Sistine Chapel, IPad, PC.... The point isn't that I'm a

a good one).
Friends, I beg you,
DON'T STOP ME NOW. Watch, but Please God,

Start's 'scaring,' upsetting, hurting, confusing,
worrying...his friends, and soooo sorry for it.
But so did Neo (the Matrix), if his friends
were 'alive.' So did George (think Jewels and Jewel's
wife -
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092028/), think
our hero and his girlfriend as they were breaking out
in 1984. So did Dr. Arroway in Contact, but her immediete
friends were total weirdos too.
Were these authors wasting our time??!?! Were
they showing us some silly stories that don't apply to
us? Michelangelo. Wright Bros, the Curies, Albert
Schweitzer, Jesus, Gandhi.....
We weirdos, like SL, and I've ALWAYS been one,
there's even a name for us (oh, a positive one I mean,
and TONS of slanderous ones)
Maniacally Committed
Champions, Tom Peters.DID YOU KNOW -
1. so many Google execs Refused to
NOT WORK 7/24, that google now provides cots,
meals, showers - OTHERWISE THEY'D HAVE TO FIRE
THEIR MOST CREATIVES.

TIMES, (AND YES IT WORRIED FRIENDS, AND YES,

HAPPEN - WHEN THE STARS ALIGNED FOR -
EITHER

What's going on here? Something happens when the
nervous system is
A. Connected with some opportunity
of massive potential, and
B. People allow themselves,
demand of themselves, TO BE LEFT ALONE
TO GIVE IT A TRY; ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO
DISTRACTIONS. ZERO, ABSOLUTE ZERO....
Well friends, I could go on and on and on, I could
say more, but if you, my friends and acquaintances
are willing to see, the above should do it. AND MAYBE

WELL-INTENTIONED REASONS would stop my attempts, now.
