Allow me to (re)introduce myself; my name is...

Blessed afternoon to one and all; save Corruption Liaisons, aka the elected officials/representatives, of this seemingly leaderless country. GOD help us all.

On a lighter note: I just realized that I have not really promoted my first ever published book here just yet; nor have I broken down/conceded to make sure that my "fans" know and remember "the name." No time like the present; unless there be any kind of objections?

None? Amazing awesomeness; as well as swimmingly swell, if you'll pardon the alliterations.

Seriously though, how can I self-publish a memoir/personal war photography book without actually promoting it on my very own blog? "Does not compute."

Thankfully, a company that I recently partnered with (shoutout to AdvisoryCloud) gave me a patently and palpably poignant brief bio to use for such purposes. Full disclosure: I'm not entirely certain about whom to thank profusely for this CV (Curriculum Vitae); nor how they failed to mention the book in their version.

Regardless, nobody, nor any entity that I'm aware of, is infallible; save One. That being the case, I'm not even the slightest bit upset about it.

Second critique and final critique of my bio: I regret sincerely that they seemingly forgot to emphasize my military Service; my philanthropic endeavors; and my affinity for my fellow Grunts/Vets. Otherwise, an indubitably ideal primer on all matters Darrius Varnell Dickerson; if I may say so myself.

In closing, prior to my beginning the transcription, a few housekeeping notes: 1.) I made several relatively light and something slight (sic) edits to this particular project. 2.) I don't know how/why certain skills/expertises were emphasized over others.

And, 3.) Most of my light/slight edits will arguably be to the formatting so that this piece is consistent with my previous posts to this vivaciously vivid *Vocal* site/app. Without further ado; and here's to you, the reader(s):

Prayerfully, you gained something pertinent (re: useful) from this post. If so, then please think about considering a show of support; however you may see fit.

Additionally, I'm easily reachable via Twitter. That's for private and/or public convos on the works written by me, my fav writers, as well as my other influences too.

The link in my bio will "counterintuitively" have that unmistakable tab in its footer menu. Invariably, there's a tab in the very main menu; cyclically returning you to my profile on this unfathomably superb site for writers.

Shoutout to all Vocal's inventors/staff/readers/writers. "[Y'all] the real MVP."

Lastly, if you're in the market for an incredulously original article of clothing or such: There's copious amounts at the aforementioned link in bio. Please don't believe for a NY minute that I'll be even remotely unappreciative of any all who "look out for the cookout".

Peace; blessings; and much Love, even. *Salute*.
