Have some fun

The world needs more crazy ideas

Where is the fun in being the same as everyone else?

"Normal people work twice as hard, make half as much and hardly have any fun at all"

That's why I wrote the book...to show others who were a little off center like me that we need to accentuate our differences and quit worrying about fitting in.   Those who fit in are working much too hard for too little and more than anything....aren't having much fun.

And I guess that's why a friend of mine keeps calling me....'Special Ed' .   That really cracks him up.  I can't say I blame I laugh at my own jokes all the time.     Sometimes before I even reach the punch line!

"Everything is not as it seems...it is much funnier"

Your reality cheque just bounced

"if your life is becoming boring maybe it's because you don't have a fun file"

Four or five years ago my son was playing with his first iphone.   I asked him what he was doing?   He said,  'I'm just checking my fun file'.  Now that got my interest!   Ok, I said, 'what is a fun file?'  'I keep a list of all the fun things I like to do and so when I get bored I just check my fun file to decide what to do.'   Wow the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.   

Do you have a fun file?    Do you plan for fun in your life or do you just let it happen by chance?   The answer will tell me how much fun you are squeezing out of life.   Most of you plan for your future, plan for your family, plan for your career or business.  But do your plan to have fun?   Ok, I admit you probably plan for your vacation but I want you to have fun more than just a couple weeks of the year. 

If you don't want your reality cheque to bounce or be returned NSF (not sufficient fun)  I urge you to start a fun file.   Start a list of all the fun things you want to do one day and then when bored creeps into your life you can slay it quickly with your fun file. 

Thanks son!

P.S.   This is another of the great ideas from my book...How To Seduce Life

Can you even imagine...

That handsome young lad you see in the picture above is my friends son Antowaine.   He is 8 years old going on 16.   Yesterday I found him on the houseboat reading my book,  Well at least he was reading the cartoons at the start of every chapter.   He was so into it, I had to laugh.   It made me wonder what differences my life would have made if I had learned some of the book lessons at a young age?

Oh, and now Antowaine (and my friends) want me to write a childrens book.  Apparently they feel that because I'm so in touch with my inner child it would be a short leap for me to write for kids?   Antowaine feels my cartoon hero should be based on him and as for the smart ass girl?   He has a lot of candidates in his class who could qualify.    Maybe....
