afternoon mrs tenzintenzin

just got ur letter yesterday nov 29
the fact that u in the UK shocked n wowed me at the same time. who knew my voice would carry me across the 7 seas! pray 1 day i will b graced 2 travel 2 other countries in person . still looking into that part... if n when im cleared hello africa! maybe i can take a pic ridin a lion or next 2 1 or least walkin 2 of em. speakin of lions weeks ago I was watching nature n 4 whatever reason god pointed out 2 me how they world the oposite of ours ie the males have long hair n the females have short hair. somehow i know the insight has deep spiritual connotations. jesus is the lion of the tribe of judah!

thanks 4 bein chipper despite bein in a hospital bed. r u better now. jesus can fix it, he is the great physician
trust me nething u feel comfortable sharin wont bore me, no matter how small the details . rather hear bout the details of life than the things i have 2 here in here like the n-word,b-word,threats of violence.people rappin bout killin people, arguments bout what inner city is the hardest/has the most murders/most likely 2 get u killed
course boys from chi-raq think they all that ouch!

this will have more parts

smile it will get better

happy sunshine

it's football day in this enviroment so the green bay packers on every tv...cept mines. like football but i prefer 2 watch the dallas cowboys though they not playin that well as of late..

well i understand ur perspective on kris bein the matriarch of the kardashian family n the outrageousness regarding her purse prices. i feel the same though i wasnt always of this mentality, the change is truly gods fault :)
so heres y i used 2 worship $ n possessions...
grew up believing that $ n stuff defined u as well as who u dated. that being the case i penned me an american dream that included buyin my moms a house. 2 do so i planned 2 ba dr, but over time this dream was corroded in favor of fast $. meanwhile i found myself by buyin designer brands i could barely aford. lord knows i'd spend my whole kfc check $220-ish on a $145 pair of nikes,matchin shoes strings ,socks,t-shirt, pants,etc... this got kids 2 pick on me less in got me new 'friends" n the attention of girls (what boy in high school doesnt want that) so it is 2day the american dream makes us live nighmares n have mis-priorities even i jail, men in here with kids spend more money on food than they kids...

more 2 come..

so as i was sayin...

people follow the kardashians etc n buy what they buy /wear/create so as 2 feel a part of some thing. by wearin what they wear etc it allows u 2 feel a parta somethin. allows u 2 identify as 1 of them. same as with sports teams. people use the verbage"WE lost ...WE won... WE sould trade/get ...WE goin 2 the big game... some will even fight u attack u or worse 4 makin fun/talkin baad bout their team, some r even like this overseas with soccer.

4 me $ is better spent on people. my perspective is that $ dies. as such i plan 2 use its perishableness 2 impact lives 4 eternity. like feedin n clothin the needy. n usin $ 2 self publish books n stuff that tell people bout jesus. only got 4 outfits in here (4 the last 23yrs) so i know now that life aint bout havin the most clothes, though i am a clothin designer, in the end geting $ 2 design clothes will help me reach those in my commmunity. its a robin hood theory of sorts. i can sell design 3 big brand comps then use the $ 2 bless the poor who could never afford 2 wear gucci, prada,jordan, hermes,etc. god will bless me 2 bless others. amen.

thanks 4 the history lesson on slavery n prison labor. knew it was a connection but 4got exactly what it was. yet we see how slavery got legislated where exons r the new slaves, specially in the south

feel u on datin. i been through the rigoamoro plenty of 1-sided relationships. or it was lop sided 1 way or the other, where one of us had feelings that weren't mutual. se now that i had been lookin 4 the wrong thing in relationship not necessarily character but a pretty face/body not necessary beauty on the inside. sorry i was a child once.

now i understand /agree with arranged marriages of sorts. not forced shotgun wedings, but more hy this person is spiritually compatible with me. i believe now in "ebb n flow"/chemistry special in person
congrats on over 20yrs of marriage i been married 2 prison that long :(

hey check out a book the 5 love Languages

well the generational curse thats on american blacks is still alive n well, we still regarded as fun.entertainin,n low down.
believe the violent dangerous volatile narrative came into play after slavery was eradicated mind u according to boks/movies at some point masters pitted slaves against each other 4 sport. yet they weren't considered violent when they were hurtin each other at the behest of their owners, eventually things got flipped 2 kinda say "heres y we need slavery" we also know there were laws designed 2 keep blacks from freedom/still in slavery. this correlations is still ingrained into the psyche of prison. prison emasculates u/makes u dependent on others which helps foster recidivism as some men fel more comfortable knowin their needs r met. yikes, some come back cause they caught in the notion that life is about $.sexxx,n material things even at the risk of they fredom. i aint gone b able 2 do it. god showed me 2 work on bein independent /depend on him, amen. so i plan 2 have my own business n work from home. u dont have 2 hire me - i'll make my own job. amen, already gettin prepared. seen a show called "start up" that show cased a home based cross stitching business that makes $300,000 a year doin family portraits n sellin books

sounds like a plan
