So, well, it's not a good question because like I've had such a good interview, you know, and it's been fun and we've been laughing and, and then we get sober. Right. And the problem is, is emotionally when I start to talk about it or think about it, I tear up. Like when you're like, when you're like, you know, I cried like that. Listen, cried like a small child at my sentence.

And when I think about the person I was and the person I am, Although I laugh and I love that time in my life and I love doing those things. But I think about like when you went to jail. Right. The one thing I know when the one thing you never once laid in bed and thought about was, God, I miss that nice car. God, I miss that. You don't think that shit at all.

All you thought about was I miss Michelle. I miss my fucking kids. I miss my cat. I miss like that's it. That's it. Oh, I ever gave a shit. Don't worry about that material stuff at all. Absolutely. And that's exactly what happened was I went to prison. angry, pissed off, furious, didn't deserve this much time, these piece of garbage, say this. And I was reasonable.

I was like, yeah, okay, I broke the law, but I didn't deserve this much time. And even to this day, I'm like 26 years, come on. It's a lot of time. It's a lot of time, but it's like, you don't get to choose. So you're putting yourself at their mercy the moment you do that. And I think that I started thinking that way. met a buddy of mine. He got like 30, he actually got 40 years.

And, you know, we started talking. And one of the things he had told me one time was, you know, you can't go to prison and continue to think in the same manner that led you to prison and leave prison and not expect to come back. Right. And I was, you know, and that's more than just, oh, no, no, but I'm not going to commit crime. He's like, it's not the crime. It was your thought process.

So, and you'll eventually commit a crime, you know, if you keep thinking like that. So what happened is, you know, went to prison, wrote a memoir, my memoir. Okay. And when I was writing that memoir, I ended up writing the first draft, which was horrible. I had to rewrite it, read several books about how to write.

And ended up writing this little tiny book, and I wish I could remember it. And the woman was like, look, you need to look into your life. One of the things you need to do is look in your life and figure out what the key moments were that helped create the person that you are today so that it will explain to the reader – it will give the reader reasons what helped craft you. And I used to hate –

And I used to hate –

to think about, to complain about my childhood or anything. You know, I don't want to say that because you meet, I mean, you meet guys that were like chained to fucking, they were locked up in the basement or their parents beat them almost to death or they, you know, horrible things. That it was like, I didn't have that.
