Hey Mike good luck with your endeavors sounds like you have the PC world at your finger tips. Me I'm kinda PC inept but, as a poet many say I have a style all of my own. If you into inventions let me know if anyone has made anything like this maybe you could do something with this idea and make a few bucks who knows. How about a watch like band that has a vibrating action for an alarm clock. So you can wake up to a silent alarm and not wake the person you sleeping with call it the silent alarm maybe. Just an idea but, maybe some one has all ready made one just a suggestion.

ONCE YOU START.. uh .....
FINISH
if this doesn't touch u.....you're heartless *******
One night a guy & a girl were
driving home from the movies.
The boy sensed there was
something wrong because of the painful
silence they shared between them
that night. The girl then asked the boy to pull over
because she wanted to talk. She told him that her
feelings had changed & that it was time to move on.
A silent tear slid down his cheek as he slowly reached into his pocket & passed her a folded note.
At that moment, a drunk driver was speeding down that very same street. He swerved
right into the drivers seat, killing the boy.
Miraculously, the girl survived. Remembering the note, she
pulled it out & read it. "Without your love, I would die." 1st:
If u post this on a bulletin in 5 minutes

2nd:

saddest love note

I have already appeared on numerous crime and political dabates and have been written about in numerous book the latest one out " INTO DANGER " By Kate Adie , Does a chapter on me. page 106 to 127. though others have wriiten about me, i9 have never written my own though a lot of people say i should, its a hard one because i go into schools and on project deglamourising cream and telling the kids crime dont pay, and to earn money off of my previous life has a hit man and bank robber would make a mockery out of my message to them, if you see what i mean, most publishers and filmm makers want the blood and guts thing in my life, the work i do with my naughty, they seem to make it all small part in their stories about me, and yet to me its the best part.
