It Blows My Mind

“”Finally! Someone has pointed out that some plugs are so big that they cover the adjacent outlet, and that ‘Wizard’ is such a stupid word that it sucks to even say it. You need this collection of outraged observations about the ridiculous world we live in.”” – Joel McIver (Author) How often does someone do something that just blows your mind? The one thing that’s common among us all is that we think everyone else is annoying. I know I’m perfect. But in your mind, I’m far from it! It Blows My Mind is a comedic look at everyday frustrations from the mind of Carmine, an overdramatic man who’s easily agitated. Carmine is a lot like you and me, but maybe a little different in his reasoning and a bit more passionate in his disdain for things like Online Motivational Quotes , Parents That Bring a Baby to a Movie Theater , Wizards and Over-Friendly Neighbors . Get ready to laugh, as you see the world through Carmine’s eyes in It Blows My Mind! “As a middle-aged shnook constantly astonished by the idiocy of humanity, I found It Blows My Mind to be highly relatable and highly hilarious.” – Tony Rettman (Author) “ Thank God someone still has a sense of humor in this challenging world that we live in these days. Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations, laughter is truly the best medicine and Danny surely hits the spot. Take no prisoner’s brother.” – Drew Stone (Filmmaker / Musician) “Danny and Mick really bring their character Carmine to life in It Blows My Mind. He may be a little dramatic, but that’s what makes him so appealing. There’s a little Carmine in all of us!” – Roger Miret (Author/Musician) “The thing I enjoy the most about Danny Marianino’s writing is that it reads like you’re having a conversation with him and “”It Blows My Mind”” is no exception. He calls out everything and everybody, including himself! Seriously though, why DO we save all of the plastic containers? Things to ponder.” – Samantha Bednarz (Comedian/writer) “It Blows My Mind is a fun, if sometimes profane and indelicate foray into the personal peccadillos and social mores that, if we were honest, we would admit drive most normal folks fucking crazy. Danny Marianino’s thinly-veiled alter ego, “Carmine,” who is given a brilliant humanity by the incredibly talented visual artist Mick Lambrou, is an everyman philosopher, a sort of Andy Rooney meets Pete Clemenza, crossed with a smiling Buddha… in a Hawaiian shirt. Turn by turn, Danny and Mick excoriate the mundane and the presumptuous; the pompous and petty that has been cultivated by our “new normal.” Whether it be holding babies (“No thank you”), public restrooms, “reply all,” or sucking on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze, Danny’s lively commentary and observations read like a cigar-mouthed, saliva-moistened-thumbed “friend of ours” is giving you some good advice in a thick Jersey accent. Lots of laughs and some really great pieces from Mick. 5 stars.” – Steve DiLodovico (Author/publisher DiWulf Publishing House) “”Danny Marianino and Mick Lambrou have concocted one of the funnier volumes you’re going to eyeball this, or any other year. All of us have our own It Blows My Mind within us, but these guys had the pelotas to let the misanthropy fly. I’m comforted to know that there are others as disgusted by the habits and tendencies of the human race as I am!”” – Howie Abrams (Author) —- ISBN: 9798406227558
