About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Going To Self Publish A Novel

   I have decided to self publish an eBook this Fall, (or Summer if I don't procrastinate), so I can dedicate it to my Wife who I miss dearly.
   While she was alive I was doing all the things you are supposed to do to get a book deal and be published professionally. I entered contests, tried to promote my writings on social media, and sent out query letters to a bunch of Literary Agents.
   I was doing this so I could prove to her that I could be published and that my writing wasn't just a waste of time.
   I enjoy doing it. But, alas, I was spending a lot of time writing. Time I could have spent with her.
   She believed in me though and always bragged about me to everyone she met.
   After she passed away, I lost all ambition to keep on writing. Yet, I woke up this morning thinking it would be a nice way of honoring her memory.
Our Anniversary is this month
and her Birthday is next month.
I think it's time to honor you once again my dear.

This is,
Thinking About You Daily
Jim Hauenstein

And,

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
- Lao Tzu
 
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
