Well, today I wrote you a letter. My guess is that you will have it around the 11th or the 12th of April. So later on you tell me!
I didn't tell you yet my youngest daughter has 2 kids: a boy of 4 (Adric) and a girl that is born on the States and her name is Claire. :-))) I do visit them once and a while evenso my friend, George. He is in a jail in Illinois.
Lately coming home from America, I won a price: Creative Literature, and poetry. Writing poetry isn't easy... Now i've to make an essay with the theme: Tango. That's exactly what I am going to do now. It's evening here.
I see by the 8th of April you will receive those mails. I wonder if you get visits or letters from a penpal or so? Do you have family members with whom you are still in touch? Hope so.
Le me tell a little from my life. We have two daughters: one of 32 and one of 34. The youngest lives in California, for a while. It is possible that she returns home now; after living there for 3 years.The couple has 2 kids: a boy of 4 (Adric) and a girl that is born there, she is 2 and her name is Claire.
My older daughter lived a few years in Barcelona (Spain) and they just bought a house in Brussels, they aren't married.
I am divorced for 5 yrs now- we remain good friends- and my friend is an american; he is in jail. But in July he can be free? I wait for that day!
all the best, David! I hope we become good friends!:-)
Hello George my dearest, did you receive some responses on your blog? I hope so! I had seen TTall's blog in the beginning, .. but it is gone, wonder why?
Are you working already with Jessica around your case?
John told me your dad is doing well,he walks with a cane and can go home pretty soon.
Can you give me an answer by blog, love? Sometimes it's faster this way, especially if the time is near the day they issue it to you! Like it will be this Monday, 8th. More rapid than a letter! ;-)))) Take care and know I care! xxxx from your sweetie
I remember the pictures and I smile. I fell in love with the most beautiful man in the world. I fell in love with the handwriting and all the phone calls and the deep voice. I am sure many more women did the same. You are awesome and I really am saddened to know that you have spent so much of your young life behind bars. But you are in my heart and will always be. I was telling a friend about you just now and showed her those pictures. I also found more information about you on the Mugshot website. I now have a better picture of who you are and the period of incaceration that is forthcoming. But you will always be in my heart; for I believe each one of us who have corresponded with you hold a place in your heart. Though you may have a significant other, our spirits will always be a part of you. Love You, Ellen
Hello again Nate. I read this letter you wrote a few times and I have to say... You actually seem like a good person. I see that you have done wrong, a few times, but realize that and are sincere in your apologies. I really was expecting to read some crap like "blah blah blah, it's not my fault.. blah blah blah the system is corrupt and I didn't do anything that deserves this punishment blah blah blah"
I know it sounds kinda like a stupid question, but it's something that I was thinking about. Do you think that if you would have stayed with the church and not left that life yiubwere trying to live, that you wouldnt be in this life you have now? I go to church and I feel as if it really doesn't do much anyway and people are pretty judgemental if you don't do things the way they'd do it. Being a recovered addict I get lots of sympathy "aw's" and "praise the lord you're better now" I really hate it. (got off topic)
I sit and think about chocies I've made... One second choices.. impulse decisions. And wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't have made them. These thoughts plague me sometimes. Granted, I've never killed anyone... Or been in jail, but I've made some bad choices. I think everyone has really... I don't know where I'm going with this. My mind runs wild sometimes.
Anyway. What I wanted to really say is thank you for stating what happened that got you in the place you are now. Thanks for saying it in a non angry way and full of clarity.
I think if you would have found something proving he was a sicko... I'd agree. No pity. At all. Pedophiles are the worst and don't feel there is a place for them on this earth. There I go again, off topic. Lol
Randy, I want you to know,you are my friend, and I respect you, I respect any choice you make. Please believe me, my reason for writing to you about God is for me not you, I want to believe again, I want something to hold onto, unfortunately over the years things have happened that makes me question my faith, and I could tell in your writings that you believe very strongly I respect that and was hoping you could enlighten me, and help me to see why you believe there is a God, Many times I have done the same thing that you did, I asked God for a sign,anything, and I would be his,but no response ever came, I am one of those people that has to be shown it's real, I'm not following anybody, God should know this about me, and make me one of his soldiers,Randy I could keep going,but I think you understand me, just wanted to make sure you didn't think I didn't support your choice, if it wasn't you I would have never asked someone else about God, I respect what you think,I know you're smart, and if you got something good I want it, typical human I want what you got.Ha! Your Friend
Hello Jason, I was wondering if you can talk in a dayroom with people. Perhaps you've some friends? Can you read books? What kind of books do you like? Can you do a kind of sport?
My letter will be posted on the fourth of April, ok?
I hope you get a lot of mail on your blog, Jason! Sharing things, as you've said. ;-)
We will become good friends. Kind greetings from Rita
I am more than happy to finally be rid of self and learning the very thing you have just delivered in one of the best letters I have read in some time. I come to simply say I apologize for my years of discord and pray you will begin direct communication with me soon. Your little brother Vandy V. Harris Jr. 6754 S. Cornell Unit 3N Chicago, IL. 60649
I don't know from what associations the hippopotamus got onto the chessboard, but although the spectators were convinced that I was continuing to study the position, I, despite my humanitarian education, was trying at this time to work out: just how would you drag a hippopotamus out of the marsh? I remember how jacks figured in my thoughts, as well as levers, helicopters, and even a rope ladder.
After a lengthy consideration I admitted defeat as an engineer, and thought spitefully: 'Well, let it drown!' And suddenly the hippopotamus disappeared going off the chessboard just as he had come on. Of his own accord! And straightaway the position did not appear to be so complicated. Now I somehow realized that it was not possible to calculate all the variations, and that the knight sacrifice was, by its very nature, purely intuitive. And since it promised an interesting game, I could not refrain from making it.
And the following day, it was with pleasure that I read in the paper how Mikhail Tal, after carefully thinking over the position for 40 minutes, made an accurately calculated piece sacrifice…"
Use Lateral Thinking in Chess like the sword Alexander used to cut the proverbial Gordian Knot. Lateral Thinking, like chess itself, is not mastered in a day, but then nothing worthwhile ever is. Hopefully this article has served as "a finger pointing to the moon" of Creativity. (Speaking of the moon, did you check your horoscope today? You should because some players swear that even a knowledge of Astrology helps their chess.) Lateral thinking is a helpful tool to anyone seeking to improve their Chess.
Try it.
