I like to write. I like to tell stories. I like to share. I like to try to make the world a better place – one story at a time.
I’m currently in the process of searching for a home for my provocative – playful – edgy – disturbing – disruptive – meta-memoir:

DRIVING IN REVERSE
THE LIFE I ALMOST MISSED
I am confident it will find a home… soon. It’s a story that must be shared for my sanities sake. By the way, the descriptive words above are from my editor, Kendra!
A home has been found. DRIVING IN REVERSE will be released soon!
In the meantime as I wait for the announcement of the release date, I decided to crank out, and see how many books I can publish on my own… under my imprint: SEED PUBLISHING - THIS WEBSITE.
What you are about to read is VOLUME 1 of POUTINE – Thinking Out Loud – Inside My Head – The Human Condition – Illegal Activity – Sexuality.
I hope you enjoy.
Shall we turn the page (keep scrolling)?

I finished writing POUTINE several years ago. It has been sitting in the freezer. It’s time to throw it in the microwave and thaw it out.
The following ditty I believe was written by my good friend Greg. Greg lives in Germany. He’s a lawyer. He has a lovely wife Constanze. Greg and Constanze have two wonderful children: Killian and Freddy. I was blessed with being the Best Man at their wedding!
I love them dearly.
Anyway, kick it off Mr. Greg…

CAN'T WE ALL JUST LIGHTEN UP A BIT?
By Greg Magas
This rhetorical question seems to occur to me more and more often these days.
Perhaps we should all take a minute and think about it for a second. In our first book:

In the Opening Rant we said: If you turn on the news, it is just one tragedy after another, most of the stories create a scenario where leaving your own home seems like a risky venture. Just think about it. On any particular day you can read about Snipers, Al Qaeda, Aids, SARS, the West Nile Virus, Ebola, Mad Cow Disease, the Avian Flu and major cities in the Eastern US and Canada being shut down by the blackout of 2003 along with countless other things that are threatening humankind as we know it.
That was 13 years ago. Could someone please tell me what’s changed?
Isn’t the NEWS/WORLD one looping template?
One might ask themselves: “Why should we lighten up?”
It doesn’t appear that the world is really providing us with a great deal of material to laugh about. And yes, life is a challenge and it brings us not just wonderful, happy moments but also a wealth of complications, worries and predicaments as well. But if we could just cut through the day-to-day stress, take a step back and relax a bit, then we would see that indeed, life does provide us with quite a bit of material to laugh about.
We often make things more complicated than they truly are. Being afraid or unable to communicate and interact with others is a chronic problem in our society. Why are there so many dating sites that claim to provide the answer to finding a potential partner?
Just think about scenarios involving your significant other, your colleagues, your boss (how about that raise you’ve been thinking about?), the girl or guy in the coffee shop you’d love to meet, etc. It is not all a zero sum game, about winning or losing. It’s just about interaction and not being so damn uptight. Lighten up and just say “hi” - the rest will come to you. Or it won’t.
Don’t get your knickers in a bunch - there are other coffee shops, other guys/girls and other opportunities. Life is short so stop wasting time thinking about what you should say and then regretting not having said it.
What’s that, you think your life sucks?
Well, everyone’s life sucks at some point in time. Sometimes even for long periods of time. However, that is no reason to slip into a bout of self pity or to treat those around you badly. The point is, how much your life sucks is truly relative. Your problems may not be so big compared to those of others. Some people might even give their left kidney to have your problems. Nonetheless, they are still yours. So talk about them.
By the way, this idea isn’t some sort of “Jedi mind trick” it is based on a scenario that I discussed with a very good friend of mine some time ago (could the friend possibly be the author of this book?).
Who typed that?
I had told him about the shitty day I had just experienced. I then finished with the comment:
As I exited the subway car, a man with one leg and crutches got on. Then my problems didn’t seem so big after all.
My friend then replied that I may be on crack. He added that regardless of how bad someone else’s situation is, this does not negate our need and perhaps even our right to vent about our own problems. Of course, being healthy and free from physical disability is a great thing and should not be discounted. This situation or window of health should be cherished as you never know when that may all change. There is no security in life and accidents happen, and people become ill… also a part of life.
I digress.
Our problems and challenges heavily influence our lives and relationships. Ignoring them is a sure way of damaging or even destroying them. That is why we must vent and discuss our challenges and lastly the reason why embracing the comedy in some of these situations might just preserve our sanity.
That is what this book is all about… this series of books is all about. Seed (Lindsay Wincherauk) has put together a wealth of observations, insight and comedy to make you laugh and hopefully to change your view on life. Seed would like to share some of his humorous observations through his unique perspective on life. They are taken directly from daily life, that is, from the media and the local paper in Seed’s area as well as other national and international newspapers and, of course, the internet.
We hope that this dose of comedy will help you to view the daily occurrences in your life differently. Take a step onto the lighter side of life: you just might have more enjoyment from the challenges that life issues us all.
You might just ask: Why on Earth is the book called POUTINE?
If you picked up a copy of our critically acclaimed first book Seed’s Sketchy Relationship Theories – A Guide to the Perils of Dating, you likely have already read the fun-filled, bonus section called GRAVY. You may also have been highly entertained by some of the crazy observations and random thoughts of the Seed.
We had so much fun bringing you these insights so we thought we would present a few more. Lucky for us (and unfortunately for Seed), Seed’s head is filled with such observations pretty much 24/7. In an attempt to rid his brain of these thoughts, we have decided to shake his head and dedicate a whole series of books just to the drippings that have fallen out of it.
And who better to share them with other than our loyal fans… or fan… or new fans… or people who hate it and want to burn it?
Whatever the case may be, make sure you buy several copies so that you can build a big fire!!!
If you purchased a Kindle edition please don’t burn it. Kindle burning isn’t good for the environment.
Now that Seed has delivered his succulent gravy it is time to spice it up a bit. What goes well with gravy and yummy French fries?
Of course the answer is: Cheese curds!!!
