    About this ebook

    The words spun around my aching brain in an endless loop
    as I marched through the dense heat of the urban brush.
    Youre too nice a guy Jackson.
    That may have been true before this morning.
    But as of 9:17 AM this morning, the moment Fat Heads
    nightstick rocked my dome, I started to transform into something
    elsesomething primal, something strong, and in many
    ways, something long overdue.
    A sleeping giant of buried rage had been awoken.
    I thought about Tarmok and the rage of the Bull Mongoni.
    The barbarian within me had taken over, this time for good.
    I began too feel pity for anyone who dared stand in my way
    as I began my dark journey of escape.
    I am Wes Jackson.
    I am ignorant in the Hollywood Barbell Club sense of the word.
    Wes Jackson Lives.
