It probably took me thousands of years to learn this, but I learned it really good until I didn\u2019t have to learn anything else. After you\u2019ve done enough really good learning you can spend most of your free time learning from your own ideas. Even bad ideas that don\u2019t have any concept of reality are good at teaching you how to learn a new thing. I\u2019ve seen other idea people that are more talented and their ideas make the world a better place for ideas, but it is okay for me because the idea arena is not a competitive zone for people to lose and not win. The idea zone is a personal form of optimism that won\u2019t stop glowing until after all the batteries in your glue cell need to be recharged by expensive island doctors. There are over 180,000 islands on earth. Just yesterday, an idea taught me how to learn that neat fact about islands. I don\u2019t mind when my ideas are unoriginal, poorly constructed, and not very talented. A lot of idea people think I have a deficiency, but ideas are not about deficiencies. Ideas are always about the ideas.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Gary Gaetti<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\nI was once a famous baseball player for the Chicago Mountain Trouts. Most people don\u2019t know this, but in high school I hit three-hundred homeruns almost every single afternoon. There are a lot of uneducated people in the world. I want to educate everyone. Only one person ever knew how to hit homeruns as good as me. His name was \u201cDad,\u201d but I don\u2019t think that was his real name. I\u2019m not sure what his real name was. My dad was probably the only homerun man that ever could be a better homerun man than me. Anyway, I wanted to show you how to hit a home run, but you probably don\u2019t know how to hit a homerun so it won\u2019t do me any good to show you because it\u2019s basically impossible for anyone to hit homeruns except me and my dad.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013<br \/>\nIn the literary world, there is nothing that can match the excitement of reading a new author bio by <strong>Mark Baumer<\/strong> because <strong>Mark Baumer<\/strong> is an elderly white male that likes to play with worms the same way a small child likes to put plastic toys up its butt.
