Hello world,

How has things been coming along for you? Just fine, I hope. As for myself, I'm doing just great. I'm sorry it has been a while since the last time that I posted a blog. I have been busy working on regaining my freedom and studying hard for my Blackstone Career Institute Paralegal Course that I am taking right now. I have to get myself in order so once I am released I will have a trade to fall back on. I choose "Paralegal" because there are a lot of good people stuck in prison that I have to help get out once I get myself out. I stay reading the law. I love reading case law because it allows me to learn from other people's mistakes.

Since I have been in here, reading has changed my life. I'm self educated. I'm an example that you don't have to attend college to be intelligent, because education is going. Reading has helped me find a part of me that I never knew I had. Some of the toughest dudes you will run into will tell you that within some of the hardest circumstances they freed themselves through reading. Since setting up this blog a few things have happened thus far. My attorney contacted me to let me know that our campaign is moving ahead splendidly, and hopefully I should be home soon.

You can read his letter along with a copy of the proposal that he drafted up for all of us non-violent drug offenders. This week is the last week that legislation will be in session. You can go to this web site: www.arkleg.state.ar.us to check to see what the "Legislative Summary" is for Retroactive Act 570. Besides waiting on a ruling on that, I'm just in here trying to remain the status of a role model inmate. All I can do is live by examples. Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't. I live what others teach.

If I was all the way French I would say: "Non, je ne regrette" which is French for, "I regret nothing." The only thing I regret is being with the wrong person @ the wrong time, around the wrong products. Well, I guess that's it for now. I will keep you all posted. Below is all of my contact info. If you would like to write me, that's fine also, because I will respond to all correspondence. I have no choice but to respond back to you if you are supporting my struggle and movement!

SHAK-G
