Download or read book Diary of an Angry Father written by Miso N. Grey and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When that tiny little human shot out of his mother's hugely-dilated opening screaming bloody murder, no matter how hard Dad looked, there was no book, manual, DVD, or even a business card with a web address inside that nasty pouch called “the afterbirth.” Apparently, God, in His infinite wisdom, forgot to leave a manual. Unfortunately for you, and your children, this book may be as close as you're going to get. Miso N. Grey is no doctor. He's not a psychologist, nor a specialist, spiritualist, or a teacher. He's not even a daycare worker. But Grey is an experienced father. You can learn how to pick up chicks, steal a car, hack a computer, or even build a meth lab; but there is no authority on parenting. There are no experts, no government agencies, no churches, no organizations, no non-profits, or no no-one who knows what's best for any child. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying. Grey lists thousands of his clever findings in the pages of this book so you won't have to make the same mistakes. Diary of an Angry Father is seething. It's tongue-in-cheek and sarcastic to the bone. It's brutally honest. And it's a bunch of fun. Join the self-appointed “Child Raising Czar” on his wild adventures in parenthood as he debunks myths, defiles old wives tales, and destroys any preconceived notions you might have had about being a successful parent.

Download or read book Lou s on First written by Chris Costello and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intimate portrait of Lou Costello (1906-1959) offers a rare look at one of the most talented comedians of all time. Starting in the 1930s, Costello attained enormous fame touring the burlesque circuits with straight man Bud Abbott (1895-1974). Their live skits (including "Who's on First?"), radio programs, and films such as One Night in the Tropics, Buck Privates, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and In the Navy made comic history. Behind the scenes, however, Costello faced numerous crises: a bout with rheumatic fever that left him bedridden for months, the drowning death of his young son, and constant haggles with Universal Studios over its reluctance to adequately finance productions of Abbott and Costello films. Lou's on First goes beyond Costello's clownish persona to explore his Pagliacci nature: the private demons behind the happy public face, the heartbreaking moments in an otherwise storybook marriage, the business ventures soured by unscrupulous managers, and the true nature of the breakup of his twenty-one-year partnership with Bud Abbott.
