Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I am sorry to hear about your parents, must have been hard but I am glad that you have been so positive considering your currant situation. It is great to know that there is still some kind of humanity left in the world with the courage and understanding of how life true is. Even though it took putting you behind bars to figure it out, but life is full of lesson and we all learn them differently and in our own time. Stay positive James!
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. It seems pretty rough in there, but it's your story is very interesting. I hope you've made up with Bear.
Thanks so much for the reply! Do they let you read whatever you want? If so, try checking out the Classical and medieval philosophers, if you haven't already, like Aristotle and Aquinas. The text is very difficult, but once it is conquered, you gain so much insight into the world. I always like to read philosophy when I can, because it can help grow my mind, and because it makes me feel as if I were actually conversing with figures from hundreds of years ago. Also, where is your book? I would love to read it! Is it somewhere on your BtB blog page? Can't wait to hear back! Best, Calhoun25
Thanks so much for the reply! I do like to write in my free time, and at least read literary works from others. I was browsing through (BTB has so many interesting pieces), and this piece happened to catch my eye. How long have you been writing for? Also, do you have influences on your poetry (heros you look up to, &c.), or is it all self-inspired? Can't wait to hear back! -Calhoun25 P.S. If you can, try reading up on the Classical and medieval philosophers, if you haven't already, like Aristotle and Aquinas. They are very difficult reads, but after conquering and understanding them, you can get a lot out of it, and perhaps more inspiration for poetry. I recently read a couple of their works; phew! what a work out for the mind, particularly because the translations are difficult to understand without reading closely.
Thank you so much for your blog post. Our society should treat all with compassion - and allow people who may have harmed another to set those harms right rather than lock them away and have them suffer. It doesn't make any sense!
I am far from CA but hope you can feel the warm energy vibes I am sending your way.

I'm sorry no one wished you a happy birthday. I'm sure they haven't forgotten about you.
