Before I start, everything you are about to read is entirely truthful to my knowledge. I have not created this work in search of fame, profit, or fortune of any kind. This is why I have withdrawn my true name from this project. I am not to be bought, to be bullied, or threatened, or to be offered fame, money, women, cars, houses, or anything physical. What I want in this life no human can give me.
I will be donating the majority of my share of the profit made from this book equally to three separate charities. One part is for our country's veterans, one part is for the homeless epidemic, and another is to help with the global food shortage. The last one percent will go towards the making of another book.
I have only been able to accomplish everything I have in this life through hard work, introspection, the help of everyone I hold dear, and the influences of everyone I have ever met. All those I have ever met have taught me a lesson in this life and helped shape me into who I am today. Without my family, my friends, my mentors, and especially my enemies, I would have never come as far as I have. So, thank you if you are any of these.
I am a collection of thoughts, ideas, and experiences I have undergone throughout my life. This work is simultaneously original because it is mine and unoriginal because I have drawn inspiration, knowledge, wisdom, and insight from countless sources, countless experiences, and countless friends and family who are both living and unfortunately dead. Key inspirations come from artists, musicians, painters, sculptures, architects, engineers, scientists, writers, warriors, philosophers, seekers, slaves, kings, angels, and even demons. So, if you are any of these, thank you for your contributions to this world. The world is a better place with you in it.
I am not original, for I am a collection of experiences of this life, of the lives of others. There is no such thing as original thought. Any thought you have ever had has been had by another human being at some point in time. I am a product of my time, influences, and, most importantly my choices, as are you. Ultimately, I am only a human being trying to make his way in this insane world, as are you. This is my story, one of infinite love and ultimate betrayal. I write this work out of love for my Father while hoping to avenge him and seek justice against his killers. I write this because I made a promise.
