what are you reading?

I have been following his show for a long time....I had 2 male pit bulls and from him I learned how to be with those and control them only with my intentions and mind. It is completely possible to do the same with people too.

I have noticed a lot of Buddha statues in his "dog hotel" and I have noticed his jewelery too - crystals and stuff. The way he talks it seems that he tapped into something, because he understands the power of thought and intention.

I also wonder now what was his turning point.

The part I last read, was explaining how he walked up from mexico, damn near dead and dehydrated on a 102 mile journey with 2 wolves... he then started a dog psychology business in Texas or was it Cali, don't remember. He meets his wife, and then the ruckus starts. U get the feel he was all alpha dominance, and totally unrefined, a mixture of uncanny, I've got it attitude, cause when U got skills like that, and you are a builder, it's gonna happen. However, that's the part I stopped at. I'll pick it up again when I have time.

It's all in Gladwell's What the Dog Saw.

Patient Zero. Kind of a sci-fi/zombie/action book.

Awesome, will check that out!

Have a gander at Scott Sigler's first novel series (Infected / Contagious) if you like the sci-fi / zombie / action stuff.

Ken Burns "The War" was a fucking fantastic documentary. I'm gonna check this out.

You won't regret it bro; only read less than a hundred pages of it so far myself but a very honest & visceral account of his experiences at that time.

LOL U rawk.

Okay, when U have time U gotta check out this clip.
He explains like that people think they know what they want, but in reality have no fucking clue?
For example, do we even know what 'bold' coffee tastes like? What the hell is 'bold'?

I don't dig on Tennis. However, one of my favorite athletes.

Dude had spent 10,000 hours on the court by 18 years old. 10,000 is the usual number in hours it takes for 'genius' mastery.
I would be curious to read how his ups, getting bored, then downs, then rejuvenation redemption story.

Also, curious bout the controversial confession of amp'n up before matches.

also in the middle of reading "Otherwise" by Farley Mowat, he's such an amazing writer, speaking of a connection with animals.
