Billionaire's
Give the protesters a million bucks n they are still gonna picket your house.
Give me a million bucks n I promise I will not Picket your house.

When you are poor someone with 100 Billion Dollars just seems obscene.
Trying to be honest about a touchy subject.
I'm not saying that this emotion is right, it's just how I feel.

You say that you n your 50 Billion Dollars are fighting for me, Yeah Right, Sure you are.
You have no idea of who I am or what I'm feeling.
Only that poor person next to me gets it.
I guess what I'm saying is that your words are tiresome n don't change anything for us.

Last night Josh n I were talking to Laurie. Josh said, Back when we had money.
Indicating a time before our personal financial crash.
Ours happened back in 1998 when Pez Corporation targeted My Company.
By the end of 2001 I had lost almost everything I worked my entire life for.
That was roughly 2002.

In 2008 the rest of the country caught up with me.
A bit later the whole 1% thing started about the evil rich.
I've been fighting the actions of an international Corporation "PEZ" that targeted my company now for 15 years.

I had to laugh when the whole 1% thing started. Where were you guys a decade ago when Pez Corporation destroyed my life.
Here you are the fighters against the 1%, abstractly railing against general perceived injustice.
When at that very moment I had been fighting, for a decade the very thing you claimed to be against.
My numbers nor did my struggle receive any support from this bogus 1% group.

My cause of how Pez Corporation destroyed my little company was tailor made for this 1% cause.
God forbid this bunch of 1% fighters actually rally behind a real case of injustice, no better to just chant in general than actually support or help the real thing.

There are those who think Pez Outlaw Diary was very close to Blackmail against Pez Corporation.
Blackmail is secretly telling someone. If you don't give me X, I will reveal the following.
Pez Outlaw Diary is and has always been an open telling of what happened, out front. 
Pez Corporation, Wanna rewrite the ending, that's your choice.

Do you think for one minute as much as Pez Corporation hates me that if Pez Outlaw Diary could legally be defined as Blackmail that Pez Corp would not have taken legal action.

My Goal is to write the true history of what was done by Pez Corporation to my company. I may never get any other form of restitution from PEZ Corporation, but I will correct the record. What Pez Corporation did to my company was premeditated, targeted, deliberate and malice was there intent.


But protesters of the 1%, don't make me laugh.
Try championing a real cause, get behind Pez Outlaw.
Truth, Justice n the American way.
1% My ASS!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

... Minsky is the lovable Android Robot on FX's Fargo Season 3, Episode 3. ... Minsky the Fargo Android ...

"I can help"
This episode of Fargo was pure genius.
The writing wasn't just clever, it was some of the best writing I've ever seen on TV.
How the story of Minsky was interwoven throughout the episode was delightful.
The Minsky episode will be a reference point on how good TV can be for the rest of my life.

Mega block Busters yeah sure big bucks, the rest not so much.
By The Way, Who decide that Pez Outlaw wasn't a Super Hero?

Pez Outlaw is a story of hope for n to the middle class n poor of the Middle of this country.
Pez Outlaw connects with the portion of America you are not reaching anymore.

Data point.
Notes from the Asylum is a window into the mind of Pez Outlaw.
The overwhelming # of views are from Czechia, Slovakia n Russia the other less than half are from Fly over country USA.

Pez Outlaw is a story of the American dream, the possibility n of adventure beyond our poor n middle class dreams.
You need to tell a Pez Outlaw story that makes everybody wish they could be him n live the decade he lived.

Remember, Pez Outlaws happy ending could be him sitting in the shadows watching his movie being made during the closing credits.
That to the mentioner is "everything I ever wanted", WELL n a Pez Outlaw Book.

Just my albeit biased opinion. 
I get it I'm nobody n how could I possibly have this right?
Then again' Quentin Tarantino was a video store clerk.

It's like you've never even spoke to me about my actual story.
Oh yeah that's right, you never have.
What in the world have you got to lose by seeing what I think or my take.

You need customers who wish they could be Pez Outlaw. 
People buy Hope n dreams every day of the week, lottery tickets/scratch offs.
Pez Outlaw is the story of hope n dreams, if we win in the end..


****************
The following is a personal opinion not the result of a few million dollar study.
Possible side affects are as follows.

The Magic 10

To me we the middle class n poor seem to follow a life pattern.
We work and or mess up about the first 45yrs of our lives on somebody else's goals.
My theory is that the 10yrs between ages 45 n 55 are our potential awakening years.

By age 45 we've watched long enough n some of us have a few ideas of our own by then.
To me this decade between 45 n 55yrs of age is our magic moment.
This decade is our peak time to apply the youthful energy we have left on a goal of our own before our bodies start to slow down.

