I finished the transcription for your post. I am personally agnostic. I have always had these thoughts about the people who share my beliefs and try to push their thoughts onto others, whilst complaining about religious people doing the same. This was incredibly thought provoking. Thank you for writing!
Hi T, its Missy... Was thinking about u and did a search, sooo here I am. Miss u baby. All is well. Let us know when you are getting out. Would love to see you again.
ARR!! Avast me matey! I finished transcribin' yar blog post on me electric journalin' device. Ye be in luck, for I sailed' with the swashbucklin' US Pirates in my day.
Sorry, I'm not imaginative enough right now to keep up the pirate voice. The USPP is just getting started right now. They have candidates for city council races in NY and WA, but that's it. There's no organized state party in PA, but if you're really serious about this, I could maybe put you in touch with the NYPP. Sadly, their organization is so focused on online activism that I can't find a snail mail address for you to write to :(
Hi, I just wanted to let you know, a heart murmur is caused by extra blood flow through the heart or defective heart valves. Some murmurs are innocent and others are dangerous. Are you generally in good health otherwise? If so, try not to worry too much and just take good care of your health...exercise and try to eat healthy (i know thats hard in prison but just try to avoid the worst, such as sugary stuff or fizzy drinks, and get as much as healthy foods as possible, such as vegetables, eggs, nuts and pure water.
I can't begin to understand what it is like in there but I am so grateful that you are willing to honestly share your experiences.
I am a musician that does occasional work in the prison systems. One of my lifetime goals is to bring a music curriculum to the entire national prison system. It seems impossible sometimes but I want to believe that it can offer people like yourself a reason to look forward.
The main idea is to have a number of instruments available to the incarcerated community (how this would work with security I have yet to figure out but I know it has ben successful in some prisons). Every 2 weeks there will be a group of professional musicians that will come teach lessons to each group of instruments. Additionally, there will be an ensemble (small orchestra, string quartet) for each of the musicians to play in and collaborate with their peers. Initially, I plan on using classical music as the main material but I worry that this might not resonate with everyone. Although, I do believe it to be some of the most expressive and heartfelt music in the world.
Do you think this is something that could help incarcerated people? What are your initial impressions? Am I so far removed from the people inside that I don't understand what you all really want/need? The last thing I want to do is begin a program that I believe in but doesn't actually address the needs of you all. Would anyone want to play classical music or would people people open-minded enough to explore different genres?
I'm laying it down heavy here but any thoughts you have would be very helpful. I noticed in your profile that you are a very artistic personality and I thought your insights could be invaluable.
