A part of me wants to give voice to the belief that working the edges of legal is the only way left for poor n lower middle class to succeed.

The game just seems so rigged in favor of the rich n if you do succeed, don't become to successful because then you become a target.

I watched many who were cautious in there methods that maintained a low profile pass unscathed.

I threw caution to the wind n was in your face with my methods n public profile.

My approach was all or nothing, I became crazy successful n a huge target.

Unfortunately I have no concept of moderation.

You really have to lay it all on the line for your shot at a big win. Cautious n reserved won't cut it. Risk it all or hide out in the masses. You must be willing to bare yourself naked n be judged. To late to have second thoughts, so here we go.

I've been here before, you don't rest on maybe, you double down. We got here because of my work, my character Pez Outlaw created n lived by me. I have to believe in Pez Outlaw or how can I expect you to.

When I started my journey I had no idea what I was actually doing. At that moment in 1998 it was just a primal scream. Truth be told that lasted a decade.

Very slowly though what I've been doing now for the past 20yrs revealed itself to me. After losing 4.5 million dollars n a lifetimes work because I decided to trust Pez Corporation, I realized that the only thing that I had left to sell was The Pez Outlaw Story.

My goal for the last 15yrs has been to sell my story to Hollywood as a major motion picture then as a book. Through the years I created Pez Outlaw Diary & Pez Outlaw, "Notes From The Asylum". These 2 blogs n The Cereal Box Price Guide have a combined 2 million views. Notes From The Asylum accounts for 1.3 million of those views alone, which is pretty good when you realize that it's the youngest of the 3 at 5yrs old.

10yrs ago I thought that my dream had been achieved, an Oscar winning movie producer optioned the story for Warner Brothers. A long form story about Pez Outlaw was written for Playboy Magazine by Jeff Maysh using Pez Outlaw Diary as its source material along with taped interviews.

I thought that I'd arrived, then 2yrs pass n I in so many words was informed that "Pez Outlaw 2 Crazy 4 Hollywood". Devastated n at my lowest point since the 1998 betrayal by Pez Corporation that cost me 4.5 million dollars of work, I picked myself up n went back to work.

2yrs ago I picked up the pace agreeing to go to my 1st convention in 20yrs. I did interviews n presented my story in a public forum. 1yr later at a financial crunch I was offered a very bad deal as a lifeline. Penniless I turned the offer down because it just did not fit my vision for Pez Outlaw. The offer felt to much like a vulture picking the bones of Pez Outlaws dead body.

Over that next year I had 4 different offers by documentary film makers to do the Pez Outlaw story. I'm not allowed to comment at this moment further on that.

Now my old "friends" from Hollywood are back n i find that I just don't know how I feel about it? 

For over a decade I felt that the Book would be best written by a ghost writer, I think that I've changed my mind on that. When Jeff Maysh wrote the Pez Outlaw story for Playboy he somehow figures that he owns my story. That's absurd on its face. The story was based on taped interviews with me, so by its nature "My Words". Then I was told to leave Pez Outlaw Diary up so it could be sourced for material? 

This experience left a bad taste in my mouth toward another writer writing my story. I now feel that between Pez Outlaw Diary & Pez Outlaw, "Notes From The Asylum" I have already written the Pez Outlaw Book. I feel that a really good in house editor at a good publishing house will/would find more than enough material for a book.

One final note on the above. All words taped about Pez Outlaw are actually quotes by me of my work in Pez Outlaw Diary & Pez Outlaw, "Notes From The Asylum", The only source by me or anyone else of the Pez Outlaw Story.

Keeping with the title of this post I also think that it might be to soon to sign our lives away to Hollywood. Unless the offer is really a good one. I feel a year from now we will get at least 3 more good offers.

Whatever offer from Hollywood is finally signed by me will require that both Pez Outlaw Diary & Pez Outlaw, "Notes From The Asylum" receive onscreen credit as "this Story is based on". I will not allow my work to go unrecognized but used extensively a second time.

Sometimes you have to say no n wait for your vision.

Poverty should not force you to accept less than your dreams.

I'd rather die with hope than settle for ...............?

Most of the hard work is done now, my children n grandchildren can/could handle it from here.

I view life as an illusion, so why not make it what you want.

You have a choice, be the star of your illusion or a player in someone else's.

I wonder if somebody with a 3D plastic printer could make the Pez Outlaw head pictured below so we could put them on modern/todays pez sticks?

A recurring thought today is how so many peoples minds are so easily swayed by others.

I've never been a person who is easily told how or what to think.

As a matter of fact somebody tries that on me n I usually take the opposite position with a passion.

I hate to admit it but mostly for the fun of it.

I just don't understand it when someone is so easily swayed or manipulated.

I know who I am n I know what I think.

I feel no need to have my thoughts validated by others or the need to try n change anothers mind to my way of thinking.

If I yield in conversation, please don't confuse it with agreement. I'm just being polite n allowing you to have your thoughts. Bless Your Heart.
