Ronnie - still following your posts. Please do me a favor and drop all the protests... yes i see your points on all you say... its only causing you more problems. Maybe life is better served for you in focusing on getting off this security stuff and back to visits.. can find someone out here who will visit and love you and care and you can focus on that... you can't beat them their at UCI and the time spent trying is time wasted... your blogs are great and when you Google your name there are alot of articles you have posted. Let UCI go - focus on Scott, the justice system, even reach out to young people who are on the same dead end road you were on... if Ms. Mahoney is even coming by to kindly advise you let it go - means she cares enough about you and has insight to what the stirring up is doing. I too am rebellious - i was in foster care and orpahnages and I know who limited it is and frustrating to be constrained by others. This is your life here n earth.... you cant change where you are NOW.. but you can change how you deal with it. Forget the guards - anyone who steals your cookies and candy is a joke. That was funny by the way. I mean a man does need his Jolly Ranches. :) It's all good. I mean not to say that your efforts to change things are useless - but perhaps focusing on you and finding someone to love an share your life are better spent. Keep on with articles etc. They are good. You have alot to offer a lady who is willing to love an inmate.... and essentially I think from what i read is what you need. Just sayen. Write a book... there is a fella there that has published 2 books about UCI on his own nickel - seek him out and see what you could do that readers would buy. Open your mind to that. And hey... i dont even have the answers for my life... so don't think I am a goddess sending you answers to your life. We are outsiders looking in is all. With love. K
