9 Years Later...
Another one of my absolute favorites. I'm pretty down on our country right now, feeling that we've learned absolutely nothing in the last 9 years, but I'm glad you took the time to make this message today.
My apartment was full that day; people couldn't go home, so they came to my place as we made food and stayed in front of the television. I was asleep, and the phone wouldn't stop ringing. Back then I still had a landline. I answered the phone, and Rick told me to "turn on the TV".
"Dude- I'm sleeping"
"Bones- Some planes just crashed into the twin towers"
"huh...? Was it an accident?
"No....."
"Ok, I'll turn on the- Oh my God- LESLIE! She lives down there..."
"Can I come to your place?"
"Yeah, of course- bring whoever. Where's Dave?"
"I don't know, I called you first."
"My phone's been ring... someone's on the other line; ok- come over."
I was answering the phone non-stop; more and more people were asking if they could walk over, since there was no getting through downtown. Laura and I had been hooking up, but after that, I don't think she ever left. I was suddenly proud of myself for being someone people felt they could call. It felt ridiculous to have that thought while everyone was crying in silence.
Then the people started jumping, and eventually the whole thing came down.
Leslie was apparently caught in one of those ash clouds, but she made it out ok.
Across the world, that's everyday for some people.
Because someone else's God said so.
And Gays cause Earthquakes and shouldn't marry because someone else's God said so.
And Jews are put in camps because someone else's God said so.
And Muslim Taxi Cab Drivers are stabbed because someone else's God said so.
And Our God says we should be free-
unless you want to build a community center if you're God is different.
And Our God says you should earn from your own sweat-
unless we want your oil, and you're God is different.
And it seems like the only time we DO get along is when we make money together,
so maybe we oughtta sponsor all the politicians, and place people from different
faiths in their group, and then we won't need to talk about faith in God when what we
really mean is faith in money.

A New Video for Moms, and a Great Marketing Lesson
First of all, you gotta watch this great video for Moms from NUMMIES.com:
I got seriously choked up around 2:45 because I was really sick when I was younger, and I wondered how my parents must have felt waiting to hear if I was going to die or not.
Anyway, this company just makes nursing bras, and there wasn't even ONE in this video- just a super-simple, heartfelt video that connected with it's audience, and cost almost nothing to make.
It's spreading, and people are learning about the bras.
WELL DONE!

The Re-Launch of "No More Waiters"!!
I also wrote a free report called:
"How To Be An Actor In The 21st Century-
5 Things That Have Changed Acting... FOREVER!"
I had a stroke of genius in that I'm allowing people to be affiliates for No More Waiters, but also letting them re-brand the 21st century report as a giveaway. Now, I'm providing the actual asset for people to create an income with aside from myself!

Cee Lo Green's "F**k You" Marketing Lesson...
Here is a brilliant song:
a crappy video with over 2 million views in 4 days- people are passing it around not only because of the lyrics, but because it's a damn fine song, sung with a wonderful voice with a fun, relateable message.
He also has some other great songs, with the same great voice, but with expensive, well-produced videos, without the same relateable message. They've been out for months, and gotten 2 thousand views.
What's the lesson? PEOPLE LOVE WHAT SPEAKS TO THEM.
The record company promises a "new video", and in my opinion, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. KEEP THIS ONE, and let other people play with it and continue passing it around.
Economy DESTROYED- what to do NOW...
Seriously you guys, our dollars are losing value as you read this.
As Neale Donald Walsch says "When everything changes, CHANGE EVERYTHING",
so I'm taking it upon myself to make some adjustments, and I hope you
are too. Here are some of the things on my list to change:
I'm learning new skills for the next "big thing" on MOBILE platforms:
http://bit.ly/Mobiledevice
I'm expanding to getting more checks from:
http://www.BuildItEasily.com
I'm moving towards the FUTURE of business with:
http://bones.hubhub.org
I'm updating my 1st ebook "No More Waiters"-
http://www.NoMoreWaiters.com
I'm re-writing the FREE STAR TREK BOOK:
http://bit.ly/PonFarr
Why? Well, it's not about gaining the actual money,
it's about building new skills and knowledge that
can be used later- if you're with me,
comment below. If not, then comment below.
(I have a guess who will be first)

Thomas Jefferson the Psychic
Thomas Jefferson once said:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson -- The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809)
