell I honestly don't know anymore.
I continue this now for a new reason.
NFTA has shown me that I really enjoy writing about the things that I think about.
I very much hope that you are enjoying my stories also.
My hope is to offer a unique perspective.
I've always wanted to interact with people mind to mind, without the distractions of the body or it's trappings.
The short answer is that I'm driven to do this and I've learned to just go with something that I'm passionately driven to do.
Much to my amazement, It always somehow makes sense in the end.
The MPOGA hat is blue.
I like blue.
All that said, I'm going to continue Hawking the Book n the Movie on the outside chance that they might happen. 85k ea but I'd take 75.

Where has common sense gone?
Things that I just know are a complete mystery to more people than I can understand.
Knowledge that I received as a child is no longer taught.
I understand that reasoning skills are not given to all.
I've always been told that I've been gifted with common sense.
Was it a gift or a consolation prize.
I just had to explain something to someone that I just grew up knowing.
So many now simply recite what they are given without understanding any of it.

Everything about life seems so urgent right now.
Winter's in Michigan seem to have that effect.
I was thinking last night about ways to soften my image.
Maybe if I write the best post ever written about Kittens that'd do it.
Hey it's possible, not likely, but possible.
I seem to have more questions than answers right now.

I have noticed a trend over the last 5yrs, people show up with flattery and promises but once they've gotten what they wanted they ask you to lose there number.
After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.
