Edwin M Basye's Blog - The ecclectic eccentric journaling of one man

I just finished Gary Vaynerchuk's Crush It!

Gary is honest, full of integrity and is probably the most driven man in business I've heard speak.

The book gave me a lot to think about:

1. What IS my passion anyway? It seems that I have so many. This is going to take some thought.
2. What is the best way for me to disseminate content? Vlogs, Blogs, Audio podcasts?

This book held my interest although a few parts were a bit dry. The authors have obviously done their homework and present some interesting theories on the life of Jesus, the Templars, the Prieuré de Sion (Priory of Sion), and European and Jewish history.  Some material used as a basis for the book has been exposed as fakes and forgeries (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priory_of_Sion). Nevertheless it's still worth reading if you are interested in speculative history or interested in reading about one of the greatest hoaxes of the 20th century.

A novel with some historical fiction intertwined with a modern-day spy story. An engrossing novel, but I was extremely disappointed by the ending, which lacks any moral compass or believability.

I just put up this YouTube video for my friend Susan. She has a lot to offer in the area of health, nutrition, and spirituality. Check out her website!

I just put this video up for my friends at AlcoholCanBeAGas.com. I love doing website work for things I really believe in. Take a look:
