Marcus- I will try and get a chance to look into the reviews on that book, see what all the readers are saying about it. Ill keep this ramblin' short since I already mentioned books in my long letter on its way to you also. (smile) Much Luv, take care! -CC
Since you've given me permission to freely "ramble" all I wish (smile) then ramble I shall do haha! Which I am sure you have seen by now. I do have my times where I dont do alot of writing at once but lately its not been that way, it kinda goes back and forth I guess. Id say not having written anything personal to anyone except through email and having always enjoyed having penpals in the past has something to do with it. I have had pen pals from around the world since I was 10 yrs old and my fam let me put an ad in a pre-teen celebrity lover magazine (haha- smile) called Tiger Beat. LOL. I did not think it would get published, but all of a sudden about a month and a half later, we started receiving all this mail in the box for me from other states, Australia, the UK, New Zealand, the Phillippines, etc. I was like, WoW! I kept in touch with some of these pen friends until we were adults, and even though Id say communication between at least 8 out of 10 left over from the early 1990s pen pal ad (smile) kinda tapered off when one of us went off to college/university or got married (some big change in one of our lives, whichever kind that may be but for me it was college and the year 2001 was insane) But then the internet got big, and soon by around mid-2000s, I could find anybody on it. Ive since looked up my old friend Nika from the Phillipines after almost 8 yrs of no contact, my very good friend Kath from New South wales, Australia who Ive kept in touch with the most (we sent christmas packages each year and have never missed a year since she responded to my penpal ad in 1994, even when it was too busy/crazy in our lives to write starting around late 1999, early 2000, weve sent holiday packages for now over a period of 18 long yrs!) and also found several from the other states here in the US as well. (smile) I even had a pen pal in WI from KauKauna? Do you know where that is? We wrote from 1994-1998 as well. OK gonna hit reply and send some more ramblin' your way! You asked for it, haha- (smile) Take care! -CC
Hey Marcus, whats happenin? I happened to ask you in my long letter about your novel(s) and if you had been working on them much, Im glad to know you have gotten Part One completed. I also mentioned a few ideas for them in my letter to you, see what you think, about what you plan to do. I just got on here today (BTBs website) Aug 18th its about 6:54 am and Ive been awake for a few hours just bored and wasting time. I figured dropping you a reply to any of your latest blogs since it will be printed/mailed to you by Monday Aug 20th (yay! you are gonna be overloaded with mail lol- smile) would be better than just wastin time around the house before the sun even came up. And of course, I enjoy each entry you write on here. <3 <---a heart sideways (smile) What is so funny is how I had not came back here and read this entry by you, but yet wrote in my letter about quite a few issues you mentioned in your post. Youll see. Keep responding through my postal address and if you respond via BTB's site from Aug 26- last day of August then Ill receive each one of them via email....Instead of waiting to read my mail/get caught up when back home. Since I leave on the 25th/return between the 1st and 2nd of September, Id say anytime after the 26th if you mail something you really want me to see during that time, then you can if you want to, simply respond on here even though Ill be keeping in touch with you thru mail as usual with my letters (smile- long too haha) anyway. Its just a second option if you wanna reach me and have me read it that second on my netbook! Otherwise, mail as much as you want to the house Ill get it when I return, that is fine too! My birthday is the 1st and I thought there would be no better gift for me that a much needed break from everything around here, and I intend on using that 5-7days to think of alot of things, clear my thoughts, free my mind regarding so much clutter goin on up there, and all of that. I really want to come back feeling alot of weight lifted off of my shoulders and come to terms with alot of issues that I have been putting on the back burner for way too long, way way too long! <3 Much Luv and if you ever need me to type anything let me know, I have the time. <3 Other than that, my letter mentions the other issues in your post here I believe. (smile) How much is it for you to get a typewriter there or are you able to? I know when my Uncle was down we had to pay over 125 bucks for the smallest TV set you could imagine, in black and white, and it was a see-through one so nobody could alter it. (smile) He came home and brought it with him, still has it to this day, its the one thing he didnt leave for one of his friends there when he got free. He says because the small amount of fam he (and I) do have showed so much love in putting that money together to get it for him and it made time so much easier to do. -C.C.
I'm sure I speak for MANY of the readers here when I say that we thank YOU as well for sharing your thoughts from the inside, of how things are along with how different life is in such a place. There is so much that people do not know about where you are, and Im glad that I found this site because I find that it helps educate people the most on that- because it comes straight from those who are there enduring it, doing their time, trying to keep their minds in check too. You are right about those who do read, and only respond here and there. That is common at many blogsites. At least at this one there is always something new to be expected, where on others sometimes there are weeks/months in between updates being posted. (Thanks to BTB for that, even though I only came across this site around a month ago I have read over 350 plus pages and found it to be quite unique compared to so many others I had been reading). And of course, I found the blog of Marcus which I am thankful for, as we are both able to add a little light to one anothers lives when the darkness becomes a tad bit too much to take at times. (smile) I have mailed both your letters/photos Marcus they are officially on their way as of yesterday Aug 17, 2012. I hope you like them for now, and know the others will follow soon before I leave for around a week between the 25th until around Sept 2nd or so. Ill still be sending you some mail along with some postcards during my travels though, since I am always wishing you the best each day. Im also going to leave your photos (2 other sets, etc) ready to go out if they have not been sent by then (I dont see why they should not be by the 25th though but life is crazy and unexpectant like that!) and even if they have gotten to you by the 25th of August, all three sets of them, Ill make sure to put some more together to be mailed to you by my fam while I am away plus will send a postcard from each state I drive through on the way to my destination if possible. :) (smile) Take care and I look forward to you receiving my long awaited letter (11 pages haha) and ton of photos that I still have more of to send! Much Luv, Always! -C.C.
I'd like to know more about you/your situation/your case. Google doesn't provide me any data on you. Could you provide us with the name used in your court documents so I can look up the case? Thank you.
Happy belated Birthday baby. Being behind bars is no way to celebrate a Birthday but yet still its a blessing cuz ur still alive! God bless u brother trotter! I support u and believe in u!
I'd like to pose a question those following to Mr trotters story. How many believe he deserves another chance at freedom? How many think he has served more than enough time for his crimes? Do u believe he's rehabilitated enough to be allowed bck in the world?
I believe this man deserves a fair chance and I'd like to help him in his plea to regain his freedom. How many do I have with me??
Hubert Smith murdered my father. He deserves the punishment he is receiving. On that day, in February, 1978, he prowled the streets...a predator looking for a victim. He told his co-defendants he felt like killing someone. My father was out helping people who were running out of heating oil. Hubert Smith put a gun to the head of my father and pulled the trigger. His sentence will never be commuted---he will live in hell--until the day he dies. On that day.....justice will be served.
As it is so often many cases in our so called justice system are won by identification by a supposedly accurate witness, who later turn out to be not accurate at all. Eye witness testimony should be taken with a grain of salt and a lie detector test. i did a research paper on the innocence project for my criminal justice class and was horrified by what i found. It amazes me that we as americans have forgotten the true meaning of life liberty and justice for all the symbolizing statement in which this country was founded we are now a country of poor life, some liberty and justice for some depending on how we feel that day.
