Sunflower Diaries: Cryptology Applied to Star Trek, Transwarp Beaming, American Tax System, and Why God Needs a Starship, Volume 18 [NOOK Book]

Closet Cryptologist. Recreational Graphic Artist. Typical Absentminded Professor buried in research. Teleology Enthusiast. I've worked in the Entertainment Industry. I have eclectic tastes and a diverse background, which I feel gives me keener insight and perspective on things. I served as a sales manager. I used to write instruction and technical manuals for companies. I taught classes on how gaming concepts from World of WarCraft can be applied to daily life. I'm working on a research project collecting data from the Associated Press Feed and the Internet Movie Database developing a theory that a coherent pattern can be mapped out with celebrities, their careers, and birthdates. I'm especially working with concepts regarding the Gaia Theory by James Lovelock and the Unconscious Collective Theory by Carl Jung. I'm developing theories regarding my research on the concept of Subconscious Psychology. I especially take keen interest in astronomy news and studying the Sun's solar flares. My current game plan right now is to offer a selection of free books while I'm an unknown author to showcase my writing style. Hopefully, people will enjoy my literature and I can develop a fanbase of readers who will purchase my books that I do charge for. The plan is to just write a ton of books on various topics to show how the wisdom learned from studying Cryptology and using metaphors and analogies taken from other fields of study can be applied to all aspects of life. You don't need to know everything. You just need to know how to find information and have the reasoning skills and comprehension to understand how what is seen in one aspect of your life is applicable to another part. It simplifies your life when you follow a formula or have a standard operating system to govern over yourself rather than trying to juggle multiple masks for the various roles, responsibilities, and tasks you take on. I hope that by showing what I know in a wide variety of fields will lend credibility to my knowledge and experience that I impart in my writing. That will, in turn, increase the value of my written work so that people will feel they're getting their money's worth. If nothing else, I try to make my writing educational as well as entertaining. If all goes well, I would like to use the revenues generated from my writing to further my research in Astronomy, Subconscious Psychology, and creating more awareness on how the concept of a living planet can fix a lot of the world problems that plague our society. My belief is that if people realize that Earth is a living and feeling organism rather than an inanimate piece of rock, people will treat the world and each other better. I'm not a tree hugger, vegetarian, or anything like that. I just think it's unfortunate we see a lot of senseless violence. Maybe if people realized that Earth is alive and that we all work together to further its existence, it will energize humankind into bringing forth a new Golden Age of Science, World Peace, and a brighter future for generations to come. I'm a huge fan of puns, which stems from having read the Xanth Series by Piers Anthony. I especially liked the Incarnations of Immortality Series. The Belgariad and Mallorean Series by David Eddings is another favorite. The 13th State of Rhode Island joined the United States on 5/29 of 1790. My literature would be referred to as a "Rod Island Read." I chose the pen name Rod Island because my name is Rod and I was born on 5/29. If you have this deep longing for new and inspiring books and have a thing for chickens, let me be your Mr. Write :)
