- WHATEVER KEEPS THE INFORMATION FLOWING.

Just because it's not necessarily his, does not mean that it shouldn't be out there floating around, getting read.
Tim is not trying to "take credit" for it, Tim is trying to get people to read shit. Instead of being the dumb fucks that you watch we all were. "Taking credit" for it would mean he's obtaining financial benefits, which he is clearly not.

Just be glad he's not Sean Swain.
Trust me, I'm more likely to believe that if Tim is anything bad, he probably got that way After going prison.
So much for the redeeming & rehabilitative properties of the Massachusetts penal system, eh?

Wait til he gets out = the Man is a force for change, and these motherfuckers are going to wish they figured out a way to keep him.
They're trying.

Hi there, so glad to see that your eyes have now been opened to such a peaceful and god fearing existance now that you are being forced to remain behind bars. I cant help but wonder however that had you never been caught for the horrific life altering crimes you have committed that you would have been singing the same tune. I find it impossible to be able to take you seriously nor find any truth to the words that you write considering i know what you did to my loved one's family, as well as the ruin that your hate has left her family to become. It is relatively easy from your cell to talk the talk and to become born again into this newfound way of living, and i thank god every day that you will never see the light of a free day for as long as you are on this earth. You are still that same man who took the lives of women way before it was there rightful time, and nothing you say can change that. If only you were able to see all of the pain and destruction you have caused to the family of Amanda, maybe then you would righteously have a reason to be god fearing. Death row is a good place for you, although if it were up to me, you would have been dispatched from this earth in a similar method to that of which you have dealt. I pray that you one day the pain you have done to my loved ones will finally diminish, and that justice will take you off of the row and into the arms of your maker down below. Until then i will continue to consider the words you write as an amusement, as words that have no soul. When have lived your life doing work for the devil by your own choice, it means nothing to pretend to do work for god behind bars. Good luck to you.. as you will likely need it in the life after this one..

there is no wrong flower, no wrong emotion, no wrong thing.
we chose our gurus/beliefs and carnally cling to them.

Graffiti incident.
I said writing on top of others graffiti was same as trespassing.
you giggled and wrote on top of others graffiti anyway.. what are the odds the guys would show up two minutes later and teach you a lesson?

thanks buddy.
LOL
should i care now?
i gave less of a fuck about life than you did.
but at least i respected others boundaries.

boundaries being bulldozed isn't cool.. if they are your boundaries.. everyone realizes that.
and it became a game of who controls the most boundaries.. mentally and physically

it's a wonderful world.
Now is what YOU chose it to be.. knowing all the options included the one you're enjoying.
terrible life but you lived it anyway?
idts.. stop playing victim of universe, unseen forces or whatever

YOU are it.
as much a part of NOW as anyone or anything else.
no make excuses why you aren't. YOUR choice buddy.

Hey Troy,

I think your last piece about determination is a perfect gloss for the chess picture. We find ourselves in these difficult chess games, in which the opponent is none other than ourselves. At the same time, as you say, the key to our strength and victory is ALSO ourselves. We can, often at the same time, be our greatest enemies and allies. It's key to focus on our winning selves, and rely on that for determination. Afterwards are the spoils of winning! A spiritual growing for beating the evil and sadness in you. I think your honest admission about your heavy heart is brilliant. It's so natural for us to get down. Strength is not about whether we get down or not; it's about how we eventually conquer these feelings in the battle of "weakness versus strength". Let us know any other pondering on character you might have. Such is intellectually stimulating and spiritually invigorating. Take care.

Your upbringing reminds me of the various forms family (or lack of it) can take. I know some "families" are families in name only, even though parents and children live together in the same household. Conversely, there are some families that are shining examples of everything familial love can be, even though its individual members are living far apart. It's a lot about the effort we put into "being together" -- where the "being together" need not imply physical proximity. I think your letters are a striving toward "being together". I believe this is very admirable. I see what drives you comes from what you experienced with your father. He might have been telling the truth, but it can be difficult to prove without the hard evidence. You can think of yourself, I suppose, as collecting evidences of your love -- a case for genuine connection. This is why you use the word "prove". I think you are winning the custody case for your daughter's affection before the Court of God. Keep thinking and praying about her.

The case about the volleyball player is inspiring. I like to collect stories like these, to remind people that they can persevere. You might have heard about Charles Krauthammer. He is a neoconservative commentator, who writes columns and frequently goes on television shows. While a student at Harvard Medical, he jumped off a diving board in a bad way. He was left paralyzed from the waist down; he consequently uses a wheel chair. The fascinating thing is, I watched him growing up, and did not discover his injury until years later. He was always confident on air. You would have no reason to suppose he was sitting in a wheelchair. He did not let his injury stop him. President Franklin Roosevelt has a similar story with polio. You could not tell he was in a wheelchair while giving his speeches. One of the most admirable is Stephen Hawking -- his struggles, like FDR's, are very well known. On the other hand, there are many people who are physically fit, and yet mentally destroyed. They take their own lives so early. It's important to pray for our mental and spiritual strength, to enjoy the small things coming our way.

That's all I have for now. At the very least, this latest election cycle has been interesting. I hope it is keeping you occupied in productive thought. Let us know what you think about the 2016 presidential race, if you want to. Take care for now, and write back when you can.

I really enjoyed this piece. It's always fascinating when you look at a popular and thought provoking quote by a former leader and read the overall context from which the quote originated. You get a deeper meaning that is relevant to all human beings, the fact that we all have the right to protect ourselves because we all are worthy of life. This makes me think about Tupac's phrase "Thug Life". Many people use this phrase, but don't really know where it originated from, and the depth of what he was saying. His "Thug Life" meant "The hate that you give little infants fucks everyone." The hate that's taught to youth in the ghetto is only going to backfire and everyone will have to deal with it. This definitely relates to the Portrait of a Nigga song. I'm jumping all over the place in thought, but anyway, I heard this quote from someone, "No one can define you unless you give them the power to do so. If you don't know who you are, then anyone can make you believe that you're something that you're not." I think these are powerful words. Thanks again Xzyzst, for kickin' the knowledge.

Portrait of A Nigga (song)

I’ve been cast out
from your society
Right or Wrong
good or bad
I’m your enemy,
can’t fade the truth
And I don’t give a fuck
extermination youth

Black male suspect
Victim’s descriptions
got these demons fearing me
on a millimeter killin’ spree
Now you can cut your finger on the crease of my dickies
high as fuck
Only got my mind on my crew
“No Luv” bangin in my shit, on them thangs
A nigga do what I gotta do

I am your portrait of a Nigga
This is a portrait of A Nigga
You’re look’N at a portrait of A Nigga
You made me a portrait of A Nigga
