This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was my private war. The streets were a battlefield. We were fighting over drugs and risking death. The syringes we used were filthy, we would get infected by diseases, but we didn’t care. I was tired from running, hiding, hustling, and stealing. So I escaped and signed up for the Army. But, the Army gave me orders to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, which was close to Clarksville; I was back to the streets, back to my private hell. The junky, however, was excited, “We are going back to the crib; you are going to have a paycheck twice a month; that’s enough money to go have fun in the hood all over again!” he screamed. I had come full circle; I desperately wanted to get cured but couldn’t get the cure. I was so close to getting better, yet I was so far from the cure.

Book excerpt: "Damn, it's been a long time coming. But it's finally here," Pokey said to no one in particular, as the day arrived for him to be released from the prison that held him hostage against his own will for the last eighteen months, day by day, as he walked out the open gates. He was blinded by the bright sun. Reaching up to cover his eyes, he heard a horn blowing. Looking around for the sound of the horn, he spotted his mother's beat-up Honda. As he watched his mother get out of the car and slowly walk toward him, Pokey had one thing in mind. "Man, I gotta make sum Major Doe," he was thinking, as his mother reached out and gave him a hug. "Thanks, Mom. Glad I didn't have to ride that stank-ass bus all the way home," he told his mother, who just smiled as she turned around and made her way back to the car, with Pokey on her heels. "I don't know what you coming on this side for," his mother said, pushing him over to the driver's side. "You driving," she said. "I gotta get some beauty sleep," she said, sliding in the car. On the ride home, it was quiet, with Pokey in his own thoughts. As he was listening to his mother snore lightly, he promised, "Momma, I'mma make shit happen." Being in prison, Pokey learned a lot, but he also learned that if you want something bad enough, you gotta go get it. With that in mind and the words Old School used to tell him all the time. "Young blood, you gotta be ruthless in the game of life. Sometimes you will be forced to bite the hands that feed you, so always keep in mind game ain't based on sympathy. If a motherfucker wanna get in your way, don't hesitate to roll over them, and leave them where they lay." As he was in deep thought, his mother brought him back to the here and now. "So, boy, now that you free, what you gonna do to stay free?" his mother asked, turning in her seat to face him. "Whatever I gotta do," Pokey said, keeping it real. "So you gonna get a job?" his mother asked. "Never, Mom. You know me. I ain't working no nine-to-five for no minimum wage so that working shit is dead," he said. While driving, as he looked out the corner of his eye, he saw his mother shake her head, as she closed her eyes and stopped talking. But he went back to thinking. "Damn shit crazy, when ya own momma trying to keep you down, she on some get a job' shit, but I'mma live and die in the streets." As he pulled up in the projects, where they stayed, he noticed nothing has changed, but changes were about to take place, if he had something to do with it. "My thing is, to be paid and get my game sharper than a motherfucking razor blade." As he pulled up and parked, he said, "Ma, we here." Waking up, all his mother did was look at him, then exit the car. As Pokey watched his mother enter the house, he said, "This the shit I'm talking about, a nigga been gone eighteen months, leave with nothing and come home with nothing, so it's time I make something." Looking around, shaking his head at all the dirty buildings that held this project together, his last thought was, "Now I gotta get some soldiers on my team and make this picture come to life," as he looked around one more time before walking into the house. He mumbled, "GABOS, this time around, that's how it's gonna be. Niggaz showed no love, they receive none." With that being said, he walked into the house ready to take a nice long shower before he could formulate his next move, not forgetting his next move better be his best move 'cause GABOS.

Book Synopsis Crisis at the Threshold by : Siegfried Finser
Download or read book Crisis at the Threshold written by Siegfried Finser and published by Book Venture Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his prison cell, Armand Dillon designs a plot to defeat his enemies and regain his prominence as the President and CEO of TCP Corporation. He solicits the help of the only convicts who will be out on parole shortly. They are a strange lot, unreliable, flawed, but apparently willing to do his bidding for a price. The other characters in this third book of a trilogy are a mixture of imperfect but developing humans at various crossroads in their lives. Lucinda is considering a new career, Stu and Bennet are very likely to betray Armand, and Shaman Pi is given a task he is barely capable of executing. Rachel, the long-suffering ex-wife of Armand Dillon is having mysterious spiritual experiences that test her sanity and her beliefs. Through study and meditation, she is approaching initiation and lives through her own crisis at the threshold. Waldorf education, Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy move into the current mainstream of human experience. The real heroin is Emily, the nine-year-old girl who demonstrates the most remarkable courage and discernment in facing her greatest challenge. Partly due to her, all these twelve characters take steps in their development as appropriate for their individual destinies. This is fiction, but reality fiction.

Book Synopsis The Game's Not Over by : Gregg Easterbrook
Download or read book The Game's Not Over written by Gregg Easterbrook and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there anything more universally American than NFL football? Love of the NFL runs deep and broad. It is a primetime TV event on multiple national networks, subsidized by public funds and popular from Mount Rainier to Miami Beach. The 2015 Super Bowl, a thriller between the Patriots and Seahawks, was the most-watched program in the history of television, with more than a third of the country watching. Yet football is in trouble. Public anxiety over football spiked in 2014 during the heat of the Ray Rice domestic violence scandal, the ongoing concussion crisis and the league's appropriations of tax money for its own ends. The mounting problems have led some to question the ethics of watching America's beloved game. In this sharply argued, witty, observant book, Gregg Easterbrook makes a spirited case in defense of the NFL. As he shows, the league brings together Americans of all stripes, providing a rare space to talk about what matters. Indeed, the various issues we see in the league are often microcosms of the ones we see elsewhere, whether it's suspicion of the rich, or gender politics or even concern over bullying. The NFL's social, economic and legal problems are real, but they also produce some of our best and most valuable discussions of those issues. Football is a magnificent incarnation of our national character. It has many flaws, and they need fixing -- but the game's not over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfortunately, Life in the Rubber Room is never to become second nature for Richard Ulysses Lion. His true fortunate nature, however, is that of being overly cocky, mischievous, and fun loving at heart. He weaves a wildly variable tale through the erratically woven pages of his personal journal. A journal that is chock-full of crazy adventures, and randomly filled with many unusual and off the wall incidents. It is his Uncle Cletus who refers him to the State Mental Institution a.k.a. The Howard Hughes Hotel and who leaves him with these words "It's a crazy world in there, Richard. Even though them folks in that place might know how to play crazy eights, believe me, none of them are playing with a full deck of cards." Richard not only plays his cards right as he confronts the many hardships that come along with institutional life, he will also come to know, respect, and have a genuine concern for the folks who are living there. But as fate would have it Richard himself is dealt a bad hand through the onslaught of his many seizures to come. Richard's biological time clock is slowly ticking away. His story is not meant to be one of ridicule, belittlement, or making fun. Richard's story is meant only to capture and release the humorous side of human nature itself.
