Journal Entry for September 1, 2009
Look, I figure life is a gift, and I don't intend on wasting it. You never know …
As a "ex-con" I truly understand the importance of getting involved in the lives of what many may consider to be disposable. After serving 3 years in a Texas penitentiary I lost contact with most of my family and friends. Upon release, I attempted to re-establish relationships, but the damage had been done. In the years since my release, I have been working on a piece to explain my experiences as an American prisoner, and in doing so I've come to recognize a desire to "give back".

Just dropping by to see if you moved yet?
have'nt read anything in your journal for a while...let us know how things are for you...in the meantime, here's a hug to let you know we're still here (your friends on DS)
Drop a line when you get settled in!
Here's my hug for you! Nothing should divide us We who inheit the earth who cheer the new moon peaking through the womb. Who admires the green leaves of summer, turning to lustorious red and yellows. Who watch them fall to the ground cold, brown and stiff. We who give birth to new life who are exhilarted by the rising sun. Who are romanced by the sun setting who dreams to the floating clouds... We who have a passing mark on the future of the world. Must have the same heart must have compassion for one another must have respect for one another must understand that though we have differences. We all want the same things nothing should divide us. Something I thought you would oxoxoxoxoxoo
Be Blessed!
I would argue that attempting to tell my story using 500 characters would be a neat trick...but at least it's a start.
My story isn't much different from most of the other dead-beat dads, except perhaps that I have had more time to contemplate my decisions and and learn to hate myself a little more.
