When Forest Gump died, he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "Welcome, Forest. We've heard a lot about you." He continued, "Unfortunately, it's getting pretty crowded up here and we find that we now have to give people an entrance examination before we let them in."
"Okay," said Forest. "I hope it's not too hard. I've already been through a test. My momma used to say, 'Life is like a final exam. It's hard.' "
"Yes, Forest, I know. But this test is only three questions. Here they are."
1) Which two days of the week begin with the letter 'T'?"
2) How many seconds are in a year?
3) What is God's first name?
"Well, sir," said Forest, "The first one is easy. Which two days of the week begin with the letter 'T'? Today and Tomorrow."
St. Peter looked surprised and said, "Well, that wasn't the answer I was looking for, but you have a point. I give you credit for that answer."
"The next question," said Forest, "How many seconds are in a year? Twelve."
"Twelve?" said St. Peter, surprised and confused.
"Yes, sir. January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd …"
St. Peter interrupted him. "I see what you mean. I'll have to give you credit for that one, too."
"And the last question," said Forest, "What is God's first name? It's Andy."
"Andy?" said St. Peter, in shock. "How did you come up with 'Andy'?"
"I learned it in church. We used to sing about it." Forest broke into song, "Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am His own."
St. Peter opened the gate to heaven and said, "Run, Forest, Run!"

My poem "We Started As Friends" is in a print journal called Metaphor that came out yesterday...

It is published by April Mae Berza over in the Philippines, and other than that, I don't know a whole lot about it. I got this note earlier today, and can't recall much...then I checked my records and realized I submitted this stuff about a year ago...so yeah, I have no clue where I heard of this one...but it is their third issue apparently...



I have a feeling if you're looking to get something in print, it's not that hard...hey, they took one of mine, send her a note...here's the link on Amazon btw...

Fre Thought
4:40 PM (22 minutes ago)

to emmanuel.neal, bcc: me
Hello all! I hope this email finds you doing well. I'm done with this semester of school so I can now devote my attn to the anthology that you all submitted to. 40 ppl contributed so I appreciate all of you. The name of the book will be Dear Cancer...The Anthology. the proceeds for the first year will go to Little Red Door Agency in Indianapolis, IN. I chose them because a few organizations were recommended but they were the only one that responded to me.

I have a marketing firm lined up that will help me to promote the book. I also have a PR firm lined up to help bring attention to the project and put it in front of ppl. The cover is being worked on as we speak.

I'm considering adding another part to this project called Ribbon Readings. My thought is to upload recorded readings of pieces to youtube. Thoughts? If you'd like to send me your videos of you reading your piece(s) that would be great. I'm going to do it as well.

I'm shooting for August publication. I will send u a review before final publication. No I can't afford to give free books but you will have the pdf copy of the final product. Any other thoughts or questions are welcomed.

Thanx

Fre

p.s. Fre Thought is my artist name but I'll use my name, Emmanuel Neal, as the editor.

p.s.2. These pieces are so moving and touching. I'm really humbled that you shared with me and the world. Some people are really going to be helped by your words.

I have two poems published in Survivors' Poetry Issue No. 44...U.K. based Survivors' Poetry promotes poetry, and art by survivors of mental illness, and mental distress in general...anyway, my poems "Neon Sign" and "Guilty Of What, I Do Not Know" appear in this issue starting on page 38. There's some other cool stuff in here that might be of interest btw...I have no idea when this issue came out, and I see the current issue is No. 47. I just happened to come across this in a Google search, and I'm pretty sure I submitted these poems at least two years ago...

Poetry Express Newsletter # 44
http://www.survivorspoetry.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PEN44.pdf

Their website might be of interest to some here as well, and as mentioned their motto is promoting poetry by survivors of mental distress. They're connected with The National Health Service in London.
