About the Book
This book is a collaborative effort to enjoin the conscious and the subconscious. A comparative notebook, a confrontation between what I think I know and what I know I know.
The language used is uncomplicated. It cuts to a chase that so needs to be pursued. Needs to be uncovered without being drowned in layer after layer of impressives.
And even though purists may call my stuff simplistic, I will accept that with open minds. Minds who share how I feel. Minds that might benefit from reading the constructive rants and positive raves of someone who thinks thoughts that we all have from time to time. Thoughts that we’re usually too busy to explore for one reason or another.
Some pieces were written as if talking to a friend, because I feel if you enjoy it, and we knew each other, we would be friends.
This work has a literal consistency which defies unnecessary complication. It is a small part of a lifetime (so far) of learning how to: work and play well with others; get a point across without being pointless; and find the nuggets of wisdom in conversations with others, explore them, then reveal their own thoughts to them in a new format, amazing us both in the process.
These are important tools in a World of so much talk with so little to say.
About the Author
John Vincent Stone was raised and spent most of his life in what one might call variations in middle pop cultural America. He is honest, simply because he recognizes his past dishonesties, and sees himself as a foible of life's more serious side. He is living proof that necessity is not only the mother of all inventions, but of continuity, as well. His experiences as a work in progress have made him a tolerable husband, a fair father, and a good friend to have. He just didn't know it, at first. Had to grow into himself a day at a time. What he found while on this journey, how he learned to choose his words carefully, look for the humor in life, and how those around him learned these things about him at, pretty much, the same time he did...are what this book is all about.