At 45 we have energy, means n knowledge to try something of our own
The trick is not to screw the pooch, well ................ um, like I did.
Your moves need to be measured, thoughtful n on point.

Do not get carried away. 
Do not get caught up in whatever success you may have.
This is your window to advance your families life not to become Bill Gate's.
You missed that window at 20.

Stay focused like a laser on the core goal n idea.
You tell yourself, if I fail this won't be the only good idea I have.
Again buddy you're not Steve Job's, this one might be all you get, so play it smart.

In My Magic 10 I earned 4.5 million dollars.
By year 11 I had lost everything.
Shit that sucked.

My mistakes were as follows.

I liked how people treated me n started believing what they said.
I started believing, well a lot of bullshit that wasn't real. 
Mirror Mirror etc.

I lost focus on for me the core product.
I spent a God awful lot of money on tangential items/merchandise.
I shoulda stuck to just in this case pez dispensers n dispensers only.

No Flix, Topp's, Fun Flips, pins, pez promo items, bags, rafts, skateboards or t-shirts etc.
No starting the California Pez Con, Hell they don't even acknowledge that Josh n I started it. (cost to me personally over $10,000.00 to put on first California Convention,
I flew over 6 staffers out, rented rooms, food, ballroom, advertising n all the prizes donated by me. n that doesn't count Kathy n my expenses. Then I gave the CA. Con to those 2 guys as we packed to leave. What a collasal waste of money n time)
I also gave away to much product to existing conventions etc.

I should not have sold wholesale.
I should have bought all I could then taken the next 2 or 3 decades to sell it myself.
I should not have hired so many people in my company.
I should have hired just Josh n Ri, period.

My biggest mistake was at the end.
I shoulda folded, but I doubled down.
I trusted the very company I knew despised me.
Pez corporation turned that trust against me n stole every idea I gave them.
In short, I was a schmuck.

I knew better n yet I did it anyway.
Not the first time, hopefully the last.

see Pez Outlaw Diary
C1. The Case Against Pez Corporation #pezoutlaw #h... 

Kathy said yesterday that I always told her I had more than 1 good idea.
Truth is I've had 3ish so far, I'm just praying I have one last one.

Do not waste your Magic 10yrs, be smarter than I was.
It's not about you, mess up n your whole family will suffer.


After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

With A Little Help From My Friends, Pez Outlaw #pezoutlaw

 

Please Watch My Emmy Winning Movie, The Pez Outlaw on Amazon Prime & Peacock. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Best actor at SXSW.

It's My Story.

https://www.ebay.com/.../Pez-Outlaw-By-sj-glew/_i.html...

Who knows what will happen, but with the help of Larry Mason we are now looking at AI to help write the Pez Outlaw Book.

The plan would be for AI to look at & digest everything that I have written into a proper book.

With the help of others as proof readers. No idea how it will go but Larry & I are optimistic that it might at the very least be a beginning.

Here's my problem. I can write a thought & express it as say a 2 page post, but my mind jumps around to much to put all these thoughts together as a book. Add to that I am a bit Dyslexic, I can't spell for poop & have no idea of sentence or paragraph structure.

So AI???????

Larry Mason Wrote the following in his words, The rough draft of a Pez Outlaw Book Forward.

The Pez Outlaw

The unfinished story of Steve Glew

The term outlaw brings to mind various images. In westerns you can spot him right away

because he almost always wear a black hat. But in this story, the black cowboy hat is

exchanged for a green buck hat. The outlaw here is Steve Glew, a gnome-like unassuming

man with a unique laugh that sticks in your mind. His adventures are so wild some would

almost think they are fiction. Getting passed intel like you would see in a spy movie, searched

at gunpoint by border agents, … seriously? Follow Steve through his ups and downs in life,

the highs and lows in his business adventures, and how love is really the glue (Glew) that binds.

But unlike David and Goliath, sometimes the underdog doesn’t win. Sometimes the underdog

simply endures. Going deeper into the Pez Outlaw story than what the documentary covered,

you will better understand the impact the Pez Outlaw made and why the story just might not

have an ending - yet

The Pez Outlaw Movie is on Peacock & Amazon Prime.

My whole life I have been in search of something that gives my Life meaning. Who would have thought that a Pez dispenser would be the answer to that question?

I have never understood Life, let alone fit into it. We do what we must to find our path. The fact that I deal with Mental health issues & substance abuse has of course hindered my journey.

Anxiety being around people n depression cycles began when I was 15yrs old. I turned to alcahol then drugs in an attempt to fit in. It worked for a while, but by 19-20 I'd pushed that further than you should.

That's when I met Kathy, from here forward she will be refered to as Mom. Mom was my salvation, she spent the next 25yrs putting me back together. Rebuilding a tortured soul. She never asked why, she just did the work. Now you all might think n by todays way of thinking, she coulda done better. That's absolutely true, she could have. Thing is that kind of love n work comes back to you. My soul purpose in life now is to take care of her. No questions only love.

