5Seriously Steve…your laugh isnt that bad!!!!
This interview was great…in all of my Internet efforts I try to let my personality come through. But its tough at times since the Internet is pretty impersonal!!
I think the key is liking or even loving what you do can be heard by everyone, even if they are just reading
Thanks for sharing the video.

11I believe that the History Channel and Hollywood provoke this fear so people will spend money on various “dream Items” or with the belief “Well we are gonna die soon anyways mind as well spend the money”.

12Well that was their beliefs, then its a kind not good but we don’t have any authority to contradict what they used to believe on. But in contrast with that their, we people are up to their family futures so they don’t spend much on money. Sometimes I believe on that but I don’t practice it. It is your choose to make it or not.
