A FEW LITTLE WORDS

Brain the Size a Planet!

I find it easy writing books of inventive playful use of language as an element in your literature in great fantasy, psychology and surprise but a few words on yourself is easier said than done. Well I am Tom Morton born in Belfast 1964 and according to the society of the real World I am not one of those Rocket Scientists or high achievers in the system, but my memory for numbers tells a different story.

I do not expect the World to understand why I memorise Pi or how I actually think it. I am driven and want to give back so much to this World that I have taken so much from.

Yes I have an extraordinary gift. However I don't actually want to do this. I would rather write my books and draw my illustrations. Learning Pi to over 70,000 places is about as much fun as being stuck in a lift. Unless it is with Cindy Crawford and the Otis & The Elevators Engineer is on holiday.

And I believe the problems of the World would be better fixed if we all had better brains, maybe my imagination can inspire. With 314tom.com I want a VW Camper Van with the change, and maybe after get my teeth fixed like a Hollywood Star. So it is all a bit of a sick fire in my head that I cannot put out.

There are at least twenty people in the World like me, who have recited Pi above 10,000. There is a little planet of us. Only one of these twenty golden wonder boys can write and draw. And what a sunshinechoppers he is.

I also have no Masters Degree or Strawberries & Cream from University, as I was always self-taught surrounded by books of information and a great surprise at school. My belief now ingraining whatever version of autism that I have, then surely my imagination is a great gift to share with the World. And in my angles as I write with great invention is to popularise every science of the mind. My writing is much more than pretty words as I know that I am sharing a part of my soul as every time I write my mind is on display.

So when you have a brain that thinks that fast with numbers, you really have no choice, even if I am an odd duck with my own private Everest. Well that’s a bit about me, and there is always hope for the big kids inside all of us as writing books and memorising Pi are both a magic show worthy of David Copperfield and the genius of Albert Einstein. And with this Pi, if you are good at something. Then you can never do it for free!

I am that brand of high functioning autism where I talk and think like an inner child creative fool yet my words on paper come together as original cathartic reflection through my fingers. I know I can bring to life whole ways of discussion that our society has never contemplated before even though I live in my own little bubble of a million connections and words. Which of course come in handy when learning the Pi. I have never made any real ceremony of my genius of thinking in terms of mental camera as I think by a set of rules that were not written for the human race. So this World record for Pi is just ten minutes of my life that will polish the talent that is already there. The 314tom just touches the surface.

Best Wishes xx Tom
