Falling off a Cliff Notes... the in-a-hurry shortcut version
...followed by a guided tour climbing back up to the Happiness Mountaintop of your own unique ABC Impossible Dream
ABC's of Happiness Falling & Climbing Condensed Version (Showing you a shortcut to finding your purpose)
We finally get it… now that we are coming to the end of the line. We were a little slow on the uptake of our packaging & presentation of our ABCS of Happiness after years of dreaming up, creating and building this website. We have to admit we never heard of anyone publishing an entire book on a website and giving it away for free. We dreamed it would be a novel idea. Forgive us… for all we know we fell out of our crib on our head, and our brain has been stuck on fast forward ever since. When we started out on this incredible journey of promising to give-it-all-we-got-and-never-hold-back… with a simple solution of packaging and sharing every ounce of life-support information our viewers might be able to use to find their way out of grief by taking the off-beaten path to happiness we discovered along the way. A sense of urgency pushed us during a world-wide pandemic with death knocking right outside our senior citizen door asking “Cake or death?”… and this just might be our final curtain call. Cake please! We thought for sure our baked goods would be fulfilling for so many of you to grab ahold riding along on this happiness rodeo. We made the conscious decision to give it all we got… just for you.
We never considered until just now... there is simply too much information on this site... for the average person to be willing to spend an estimated 13 hours and 31 minutes giving us their undivided scrambled mind attention. Embracing almost 8 hours of hardcore seeing and reading detailing a lifetime of happiness comprehension with novel ideas & solutions… plus close to 6 hours spent rocking out to our soundtrack mix for your listening pleasure… so our readers could FEEL the emotions of our work. We simply wanted to share all that we uncovered and discovered about the complex nature of our unlimited sensational human emotions. The gifted art of humans… being thoughtful & sharing human beings… trying to figure a way to get out of griefs intense, horrible, unimaginable, unspeakable depressing feelings…by dreaming on impossible dream.
It all boils down to being ready-or-not-here-it-comes before falling off a cliff into grief. More important, we wanted to show people how to turn their life around climbing out of a depression non-stop to a brand new happiness mountaintop... again and again until death do us part. For starters… this complicated reception into our happiness immaculate conception… is fully protected by our grief abortion and proven prevention contraception theories & proven conclusions. These conclusions gave birth to our Theory of Revolution (creating something out of griefs nothing) and offered us a chance of a lifetime to present how two polar opposites of human feelings are emotionally interconnected and feed & fuel one another… with intense sensational conditions. We did it all… under no prior management word count guidelines… timelines or deadline restrictions. And this passion inside was fueled primarily... by alcohol, women, adderall and adrenaline so we never got no rest… until we showered cleansing ourselves with buckets of undying faith.
Nobody ever told us that the selling & buying that occurs online has to be super twitter 280 characters simple... before anyone would want to read… much less listen… to what we had to say. We thought who doesn’t love to see pretty as can be pictures & graphics... so everyday people can figure out the answers to life’s more difficult questions super fast… and then get to movin’ on in a flash... to hurry up and get back to doing those things they love to do.
Who knew?
Our bad. Having served 20 years in the military and having carried a military ID for all our life... we are coming late to “happiness is all about the money”” profit & lose statements... and the unique benefits of all this buying & selling drives the new age “attention economy” technology. To top that all off... we failed to comprehend the impact of giving too much information even after we did not plan on making any money off this website. This crazy notion of an intensely emotional web enabled novel is unheard of simply because there is no money in it. "Show me the money" is now how the masses get to see how anyone who is beautiful & famous or ugly & powerful is happy-go-lucky just so as long as they are wealthy… the “chosen” few are the only lucky ones… who get to be super rich and happy.
Your honor… I object to this crazy notion that “greed is good” wealth buys happiness!!!
You're out of order!!!
No you’re out of order!!! No you’re out of order!!! Injustice for all!!!
Happily, we sold ourselves short by giving it all away for free. We simply thought we would take southern comfort in knowing we are helping people (especially our brothers & sisters in the military) fight the multiple levels of grief mere mortals must contend with.. and try our best to guide them out... pointing them in the right direction to find their own unique brand of Happiness reaching for their own impossible dreams and helping people along the way so they could be the star of their own show.
How ironic it appears... if we are not SELLING happiness... nobody is BUYING into taking the time… it takes to beat grief... because if someone is taking up too much of a readers valuable time… to give too much information away for free without charging a dime... How in the hell will people know they are getting their monies worth... out of what we are not selling... and free fully willing to share?
Nobody is buying what we ain’t selling.
Say what?
Our dedicated viewers egged us on and cried out for a condensed version. We had to go-against-our-give-it-all-you-got-grain unscrambling our brain and slow it down. Unraveling our living in the fast lane… going way too fast… thinking about happiness adrenaline… having a blast kicking griefs ass... and check the statistics.
