Just a Shout Out to my Friendly Bloggers

Here I am sitting here at work thinking of what to write and it just donned on me to just give a mere shout out to ya'll out there and hoping that everyone is doing great! I've been quite busy as for working and everything else that goes with doing time. However, I've been "Missing in Action" for quite some time, which has really been a roller coaster ride for me since my departure from the other prison.

The most important thing for me today is my focus on being released from prison. I am hoping that my case falls within the parameters of Proposition 57 and that I do get another opportunity at my freedom. I have been through a lot, I have hit rock bottom at one time during the early years of my incarceration, which I've learned so much and I've also realized that I had taken life for granted.

Now, whenever I'm given that opportunity at living life on the other side of these walls, you can bet your fanny that I'll be one productive and successful citizen of the community I am released to. As I had shared with all of you previously, my passion is to help the "troubled youths" of today's generation! I don't want to see them making all the bad choices and decisions I once made in my life.

There is so much that I desire to do for our troubled youths that, once I'm released from prison, I will be turning to many of the organizations who share the same desire as I do. One for sure is that of "Homeboy Industries" in East Los Angeles. Father Gregory Boyle is one awesome person who has the same passion as I have and we're on the same page when it comes down to helping people change their lifestyle. I am going to turn to celebrities as well. Just to name a couple: one of them will be Ellen DeGeneres and the other will be Steve Harvey, and several others that I've viewed on several television shows.

Therefore, if there is anyone out there who understands where my heart lays, please feel free to answer this blog and/or write me personally. I have so much to share with people that are like-minded and I believe if we all work together, we can make a huge difference in our communities!

I will patiently await your reply to this blog. Together, we can make a difference!

Season's Greets and Have a Prosperous New Year.
