"i was never a little boy"
Is everybody screwed up? Is it our parents fault? Society’s fault? School’s? The church? Who do we blame? Must we blame? Do we need to have a scapegoat? Or do we ask such questions just to get a handle on life and what makes us tick?

I’m inviting you to share in my journey... what I’ve experienced up to now, what I’ve learned and where I’m hoping to head... what I hope I’ve left for the world as my legacy so far, and what I’d like to add to that... I feel we need to leave a legacy, not just offering our daily presence on this earth as all we offer to the world... but - have we gained more and achieved a bigger/better legacy if we have a few buildings with our names on them?... more expensive toys? rather, i feel a major part of our legacy is living life gracefully, managing life with dignity and class... modeling positive behavior and leaving pleasant thoughts behind when we do take the dirt nap... I’ll share my steps to "Making your life Happen"...
As you read my book, use what works for you, listen to some of the other stuff and glean things that help you, and "delete" from your "memory" stuff that is really useless to you... Though even the deleted stuff then wasn’t totally useless cuz you now made a choice about clearing some stuff out of your life, or at least not letting it into your life! I may have never gotten to be a little boy... at least at the appropriate chronological time in my life, i.e., when I WAS a little boy, but now as an older fart, I’ve found that it is truly never tooo late to have a happy childhood!
First we’ll spend time with me... "it’s all about me" for the first chapters... but not really... its about how life deals us stuff... and how we -you and I-handle it... well and efficient... or not!... and we all can learn from how others -here is where the "me" fits in - handle life... from the crazy stuff I experienced, as well as the good stuff... and the parts of my life where I just took a different path than others... and, those are particularly the things that brought me to the place I am today... developed my character... some like it - my character that is, and some will definitely pass on it... but no one will say that I don’t have character, a personality of my own, or that I’m bland...
So sit back, get comfortable, read on and listen to my life...Life is a gift... Don’t waste it... It’s the only one you’ll get... And along the way, among others, you’ll meet some of the folks who work in my office as therapists, counselors, colleagues ... "we’re here to help you solve your problems, guide you through your life, find your true self"... or... can we? Are we more messed up than our patients? ... Also we’ll hear about my cop friends, entertainment buddies, colorful characters... and those pre-dead who are missing out... breathing yes, existing yes, but just barely ...
......This is a true story, a docu-book based on my career and Life. The events are taking place every day and night in this city, beverly hills, of celeb’s with oscars,... losers with broken dreams, ...the homeless guy "with a script out there", ...confused lonely millionaires, ...wanna be’s and hangers on, ...have beens and one hit wonders, ... mansions, ...limos, ...drugs, ...silicon, and....
dysfunction and depression...!!!
Some of the folks in this town make ideal "poster children" for the Diagnostic Manual of Psychological Disorders. I’ll share some of their lives, the good and the dark sides, the positive and the negative. Under the make up, behind the key-guarded driveway gates, underneath their degrees and titles, behind the badge... They have the same issues as Mr. and Mrs. Average American...these screen idols, sports figures - hear what they feel, what they think, how they live. And... how they destroy themselves......
I’m real - the others - the people on both sides of the couch and the law are composites due to confidentiality issues and that fact that I still want to be able to order a meal in town without the server being p’o’d at me... (though many of my clients are court ordered and therefore their records are public property, and if they are someone real special... you already have read some of it in the tabloids!)... , .
Every story, every emotion...though... is very real!. jg 2004
