Hello everybody!

I'd like to ask everyone that has some of my artwork, especially any of my paintings, to please send me a copy of it so I can post it here on my blog. A photo is fine of course. There's been so much over the years that I've sent out that I've forgotten about, which is no surprise since my memory is half dead. I've had so many head injuries over the years, chemical and otherwise, that I'm surprised I remember ANYTHING. I'm sure there's dementia in my future but i try to stave it off by exercising my brain as much as possible. i do crossword puzzles everyday and read everything I can get my hands on. The library here is the best and biggest in the state. My Mom sends me books also. I thought of trying to list all the books I've read since I've been down but the list would definitely be too long. just listing the AUTHORS would cover several pages. I've read everything from westerns, fantasy, action/adventure, espionage, political, suspense, etc, etc. Also a lot of non-fiction: self help, religious writings, true crime...it's not like I haven't had time on my hands! There has not been one single day in the last dozen years that I haven't had a book that I was reading. Right now I'm reading a shit kicker (western) I don't read them very often but I just got in the mood for one. It's like movies you don't just watch ONE type of movie. Not unless you are seriously simple minded. (There's a lot of "those" in here). One type of book that I DO NOT read is cop books. I don't read any books that the protagonist is a cop. So many people in here, most actually, read cop books. I would never waste my time reading about some "hero" pig. That's an oxymoron in my eyes. And it's lazy writing. Like when an AUTHOR writes of a character that's an AUTHOR. I'm sure it's easier to write about what you know but DAMN! If an author can't think any deeper than that... bur then again sometimes you need something light to read, something that's easy to grasp. I have days when I'll read the same sentence over and over and just can't grasp it. Brain damage! I'd like to read more "conspiracy theory" stuff but since i don't have any internet access it's hard to find in here. Not that I believe necessarily most of that stuff, but it's entertaining and I like the fact that there CAN be different explanations for things other than the "official" story. And i like the fact that there are people that are willing (and able) to think for themselves, no matter that they sound loco. My ex wife Ellen Mackay (@ApeLeather.com) ordered me a subscription to "Paranoia Magazine" years ago and I kept every issue for several years until same asshole guard threw them away because they were "expired". (I'm not going to get started on these guards right now!) Anyone who feels up to it can always download some good conspiracy crap and send it to me. I can have anything FROM the internet, I just can't have access to a computer myself. Actually I can't have anything that shows any "frontal nudity" so keep that in mind why? Who knows?
It's not like I'm underage. They won't let us have any "frontal nudity" but we can have all the ASS shots we want! Maybe it's a conspiracy to turn us all gay! Actually I've heard that the nudity issue is because of these terrible female guards. They felt offended because we were allowed to have "adult" magazines. It created a "hostile work environment". Well, no shit! You work in a fuckin' prison, you fucking moron! It's hostile by design. Those lesbian man haters should NEVER be allowed to work in prison. It's a conflict of interest. They should be working in a WOMEN'S prison. Not here where they can get off by trying to make our lives miserable. Anyway... enough of that. There are actually a couple of VERY nice female guards here. But they are definitely the exception.

Prisons gather some of the worst people in the world and I'm talking about prisoners AND guards. There are also many great and wonderful people here and it's tragic that some of these people are in exile here. I'm including myself of course even tho' I may be a bit biased, but I am not as bad as the system makes me out to be. Everyone knows the DA lies. That's his job, but everyone who knows me knows I'm not the "criminal mastermind" that they call me to justify in their own mind giving me a 32 to life sentence for a 1/2" scratch. Granted, it was done w/a knife, but it was inadvertently done and it was in defense of my girlfriend who was being attacked AND this tiny scratch didn't even need stitches! It definitely doesn't justify a life sentence even if I MEANT to do that. Later I'll dedicate a posting to telling my side of the story and to the criminal tactics used against me to convict me. It's a LONG ugly story and I'm not up for the emotions it brings right now. Later.

So... on that note... I'm gone for now. 'Til next time.

PS: The drawing of the guillotine was not done by me except for the banner. I just like the drawing.
