PHILIP K DICK MY NEW HERO

I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF STUFF. I FINISHED THE COSMIC TRIGGER 2 AND 3 AND AM NOW READING SHORT STORIES BY PETER BEAGLE CALLED "WE NEVER TALK ABOUT MY BROTHER" IT IS EXCELLENT I LOVE IT. EACH STORY HAS A UNIQUE TWIST TO IT, I OFTEN WONDER WHERE PEOPLE GET SUCH GREAT AND UNUSUAL STORY PLOTS.

I AM GOING TO SOON START "VALIS" BY PHILIP K DICK IT IS THE 1ST OF A TRILOGY HE WROTE.

I AM AWAITING VALIS I HAVE THE NEXT TWO ALREADY.

IN THE MEANTIME, I'M ALSO READING "FRACTAL TIME" BY GREGG BRADEN ABOUT THE 2012 YEAR WHERE THE MAYAN CALENDAR ENDS .Year 2012! What is special about that year? What will happen in year 2012? THIS IS A PLACE YOU CAN LEARN MORE IF INTERESTED.
I PLAN ON READING ANOTHER BOOK CALLED "THE DREAMING UNIVERSE" ALSO IT ALSO IS ABOUT PHYSICS BLENDING INTO METAPHYSICS.
I HAVE A LONG LIST OF BOOKS I HAVE COLLECTED TO READ BEFORE I EXPIRE.

TODAY WE WENT TO BREAKFAST AND TO BUY DON A NEW WATER PICK AS HIS OLD ONE DIED.
HE WAS SICK FOR 8 DAYS AND THIS WAS HIS FIRST DAY OUT OF THE HOUSE WHEN HE WAS UNABLE TO TOLERATE MORE THAN 45 MINUTES OUT.

THE WEATHER TODAY IS UNUSUALLY WARM COMPARED TO HOW IT HAS BEEN AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SNOWBALLS ARE LEAVING AT LAST , THANK GOODNESS, WHILE WE APPRECIATE THEIR BUSINESS THEY DO TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AND IN RESTAURANTS.
LOOKS LIKE SOON IT WILL BE OFFICIAL SUMMER THE TEMP IS GOING UP EACH DAY.

OK ABOUT PHILIP K DICK... HE HAD AN EXPERIENCE OF SEEING GOD AFTER HAVING GAS AT THE DENTISTS. WELL, IT ISN'T THAT UNUSUAL, WHEN I HAD IT ONCE MY MIND STARTED TO THINK OF INTERESTING THINGS, I FOUND THE GOD IN EVERY THING , FOR INSTANCE , THE DENTIST WAS THE GOD OF TEETH, THE MECHANIC WAS THE GOD OF ENGINES AND CARS, THE TEACHER WAS THE GOD OF CHILDREN'S KNOWLEDGE AND PROFESSORS OF HIGHER ONE. AND IT WENT ON AND ON . THE DENTIST AND HIS COHORTS CAME IN WHEN I WA SUNDER AND ASKED ME WHAT I WAS THINKING I TOLD THEM AND THEY SAID ooh ooh ! LAUGHINGLY, THEY WERE AWARE OF THE EXPERIENCE I AM SURE BY THEIR REACTIONS.

WELL, FOR DICK, IT HAD A TREMENDOUS EFFECT ON HIS MIND AND HIS WRITING EVER AFTER. THIS MAN WHO WAS SUCH A GENIUS (THE TERMINATOR AND BLADE RUNNER AND SCREAMERS AND MINORITY REPORT WERE MOVIES MADE AFTER HIS BOOKS TO NAME A FEW). NOT TO MENTION HE WROTE SO MANY OTHER NOVELS THAT I CANNOT NAME THEM ALL ALL AT A SERIOUS GENIUS LEVEL AND WHICH DID NOT BRING HIM A FORTUNE TILL HE DIED. WHAT A SHAME HE STRUGGLED AND WROTE AND WROTE CONSTANTLY ALL HIS LIFE AND HE GOT NO BENEFIT MATERIAL WISE . AND IS SEEN AS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO SOCIETY AS HIS BOOKS ARE ALL GREAT THOUGHTFUL WRITINGS ABOUT HOW IT REALLY IS. THE LEAST I CAN DO IS BUY A USED COPY OF ALL HIS BOOKS THAT I CAN READ IN MY TIME ON EARTH I PROBABLY DO NOT HAVE THAT MUCH TIME. BUT I'M TRYING.
I AM TRULY GRATEFUL THAT MY ABILITY TO READ HAS BEEN RESTORED TO ME , FOR SO MANY YEARS I COULD NOT READ ANYTHING AND I WAS BEREFT DUE TO THIS, I WOULD TRY TO READ AND THEN I COULD NOT FOCUS ENOUGH ON IT AND GAVE IT UP.
FOR A READER THIS IS A TRAGEDY AND IT WAS FOR ME.
PART OF IT WAS MY EYES WERE FAILING, AND EVEN AFTER I HAD THEM CORRECTED SO I CAN READ AGAIN I STILL COULDN'T READ FOR ABOUT 18 MONTHS . THANK YOU GOD OF THE UNIVERSE FRO RETURNING THIS GIFT TO ME.

I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY OF MY OLD FRIENDS ALMOST DAILY IN FACE BOOK IT IS WONDERFUL. I RECOMMEND IT YOU KEEP UP WITH THEIR DOINGS DAILY AND DON'T EVEN NEED AN EMAIL.
ANYWAYS MORE LATER IM TIRED NOW.HUGS FROM ME.
