  • The Daily Mess The Right Words On The Page

    November 15, 2023

     

    Locating the right words to place on a page.  For the eyes I may never meet.  For the hearts that are locked in on seeking

    and receiving.  But is anything
    growing?  Where will this story
    land?  When seeds are planted does the
    maker still have a connection to the flowers and fruit?  What if the words on the page are never read
    again?  This is the reality of being a
    daily writer.  We head into each new day
    answering the call.  Thoughts fall.  It becomes the voice of the writing
    instrument.

  • Ian Fritz Releases The Book What The Taliban Told Me

    When Ian Fritz joined

    the Air Force at eighteen, he did so out of necessity. He hadn't been
    accepted into college thanks to an indifferent high school career. He'd
    too often slept through his classes as he worked long hours at a Chinese
    restaurant to help pay the bills for his trailer-dwelling family in
    Lake City, Florida.

     

    But the Air Force

    recognizes his potential and sends him to the elite Defense Language
    Institute in Monterey, California, to learn Dari and Pashto, the main
    languages of Afghanistan. By 2011, Fritz was an airborne cryptologic
    linguist
    and one of only a tiny number of people in the world trained to do this
    job on low-flying gunships. He monitors communications on the ground
    and determines in real time which Afghans are Taliban and which are
    innocent civilians. This eavesdropping is critical
    to supporting Special Forces units on the ground, but there is no
    training to counter the emotional complexity that develops as you listen
    to people's most intimate conversations. Over the course of two tours,
    Fritz listens to the Taliban for hundreds of hours,
    all over the country night and day, in moments of peace and in the
    middle of battle. What he hears teaches him about the people of
    Afghanistan-Taliban and otherwise-the war, and himself. Fritz's fluency
    is his greatest asset to the military, yet it becomes
    the greatest liability to his own commitment to the cause.

     

    Both proud of his service and in despair that he is instrumental in destroying the voices that he hears,

    What the Taliban Told Me is a brilliant, intimate coming-of-age memoir and a reckoning with our twenty years of war in Afghanistan.

  • Michael Azerrad Releases The Book The Amplified Come As You Are The Story Of Nirvana

    "Kurt screams in a code

    that millions can understand. He communicates in the same scattershot,
    intuitive way that his generation has been trained to assimilate and to
    express information, thanks to the usual litany of tens of thousands
    of hours of television advertising before they were even able to read,
    lousy schools, the glut of the information age, video games, etc. Kurt's
    lyrics make unusual sense of chaos. When he screams "a denial, a
    denial" over and over again at the end of "Teen
    Spirit," it's something that is understood on a deep level. And either
    you get it or you don't. It clearly draws the lines, even as it deals in
    universals. And it's one of the most transcendent moments in rock
    music." - from the book

     

    In 1993, a young rock journalist named Michael Azerrad published

    Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana,
    an era-defining deep dive into Nirvana at their peak. Invited to write
    the book by Courtney Love, and with Kurt Cobain's blessing and the front
    man's promise he wouldn't
    make him change a word, Azerrad set out to tell the true story of the
    revolutionary band. Thirty years on, Azerrad has revisited the book he
    wrote back then, re-examining and illuminating what he originally
    reported, and providing essential glosses on the
    band's musical, cultural and historical contexts. The result is a
    thoroughly original book:
    THE AMPLIFIED COME AS YOU ARE (Harper One; October 24, 2023), a deluxe hardcover edition that fascinatingly "amplifies" the iconic bestseller.

  • Olympic Snowboarding Champion Lindsey Jacobellis Releases Unforgiving

    With two Olympic gold

    medals, one silver medal, six World Championships victories, 31 World
    Cup victories and a staggering 59 career World Cup podiums, five-time
    Olympian Lindsey Jacobellis, is the most decorated snowboard cross
    athlete
    of all time. But, for the better part of her career, she was known for
    one of the most epic unforced errors in Olympic history, which not only
    cost her a gold medal but cast her into a storm of media ridicule and
    stifling self-doubt. In her deeply personal
    memoir, UNFORGIVING (Harper; Publication Date: October 17,
    2023), Jacobellis chronicles her career from crushing early failure, to
    self-growth and love, to finally conquering her goal almost two decades
    later. Honest, intimate, and inspiring,
    UNFORGIVING is both an unprecedented look at what it's like to be
    a young female athlete under the spotlight and a manifesto for
    triumphing over failure, believing in yourself, and achieving at the
    highest level.

     

    On February 16th, 2006,

    twenty-year old American snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis was poised to
    win the first gold medal in women's snowboard cross. Jacobellis, the top
    snowboard cross racer in the world and one of the most celebrated
    and decorated winter sports champions of all time, had a seemingly
    insurmountable lead in her race until she decided, in the home stretch,
    to celebrate midair and it all came crashing down. She lost her balance
    and fell. It was a mistake that would go down
    as one of the biggest unforced errors in sports. Jacobellis endured the
    criticism and second-guessing of Olympic commentators, sportswriters,
    and detractors. She was dropped by sponsors, ridiculed in the press, and
    grilled by interviewers. But Jacobellis refused
    to let her fall define her. It took her sixteen years of perseverance,
    training, and life coaching before, at the age of 36, Jacobellis reached
    the podium and became the oldest US female athlete to capture gold in
    Winter Olympic History.

  • NY Times Best Selling Author Ben Mezrich Releases Breaking Twitter

    In October 2022, Elon

    Musk barreled through Twitter's front doors carrying a kitchen sink,
    tweeting a message to his millions of followers: "Let that sink in." His
    takeover came with the promise of fundamental changes, but nothing
    could prepare the company for the turbulence to come-brutal, sometimes
    arbitrary mass firings, an exodus of advertisers and users, and a
    vicious internal battle for control.

     

    With unique access to

    Twitter employees and Musk's confidants, this is the astonishing story
    from all sides, revealing a wealth of new details, including:

     

    * The events and motivations that led Elon to take over the social media site at the center of our global conversation.

    * The chaos of the first few days after Elon and his "goons" crashed through Twitter's front door.

    * The fiasco of Elon's relaunched "Blue Check" system, and the near collapse of Twitter's revenue stream.

    * The series of events - darkly comic, self-inflicted, and sometimes

    frightening-that led to Elon's emotional and dangerous downward spiral.

    * And what, ultimately,

    Elon hoped to accomplish: Why the battle for Twitter isn't simply about
    money, of whim, or even political reach.
