The Shark Fisherman of Wales has written an ebook. It is the sequel to Amsterdamned. It is a brief synthesis of what has happened to me since my release from prison for 'crimes against convention and inhumanity'. Ten years of freedom where I haven't had to do what most people are forced to do, or indeed what their conditioning forces them to do and that is to work. Work 9-5 in a Job or Career. Before my 114 days in prison in 2005 because I over-reacted to the bombings in London on July 7th, I worked. I was a workaholic in the jobs that I did. I have an all or nothing personality. A friend once described me as an Extremist. I am coming up to the 4th Anniversary of this Blog and my 5th Anniversary on Social Media. As an oldie, the Internet has been a revelation. I realise that it is a weapon of mass distraction but I am still at a loss as to what I would do without it. I certainly wouldn't be finding more people to talk to.
A hermit, an introvert gets his kicks on Broadband 66.
The above e-book is an attempt to distill the tricks of the unemployed trade that I have had to learn over the last ten years. There are ten top tips to match every year that I have been free. I have read a number of self help books and mind, body, spirit publications. I found that when writing 'Ten Years a Free Man' that some of this homespun psychology and philosophy came to the fore. It started out as a description of the ten years but then I realised that I had forgotten much of what I'd done. A similar situation I'm sure if I had been in employment for the last ten years. I am 'materially' impoverished' but 'spiritually' wealthy. As I stated in the Epilogue, I am not interested in money but very keen on encouraging a collective spiritual wealth, especially here in Wales. What gives me this right to pontificate? Well I suppose it is because I became spiritually re-born within the walls of a Dutch prison cell. I looked for answers towards a higher force or energy. I could not find any answers in my 39 years before this. I had found life up till this point to be a conspiracy of lying and I had bought into it. Now at 49 I feel able and confident to share this, my Survivors' Manifesto, it is a call to spiritual arms, a call for a simpler life where people can regain a sense of community. Until they get rid of the bling and the jingle of material wealth, until they stop competing and start co-operating, then I will always be on the outside, writing about the inside.
