That's alright, pretty much everyone I have ever met has had that "Oh... that's actually your name?" moment. I don't even wait for people to ask for me to spell it out anymore :)
I tell you though, there aren't many Hammers running around, so it irks me to have that (apparent) scumbag sharing it. Seems like excessively bad luck.
We could spend inordinate amounts of time pouring over books and papers and listening to commentators of psychology, economics, religion, politics, and try to assimilate all that information, keeping up the current trends and insanity, and then put something down in writing for a few subscribers who are on the same page - while heading down a path of knowledge yet ultimate poverty and burnout.
OR
You do KLR Productions - have heaps of fun with surface level social commentary with cute cat and dog voice overs - have millions of subscribers, never burn out, make a stack of passive income and never have to be answering an ideologically complex question from a non-paying subscriber at 11pm at night.
The question of the ages. Yet no one now remembers "Kappa Lambda Rho Productions", who captured the attention of Greeks everywhere with their witty stage shows. They even diverted the odd sage or two on their way to the work.
I'll grab hold of that bit of encouragement Harrison.
Like my mum always used to say, "That cat video may have 3.6 million views, but it won't change someone's life like your article on hippocampal atrophy in chronic stress among the Southern Sudanese during the 2013-14 civil war."
... I think that's what she always used to say... or was it "Follow your passion." ... Can't remember... whatever it was I'm sure it resonates with what you just said.
I feel somewhat compelled to point out "NO RELATION."
Not even a distant branch of the family tree. Different tree, of a different species.
Oh, I get it now. LOL.
I feel somewhat abashed. I didn't even register the similarity of names when placing one story after the other.

Wasn’t there a pulp fiction series called Doc Hammer back around the 50’s? It’s tickling my brain….
I think so, yes. Also Mike Hammer, for detective fans.
I can often tell a bit about people by whether they say "Oh, like:
1: Mike Hammer (age 60's+)
2: MC? (age ~40)
3: Hammer Films? (Movie nerd, possibly Christopher Lee)
4: Mors Syphilitica? (Fan of obscure black death metal)
5: Armie Hammer? (Harrison K.)
Watch out, or I might start calling you Armie! ;)
Thank you! The old Rolodex in my head is problematic at times. Lol
The KLR productions videos made my morning.
All great reads, thanks for the suggestions.

Who's the smarter one?

Though I hear that even YT stars burn out.
Maybe there is meaning in the struggle.
