Kind Thoughts... for sale

I was in the bookstore the other day. I glanced about the self-help aisle. I should acknowledge that I have never had much respect for this genre. I do realize that some are helped by the kind words and deep thought of others but, mostly I think that the truck just makes the author a bit of money. After I returned home I sat down and tried to come up with chapters or topics for my own money making deep thought book. I started by thinking in terms of what I have learned or has been in the forefront of my thoughts in the past week.

1. Wheat Germ works far better than I thought, especially in meat loaf. (ah no, it's not a metaphor)
2. It's true... everything that you need to know someone else has already learned.
3. Before you know it, it will be Fall again.
4. Little things make me happy, a lot of them.
5. A 42L blazer fits better than a 44R so, why pretend?
6. Fresh Apple pie cures most ills
7. Not everything is your fault or your problem.
8. Skinny jeans should have a size ceiling
9. You can't make other people happy. You don't have to be a pain in there bums either but, you can't make them happy.
10. You can make the best choices for yourself. Other people think that they can but, they are wrong.
11. Things happen when they are supposed to happen and not before!
12. Consuming a small piece of homemade chocolate cake is always better than "diet" anything.
13. Janis Ian was right, people do want to drag you down in to the hole where they are coming from.
14. Never expect any one person to be everything to you. That leads to obsession and other creepy things.

Anywho, that is where I got... And much like most of those other books it is all stuff that if you had the time or desire to process you would or may already know. The difference here will be that the royalties will go to me since it will most likely be self-published and sold from the back of an early 90's Ford Taurus station wagon at a flee market/fair near you. Excuse me I must go and bellow my demon laugh while wringing my hands.
