Being poor just isn't working.
Well maybe tolerable poor
What can I say except, I'm "INSANELY" optimistic?
So..... let's just be insanely optimistic about Pez Outlaw together. That's my dream anyway.
On the reality front Pez Outlaw is picking up a following in Japan. Here's hoping, because Japan was a major influencer back in the 1990s with Pez Outlaws original success. So it's very encouraging to see old friends coming in again. The Pez Outlaw Tshirt needs to be a craze in Japan.
Within insanity, find good
Out of chaos, find purpose
Solutions are found in the most unlikely of places
To find answers, you must have eyes that can see
Faith n belief in yourself, will carry you
We all live, we all die
Some achieve greatness
In the end we are all the same
It's the moments that matter
All the pain n sadness
Everything seems so important
No matter what you believe
Peace is what we all agree awaits
At what point do each of us see this life in perspective
Why do we hurt each other with beliefs that vanish in our last moments
Do we build our castles as monuments to ourselves
All the while praying against our insignificants
The mystery of life eludes us, so we try to define it
We gauge the validity of our lives through our followers
Millions lost in the struggle
In the end the slate is wiped clean n we are left to ask why
We know nothing but proclaim all
Imagine the life you'd have lived if you'd had a glimpse of eternity
It's that kind of day
Pissing Away Millions Of Dollars is so much easier than you'd think.
I'm from the generation that still thinks a million dollars is a lot of money.
Do any of you remember that tv show from the 1960s called the Millionaire?
It was about a super rich guy who would give people a million dollars n then the episode would show you how the money change each recipients life.
For the life of me I can't remember any more than that.
My guess is that the outcomes mirrored lottery winner outcomes.
The reveal.
In my decade as Pez Outlaw I burned through 4.5 million Dollars.
Poverty to poverty, that's my lottery story.
Did I learn anything? I sure hope so.
Having money after a lifetime of being poor is very much like a trauma that most folks just are not prepared for.
The results are almost always predictable, there really should be trauma councilors to help folks that find themselves in this situation.
Unfortunately the education most of us get is to lose every penny n go deeply in debt trying to hang on, then praying for a second shot/chance to do it better.
I've spent the last 20yrs trying to turn this story/Pez Outlaw into my second chance, to prove that I can do it better this time.
When I was a younger man we had a few years of prosperity, but not having any money has actually been the norm for my 68yrs.
My Pez Outlaw years was the anomaly n to be honest I didn't handle having money well.
Being poor most of your life does not prepare you for having money to burn n as the metaphor hints, you tend to burn it.
Now 20yrs later n hopefully wiser, I hope n think I'd handle that kind of good fortune very differently.
Small upgrades but nothing ostentatious.
1. I'd add Velvetta boxed dinners back to my life.
2. pay off my home mortgage so we'd go from 3 house payments to 1 house payment.
3. I'd begin on my list of repair projects to the farm, it's kinda long.
All repairs done by me, slow so I can feel the work n satisfaction of each job as it's completed.
4. my dream, a new tractor.
Modest changes to our lifestyle would be all I'd dream of.
Wouldn't it just be great to have a Million Dollars.
So Netflix or Amazon, if you're interested in some content for your streaming services, I'd love to suggest the Pez Outlaw story.
Don't worry it's not a million dollars. Standard life rights fee is fine.
Pez Outlaw is the new Chez Guevara.
In Tshirts.
Kudzu Follows You
Disappointed in words
Silence comes easy
A song of purgatory
Since the story began
Check the trail' Read the signs
Direction becomes clear
Time to move on
I write in silence now
Picking fruit in the shade
Borrowed Fame at best
Illusions filled my eyes
A sugar high
Damn the pretty lie
Reflection of desire
Time has slowed n gone
I believed then
I need to take care of today
Deal with tomorrow, tomorrow.
In 1998 I remortgaged my home for $125,000.00
I also got a line of credit for $125,000.00
I also got a line of credit for $125,000.00
I lost everything.
19yrs later, I still owe approx $60,000.00 on the $125,000.00 remortgage and approx $115,000.00 on the $125,000.00 line of credit loan.

For 2 decades now people have wondered why I continue with this.
I've even been referred to as an angry little man who spends his days writing hateful things about Pez Corporation.
I believe I owe everyone an explanation.
On that day in 1998 when I paid Pez Corporation 1/2 million dollars for exclusive specially designed by me pez dispensers I had 4 full time employees n 3 part time employees.
When Pez Corporation duplicated everything in Breach of Implied Contract it made my 1/2 million dollar investment near worthless.
This action by Pez Corp was intended to destroy my company n it did.
By 2002 Joshua performed his last act for my company by firing himself.
I now had zero employees n $250,000.00 of debt.
Kathy my wife took over half the work n I took over the other half.
As Pez Outlaw I sold over 2 million pez dispensers, many smuggled into the USA from Europe.
I created Glow in the darl Pez Heads and the clear plastic heads that I named Crystals.
I also created 30 to 50 unique pez dispensers, Cost 1/2 million dollars which Pez Corporation copied.
Another dealer took another idea of mine that I abandoned and collectors refer to this one small group of a borrowed idea as Joe's trucks.
(When they lost steam on the trucks, yup you guessed it I bought the more than half that were left.)
My Pez, collectors refer to as the Misfits.
REALLY!
If you're a Billionaire n need to relieve some guilt, I'm your guy.
For the small price of $10,000.00 you too can achieve peace of mind.
