Why Not?

​

It's not even the 'last thing I'd want.' No interviews, no awards, no recognition, no honors, no 'spot light,' no attention, no elites or celebrities (not my crowd); I will avoid interviewing these people too.

​

Because

​

None of what I do is about me. This is all about you, for you. I am not a 'show.' I am raw, the real deal (as much as possible). I want to associate with 'normal people', the 'average person,' aka true friends.
