I wrIte E-books, jokes, and a few serious things. I believe some people will like them.

DISCLAIMER
I’ve been wrong about so many things so much in life that it’s funny and sad. My opinions may be wrong at times. I offer my thoughts to benefit me and others by focusing on what I believe to be interesting.

TO PEOPLE I OFFEND

Everything serious I write I intend to use as a way to make life better. Even though I’ve made efforts to be right, I’m still wrong sometimes. Even though I’m less than right about everything, I believe there’s value in sharing my less than perfect opinions about life with others. Everything humorous I write I intend to use as a way to make life better for others. I occasionally write ideas that are offensive or painful to others in a comedic context. I’m still prone to making errors. If you’re offended by what I write, know that some believe I create bland, inoffensive material often. If somehow everything I’ve ever written is offensive to you, feel free to focus on one of the other countless parts of the universe.

Love,

Mike
