What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

I'm not sure I would ever venture into writing fiction so I probably have no mysteries I would write about. However, a friend has introduced me to an interesting story that centers around currencies.

It is a wild concept that, if true, challenges just about everything I have ever learned about history from the last 300 years. Once I started digging into the subject matter he presented me with its scope was so broad it defied imagination. I think this currency fairytale would make for great historical fiction that would rival the stories that led to the present day expeditions in search of the treasure of Oak Island, the lost gold of the Incas, and the Hunter for Hitler in South America.

As you read about this over-the-top story of currency speculation, as it is written about in chat rooms, forums and blog posts across the internet, you begin to wonder: what is reality, what is fiction and where do the two overlap? You start to incorporate world events that seem to fit nicely into the narrative that you have read about. You begin to look at wars and consider ulterior motives for why they may have taken place. You begin to doubt the narrative that is pushed by the mainstream media, and ask who is forcing their agenda on you with their institution of propaganda that is veiled by its presentation as news and entertainment.

While it may not be my mystery, that is a story that I might be so inclined to include in something I write about at some point in the future.(less)

I Don’t Accept Your Apology

If you read my last blog post about my disability insurer you’d know that my benefits were suspended as communicated by my case manager. If you didn’t I encourage you to read Goliath Insurer v.s. David the Cancer Patient. A funny thing happened on October 21st at about 4:30pm. That’s 13 days after I submitted my required paperwork, 8 days after my benefits were wrongfully suspended and I communica
