JLenardDetroit "LIFE" related pieces here-on B4IN list... as relates to planned 6th International book... all about "LIFE"...

[This is now going to be my, every B4IN article, standard opening (as of Dec. 19, 2024):
I get it, I really do, all these outlets are operating as a business… And how do they make money? Advertising! (more continues: /media/2024/07/click-bait-here-click-bait-there-everywhere-click-bait-2515961.html )
Yes, sorry, frankly I TOO find especially the initial Ads (they pile up, to be able to get them viewed in case someone doesn't read the whole article) here interrupting a nice/natural Read flow and are ANNOYING (but it keeps the Site FREE FOR VIEWING no Pay Wall to have to BUY your way past) and conversely their annoyance may indeed keep some from wanting to bother (so, Please, there is some GREAT CONTENT here on B4IN, keep reading the entire pieces despite the annoying Ads) and note if you engage an AD BLOCKER often I have found it/they can cause issues with seeing all the intended article content --- don't want you to miss any of mine, nor anyone else who posts here entire content as intended! The authors images (some or all), videos (some or all), their intended cross-reference links (vs Site produced Ad links, the easy Share-At/On buttons, and more, might also get "blocked" from viewing. And so now, to catch any NEW Readers, I too adding to annoyance having to repeat this over and over. My apologies. I endeavor to always give you DETAILED WRITINGS (and cross-reference related links with other rabbit-holes you can go down) hopefully you'll deem worthy of putting up with the annoying Ads to engage in/with.
I am NOT fond of the changes, but I have been with B4IN a long time now - certainly not looking to leave.
Lastly, note: I also wrote for TheLibertyBeacon (https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/?s=Joseph+M+Lenard), where I dropped pieces (normally weekly) on Saturdays for the last 3 years (and even RedState back when) and now joined and dropping pieces via SUBSTACK (https://tinyurl.com/JLDonSubstack).]

 

OK, hey, you’ve heard (rather seen) me say THIS WILL BE AN ODD PIECE for various different reasonings per any particular “odd” piece. THIS TIME? Well. While anything can happen between NOW (today, as I type, Jul. 1. 2025) and planned release of what I hope will be my 6th International book (short-story or novella, not likely be a full novel; but again anything can/may happen) that I am hoping/praying and striving hard to be around Aug. 1st 2025 via Amazon exclusive (print and kindle). I am, as I’ve said anything can happen and indeed it could ALL GO TO SHIT (so-to-speak) and not be able to come together, continue to flow as well as my first few days of writing in have managed to go, and therefore get NIXED as a project. Hope, not. Pray, not. SO, I have to be careful what all I can/do share here.

 

I am not at liberty to say the title yet (usually can share a “working-title” which will be changed when finishing touches are put on and name might change a few times before final title decided upon and cover designed. HOWEVER, now that I think about it – let’s just call it “LIFE” for now or “Project CARPE DIEM!”

 

It indeed going to be all about LIFE AND LIVING, and whether one recognizes in their own life or not, daily, or ever, ALL LIFE HAS VALUE / MEANING / PURPOSE – again, YOU may not see nor appreciate it BUT OTHERS DO whether they overtly say it aloud either. We are NOT going to have a CLARENCE like in IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE come down and show us. Plus, obviously, that is a very, purposefully, over-the-top, DRAMATIC script/movie to make the point. None of us likely saving a brother who goes on to become a War Hero. Stop a Pharmacist from poisoning a Child. Etc….

 

Again, OUR LIVES are most certainly to be MORE MUNDANE from 30,000 foot view. BUT, little things can and do matter. Again, I do not want to go into it all here as obviously I AM RESERVING IT FOR THE STORY/BOOK.
 

OBVIOUSLY, if other authors are looking on I’ve GIVEN AWAY TOO MUCH ALREADY and they too might want “borrow” (to be NICE) the concept (not like, as an overall “concept” it is really anything completely novel (pun intended, LOL) but the way I am going to do it I hope all find “unique” and worthy of your purchase) and try to rush their own book out before me. Mine, another thing I probably shouldn’t share here, will have a bit of Movies, Music, Podcasting, and Sports, sprinkled into the mix regarding the Detroit Michigan area.

 

At any rate (regular listeners to my CTP Show will get that inside joke) again just suffice it to say I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW someone that will NEED READ THAT BOOK/STORY (maybe even YOU, but I say that cuz of course any and all my books make GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFTS (yep, Christmas in July for me right now LOL)…. Here is a list of “LIFE” related items that I have written here (available FREE, as long as B4IN stays Advertising oriented and hopefully NEVER introduces a PAYWALL SUBSCRIPTION based model). Yes, I have things on TheLibertyBeacon as well as SUBSTACK and even BLOGSPOT that would/could relate to, but I am just sticking to fellow B4IN items here-in.

Currently in chapter 2 – if it stays there:
“…Look not on his countenance, or height of stature … Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart” [1 Samuel 16:7]. “…there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus” [Galatians 3:28]. From where MLK Jr. derived his “Content Of Character” theme/message.

 

“Project CARPE DIEM!”

[Wed. Jul. 2  2025 UPDATE]

 

From a what was unrelated thread going on #TruthSocial. Gulag Archipelago 2.0 (@NStern) was posted some music that was in his head – via Music Videos links. I responded with a tune that his tune popped into my head. Soon he responded to my response with…

 

I need more actual music in my life!

My response, to that response:

 

This may be too blanket a statement, but anyway…
I think we MIGHT all do WELL if all of us had MORE #MUSIC in our Lives.
But, like with all things, it can depend.
There is POSITIVE influence stuff, and some that may be WRONG FOR US (negative influence) depending on our point/stage in Life and what the Man upstairs wants/needs us to hear to help MOVE US in a particular direction or another.

Coincidentally, the #book I am working on right now – calling it “Project CARPE DIEM” for now (that won’t be the #book title) – is going to have many #Music references in it. Hoping to invoke those tunes into peoples’ heads and help relate the Story and help make some points without fully having to write paragraphs to “spell such out!”

I hope it will release Aug. 1, but anything can happen to delay or even it falling completely apart and getting scrapped entirely – but, so far, so good, the words are flowing well – time will tell (oh, LOL, now I’ll have ONLY TIME WILL TELL – ASIA in my head the rest of the day). I hope you’ll consider getting it and use it to build a “Project CARPE DIEM” related YouTube or whatever PLAYLIST. 

THANK YOU, cuz now as I type this, THAT gives me an idea to create an OFFICIAL “PROJECT CARPE DIEM” Playlist of the related tunes that folks can listen to AFTER READING THE BOOK and thereafter any time they feel they need the point/purpose/sentiment of that book back in their Life! LOL

 

Maybe I will start building it now, come back and update this piece with the (I guess, YouTube Playlist link? (on/at my YouTube channel) not sure, still just gestating thought in my head at this point) here so folks can see/hear the tunes as they build along the way of the expansion of the book’s pages as written. And I can have it loop in the background continually, hopefully, feeding more food for thought, motivation, inspiration?!?!?

I have not yet picked up the pen, figuratively speaking (yes, inputting via computer into TXT and DOCX files), for the day yet – so I think I will start building that Playlist now.
