Magic Genie

You may have noticed that the blog post from a few days ago titled “I No Longer Exist” has been changed to “I Am Alive and Well.”

Turns out what I write here is almost like a magic genie: it comes true.

Besides, enough people wrote to me saying they were disturbed or uneasy about the “I No Longer Exist” post to made me realize I was sending out bad vibes.

I apologize.

Please forgive me.

I’ll be careful in the future.

Ao Akua,

PS – Your words have power, too. It’s your magic genie. Choose your words carefully. Always express what you want, not what you don’t want. We all need reminded of this. Even me.

Blowing the Whistle on "24"

I’m about to reveal the truth behind the hit TV series 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer.

I know where the show is going, and if you’re a fan, this news may come as a shock to you.

On the other hand, this insight might make the show far more entertaining to you.

Still with me?

Here’s the deal:

I’ve been a fan — no, an addict — of 24 since it came out about six years ago. I watched every episode, sometimes holding my breath for nearly a minute as I wondered if a character would live or die. Most of the characters – except Jack Bauer — die, of course.

And that’s a clue.

I’ve even rearranged my schedule so I didn’t do teleseminars or speaking engagements on the nights 24 aired. This was a dumb thing to do from a business standpoint — after all, we do have Tivo — but I wanted to see the shows “real time.”

I’ve also collected all the DVDs, the books, and anything directly related to the show. I’ve felt the show is the most dramatic thing on television in maybe forty years, harking back to the 1960s with the addictive TV show The Fugitive starring David Janssen.

24 is far better, far more intense, and far more gruesome.

And that’s another clue.

So, what’s my big discovery?

In nearly every episode Jack Bauer demonstrates almost superhuman powers. He never stops to pee, drives through a fast food joint to keep his blood sugar level, or takes a nap.

Yet he gets in car accidents, plane accidents, and is repeatedly tortured, and he still walks away.

Now, this is curious.

I just had surgery. The doctor removed my appendix. All things considered, it’s a relatively minor thing. Still, I couldn’t walk after surgery and can barely move around now, three days later.

When Nerissa came to get me at the hospital, it took me forever to bend into her car.

So if Jack is getting beat up and tortured weekly, he must not be human.

And that’s the secret.

Jack Bauer is not human.

I predict that the show will eventually reveal him to be a government cyborg or some sort of advanced Artificial Intelligence Robot.

He might even turn out to be from another planet, but let’s stay “real” here.

You heard it here first.

Ao Akua,

PS — Truth is, installing violent images of mass destruction in your head is not healthy from a metaphysical view. If you can watch it for entertainment alone, fine. But 24 is designed to dig into your gut. So I’d say it would be hard to resist their programming. Unless, of course, you’re a government cyborg like Jack Bauer.

Francine's Art

I hired Panoz artist Larry Gardinier to paint an original one-of-a-kind work of art of my beloved Francine. It arrived today.

Due to my recovering from surgery, it took forever to open the package. But we did. And the art is a thing of beauty. I can’t wait to find the perfect frame for it.
Maybe Francine will forgive me for not driving her over the last week or so.

Choosing Reality

I am on my back recovering from an emergency operation.

I’m typing this on my trusty Blackberry, which is about the only thing that didn’t break down on me last weekend.

My main computer quit. My laptop quit. And all of my websites stemming from www.mrfire.com went down.

None of the above were connected in any way at all.

On Monday I went back into the recording studio to complete reading of my book Buying Trances.

But I did it in a lot of pain. By that night the stomach cramps were far worse.

I called my friend who is an M.D. And he sent me to ER. They ran tests and then scheduled me for an appendix removal. They did it too. It was my first ever surgery and first ever hospital stay.

I’m glad to be home.

I’m in pain and can’t move much but all in all, all is well

What I find most interesting about all of this is my own attitude.

I was never angry or frustrated. I was more curious.

I’m reading a book called Choosing Reality. Its a Buddhist view of physics and the mind. I can’t say I understand it but I can say I love my curious view of the bumps in life.

After all, I have much to be grateful for.

My father’s appendix burst when he was ten. He was in the hospital 21 days with three tubes coming out his stomach to drain all the poison.

I am VERY lucky.

Friends sent me emails and amazon gift certificates. Pat O’Bryan even sent a note to his entire list about me.

I am VERY grateful.

No one knows what an appendix is for. Alan Abel once said on a radio show he thought it was a spare penis.

I LOVE humor.

Thank you for your love and support. I should be back online soon.

Ao Akua,

I Am Alive and Well

I spent Friday in the recording studio reading my forthcoming book “Buying Trances”. I came home exhausted but eager to review my email and work on a new project or two.

But my computer refused to let me in.

It didn’t recognize me.

I took it as a sign to take the day off.

But the computer won’t work today either.

My tech genius came out and declared Windows corrupted my user identity. It will need major surgery to fix. He left with my baby. I’m typing this on my Blackberry.

What’s happening here?

Last weekend’s Zero Limits event turned me inside out. I’ve been processing it all week. Apparently I still am.

Even my computer doesn’t recognize the new me.
