Hello "you"!,

Thank you for visiting my "blog/site"! As for myself, my name "is Angel"—it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm an "inmate" at the "Cali state prison", don't worry though—not only am I a "man" who is truly changing for the "better"; but to assure you, none of my "crimes" involve "children", "women", or any other "funny" stuff!. But being "honest" with you, I did live a "fast", "compelling", but "unique" and "thrilling" life! I can "honestly" tell you that my "life" has been a "roller-coaster" of a ride—"never" a dull moment!, even on this road to "righteousness"!

[in smaller text, at the end of the previous paragraph:]
SO "FAST" AND "THRILLING", WITH "ALL" THAT IN BETWEEN—THAT ENDED UP IN "PRISON"!!
[small drawing of a disgruntled face with eyes closed behind bars, with motion lines scooting toward the right of the page]
[also in small text:]
(WHAT A "WAKE-UP" CALL!!).....

For "example"—"believe" it or not, right now I'm being warehoused in "AD Seg/ASU" [text in parenthesis is smaller] (WHICH SOME INMATES CALL IT THE "HOLE"!), just to see what the "guards" are going to do with me?; I'm not even in here for any type of "disciplinary" reason!, but everything like a "waiting game" when it comes to "benefitting" an "inmate" through!. People think "prison" is "bad" already, but the "hole" is worse!. [small drawing of a tight-lipped, angry face]

[in smaller text, at the end of the previous paragraph:]
WOW! AN "INMATE" IN "PRISON" WITHIN A "PRISON"—IMAGINE THAT!!.....

Now that brings me to you!—See, "prison" can be a "lonely" place too; and being a "man" with a "release date"; it also isn't the "best" place to practice your "communication skills", or to meet a "friend"!. So I've decided to open this "site", be "straight-up", and reach "truly" out to "you"!. However, I have no "experience" in "blogging"—but I will "not" be discouraged!; So whatever "advice" you could "help" me with?, it would be "HIGHLY APPRECIATED"!! I'm also willing to "talk" about "anything" you could think of?, would like to "share" with me?, or I am even a great "listener"?. "Truly" feel free to address "anything"?? [small drawing of a smiling face with a hand up to a large ear]

[in smaller text, at the end of the previous paragraph:]
"SERIOUSLY"—IRRESPECTIVE, I'M ALL "EAR"!!.....

Oh!—there's a "warning" though!!; I could only respond through my "blog", or by "snail mail"!, and also to let you know—my "emails" are through a "3rd party"; we are not "internet" accessible in "prison"!—I "truly" apologize!; but irrespective, I will "respond" to "you"!! [small drawing of a winking face]

[in smaller text, at the end of the previous paragraph:]
"FORGIVE" THE WAIT TOO—THE "MAILMAN" IS A "COP"! WHAT A "HICCUP"!!.....

So for now, and without a "clue" to what I'm doing—I must "sign off" for now, but definitely "not" forever!. However, I do wish all of you "well"!; many "blessings" to us all—and I do "promise" to "blog" soon! Thank you again!!.....
