*This book is my opinion. There are areas where i have assumed certain circumstances. If you are easily offended then do not read this material. I am also not trying to make a fool of people who cannot read, i am rather, observing the obstacles in life that i can barely get around yet those who are illiterate still happen to cross them. The street smarts that those individuals have is a remarkable talent to me and something i desire to obtain. Thank You*
INTRODUCTION:

Dogs, panda's, sharks, elephants, snakes and ligars do not read. (who the hell even knows if they have the ability?) Though, we can...or we at least have the ability*. I never understood why some will go their entire live's being illiterate. Is it that when they¹ were young and learning, someone made fun of their speech? I often like to think that the older people on earth who are still illiterate, were forced into that circumstance. Dont get me wrong, no one is to blame for another persons acquitted attitude in life BUT somewhere along the lines when that kindergardener was made fun of, they stopped trying. Or did they just never care? So now this "child" who was so vicariously² picked on is right now, currently today, a repulsive soul who in turn, will let others live for them. To me, let me say this again, to ME; these are the strongest minds in the world. Any mother fcuker who can get through an entire lifetime without reading, can probably trick your ass into any situation without you even knowing. THEY ARE THE MASTERS of jedi mind tricks³. My assumption is that the only way they made it this far in life anyways is: someone else doing everything for them; reading, paying bills as well as but not limited to, driving them every gahhh damn place. Some people are illiterate and have a license⁴. Lets say, i have that ability to smoothly leach on others and I can read as well. I would be a fuckin' super human. WHAT A concept; illiteracy is an art. The art of pure chicanery.

1 - categorizing
2 - reading poorly = made fun of in this situation.
3 - I am in no way a star wars fan. However, I do believe jedi mind tricks are real. With all of my might I will convince you that it is not the same as reverse psycology. -more on this idea in later chapters-
4 - I still havnt worked out the kinks in this concept but i do believe it has something to do with people at the DMV being retards

*aftermath disclaimer* -i bet that doesn't make sense-
...for the past two weeks i have been on a fulltime work schedule waking up at 4 am, driving to work to be there by 6am and then leaving the job at 4:30pm. So that is 1,2,3...8 sporadic days of a ten hour work schedule. As I jumped up to the sound of a loud alarm radio, read my missed text messages, scrubbed my eyes of "sleep" and used the bathroom; i had the bright idea that before todays -thursday morning- work day, i would take a 5 hour energy shot. MIND YOU, i already have a boarderline A.D.D. energy level. -not yet properly diagnosed- ALL I AM SAYING is... i am not completely sure if i am either over examining situations or seeing shit that is always around except no one catches onto it-a vast amount of random epiphanies-...but THIS IS SOME OTHER SxxT!...right now currently, i can read and write at the speed of lightning...this is worse than being drunk.
