Guten Abend, meine Freunde,😍 es ist bedauerlich, dass sich so viele Menschen immer in der Opferrolle sehen und denken, dass sie weglaufen müssen, um ihrem gefühlten Elend zu entkommen. Kämpfergeist für etwas Größeres und der Wille, steinige Weg zu nehmen, fehlen oft – schade. Ich wünsche euch einen schönen Abend. Zitat Konfuzius: Der Mensch […]

So, Wanderers, that little 800-page pamphlet I have coming out in July? It has been optioned for television by QC Entertainment (story here at Deadline). QC Entertainment (in this case, Sean McKittrick, Ray Mansfield, with Ilene Staple) really grokked the material and, for fear of being too damn punny, serve as excellent shepherds of the series.

Been to hell and back before? And if we told you that it is possible would you believe us? Yeah sure we’ve all been through “hell” before.
