SO sorry for the delay. I don't have any good excuse for replying, life is just a challenge sometimes. It doesn't help that this website doesn't have a notification feature.
You're not wrong, I think speedy communication has done away with the way the internet used to be. I think blogging during 2018-2019 was kind of dead. But with COVID, people returned to it. There is currently a spike in people wanting to go back to the old internet, which was more like small blogs, rather than corporate websites. There's now a trend of people, especially in their 20s, trying to learn how to make their own websites and host them independently.
Anyway, I am going to go through and read the backlog of works I missed. I dont want to overwhelm the poor volunteers printing these out, so I won't comment on each one. Maybe I will put my thoughts on some past ones in a recent one. Don't worry though, I really do love memoirs. Doesn't matter how famous the person is either. Lot's of people only care about famous people's memoirs, but I'm more interested in what people have to say.
To answer your question: WizardMouse is just a combination of my older sisters nickname for me as a kid (mouse) and wizard is just because its cool. Ever heard of a lame wizard? Neither have I.
MAZE is a cool name. Do you have any of your artworks still? Would be cool to see.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
I am currently in university for my undergraduate degree in English, and writing lots of poetry. Nothing has made itself clearer in my life than poetry. Sending my love from the outside.
This would make a nice letter to the editor, I think - just tighten it up to the main points you've made here about media sensationalism deflecting the attention of the public from the real issues and clouding perception of the power grab that's being made by criminalizing bigger and bigger swathes of the populace. Very smart and well put, Dym! I agree, it's scary that people are not opening their eyes to the manipulation... I think we've been blinded by years of priming by the capitalist machine to hold our material possessions in higher regard than eachother. It's just stuff, folks! You can't take it with you. There are alternatives that are more fulfilling! The more I think about it, the more all this just seems like the dying grasps of western civilization as we've known it. How many will survive the repurcussions of not learning better before it's too late?
Hi Xzyzst, just wanted to say hi, I hope you had some good news from Pops in the meantime and maybe even had a first showing of a DVD? And that you are in good health, good spirits and good (sound mind) company. I started a new job and stopped another one, and autumn is here with colder temperatures and rain. Still have to have my first really awful wet and cold delivery ride night, I'm still lucky, knock on wood. Big hug, Jules
The above information was all I needed to find you on Connect Network.
You might have guessed by seeing my screen names that I am a preacher. Tonight as I sit thinking about Sunday's gospel, I see your message to me. The gospel is Jesus telling a story about a well-fed and wealthy man who must step over a poor and starving man, every time he leaves his home. This scripture burns a hole in my heart as you describe your work and the work of a Christ-like staff member at the prison.
Robert, I have been reading and writing here for years. Literally. But never have I been moved to action. I am not a wealthy man. I chose this path late in life and that came with consequences. But, that being said, I am moved to send you my 'widow's mite,' for the work you do. I wonder if anyone who will read my reply, might do the same?
In thirteen years, I have spoken to hundreds of offenders, and perhaps even thousands. You are the third one to do charity work for your brothers who live and die with you. If even one person reads this who acts like me, perhaps the work done by BTB has meaning beyond artistic expression, the airing of grievances, or pleas for attention. The line at the top of this post is the only information needed to send a donation to the aging prisoners of California's hospital prison. I will send a snail mail to you, Robert, with more thoughts.
