EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK:
MOST PEOPLE TALK BULLSHIT

CHAPTER FIVE
1958 – The Year I Turned
Two
I was still too primitive to be aware of much outside the
environment of my parents house or my mother’s arms. However, in
hindsight, I feel it is important to mention the various events
that had taken place that year; because of the effects and the
way they affected my parents, which in turn indirectly affected
me.
Previous to this year our country was only forty-eight states
strong and it was this year that Alaska was accepted by
President Eisenhower
Trouble in Cuba starts as Castro does CIA’s Dirty Work
The
space race between us, and the Soviets steps up and NASA is
created.
This year there is increasing alarm in the scientific community
and over nine thousand intelligent hominids of the scientist
classification publish a plea to stop nuclear bomb tests, the
most well known being Bertrand Russell launchers a campaign for
Nuclear Disarmament. The U.S. government thumbs it’s nose at
Bertrand and his colleagues and conducts Operation Argus, which
is a series of nuclear tests and explosions.
New strides in technology In August of this year, the USS
Nautilus a nuclear powered submarine became the first vessel to
cross the North Pole under water.
Some of the new songs of these year that seem to become popular
were:
At the Hop by Dany and the Juniors, Don’t I Beg of
You, and Hard Headed Woman by Elvis Presley,
Tequila by The Champs, Twilight Time by The Platters,
Witch Doctor by David Seville, All I have to Do is
Dream, by The Everly Brothers, The Purple People Eater,
by Sheb Wooley, Poor Little Fool by Ricky Nelson,
Volare by Domenico Modugno.
The popular movies of this year were: The bridge on the
River Kwai, Peyton Place, Sayonara, No Time for Sergeants, The
Vikings, Search for Paradise, South Pacific, Cat on a Hot Tin
Roof, Raintree County, Old Yeller. Most of these movies we did
not see for another three years. They sporadically were playing
at the Norris-Theater in downtown Norristown. Years later the
Norris degenerated into a porn theater and finally a McDonalds
restaurant
The
new Television Shows were
the same as previous year with some new ones such as Maverick
with James Garner, The Real McCoys and The Rifleman with Chuck
Conners, The Andy Williams Show, Bat Masterson, The Betty White
Show, The Dick Clark Show, The Donna Reed Show, The Eddie Fisher
Show, The Invisible Man, The Lawman, Peter Gunn, The Rifleman,
Sea Hunt, 77 Sunset Strip, Wanted: Dead or Alive.
Other Starship Primates Launched in 1958
This year along with me other notable Starships of basic primate
design were also launched into this world to explore the Cosmos.
I mean notable because they are both famous and their sphere of
influence has been greater than most humans both good and bad.
These Starship Primates are: Ellen DeGeneres - American actress
and comedienne, Keenen Ivory Wayans - American comedian,
actor, and director, Jello Biafra - American musician and
activist; and each of them are very important to mention,
because they are among the primates that will prove to be
essential to our survival as a species.
While all of these events were happening this year and very
important primates were launched into existence… my latest
memory had occurred and it was of me shoving my head through the
wooden bars of my playpen. The urge to escape the confines of my
cage was paramount in my intent to leave and explore…to touch
and taste everything; to take in as much data as I could.
This compulsion percolated within every fiber of my being as I
shoved my head through the wooden bars I started to pry my head
side to side until one of the bars snapped. I managed to get my
body halfway through before getting stuck.
I felt afraid and frustrated as my body squirmed and strained to
break free. Failing to do so brought on a flood of tears. Tears
and screaming I learned, usually brought the results that I
wanted. My mother came in the room and I sensed that she was
both angry and concerned as she tried to disengage me from the
bars, and then my memory fades…
