DAY 22 - I WILL BLAME IT ON THE GOOSE and THE HENNEY!

Tonight I had a Book Signing at CLAYTON'S Restaurant & Bar(I told you, I will sign books anywhere - MANY THANKS to Kim and her GREAT Staff!). I spoke with a lot of people about MY BOOK(Easier Said Than Done), ITS' PURPOSE(Inspiring Others To Live Their Dream), THE MOVEMENT(Initiate A Breakthrough) and MY MISSION(To Sell 1,000,000 Books Across America). During one of those many conversations, I came across a Brotha, who shall remain nameless, but we will refer to him as "Mr. Negative Pants" - (LOL... I can't even type that without laughing). Anyway, "Mr. N. Pants"...lol... (see I told you)... he gave me every excuse under the sun, why he wouldn't purchase my book or support my movement - "I don't read!" - "I haven't read a book since Curious George!" - "I start reading a book and I just get bored and go uuuggghhh!" - "I don't believe in movements!" - "It's a lot of people at my job that read, but I don't read!" - "All I read are e-Books!" - HOLD UP WAIT A MINUTE: I thought he said he didn't read?...hmmm...

ONE IMPORTANT DETAIL: I forgot to mention that in between all of these excuses given by "Mr. Pants"(lol) he was gulping drinks down like a fish(Do fish drink alcohol? hmmm). OH WELL THAT EXPLAINS IT...LOL... Although, I know that EVERYONE is not going to buy my book, for whatever reason, it still doesn't stop me from asking. So "Mr. Negative Pants", I know you probably don't even remember meeting me or ever hearing anything about my book or movement, I'm sure you can "blame it on the goose and the henney - LOL. But whenever our paths cross again(And oh they will cross again.) - I WILL explain my mission to you and ask you to purchase my book again and that my friend you can blame it on PERSISTANCE! Thomas Edison said - "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to always try one more time!" ...AND THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT... But Who knows - Maybe it's just me!

ORDER THE BOOK...
JOIN THE CONVERSATION...
BE A PART OF THE MOVEMENT!

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…
