About the Book

From the author that brought you books like O.J. Simpson - The Official No Affiliation Reference Guide, Everybody Reads Lynn Tolliver, Jr. and Idionics (a spoof on the controversial "Ebonics") comes some provocative writings. The author combines secrets and hidden feelings, along with some very very nasty things that may upset the timid. Contains poetry, thought-inviting literature, more songs, jokes, and conversation that lets your imagination run vivid!

Dialogue contains a lot of profanity but not in a degrading manner--it could, however, be offensive to those with a weak stomach! There are many situations here, some may relate to you, or someone you know. Very close to life, but some would argue. It's different, that you 'll have to agree, but again... CAUTION... it has bad words.

Excerpts

WHAT MY FATHER SAID

Long ago, when I was three
I remember what my dad told me--

He Said,
I'll Be Right Back
Or was it
I like white tacks?
Or could it have been
I hate tight slacks?
It could possibly be--
That's an outta sight, rack!
He could have even said,
Do it with all your might, whack!!!
Did He Say,
How was your flight, Zack?
Maybe He Said
You Better not bite back!
Do You Think It Was,
Hey. You gotta light, Jack?
Perhaps It Was...
Do you want to fight, Mack?

He COULDN'T have said, he'll be right back...
Because I'm seventeen now, and I haven't
Seen or heard from him since he left my mom and me...
Back when I remember. Back when I was only three...

MARRY ME

"I should have married you, when I had the chance..."

"Why didn't you?"

"I was afraid, you would have said, 'no', if I asked you."

"You?....Afraid?"

"Yeah, me. Afraid. You would be surprised what kind of guy I was inside. I had a lot of people fooled about me. There were a lot of things I didn't understand, when I was in college. Things I didn't understand about myself,"

"I thought you and Belinda had a good marriage. You always seem so happy together."

"Sure, we started out happy, but I could never stop wondering, what it would have been like, if I would have asked YOU to marry me, instead of Lindsey."

"That's a cute name for Belinda, What would have been my nick name?"

"I hadn't thought about it-- you probably think I'm joking around, don't you?"

"C'mon, Patrick. You had the pick of the litter. Any girl on campus, any girl during our highschool years, hell-- I can't remember a time you weren't able to choose whomever you wanted to."

"Can't you see? And damn you. I didn't fuck them all. That was something you and all the guys thought. I just lived along with the fantasy, you guys created. Damn. If I was into girls as much as you thought I was into them, do you think I would have ever got any work done? Do you think I would have been as successful as I am now? Being somebody takes time. And if it had been with you, I would have reached my goals a whole lot faster. I just didn't think you would have ever given me a chance. You were always so damn tight, and elusive."

"Don't blame it on me. Whenever I gave you a lead, you always brushed me off, like I was some kind of tramp."

"You were drunk. And I didn't want you that way. The trouble with all of you women is, you don't think a guy has feelings, nor do you think a guy can have a sensitive side."

"Well, it's water over the dam, now. You're married and I'm engaged, to be married."

"But do you love him?"

"Whether I do or not, it's none of your business, and there's nothing you can do about it. Like I said--you're married."

"No, I'm not. I've been divorced from Belinda, for seven months now. We couldn't cut it, and we both decided it would be best for the both of us, before it got violent. She even started drinking."

"Damn, you! Now what does that mean?"

"It means, I'm asking you to marry me, now"

V8 BROCCOLI

This is something I have just tried, while writing this book. For those of you who are masters at the micro-wave oven, like I've become, you know that adding moisture to your meal, makes the micro-wave heat up/cook better.

Take some broccoli spears (they come without the stems, or you have to cut them off... they probably contain some vitamins and nutrients too, but they taste AWFUL!) open a can of V8 (wow! we all could have had one!), pour it over the broccoli and let it stand for a while.

Get some butter or that cholesterol-free matter and slice it, and spread it over the broccoli. You have to experiment on the time, because the broccoli is raw, and the amount of time you cook the broccoli is determined on how cooked you want it to be.

You can stir-fry the broccoli, and melt the butter inside the V8 juice then pour, but if the V8 and butter are cooked with the broccoli, you get more TASTE/FLAVOR and a better quality cook result than just pouring the juice over it. It is DELICIOUS!

I'm not giving a guarantee this will do anything for you, but it's better than chips and snacks, unless you do fruit.

THE END

Oh, all that serving size and measurements? That's up to you. You'll know how much you'll want the 2nd time. And each time may vary.

NOW. THE END!
