  • Thanks for your inspirational post here, "THE GOD GIVEN COMPULSION TO WRITE." I assure you that your posts are read. As you may or may not know, the nature of the Internet and blogs in general is one of selfishness of the reader. We read and read and may find ...

  • Marcus, just read your post about "poor communicators"....like the guy who asks questions only to begun a debate, or only to express their views, and then shouts louder and louder. I agree totally with your viewpoint. I usually like to remind them that Hitler was famous for shouting down others ...

  • Eric, I got your reply on Aug 3. Looks like that's something that's been weighing on your mind a lot and you had some steam to let out on it. Yeah it doesn't occur to many of us who've never been in prison that it can be so different state ...

  • Marcus, thanks for your reply. This is regarding your post about the shooting in Colorado. Obviously, horrible stuff. Yeah, there were some people who joke about it. Honestly I think unless you're ever attached in some way to a tragedy like that, you can find humor in almost anything. I ...

  • Man, I don't know if you would be able to, but you should write a book. This stuff is amazingly engrossing, entertaining, and like I've said before, you have a knack of completely keeping in touch with how "the average guy" would react to these situations. Of course, I'm sure ...

  • Eric, thanks for your response. Why did you spend the last month of your sentence in confinement? I assume you know that I won't mind if you want to keep that private. Also, how has prison been different from county jail? If you could choose one to stay at, which ...

  • Hey Eric, John again. Its Feb 9th. Just happened to come back to the BTB site and re-read your first day story/recap. Still fascinating. I hope your situation is a bit better these days. I know I read in one of your recent blog posts how things changed a bit ...
    on See How Simple That Was? by Eric Wilkes Feb. 9, 2018
  • Eric, you asked if I minded you using my quotes -- not at all, of course. I saw that on your profile page before I wrote you recently and was glad to see it. And in case you didn't know, there are many other people in prison who write on ...
