Dear Sir/Ma'am,

I am writing you this first letter of introduction to my profile to tell you more about who I am and what I am seeking. I am a California Third striker serving a 25 to life sentence for simple possession of a firearm. (No Commission of a Crime involved). I came to prison in 1996, it's been almost 15 years since this chapter of my life has started, do I have a lot to say? I have plenty to blog about from the state of the country to the sad conditions in the California Prison system, the economy, to the war in Iraq & Afghanistan, from a prisoner's perspective. Like it or leave it I'm a United States Citizen and I'm wasting away in prison, and let me tell you, it's f#$!ing lonely. I seriously want to be connected to the world at large and it's been unattainable until now. Someday I'll write a book about my life and awe the world with the crazy stuff that's happened to me in my life.

I have plenty to share so where are you at? I'm 46 years old of Hispanic and Native American descent and I need to connect. Is there anybody out there who wants to delve into the levels and experiences of my mind? I warn you, they will make you sad, they will shock you, they will make you laugh and cry, and above all they will expose to you a multifaceted human being that has worked these many years to transform himself into the upright man I am today, but before you get to know him you must get to know the beast I was before..... Are you up to it? You have my permission to blog this...... Feel free to write me or blog....

Please rush me some mail or blogs!

Thank you.

[Black-and-white full-body photo of Paul J. Martinez standing in front of an indiscernible background. He is still wearing a black tank-top, but now also a wristwatch, dark-colored shoes, and light-colored cap and long pants. His expression is somewhat hidden by his sunglasses, and he doesn't appear to have gotten his arm tattoos yet.]