Mom has always indulged my excentricities, allowing me to find my way. this led to obsessions of various types. Collecting/hoarding. Toys, Cereal boxes, premiums n finally Pez.

Dogs n Houses

Before we moved out to the farm in 1975, where we still live. Mom n I lived for a time in the house next door to where I grew up. Dogs have always been a big part of our lives. By 1974 ish we had somewhere between 20 n 25 dogs. All were sight hounds because we were into amature dog coursing. Dogs chase a rabbit skin on a string in a big oval or straight line. 

As you might imagine the city of Lansing had something to say about that. I ended up in front of a judge trying to explain myself. Story of my life. Anyway, I promised the judge that we were trying to find some land n move out to the country. The judge said Okee Dokey. Get that done n I will dissmiss these charges.

So that's how we ended up on the farm we live on today. 48 years now.

The Farm

For the 1st 20 years here on the farm we lived in a really old farm house. Joshua (my son) n I reroofed it n wrapped it in platic during the winters. We burned wood for heat. I musta went through a wood stove every 3 or 4yrs before I burned then up.

During those years I was an accumulator. Every nook n crany had treasures stuffed in it. I had a 2ft square on my side of the bed to get in and out. Treasures gave me purpose n gratification. Like the girl sings, A Million little Band-Aids.

During those 1st 20yrs here on the farm I worked in town as a macinist n a welder. Basically I was a Glorified Blacksmith. We also got down from 25 Dogs to 5, but we aquired Cows, chickens, rabbits, pigs, sheep n finally goats. A horse or 2 but that part came on hard later.

Horses

With the New House n Pez Money came horses. 

Men you are really messing up when you fight your partner in Life's Bliss. If I could do it over I would encourage Moms desire n ownership of horses back in 1975. Here's my rule about a horse farm. If you want to survive you need 1 more horse as a paying boarder than you own. Right now 6 of the horses on our farm are ours n 7 are boarders

We raised our children in that drafty, God Awful old farm house. In 1995 when we let the Fire Department burn it down for practice Mom n I just drove away. We really had a serious love hate relationship with that old farm house. Our attachment is n always has been with our land. When we got the New house in 1995 it was a dream come true. Albeit a modular home, but who cared it was brand NEW! 

Prior to 1992

1992 was a change in our lives, before that we did not have much money, Bills were hard. Mom n I have seen quite a few hard times with money. The Carter years were especially hard. Then came our worst from 2002 to approx 2019. But from 1992 to 2002 we lived our dreams "PEZ MONEY"

1975-1985

for the 1st 5yrs on the farm we were finding our way. Homesteaders/Back to the Earth. We transitioned from Dog racing to Back to Earthers. Gardens, Burning wood for heat n all sorts of farm animals.

1985 - 1992

That 1st decade on the farm was very hard work. Poor mean Muscle to survive. By 1985 I needed more imediate gratification to sooth my demons. I've always collected Cereal items. I made a huge mistake though I was drawn to cereal premium, probably because as a child with 4 brothers I didn't get them all. Anyway I should have collected cereal boxes as I do now not premiums.

But in 1985 I branched out to obsessively aquiring Toys. Ussually closeout toys at Toysrus that I believed were good. Peewee Herman etc. Loved The Odd toys that I was drawn to.

2 Early Adventures Blazed The Trail for what became Pez Outlaw. These 2 collectibles are where I went to school for what became the Biggest thing I have ever done in my Life. SO FAR!

McDonalds Happy meal Toys n Cereal Boxes & cereal premiums.

Our Presentation was so extensive n Massive that The Folks at The Mcdonalds convention thought we were actually this special sought after group From McDonals Corp. This became a recurring theme for almost the next 2 decades. Joshua n I always put on eye popping presentations.

The great Cereal Premiums Caper.

People you do not agree with, Lets call them adversaries, can be instructive. You should study them n watch there techniques.

I have learned a lot from people with whom I do not agree.

Don't get angry, it's a waste of emotional time. Instead coldly without emotion watch them.

When people attack you they are doing it from an inherantly flawed position of weakness. They are ussually trying to convince themselves that they are right. The louder that they get, the more you realize that they are actually arguing with themselves.

The quicker you can just walk politely away, the better it is for your wellbeing.

The person that says nothing truly has confidence in there beliefs.

They feel no need to try n convice you.

I personally find it much more emotionally rewarding to say kink things about people than to try to tear them down, wrongly thinking that somehow tearing them down elevates me.

You can not elevate yourself on the ashes of your victems, you simply sink back down to where you started.

Look inward n understand who you are actually fighting with.

I've had a long time in the wilderness to look inward.

