It took me over two years, and I completed the story of my lifeover two hundred sixty pages of it. I hope that my story can help you achieve goals that you believe are impossible to achieve without higher education. I tell you to turn from the world and sin; turn to our Father through Jesus, and you will achieve the goals that you fear you cannot achieve but desire dearly to achieve. I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me (Philippians 4:13).

Phil shares his personal ecstasy and anguish in learning the lessons of life through wrestling. The vivid and intimate descriptions of his hilarious and sometimes terrifying experiences keep you wanting to read more about his life.

Time is a queer commodity that is reconstructed in memories and deconstructed in regrets as it goes by. Most of us sleepwalk through our youth in trying to win some kind of an identity . Then we stumble upon middle age & scramble to preserve that identity . And suddenly, standing at mid-point , we realize that somewhere in this medley of all the artificial races we were enlisting in, we have quietly let go of our greatness. Partly by default , partly by design. The first pangs of urgency hit us. We know this is no dress rehearsal. It is our own life that is gliding past. We straighten up and reach for it. And try to snare it on print. This book is Ayon’s attempt to capture his journey at intermission, narrated through a heterogeneous ensemble of his articles that take you through events, relationships, successes and failures which add up into the randomness of his life that he joins backwards into coherent stories.

This is the account of my 39 years in California, mostly in the San Francisco Bay area, where I have experienced God’s presence on more than one occasion, and how he saved me from my sinful ways and taught me a better way to live. I am still not perfect, but if you read what God had me go through, you will see that I should have already been dead on many occasions and God kept me alive so that I might share my testimony. Unfortunately, my early life drug use led me to be schizoaffective, which has caused me to hear what I consider to be Angels and Demons. I also suffer from PTSD and scrupulosity a form of OCD. Despite these many challenges I have made it a point to share my life with the world so that people who go through weird things know that they are not alone and many of us suffer in order for God’s glory to be revealed. In this book through my many strange and wonderful experiences, I hope to prove that God exists and that he is here to help and save us from ourselves.

When the White Sox met the Astros in the 2005 World Series, it marked only the second time Chicago team had appeared in a televised World Series. (The first was in 1959 when the White Sox lost to the Dodgers.) Of the other 12 Series involving the Cubs or White Sox, seven occurred before the radio broadcasting of baseball. Five others were broadcast, but because the games were played during the workday, fans continued to get their coverage from newspapers. There they found accounts penned by some of the greatest journalists of the 20th century, including Ring Lardner, Grantland Rice, Arthur "Bugs" Baer and Westbrook Pegler, as well as legendary Chicago scribes Charles Dryden, James Crusinberry, Hugh Fullerton, I.E. Sanborn, and Irving Vaughan. With a chapter on each World Series involving a Chicago team, this book covers 100 years of championship diamond contests in the Windy City, from the intra-city classic of 1906 to the end of the White Sox's 88-year championship drought in 2005. Contemporary accounts from newspapers and sports publications complement the author's informed commentary, providing two views of the Series: one shared by those who were there, and one informed by the decades since.
