A few weeks ago Burr Walker introduced me to the splendor that is the @horse_ebooks Twitter account. I don’t really know what to make of it. I can’t tell if it’s search engine spam, a spambot, an auto-Tweeting service, a link farm…
Whatever it is, it is brilliant. No matter its origin or intent, @horse_ebooks just so happens to be a fine collection of comedy gold. It captures, so well, the hopes and dreams of people who shop at Ross Dress For Less. You can be happy, darn it, if only you stick to that fad diet, run on that treadmill, get that helicopter license, and start that saltwater aquarium of your dreams. One day, you will find the perfect motivational tape that inspires you to quit your job and work from home selling your macaroni paintings on Ebay. Horse ebooks will set you free.
The only thing it won’t do is tell you much of anything about horses. Or books about horses.
Inspiration. Non-sequitors. Unfinished phrases. The essence of Wisdom. Instructions on How To Live Your Life. Horse ebooks is many things to many people, but it has so affected my life that I feel compelled, no driven to share it with others. The “tweet” format, though, does not afford the gravitas that the teachings of Horse ebooks so clearly deserve. And so, I have taken it upon myself to perform readings of their Twitter account. Which I present here for you, now, for free.
This is but the first in a series, so rest assured that this is only the beginning of a long and beautiful era. I hope you enjoy listening to these as much as I enjoy making them.
And I hope I inspire you to finally go for that multi-engine rating.
