Kevin got this book for Christmas. (Thanks, Nick ;)
I have to share a couple of my favourite excerpts:
WHAT DO NORMAL WOMEN WANT?
"Let's take a look at what white women want from a relationship. She will be asking 'What's in this for me?' Most normal women ask these question in a relationship, although the priority and order of the answers may be different depending on the psychological makeup of that woman. Generally, traits women are looking for and want in a partner are marriage, children, friends, humor, kindness, romance, warmth, intelligence, materialism, gifts, attention, affection, kindness, sex, and thoughtfulness."
['materialism'? haha. I love the order of things women want.]
MENTAL PROGRAMMING: TO DATE A WHITE WOMAN
- Define long-term goals
- State short-term objectives: What type of image do you want to project?
- The what and how should be in harmony with the targeted white woman you have in mind
- Set dating strategies to project your availability and image
- Analyze available physical positive assets (good looks, body type,) and resources (time, money).
- Gather the white woman's personal data
- Keep a diary, take notes, and review plans.
"There are also many white women who are the shy, introverted type, and this shyness is often one of the reasons that they choose an Asian man, who is generally less aggressive, and more smart, considerate and intelligent"
['more smart'? ;]
A 1966 book designed to help you trick yourself into being a better bowler. The book is in rough shape. I am hoping to use self-hypnosis to find a better copy/ better clean up this one.
Sometime between 1983 & 1995 I became an alcoholic. The reasons why are many & various & took a long time to recognise, ignore, acknowledge, obfuscate, avoid &, when the money ran out (mine & my neighbour's), seek treatment. Prior to 'the seeking of treatment' I had lived a number of lives in education as teacher, project manager & advisor. Briefly I had plugged a finger in the hole of the collapsing dam by writing & publishing. In all these careers I was successful but my drinking was a triumph.

Fresh from the high of a gig the night before, i attempted to attend a relatives funeral, this would have been my 16th funeral of the year and really took a hit on my depression.
Having been fighting depression for the past 18 months or so, i knew that going for a walk at some point that day with my camera would clear my mind and help me relax and reflect on my tough times recently. On the way to the wake i came across this horse in a field alone, very timid at first but something about her just spoke to me and i spent the next half an hour or so waiting for her to come toward me.

Ara Shatan (whose Guraghinya meaning is 'Devil's Lake') is ascribed to a wizard who long ago fought the local people. When the wizard was defeated he plunged his spear into the ground and angrily cried, "Let this be the devil's home" whereupon the ground collapsed forming the crater. Locals maintain that a stone thrown into the lake would be hurled back by the devil.
This lake is perched on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, a massive structure about 6000km in length which can be seen from space, caused by tectonic activity. See the article in wikipedia for more background. The lake varies in colour from blue, through green to rust.

I am grateful for goals with soul. I spent the morning going through a desire map workbook to bring myself to my core desired feelings. Jotting down words, crossing out words, circling words, all based on how I want to feel in 2016. The process is beautiful. I love words. The idea is to create goals and make plans based how you want to feel. Make sense, right? Thank you to my great friend Carrie for introducing me to Danielle LaPorte and her books last year. This is my 2nd year creating goals with soul.

Rufus “Catfish” Mayfield, a youthful community activist and chair of Pride, Inc.—the black job training and employment organization that Marion Barry helped organize—is shown in an undated photograph at an unknown location circa 1967.
Mayfield gained prominence as an activist in the city when he led a campaign against police brutality in the spring of 1967 after a friend was shot and killed by police.
After police officer William L. Ruff shot and killed Clarence Booker in Northeast Washington, D.C., the 20-year-old Mayfield led a series of protests, including a sit-in demanding a citizens inquiry into the shooting.
A grand jury was convened, but no indictment returned.
The confrontations, however, caught the eye of former D.C. Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee chair Marion Barry.
Barry quit SNCC earlier in the year, took a job with the United Planning Organization and was looking for ways to further black economic empowerment.
He teamed up with Mayfield and Mary Treadwell to form Pride, Inc. on a $300,000 grant to put inner city young people to work during a summer jobs program.
Mayfield became chairman of the board and the chief spokesperson for Pride and led the effort of 1,000 youths in green uniforms to clean up litter, clear weeds and remove trash from a number of targeted neighborhoods during the summer of 1967.
The choice of Mayfield led Rep. Joel Broyhill (D-Va.) to blast Pride, Inc.
He said the U.S. Department of Labor, which provided the funding, was “guilty of a direct and deliberate affront to the House and Senate of the United States Congress in placing convicted felon Rufus Mayfield in a position of guidance and authority over 900 District of Columbia youth.”
Broyhill also attacked the program for paying $56 a week which he said would “undoubtedly be more than the fathers earn in many instances.”
Mayfield survived Broyhill’s attack and the Pride ultimately received $1 million more in funding to carry the program through for a full year.
However, the District police charged him in separate incidents with assault and auto theft in arrests that were covered widely in the local press, although charges were ultimately dropped in both cases.
By November, Mayfield resigned from Pride—under internal pressure, according to Mayfield. Treadwell, Barry and executive director Carroll Harvey allegedly were taking the organization in a direction that Mayfield disagreed with, although whatever differences existed were never spelled out publicly.
While his star shined brightly for only a few months, Mayfield was responsible for inspiring young people in the District and in launching what became Marion Barry’s summer jobs for youth program.
He later found work as a stand-up comedian before Mayor Marion Barry gave him a job as a community relations specialist in 1985 with the Department of Human Services.
Mayfield briefly resurfaced publicly in 1991 when he led a campaign against newly-elected Mayor Sharon Pratt Dixon’s effort to fire 2,000 District employees grade DS-11 and above. Mayfield lost the battle to keep his job, but was rehired to the D.C. government in 1995 where he helped lead an immunization campaign for D.C. children among other responsibilities.
Mayfield has continued to remain active in D.C. political life, campaigning more recently for Muriel Bowser, but he will probably best be remembered for the fiery youth who sought to uplift District of Columbia young people.
