Born Under a Black Cloud and Then I Married Hitler's Daughter

The primary reason for writing this book was to describe the difficult circumstances I have encountered in every endeavor that eventually ended my quest for success. Although I never failed in any challenge, the end was always predictable. I was always doomed to be the loser. My attempts to achieve success were always to follow clearly marked paths that numerous people before me had followed and found success. They achieved their goals. It never worked for me. In every endeavor I began with the full knowledge of how I was to proceed and operate until some unforeseen problem interfered. I thought that I was a success in the Race to the moon until that race was cancelled by a war. I was overcome by flood from a broken water main that destroyed my business. A sudden change in the law that at first protected my business and then later denied it. A sudden fire in an adjacent building destroyed the roof of my business. A change in how computers made life amazingly good was replaced by cell phones. It appeared that somehow I was not meant to be a success.

My Reason

Even before I was born my goal was to be born but that was quickly changed to mere survival. My mother attempted an early abortion by bathing in a tub that was filled with a laundry lye soap that was definitely a method used to kill the unborn child within her, but it ultimately failed, and I was born. Of course, I never knew about this even till much later in my life. I then began my life not knowing that every future opportunity was predestined to not come to fruition. I never understood that my path to success was under the path of my personal Dark Cloud.

My first marriage was wonderful until several years later my wife learned of how she was born and the infamous circumstance that permitted her birth was enough to destroy everything two years later.