Based on the website analytics this site has an estimated reading time of 7 hours and 51 minutes. As avid readers of pulp fiction ourselves... we know that around 8 hours is a standardized normal reading time… spent reading a Best-Selling book so... if we had elected to published a normal novel people might want to buy... our estimated reading time was just about right. We knew before we even got started this web book would never be a best seller... simply because we sold out... and we wanted to share it and give it away for free.
Knowing exactly what we were doing... while at the same time not having a clue as to what or why we were doing all this… we also expanded the estimated time spent on site beyond the normal 8 hour READING time of any good book. We added an estimated LISTENING time of 5 hours and 40 minutes to the content of our grief & happiness characters... giving our reading listeners... an emotional soundtrack with 86 unique & distinct songs we felt captured the right moment... so our viewers could FEEL what we are presenting... and hear all about it.
This is why writing a NORMAL book would never work for us. We knew people needed to listen in so they could feel the burn deep inside our human emotions. When you consider an everyday book helping people flee grief and fight for their own unique brand of happiness... we knew without a musical soundtrack... nobody would feel the rollercoaster of emotions that normal human beings get to experience… and expand our infinite understanding of grief vs. happiness… and why we need to come together and win this war against grief.
So since we are ultimately here to serve… the goodwill of "We the People"... by working round the clock solving problems, meeting needs, satisfying wants and delivering new ideas however we can... we proudly present to you this Falling off a Cliff Notes focusing on the highlights of the entire website. Trying our best to meet the national demand for a down & dirty condensed version. We hope we give you what you need condensing it all down to 6 pretty perfect pictures that can tell a nation... how to beat griefs disorder to “Make America Happy Again.” Wishing and hoping it will be worth more than the thousands of words we have in store for you … trying our best to make this site easier for all of you to understand... so we can fight as one for our right be happy… a United States promise we have every right to demand… and hopefully... bring us back together by learning to lend a helping hand… to all others.
We will do our best to keep this simple and try not to take up too much of your valuable time. Here goes nothing... we hope we can make you happy in the nick of time... and interest you to learn some more... about our unique brand of happiness.

The Robert Grant Work Curse...
…a blessing in disguise
To those who are wondering... why would anyone... who has a decent shot at making a million bucks promoting and selling a once-in-lifetime book on the delightfully delicious secrets of happiness... after spending decades pursuing & conducting intense happiness research... exploring this meaningful pursuit with reckless abandon... converting everything he learned into an online website... capturing all the experience & information he invested and grabbed hold of over a lifetime away... then hand it out... giving it away for free?
The answer is simple. The author was blessed with The Robert Grant Work "life ain’t about chasing money" Curse.
The creator & author of this ABCs of Happiness extravaganza was a fortunate son... raised under the umbrella of courageous Leadership-by-Example within the confines and conditions of the Robert Grant Work Curse. This serving-the-public voodoo jinx turned out to be a beautiful blessing in disguise. The hex was cast with a singular take-no-prisoners parenting condition of a battle tested warrior who cast this never-ending curse when he ordained... "you will forever be unable to SELL a glass of water to someone dying of thirst in the desert... never take advantage of any desperately unstable or unable man or woman... or Abel. You will be restricted from filling and defending your own canteen and never keep it all to yourself... under this give-unto-others-code-of-conduct curse... you are forsaken if you refuse to give away your bountiful water for free."
Under the command of the Robert Grant Work Curse... this stoic heroic man full of muster... who we will never forget to mention also had commendations for pulling a crew out of a burning B29 as a young buck in WWII and the Bronze Star Medal for flying missions at night as a part-time Huey door-gunner in Vietnam decades later when he was over-the-hill at 49… always willing to fight for basic human rights... demanded you give any thirsty person equal consideration… giving every drop of water you were blessed to give... to those in need... and do it totally free of obligation.
Imagine that. A curse being cast out over an entire lifetime... that stock-piling money could never be the object of your dying affection. Instead... the ultimate goal in life... was to protect & serve... fight & defend... work for what you got... and share it without restriction. At first it seems totally unfair... who doesn't want to be wealthy? How can it be… where everything we are blessed to receive... you must figure out the best way to share... even when your own resources are limited. But over time you come to realize... Gunner had it right all along... sharing, helping and fighting to defend other people gives purpose to everything you do in life... and leads to happiness riches beyond our wildest dreams.
Don't get this wrong. Working hard and chasing a pay check is not a bad thing. In fact, making money can be a ton of fun if you figure out how to get the biggest bang out of the companies buck. How about... I will only stop vacationing... and come to work... if someone pays me $1,000 a day... so me & my wife can sometime later go back out and play. What we are talking about has nothing to do with chasing money. The primary question is how long will the money chase continue... before you stop racing to make more money... and get started taking valuable time off with those you love... and get to spending and enjoying money?
