Something about Nothing

About the Book

A Note to the Reader: What you have in your hands never was meant for everyone…it is meant more for me…and those closest to me…as sort of a keepsake, as well as a reminder of my past accomplishments and future ambitions, should I ever become unable to write all that I care to write. If you know me personally, you will know I have suffered head trauma at one point in my life, and keeping my thoughts and memories sorted from my fantasies is a constant battle because of it. Perhaps that it why I write so much about the things I do these days, as I face the possibility of losing my memories…and so, even the most trivial of my thought has since become so precious to me? It makes sense now, as I write this thought down out loud. So, this is a very personal work. However, due to the terms under which this book is published, it is available to the public…but only to those who search for it intentionally, or stumble upon it by accident. I am making no attempt to “mass-market” this title in its current form, even though it may very well be available as easily as anything else out there. Riding that thought, this book consists of minimal editing beyond making sure what I say is coherent enough to be understood somewhat by at least me, as to preserve my natural “voice” as much as possible. I do this because like many people, I do not speak “proper” English…I am not perfect. I am self-taught for the most part with little to no college…I am educated, just not formally schooled so much. So to illustrate this best, I am performing minimal corrections to grammar and structure…what is presented is something honest, but raw and most definitely unrefined…it helps me remember who I am, and not what they try to “make” me be, with all their “academic alterations” (raping) of my works. Also, I know not how long my mind is going to keep, so I publish this with a sense of haste as to not “forget” anything, even if many of the segments within are unfinished and unpolished. Should my mind keep, I will then go over this and extract the text, refining and expanding the various parts of it into the product I originally intended it to be. Among many things, it is also an extensive log of my personal evolution, the churning of ideas, sorting my own intellectual wheat from the chaff. On that note, you will see many contradictions and conflicting ideas because of the “tell-all” nature of the book, as it encompasses the “most recent” 10 plus years of my life or so in its pages. I am not as confused as many may think I am from reading this, but rather, an individual who does not like to remain stagnant in thought, especially if the thoughts are not accurate or at least sound. If you came across this book and are not one of those I hold dear, I say: enjoy! You now know me better than I could ever know you, and have with me my memories, even if I should lose them. I can only hope that some of my words inspires you in some way, or opens a few windows to a few new viewpoints for you. It is said that even the most educated man in the world holds less than 0.01% of the world’s collective knowledge…think about that as you read this, if you think about nothing else. “…and remembereth this well, child: even if thouest foolith the world a thousand times over, be careful as not to foolith thyself even once.”
