Ain’t Nothin’ Like That


Book Description

We all, for the most part, inherently know how to flow with it, cut loose (i.e. have fun/be happy), or strut our stuff when we have reason to believe we are invincible or that goodness and justice will surely prevail. Ain’t Nothin’ Like That, along with some other books by Nightshade, explores the analysis of when we learn the polar opposite of what we believed of the world is actually the true version. This typically occurs when/if we discover that if perchance what we’ve got (figuratively) glows or is special on any level and “If they can see it they will take it,” should opportunistic opportunity strike. The perpetual how(s) and why(s) of the sheople/the most common deciding class: As for the remainder of the true minority status, in typical response we think if we can find the answers or prove the truth then we can make it all right in a manner as out of touch with reality, for many of us, as the idea of clicking the heels of magical ruby slippers together to get back home to the farm where things are beautiful and maybe there is a fresh baked apple or blueberry pie in the oven. We believe in a simplified way or simplified explanation that if we can find one and then the other one or whatever the specific numbers in the mystery are for us and then also figure out there is a plus sign between those two ones, for example: one plus one equals two. Two is the answer. If we can find the answer, whichever answer applies to us then we can stop the horror or even reverse it or find a way to reverse it/make it right and maybe sometimes some of us can find that answer. Thereafter there remains the wildcard, which seems always to be the free-will of humans, including those humans beyond us comprised of the predators, the sheople, preconceived notions, judgments, invalidations, campfire stories which wander farther away from the truth with each warped telling, the cookie-cutter one size fits all, pigeon hole categorizations, Inoculation Theory, and the rampant naysayers (i.e. “No that cannot be the answer for you because it is not the answer for me and others I know, so no you cannot have that answer or try that answer out at all, but we will give you another serving of that proverbial dog that bit you or the Achilles’ Tendon Factor assault that caused this because that’s what we say will fix it.”). Onward it likely goes forever this way. The very comprehension of these thinking patterns as well as others linked to these distinct patterns could save so many a great deal; if the lesson are learned on time. Ain’t Nothin’ Like That.

Trouble Ain't Nothin' But a Word


Book Description

My memoir begins with a massive heart attack that leaves me in a vegetative state with no possibility of recovery, according to my doctors. What the doctors didn't know about me was I neither counted anyone in nor counted anyone out--especially me. I lived my life overcoming multitudinous challenges, living by the adage "All I need is a tiny chance, and I'll make it work." My story is delivered from a 5'4" frame, being constantly told "I can't" or "you won't." I was a make-believe Christian with the gift of gab and full of crime. This memoir shines a light on alcoholism, drug abuse, physical abuse, ever-present crime, and consistently circumventing all challenges.










Ain't Nothing Like Being Married to an Old, Elderly Man


Book Description

Aint nothing like being married to an elderly man. Written for single and married women. Mental and physical abused women. Women of all races and background. It is a resource for knowledge of the Do and Donts of a relationship and or marriage. Used as a reference book, it offers my readers facts and information. This book is a hard core, no hold barred. Although this womens book can be enjoyed by anyone, including single and married men, it was specifically written for adult woman that seeks a relationship with elderly men. As you probably know, more than 50 million women in and out of the United States have dealt with a marriage for all the wrong reasons. These women too often accept the abuse simply because of a lack of knowledge. Having low self-esteem, women fail to realize they are Queens. Women deserve to be respected. Although other books, such as, Women Beatings through the Eyes of the Abuser, have tried to provide information, the book usually lack a womans point of view. (What abuse woman really wants to get information from the abuser himself?) And none of the books uses the hard core approach an approach that has revolutionized the way I see women as part of my own family.

Ain't Nothin' But a Winner


Book Description

A rollicking memoir from the linebacker at the heart of the most famous Alabama football play of all time No university has won more football championships than Alabama, and Barry Krauss played a key role in one of them. The linebacker’s fourth down stop of Penn State’s Mike Guman in the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1979, was recently named by ESPN as one of the ten most important plays of the 20th century. The Goal Line Stand, as the play became known, immortalized Krauss among legions of fans. More than twenty-five years later, people still tell him exactly what they were doing and how they felt when he collided in mid-air with Guman that New Year’s Day—and almost never mention his twelve-year career in the NFL. In this entertaining and well-illustrated memoir, Krauss tells of scrimmaging on front lawns with friends as a kid in Pompano Beach, Florida, and of his childhood dream to play for Don Shula. He acknowledges how Coach Bear Bryant tamed his free spirit and shaped him into the football player—and the man—he became. In addition, he emphasizes the importance of team, weaving together the personal stories of his Alabama teammates on the field during the Goal Line Stand, and acknowledges their significant roles in winning the game and the championship. Ain’t Nothin’ But a Winner offers an insider’s look at how a team is built, tested, and becomes a national champion—and how that process sometimes calls upon an individual to rise to the challenge presented by his own personal gut check.