What I wrote decades ago was a primal scream.

It now is just a record of the journey.

I feel no emotion about it any longer.

Writing was the way I washed Myself clean of it.

What do you think, should old men have "Cranky Old Bastard ALERT!" warning labels?


Dogs n Horses Yes but No Children Allowed.
I don't know why I should have to keep saying this, but apparently I do.

I will not follow anyone on twitter whose page image is a picture of a child.
To me it goes beyond not being in good taste.
I'm a 64 year old man. If the image on your twitter page does not at least look 20, I can not follow you back.

If your homepage image is of a horse or a dog, no problem.
If your home page image is of a child, No.

I also can not follow back any page on facebook or twitter that's in Arabic.
I  have no idea what's being said and I just can not take the chance.

Oh yeah n no porn or excessive cursing. 
Yes I screen each persons page that follows me.

I also shy away from advert pages. Like buy follower pages.
Only real people please.  No Twitter Follower Farms.

Oh yeah there's one other type of page I do not follow back because it's a waste of time.
When I screen your page one of the first things I check is the ratio of follows to followers.
If you follow say 50 people but have 2,000 followers, I will not waste my time with a follow back.
You are just going to remove your follow after the follow back is given.

Other than that though I try to follow back any real people that follow me on twitter or facebook,
After I screen your page.

I will also admit to being confused by the huge number of twenty-something young women that follow me on twitter. 
My home page image:

If you're a twenty-something woman, why on earth would you follow that?

Somebody is cranky this morning?
Is there such a thing as cranky tweeting?

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

https://www.ebay.com/.../Pez-Outlaw-By-sj-glew/_i.html...

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.

https://www.facebook.com/mipezcon/videos/10156382185899193/?hc_ref=ARSm06Ix9znORhNi0F__cU_zPA2-_AKLekxfHskOm8pc86xxuPq4hBbudJArMgyqGwA

https://www.thepezcollection.com/allepisodes/pezoutlawpt2  

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.
see Are we who we think we are or are we who others se..
 

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.

 One of the personalities in my head is called Tater Head. 
 Conversation go like this.

The world does not revolve around you.
Yes it does.
Our individual perception of the world around us is our reality.
Our reality ends when that light goes out.

Your reality may continue but mine ends when I end.
What in the hell am I supposed to do with that?
Find peace of mind within that truth, Tater Head.

That does not mean, do as you please because only you matter.
I assume you have a conscience.
You have got a conscience, right Tater Head.

Well that means you need to maintain the best balance possibly while your steam of conscience exist.
Otherwise you live in torment of your choices.
Not a good beginning for the possible future.

Ok, so for now What?
For me it's writing my own story.
For all of us I think this is true, In my case literally in yours maybe figuratively.
If we don't write our own story, others will definitely write it for us.

Work in progress.
I got part of it, the rest?

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.

A Simple Act Of Kindness #pezoutlaw

 

Please Watch My Emmy Winning Movie, The Pez Outlaw on Amazon Prime & Peacock. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Best actor at SXSW.

It's My Story.

ebay link to Pez Outlaw Collectibles.

https://www.ebay.com/.../Pez-Outlaw-By-sj-glew/_i.html...

For years now I've been telling you stories about Busta the horse. Two things you may not know. One Busta was actually not my horse, his real mom was Andrea Keeney Cypher.  Busta was only my best friend. Which brings me to the second thing. Busta n I shared a personality type in that we are both a good bit off center, so we understood each other.

As you all know Busta Horse passed late last winter. Not a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of my friend. Not the least of which was that I could trust him to just follow Marnie Marie n I into the barn, then just go to his stall all by Himself. Mind you Busta did like to go garage sale ing on his way into the barn, but then again who in there right mind wouldn't. You could just talk to Busta, common buddy put that down, time to go in.

Busta was also an escape artist. No stall could hold him if he got bored. A bit of a Houdini-horse. It took a latch, a second latch, a cable snap n a rope to tie his stall door shut n he could udo 3 of them when he wanted to. Now you gotta admire that in someone, horse or mere man.

Ole Red is trying to fill his shoes but they are awful big. He keeps company with Marnie Marie now. Every night in Busta's Honor I still connect his cable tie on his gate when red goes in, the only latch Busta couldn't crack. I do this to honor Busta n remember him.

A simple act of Kindness compels me write this.

Ilona Schlafer sent me this sketch n painting of our dear friend.

We will have the painting matted n framed, then it will take a place of honor in the horse clubhouse. Ilona Schlafer, we deeply appreciate the gift, you made kathy cry n touched my heart,

A Simple Act Of Kindness

Thank You, everyone that sees it will remember him once again n if I'm lucky I'll get to tell them one of his stories.

Busta n I were Kindred Spirits
