Gen'I'us

After being based in the smallest most southern town of Turkey called Kas I have had a lot of time to think. I know what you’re thinking – blonde gal on a rather long gap year ‘thinking’ – worrying I know. Well you would be right. It is worrying, I think so much I plan my future at the very least once a day right down to the finer details of projected income, level of job satisfaction, perceived lifestyle, I’m the modern-day better looking Nostradamus.

All this thinking about my future has also lead to some heated debates on what we shall do with our ‘Euro-Millions’ winning lottery ticket that we have not yet bought but I have no doubt in mind will come.  Off topic but noted.

It has also got me storming on the ‘invention’ side of life. Which got me thinking – further of course as to my history with my own inventions. I mention this because my mind sometimes hits genius levels – if I’m to be modest here. But for every invention I have had, I have been unable to act on any of them, which is sad to say the very least. They say if you put your mind to something it will happen, well I put my mind to it, on a few occasions now that I tally them up, and the world obviously wasn’t ready for pure genius-ness.

First stroke of genius: When I was a small motion sickness pre-schooler I invented a flip down tray from the roof of the car that had clips and holders for all my drawing things so that I too could draw or read without the urge of wanting to throw up. “Genius” I hear you murmur, well it was, unfortunately I didn’t foresee technology taking such a massive advance (I was only about 7) and instead the flip down TV screen blew my little invention out of the water. I still think it would work for the parents who don’t want their children becoming television and play station zombies.

First “stolen” bright idea: I am sure you have seen the multi-veg cutter, that is scissor-like in its appearance but instead of blades it cutes say a whole cucumber into slices – clever I know. So I am almost sure [100%, well there or there abouts] that I came up with that first, perhaps after my early signs of genius with the fold down tray tipped off the feds [the inventor feds] and they snatched that one up while I told it to my mom in the car years and years ago.

These are just two examples that if I have followed through, would probably be sipping Mai Thais on a beach somewhere [I guess I’m already dong that, but say my wallet would weigh me down – like A LOT]. About 3 years ago I had an invention for high heels that would blow ol Jimmy [the Chooooooo] out the water. I just need some 5-step-guide-on-how-to-submit-your-invention-and-be-super-famous-guide. Where oh where can I find this? I now have an idea for the food industry that would make my life and millions of others out there easier if only I knew who the ‘Go To’ guy was.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is, that when your kid says he has a cool idea on how to slice up an avo in perfect slithers all at once, or a contraption that de-pips olives, or if she thinks it would be a cool to have all your music on a small device that you could listen to anytime, or even if he has a great idea to join all his friends together [and some] on a website online where they can share pictures and thoughts and stuff like that – you could be…well… A GENIUS!

So for all those investors out there reading my blog looking for a great invention or the latest fad … Feel free to contact me – anytime.

Yours truly

Undiscovered Genius-Stu.