This is how the curse worked back in the do-I-work-or-play day. You got a job (any job digging ditches, throwing bricks, concrete, roof singles or bales of hay) and worked really hard getting a muscle building workout for any back-breaking wage. P.S. It saved money by never having to pay to workout in a gym. Back in the day... you did not get paid... until after you worked a full two weeks. So, after busting your ass working for two weeks straight and payday finally came around and put some cash in your hand... you immediately quit your job and set out on vacation until the money ran out. And only then... would you go back to work again. It was a wicked forget-about-the-money curse and a really rich never turn down a once-in-lifetime vacation... a loop-hole in the curse that focused on working hard until the time comes... when you had just enough money to go out and spend that cash investing in life in a pay-as-you-go magical mystery tour wonderland of having freedom & fun.
It is amazing how many people cannot understand the relationship between making money and investing in living a full rewarding life. It is a live-for-the-moment crazy notion that accurately says... you are taking a huge risk by failing to plan ahead... countered and non-debated by the winning argument... I hear what you said... but tomorrow we could be dead... so I'm not throwing away my shot... waiting on promises of tomorrow’s happiness. That is why... the bottom line of the Robert Grant Work Curse... is being blessed with the following live-a-full-life-filled-with-adventure philosophy... that was written in stone...
"Make just enough money... so you never have to worry about making money... SPEND your life living on the edge... and it will be filled with emotional riches beyond your wildest dreams."
So back to the question of why & how the author of this website was born free and cursed at the same time? How he was jinxed out of the so-called-secret-to-success ability to cash in and make millions. Given a choice between cashing in on millions of dollars writing a book that took advantage if people struggling in depression & pain... demanding these thirsty for grief relief... pay you to drink from your personal happiness fountain of youth... or do you build a website that could reach out trying to help millions of people suffering from grief... and let them drink freely from your happiness cup?
The answer was a no-brainer under the Robert Grant Work Curse of public service. You give back to the people... give them all you got to help them find the brand of happiness you were cursed and blessed to share... so they too... can find their own unique brand of happiness. You do not get to ask for anything in return. It is a simple act of Robert Grant Work kindness curse... doing everything to can... to help all of mankind… and fight to the death... against man unkind.
Now before you think this website is trying to walk on water with some holier than thou self-interests… that the Robert Grant Work Curse somehow makes us better than those fortunate enough to find fortune or fame... forget it. We are the ones cursed. The rich and famous… those who work hard everyday carefully planning ahead… are not cursed... they are deservingly successful. Who in their right mind would turn down a million dollars? As professional happiness connoisseurs... we even considered letting rich people pay us to take the vacation they always dreamed of... taking it for them... and then coming back to brief them on all the cool and wonderful things they missed out on. Making money is not bad... never spending time or money doing the things you love to do... is not so good.
By ruthless profiteering luck... we recently found ourselves cast out of the money-making kingdom by management principles unbeknownst to us into the ranks of discarded senior citizen. We played hard in the making-money arena when we went all-in. Yet having been discarded and disregarded... for the final time for dedicated service… we somehow manage to wake up everyday and check our bank account... that incredibly is replenished each month by a military retirement and social security check supplemented by a stashed some cash 401K stipend. After a lifetime living under this “it ain’t about chasing money” curse… never seriously considering or planning for an extended retirement... we got lucky and fell into a comfortable retirement... making just enough money... so we never have to worry about making money ever again. Yet somehow without any long term planning... our life is still filled with riches beyond our wildest dreams... and we now have all the valuable vacation time we have to imagine the unimaginable.
And get this. Our you-got-to-be-kidding-me substantial accidental monthly income... is coming to us courtesy of all of you. The American taxpayer. What? That's right. Every taxpayer in the country is paying us just enough... so we can spend all our not-working-on-this-website time... working hard to represent and pay it all back for a father who fought for our freedom... and a nation that lets us be free. We are trying our best to help to pay-it-forward to the American taxpayer so they may find their own unique brand of happiness … and hopefully realize... we are blessed like all of those cast under this happiness spell... falling freely under the beautiful Robert Grant Work Curse.
So the next time you do or don’t say, an disingenuous “Thank you for your service”… and our backhanded comment of our show us what your made of “You’re welcome?” Second, hear our heartfelt ingenious “Thank you for the monthly retirement checks.” Knowing we ain’t just casting out casual thanks back to you that is quickly forgotten and not followed up with actions-speak-louder-than-words when it come to paying back heartfelt thanks and our debt to society… we created this novel website as our way of showing how we truly give thanks to taxpayers who fully find this operation.
Hopefully now you can understand why... we never buy into the sideline management con... in their self-serving claim that they are our new age leaders. Once you have been raised and nurtured under the protective umbrella of true American Frontline Leadership... you can smell management bullshit from a mile away. If you look in front of you when you run into the valley of the shadow of death... you will know you are propelled into the unknown by the forces of leadership. If you look in front of you and nobody is there... and all you hear on the radio is management ordering you to charge ahead... you should lay your rifle down and just sit down... radioing back to management you will gladly move ahead... when they find to courage to come out and play their well-protected, self-serving games.
That's our Falling off a Cliff Note story... and we're sticking to it.
