Have you ever read a book and thought his he speaking about me! Well I have just read one namely (No Dream is too High) By Buzz Aldrin, that’s right the guy who walked on the moon!
Of course in no way does Alan profess to be a fighter pilot, astronaut, or half as courageous as this great man but I found it simply astounding that I share most of his personality, beliefs, and rules to live by. In fact I found it so entertaining I have now read it three times!
Incidentally for lovers of flowery language there is none in this book thank goodness.
Which leads me very nicely to an update to my little effort, I am afraid dear reader my book has taken a back seat because of my many different commitments, and permission to include a vital part of my life story but rest assured I will continue as soon as permission is granted.
But I can say it will not be a thin memoir of three to five hundred pages neither will it contain the a for mentioned, namely page after page of pretentious nonsense such as (today I went to the sweet shop and met Mary, her voluptuous shivering figure was silhouetted against the valley of discontent whist the leaden sky cast and painted velvet soft wispy fingers across the morning sun! Phew what a mouthful!
But rather a factual amusing saga that will take the reader on a “unique” roller coaster of a journey that is seriously informative, hedonistic, amusing, and much more besides.
Did not someone once say show me a boy of seven and I will show you the man, well if running around in a Dan Dare space suit with a guitar in one hand, and a pair of plastic binoculars round my neck is anything to go by they nearly had it right. In fact I would go much further and say show me a person’s taste in music and you will have a great insight into the persons psyche and even one’s personal experiences in some choices of music. So yes my book will even contain my many musical experiences in Hamburg, say no more!
I do of course fully appreciate that pros can help to paint a picture but have you notice just how frequently they are used these days, indeed almost every book one picks up is inundated with long sophisticated language that is only normally used the world of academia.
No matter what “type of in book” it may be many seem to tread the very same path just like a psychopathic thief in the night! Could it be just flowery pretentious nonsense purposely constructed to impress the reader, or to quote the great Don Henley just another example of busy being fabulous.
Many apologies for going off on a tangent as per usual but Alan is not called the wandering minstrel for simply nothing.
Take care nature lovers
Alan, the happy wanderer or is it wandering minstrel hmm
