Making It My Business...

Good God where does time go?!? It's friggin June already & I go home in 7 months... BEST THING about parolling in January: I DON'T HAVE TO BUY HANUKAH OR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR ANYONE IN 2012! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!! WORST THING ABOUT that date: I will no longer be safe from the evil witch and her family...Oh you thought you could fool me, but you didn't.

Save that thought - I'll say what needs to be said another day. What we're here to discuss today is WHAT does one DO to re-invent oneself? I'm desperately trying to start that process but it's just me with some help from a couple of sources (THANKS Mom, THANKS PETE!) (Fuck the rest of you that I used to think were friends! ANDY IS IN PRISON? ANDY WHO? NEVER MET THE GUY!) Some things I've learned about beginning again:

If you aren't famous, you're fucked.
If you don't have a million dollars, you're fucked.
If you live in GAHL [swastika image] FOHRNYA [?], you're fucked.
If you do live in Hitler's 4th Reich and have to parole to LA, Riverside, Orange, Santa Clara, Alameda, or Contra Costa Counties - you're REALLY fucked.
If you're homeless, you're fucked.
If you're self employed, you're fucked.
If you're a man, you're fucked.
If you breathe air, you're fucked.
If you can parole out of Gahl [swastika image] fohrnya, Florida, Louisiana or N.Y., you ARE NOT AS FUCKED.
If you never have aspirations of finding gainful employment in any decent industry, you are not as fucked.
If you can successfully complete parole & leave the US for Latin America, you have a chance.

If you hit the lottery and can hire a 'dream team' and you WERE (mostly) innocent you have a chance.
If your prison had REAL Voc, College, Career Classes, you have a chance (NOT GAHL [swastika image] fohrnya)
If your state flag does not have the words CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC on it, you have a chance.
IF YOU think I'm lying, watch our state budget issues unfold June 30th 2012.
IF you're creative and spend more time bettering yourself, staying clean & sober, making a business plan and staying in contact with the real world - you have a better chance.

You get the idea, I think/hope ?!?

Me, I'm writing daily - got quite a few stories done & in the hopper - marketing soon. Wish me luck! I'm trying to get my resume updated, cover letters done, applications and letters of intent to halfway houses in CT, parole in CT etc.... hope it words - I've put A LOT of time into all this.

If anyone has any ideas/offers to help find my way to Milford - write me ASAP! I can use ALL the help and insight I can get!

Under the gun and worried!
Andy
