The Amazing, The Interesting And The Somewhat Interesting.

Hello and welcome back. I apologize for being absent last week, but it was a holiday and that means that I must shut my brain down for repairs. This of course simply means good beer, a good cigar and staring at the sky without a thought floating through my little mind. Now that the repairs have been completed and I am back in the saddle, I do have a (1) new exciting piece of news, another somewhat interesting piece of news and a simply amusing story.
I will start with the most exciting as this is well…the most exciting. I have finally gotten my book posted on Amazon Kindle. For those of you who do not have a Kindle, from my understanding, there are computer downloads that will allow you to view the book on your home computer or laptop. Now, for those of you wondering why in the hell it took so long to arrive, I will spill the beans. I had no clue how to go about it, but had the confidence of a gladiator. When I actually entered into the process, reality stuck me like the gladiator’s sword I thought I carried. All drama aside, I seriously should have researched this before. Beside the convoluted process, there is a 48-72 hour review period before it posts. I have learned a valuable lesson here. READ THE DIRECTIONS!!!!!!! Never fear though I have now learned from my experience and will get it right on chapter 2, which I will have released on Oct 1st. Just an extra note: I am going to try to place it on my Official Clay Maverick site this week. I am just not sure how to sell and electronic document through my shopping cart. I will however read the directions on this before spouting dates off with all of the false confidence of a politician. If anyone knows of another electronic venue to place the book that would be easier to obtain, let me know. I am new to this and do not know the ins and outs.
Now for the somewhat interesting piece of news. The Biggest Loser Porn Edition is still on. I, however, have done only a little more than nothing the past week. I have been going to the gym and my body is the same as my last picture, but I have not followed up with any more film companies. This week. I am going to send a photo and request to all companies this week and next week. We shall see what happens. This portion will become more interesting in the next week or so. Either I will succeed or fail miserably . Both are pretty darn entertaining.
We will end with the amusing story. In my everyday life, the one where I take of the cape and put on the glasses, I have my own design company that serves one main company. The company is a national restaurant chain. There are 5 people in this office that I have become friends with over the past year. There is an Owner, Project Manager, Shop Manager and a couple others. We were all sitting in the Project Managers office discussing the unbelievably crappy state our economy and what we would do if we rejoined the unlucky masses. It came my turn and the first job that came my way was a Stripper. They said I was just made for it. Now, nobody at this place knows anything about my past. It made me laugh that this is the first thing that they came up with. Maybe I was destined to be in the industry (first chapter of my book touches on this). I, of course, just told them that I am not below it and If the time came, I would grab the Velcro pants and hit the stage like Bon Jovi. Cheers all.

Shameless Plug:
Buy my book “Going Out On Top” Available on Amazon.com via Kindle.
