    This is an educational entertainment humor filled with real life experiences. It is unconventional in nature. Topics such as dealing with Assholes in all walks of life, and what not to do with cantankerous people. Yet it deals with God, What Men and Women Really Want, Blog Movie Reviews, PTSD, Alcoholism, Why Losing in Short Run is Better in the Long Run, Teaching; How to Teach to Students Who Are Jacked, and Achieving Any Goal, if You Believe in God and Yourself.This is a book based on experiences, research, Moreover the quote God Don’t Like A-holes is from my late father. My late sister knitted the quote and framed it for him years ago. To be sure I did not understand why he used this expression. Ironically, this came to life around his 54th birthday, which is my age at the moment. The older I grow, the more this idiom makes sense. The point is, those who mistreat you does not mean you should do the like. Anger manifested becomes a consuming fire, and does more damage to yourself. You may be familiar with the expression, ‘Do not burn your bridges.’This work is more aimed at ironing out my failures so you do not try them. Such as trying out for Pro Soccer at the age of 47 without any experience, applying and interviewing to be a CEO of Elderly Care Service in England with no experience, working as a bouncer while teaching full time, returning to the military at the age of 40, allowing a step sister to borrow your car, borrowing other people’s property like wives, or thinking God wouldn’t see me steal soldiers or match box cars at the age of 9. Moreover, not shutting up when confronted by supervisors about suggestions, or being corrected, or telling your fellow Marines in Norway they have a free day coming up before the command puts the word out.Furthermore, historical anecdotes, and topics such as the useless Veterans Preference points for jobs, teaching, bartending, and the topic of Branding, musicmaking, writing, fitness, prayer, and God will all be covered.
