Mount Everest




MOUNT EVEREST

     You know, I am completely dumfounded by people and persons who want to climb Mount Everest.  The world has so many other joys then tempting death!  If your life is so boring that you feel the need to climb a rock then I definitely want you to read this to understand that climbing the mountain of humanity and seeing the beauty of the world and all it has to offer is much more rewarding than climbing a ROCK! 

     I have traveled and traversed so much of this planet and seen more of humanity and it’s creations then most and that is what I call climbing Mount Everest; the Mount Everest of humanity!  I have stayed in the Siag Hotel in Egypt and visited the large and famous three pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx and even went up into the tomb of one of these famous pyramids in Giza.  The tomb itself was very small and the inner tunnel to it was so small I had to hunch to walk through it; the actual tomb seemed to be smaller than my living room.  I went to the National museum in Alexandria, Egypt and looked down upon the Sarcophagus of King Tut which was only three feet from my face and was brought to complete tears at the history that lay before me.  This was the Gold Sarcophagus and not the inner ones that tour the United States.

     I have met what we refer to as Celebrities my entire life.  I have had Cicely Tyson pick me out from behind a crowd who was besieging her and look directly into my eyes and blow me a kiss.  I have talked to Chaka Khan; Lieutenant Uhuru from Star Trek grabbed my face with both hands and told me that it was “going to be alright…”  I’ve even spoken to the legendary Diana Ross for a fleeting moment.  The famous stylist Jose Eber stopped dead in his tracks when I was a young beauty in Hollywood and told his whole posse while staring at me in disbelief; “How beautiful!”  Yes, I have climbed my own Mount Everest in life and I didn’t have to face an inane and senseless death to do it.

     That’s not to say that I haven’t faced death.  I have stared a gang leader in the eye who had a full and completely premeditated desire to kill me and told him straight to his face; “The only thing you can do to me is send me to Heaven!”  This gang leader ended up walking away, cowered from my steadfast resolve as all of his three hundred gang members walked away with him.  All of this is in my memoirs.

     Apart from Africa, I have even traveled to parts of my maternal ancestral home which is Germany.  I am also proud to say that I have landed on the ice rock known as Antarctica in the middle of the night and felt like I was in a Steven Spielberg movie as the snow tossed through the icy environment as if it itself was being directed by God and knew we were visiting.

     This would all come as a surprise to a recent friend of mine named Hayden who said, “All you do is stay at home!  You’re a homebody!”  I had built a home that was like a dream to me; I had put in a beautiful bronze full color oxide tile and granite wherever it suited me.  I had a complete wall of sixteen foot high windows with cathedral ceilings throughout the entire top floor.  I had a fireplace pit room that you could walk into and sit on a carpeted bench that surrounded the fireplace.  I had a four and a half foot tall brass statue of the Goddess Lakshmi that I had purchased at the Gem and Mineral show in Tucson, Arizona that was stunning!  I had done the world…  When I met Hayden, I had seen so much.  I needed rest!  Eventually I hit the road and a life called traveling once again.

     But at this point in my life; all I am looking for is love.  The final frontier.  Love was all I ever sought and all I ever needed and it is that love that has eluded me most.

     So if you want to tempt death and play Russian Roulette with a loaded gun with more than one bullet than just go ahead and literally climb the most dangerous ROCK on Earth called Mount Everest and play that game; it’s your life and your choice.  But I suggest to you that you have not climbed the rock of life for then you would not need the stimulus of tempting an idiotic fate.  Some mountains are like a flame; they are meant to be looked at and nothing else.  But life is a rainbow and I cannot choose your color for you but I will offer my advice; always.  And I can proudly say, “I have placed my flag in many hearts.”
