Your friend Tom -- the one who was always running a con. Didn't he have a girlfriend from Texas who'd visit him every now and then? How come she didn't get caught up in that helicopter escape deal?
I've been thinking this afternoon about how very different people's individual perspectives must be of their interaction on this site. Your window is unfortunately very narrow and you only know of what you post, and only see the comments left for you. My perspective is much more colorful as I can see posts from all bloggers, and the comments left for them, and often times, very similar messages are conveyed on both sides.
It saddens me that, because of the negative comments that you seem to overwhelmingly attract, your experience here may be very different to many of us. Yet that hasn't deterred you from blogging. Which is encouraging.
I was also thinking that if you and your fellow prisoners could see each others blogs and become more aware of each others inner-most thoughts, learn of each others hopes & dreams (for themselves & their loved ones), I think you would all realize you had more in common than what may be obvious in that environment.
It's a shame that you don't get the full experience from this site as we do. I think just to see your own thoughts reflected in others in your situation, could serve as an important moral support.
I often read about how you are required to act within that environment is very different to the people each of you really are, or want to be. I would love it if you could all begin to know each other, as we have come to know you here. But sadly I know that's not the reality. The masks you're required to wear there will keep your perspectives of each other worlds apart from ours.
"to get your prozac BACK"? Didn´t you get any for some time?
As far as I know, Prozac is a medicine which its users urgently depend on. At least that´s what I understood from the book "Prozac Nation" by Elizabeth Wurtzel.... Or am I wrong?
Well for some reason I decided to Google your name and I came across this site. I have written you several letters and will try to continue to write several each week. Your family is in my prayers and I try and send Kattie a text message every now and then. You will be hearing from me soon, I just sent a couple letters in the mail and I have one more to send off today (feb 7th).
Quite unusual. The "holier than thou"-number with reference to death penalty proponents, I mean.
That´s usual what the proponents accuse us opponents of - acting as we were "holier than them". ;-)
Jesus would have to show up to restore your faith? Sorry, but I don´t assume he´ll allow you to "blackmail" him that way. ;-) So I suppose you´ll simply have to stay atheist, won´t you? (And not knowing what you miss.)
I would have to agree with your words. The personal attacks here are getting a little beyond a joke. I personally apologize for the small mindedness that is becoming all too frequent here and I assure you it is a minority that appears to come here to personally attack others. I have been ridiculed numerous times myself(on the blogs of others) for leaving comments for you, which makes me reluctant to comment again. And that's not ok! You're not aware of this but even other bloggers are defending you from these cyberbullies in their blogs now (which is kind of sweet).
I don't read a lot of what you post I must admit, I'm usually in a hurry & your posts are usually very wordy ;) but I respect your right to share what's on your mind without having to suffer personal attacks, the same way I should be able to comment without reprisal.
I do not know what it is like to live with bipolar disorder but I have lived with severe mental illness for 12 years. I think the treatment you have suffered is truly awful and wish you the very best with your lawsuits. I hope that some day you may actually get help with your condition which will enable you to live a more meaningful life.
That last paragraph was so touching. When I first came to this site it was for an educational purpose, as you know, but the connections I made here became important to me, so I stuck around, enjoying the company. What I had hoped for from that point was that perhaps just being a friend would eventually be enough to make a difference... Even just a very small difference in someone's life and your words here show me that is very possible. I'm astounded at how quickly that's happened. Thank you for showing me the value in just being a friend.
