   ### - damn, now am in 'real' trouble lol :)))   
      
   i.e. have just been invited to do some kinda 'video-interview' for some   
   dreaming site with robert waggoner re the WILDs method have written about   
   and also about WILDing in general?   
      
   have been assured, by him, that it'll all be done very professionally and   
   edited accordingly to make it look professional etc etc, but damn i don't   
   really wanna do it even though it would likely be good publicity for the   
   book and for the method itself??   
      
   i.e., as a very 'private' person there are currently no photos or images   
   of me whatsoever in circulation, nada at all, not even on my facebook   
   page, the website, back of the book cover or anywhere coz that's what am   
   comfortable with, plus the method have written isn't about 'me' and only   
   about the discovery itself, it being quite a large + conscious sacrifice   
   on my part (coz i didn't wanna do it) to even having my real name   
   associated with it and publicly bandied about, something that has indeed   
   been difficult (because the world is full of assholes) but which i   
   considered an inevitable price to be paid for going public with it...   
      
   i mean, by all means buy the book and/or watch the videos and learn how to   
   do it no problem, but leave 'me' out of it? coz am just the humble   
   reporter here, someone who literally 'fell-over' WILDS and not part of   
   some kinda 'personality' show (or cult heh) that the world typically tends   
   to turn everything into?? fuck that!   
      
   so i don't think am gonna do it? i guess if it was maybe for some big tv   
   morning breakfast show or whatever (oprah lol) along those lines, i might   
   have considered the 'cost' involved (to my private life) as being maybe   
   worth it to bring it all to some kinda vastly new public audience (going   
   mainstream with it would constitute a huge leap perhaps requiring the   
   ultimate sacrifice) whereas this particular interview would more than   
   likely only be shared amongst the current lucid dreaming community   
   itself...   
      
   which would still be good publicity... but which also makes me sweat at   
   just the very idea of my ugly mug being plastered all over the place haha   
   :)))   
      
   i mean, i WANT people to know about WILDs because i honestly think it'd be   
   good for 'em AND for the world too or i wouldn't have even bothered doin'   
   it, but at what cost to myself???   
      
   so, am sorry folks, but it's gots to be only written and, at best, radio   
   interviews, ok? even though it bums me a bit to perhaps miss-out on some   
   free publicity for the technique...   
      
   it's only the work itself that's of any actual importance here, it's not   
   about me and/or who i personally am??   
      
   that said, and only for the record: i might then just leave some video   
   interview to be discovered posthumously haha ;)
