BOOK CLUB - PART 3 - THE FINAL ADVENTURES OF RAINBOW ROB

Ok. So, you have all been such good little waiters. No, I mean like you are good at waiting....NOT you are good at serving tables. Although, maybe you are? Oh, you know what I meant! So....

When we last left Rob he was trying things out.

Finding what fits can really fill you with doubt.

He tried to be orange, yellow, green and then red.

But nothing was right, they were all wrong instead!

I was willing to overlook the crack about 'small'.

And walking on snow is not like me at all.

C'mon, PINK in the rainbow? That's crazy and dumb!

And pink and Rob go together like ice-cream and "yum".

At this point in the story, the author's on crack.

But like any good book, we'll soon be on track!

So there. There you have it. The whole point of the book.

To tell all the world, that it's not how you look.

This book, as you seen, is the story of me.

And now I tell it to you, quite openly.

My message to you? Don't just run with the herd.

Just be true to yourself, just like this little bird!

BOOK CLUB - PART 2 - THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF RAINBOW ROB

Remember last week when I introduced you to "Rainbow Rob", the book that was based on my true life stories? Well, I wanted to share some more from this exceptional book. If you remember from last time, poor Rainbow Rob came to the realization that he didnt want to be just black and white. Inspired by the rainbow, R.R. went on a quest for colour. As you can see, this book is a thinly disguised collection of my life experiences. The book is "Packed with wacky characters, funny rhymes and lots to touch and feel." I don't want to give it all away, but here are a few more pages of this amazing book. Enjoy.

BAD AT RUNNING? Sad but true. No reason to run, how 'bout you?
Now, I am not sure about 'chicken shocking', but I am awful fond of talking.

I 

I could not live in a tree, true 'dat. I could not live up high like that.

In real life, I don't miss the sea, this author, I think, does not know me!

I am not a yellow cat. And very strong, not weak and fat.
I'm sure by now, you see my rhymes. That is why these are 'good times'!

Oh author yes, my smile is snappy. This book about me, makes me happy!
I walk a lot 'cause I have no car. I often walk to the local bar.


So that is it for now my friends, you know the endings on its way,
and tune in next time to this blog to see what else I have to say!

ROB CROXFORD BOOK CLUB - PART 1

Hello friends! I was recently introduced to a book, and in my continuing effort to model myself after Oprah, I would like to suggest it to you. But first, I need to give you a little background.

You see, I was visiting a dear friend and her gorgeous baby girl in Winnipeg for a week. The baby, who is just over a year old is CUTE AS A SPOTTED PUPPY (she might even be CUTER than even that)! Anyways, after my visit was over, the poor baby was inconsolable. She would cry all the time, because of this new emptiness in her life. She, like most who have prolonged exposure to my **sparkling personality, felt sad to have me gone. Oh the sadness. How would she fill the void left by my presence? HOW? What can possibly take my place? A few days later, an answer came. BAM! Just like that, there was a book. And although this book can never replace me, it serves as a constant reminder of me for the sweet baby. 

I feel that this book speaks directly to me, and in fact, I am ALMOST sure it is directly about me!! This deep and powerful biographical book about my true life story....is moving and original.

Let me share some of it with you.

"RAINBOW ROB

Packed with wacky characters, funny rhymes and lots to touch and feel."

Now, I am sure the author knew me well enough to know that although I have lots of wacky friends, and although I am partial to a bit of every-day rhyme, I DO NOT LIKE THE IMPLICATION OF THE "lots to touch and feel".

It makes me sound fat. Or slutty.

Despite this, I ventured forward. You know that you cannot judge a book by its cover.

Do you see the parallels? It is obvious, no? Part of me is upset to have my life splayed out as entertainment for small children. The other part feels that if the pain of my life can help guide a young mind, than I have fulfilled my purpose in life.

This is as far in the book as I am. I will share more in a later post! I know it will be hard to wait, but all good things come.........etcetera.

**sparkling personality is purely subjective, and may or may not be accurate for all persons.
