Why the name Kel Spencer??

Lennie (Kel Spencer) Bennett- Charles Darwin got credit for the phrase survival of the fittest. But, his assistant Herbert Spencer really came up with this theory. I believe that survival and success are attached to strength. However, there are times when the strong get overlooked, such as myself for the past few years. I'm on fire in the streets! My style is hot and you measure heat in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin. Kelvin gets over looked just as Herbert Spencer does but, not for too much longer. Kelvin Spencer... Kel Spencer
