Hypergraphia - Goodyear Tire

Here is some more correspondence, from a long night of writing strange things while hypomanic.

Dear Goodyear Tire,

I have some ideas that I think would be greeat for your company. I am a big fan of your work with tires (my first tire swing was a Goodyear!). I would be honored if you wrote me back to collaborate on my ideas!

My first idea is to fill things that normally fill with air with SOMETHING ELSE. I think that tires could be filled with FOAM (like shaving cream, only harder). This way they would never go flat! I think there would be a good market for bicycles, balloons, and maybe even the army. I have started experiments with shaving cream mixed with crazy glue. I would be pleased to send you my results!

My second idea is to save energy! I see that the Goodyear blimp is propelled by a propeller. What about filling the balloon that holds the advertising with helium? This would make it LIGHTER THAN AIR - much like a balloon! I have drawn plans and made calculations and would also be pleased to send them to you!

Let me know if you would like to collaborate. I would be proud to work with Goodyear!!!

Yours truly,

Mr. D. Stainton

Re: "Tire Idea and Ideas to Save Energy"

Dear Mr. Stainton:

Thank you for your correspondence regarding the above subject.

Your first idea relates to filling a tire with foam. there currently exist a number of variations this idea. I suggest you visit USPTO.gov and perhaps search your idea.

Goodyear blimps are currently filled with helium.

We wish you luck in your scientific endeavors and thank you for your interest in Goodyear.

Hypergraphia - When I Applied to Volunteer at the Olympics

During preparation for the Winter Olympics in 2010, I decided to apply to become a volunteer. Here is the ensuing correspondence:

Here is the art I created (I thought it was pretty good):

...and here is the lovely reply I received from the organizing committee:

I have written the IOC to see if they will create a new sport called "Biathabob" - where bobsledders race down the course, while the person in the rear shoots at targets. Fingers crossed!

Mental Note: Ideas are healthy. Not all are good. Esecially when you are manic.

Hypergraphia - Middlewalks

Since the medication still hasn't kicked in this morning and I am very hypomanic, here is a second post. It's a letter I wrote to the Premier of British Columbia with an idea for our roads:

Dear Mr. Campbell,

I have an idea! I live in vancouver with Mr. Sullivan our mayor. I have been thinging about his Eco Dense City ideas, and I have an idea that the WHOLE PROVENCE should think about!!!

I was walking today and I looked down and guess what? I was walking on a sidewalk! I started thinkin. There are 2 SIDES to everything. This means two SIDEwalks for every road! But you know what there is only 1 of??? A MIDDLE!!!

Can you please change our roads so that they have a MIDDLEwalk only? If people just walked in a special lane in the middle of our roads then there would be no more need for SIDEwalks! Cement and space would be saved!!!

It is up to you now!!! Please write me back and let me know if I can send you my plans!!! I will help in any way that I can to save space and make things more dense!!!

I will look forward every day to your letter!!!

Your friend,

Mr. D. Stainton
