Most of you know I’m not that smart. “Smartfella” came about
as a play around with not wanting to be uncovered as the publisher of my
Foolishness…Or Is It Blog while at the same time being famous for publishing my
Blog.
Am I starting to lose you? Hang with me a little longer and I’ll try and find you and bring you back.
When I started I had visions being famous for my Blog but actually doing it in secret so I could go about my daily routines anonymously. That part of my vision came together in fine fashion because I have never been asked for my autograph.
Being Sly Cunning and Alert I came up with the idea of calling myself Smart Alex (because my name was Alex) but since that might give away my anonymity, I came up with Smartfella (see how smart I can be when I put my mind to it).
There is a lot wrong with the above plan of action. Not least of which is I did not become very famous. Proof of that is I published a book of some of my blog postings and I sold less than a hundred of copies of the book. I would not have flirted with the hundred number except for that fact that a number of my relatives felt obligated to buy a book.
Mao Zedong wrote The Little Red Book (some sources claim 6.5 billion copies have been distributed). My book is green so I could have called it The Little Green Book (but Muammar Gaddafi did that one). Time has proven The Little Read Book would have proven more appropriate.

I called my book the World’s Greatest Bathroom Book but,
since I sold less than a hundred of them, I probably should have called it A
Bathroom Book.

Today I found out that I really don’t want to be the
smartest man of all time. The smartest man that we know of led an awful
life.
No, his name was not Einstein (IQ estimated to be 160). His name was William James Sidis (IQ fell somewhere between 250 and 300). Read the link below to come to an understanding of how smart I am to not want to be as smart as he was…
