You should know this about me…

By Ross Goldberg | February 27, 2007

I’ve actually had 2 brushes with death.  I nearly died in 2003, as
well as my coma in 2005.  I was leaving a bar with a few friends
and we got attacked by a group of 20 people.  A car pulled up and a
guy walked out with a gun.  He began walking toward my best friend.
I was absolutely annihilated (drunk out of my mind) and decided to
step in the way.  I asked him “We live in Wisconsin, what are you
going to do with that?”, his response was to pull the trigger.

The funny thing was that the gun was full of BBs, not bullets.  I
responded by punching this genius.  He responded by hitting me with
the butt of the gun.  The problem here is that the butt of a BB gun
has a 1/2 inch metal nub on it.  That nub knocked a portion of my
skull up against my brain.  I blacked out for a few seconds.  I do
not remember any thing that happened next, but am told that I
stomped on at least 5 of the 20 guys that attacked us.  I guess I
was angry ;-)

The hit from the pistol missed my temple by an inch.  $30,000 worth
of neurosurgery later, I was as good as new!

I mention this because it has a lot to do with what I want to tell
you next.

During my coma in 2005, I had a conversation with someone.  I don’t
know who the conversation was with.  It could have been The
Almighty, An Angel, or a Cruel Nurse.  I will never know the truth.
I do know that the conversation has changed my life dramatically.

The conversation consisted of a lot of questions from me, trying to
understand what was happening to me.  During my coma I hallucinated
the entire time (this is may be part of those hallucinations).  I
asked what was going on and why I was sick.  The response was that
I should be dead.

He stated that I had lightning running through my veins and would
not be going anywhere anytime soon.
This man said that I had too much to offer the world to be taken
away and until I fulfilled what he needed me to do, I would be
invulnerable to Mr. Grim Reaper.  He stated that this was the
second time he intervened when I was on the verge of death.

That day my wife brought my 6 month old son to see me (he just
turned 2).  I remember opening my eyes and locking stares with my
son.  I woke from my coma the next day.

This leads to my new moniker.  I am now The Immortal Marketer.
You’ll see more about what that means to you in the near future.

What does all of that mean?  Probably not much.  I honestly assume
that it was some crazy nurse that was placating me during one of my
many hallucinations.  I guess we will just have to wait and see!

Thanks,
Ross Goldberg
