Loud and Clear 7/19/09
Greetings! Well today I am 26 years old. Will I make it to 30? I had a visit with my sister yesterday. We had a good visit. It had been awhile since I last seen her, so was happy to get it. I know I got full. I thought I might get sick I ate so much. Though people can vouch that I can eat! ;) It's 1:02am. I don't officially turn 26 until 10:32am. I remember 10 years ago I was in TYC and on
my 16th birthday I ended up in lockup. A
series of fights took place in the vocational building. 2 L.F.T's
(LaFamilia Trece) ran up on 2 of my homeboys. I jumped in on one of
the ordeals. I still got problems to this day from that! The acting
coach for the rec department had come running down the hall and
football tackled me. His shoulder slammed right into my lower back.
A lovely birthday present by the staff of the Texas Youth
Commission. The way he took me down was an illegal restraint
technique. I could have filed on him. I didn't. Wasn't my style to
take up matters with paperwork. Plus the coach was generally an
alright guy. Well we was all in lock down kicking on the doors and
yelling all kinds of stuff and I screamed “hold up hold up”.
Everyone got quiet. I said “Damn todays my birthday!”. Someone
yelled “Bullshit!”. So I yelled “Naw Straight up! 7-19-83.”So
everyone started singing “happy birthday” and we all got to kickin
the door and yelling louder. This fly ass black chick that worked
lockup. She was straight out the ghetto! Mouth full of gold teeth.
She heard all that went on and came to my door. Smiled at me and
said “Boy, you just ain't right!” The look she gave me made me bust
out laughing. I just replied “yeah I hear that a lot!” Anyways, Just
a moment in history of my chaotic life and I thought I would share
with all.
I think about the past a lot. Old memories
and such.
Randi let me know that an old friend of mine
had died. I have lost people before. But Clayton was someone I
really liked. Plus when I thought of going back to North Carolina it
was always to meet back up with Randi and him.
I have had pen pals trying to locate him
with computer searches and etc. since I been here. Nothing ever came
up.
It has a unique effect on you when you
actively search for someone only to find out they are dead. It's
like “damn, if I would have searched harder and sooner. Maybe things
would be different.”
I am sure that Randi experienced the same
thing when she found I was on death row. That's as close to death as
it gets I guess.
Onto other things. A funny story! ☺ I was laying in bed thinking about the time
period I was really bad on meth. This guy that stayed behind where
Amber lived. He was my moms age. Well I used to kick with him all
the time and get high. Really he is the one I truly shot up meth
with for the first time. I mean, I did with my older brother Dano
but it was just watered down trash. The shot that got me hooked was
with the other dude, Lane. Anyways. He made some up and we shot up.
He had to do it for me because I was scared of needles. (I sucked at
being a drug addict!) It was late at night. So there I am in the
yard staring at the stars, rushing out of my mind. All of a sudden
Lanes cat came running by me with Lane fast behind, chasing it. I
swear this cat was possessed!!! So I gave chase as well. Here we are
high as can be chasing a cat at 3am in the morning. Lane was down on
all fours and was acting like a dog. So I start laughing. The cat is
pacing back and forth like some wild tiger. It runs, Lane runs, I
run! Over the porch, up on top the camper, and around the yard. The
cat eventually runs up this big old oak tree. So theres Lane and I
looking up the tree. We of course HAD to climb the tree in the most
complicated manner. So I ran and got some rope and a climbing
harness. I'm the lightest so I get in the harness. We throw the
rope, hook it all up and up I go! Lane is acting as the counter
weight. So I get up there and re-loop the rope. Now sometime during
the process the cat climbed down the other side of the tree. I hear
Lane yell “Oh shit, the cat.” SO I managed to get out “Don't let...”
(I was meaning to say “don't let go of the rope!”) I only got to
“don't let..” And yep, you guessed it. He let go of the rope and ran
after the cat! So down I go bang, bam, boom! To the ground flat on
my back. Thankfully it had rained earlier and the ground was soft.
So there I am laying on the ground moaning. Lane walks up and
says”Damn, my bad. I seen the cat!” I tilt my head and theres the
cat licking his paw lookin at me. I looked at it and said, “stupid
ass cat.” I don't know if it was because I was high or what but I
swear that cat laughed at me! That kids, is why it is important to
just say “NO” to drugs!
I recently got a list from Miriam of all my
articles that are available. Seems several are lost. SO in the near
future I will have them posted. They are from when I wrote for
uncensored. I will have them posted in like a week or
two.
I as well found a good cheap publisher for
books. So I decided to go ahead and actually write the book. I got
lots of pages written up that I mean to have posted. I guess it is
best to just type it all up and do the book I been wanting to
do.
My d.v.d is complete. So I once again ask
for everyone to please order it. You can do so by going to my
website.
(Or the link on the myspace or facebook
pages.)
I truly do appreciate those that have
ordered it. Please drop me a line and let me know what you think.
Thanks!
Miriam-Polar bears don't sweat! Also don't
you know that the sea otter has the densest hair of any known
mammal? 130,000 hairs per square centimeter of skin! It traps the
air close to the body so they can stay warm. The air stays trapped
even under water! So if a guy ever tells you 'your hairier then a
sea otter' Thats not a good thing. ;) Haha! You got that Regina? ;)
ha!
Cyndi-Cool deal. I really look forward to
meeting you.
Alexandra-I am finally finishing up “Setting
of Silver”. I really enjoy it. I will write you about my thoughts on
it.
Dominique-Thanks sweetheart for all the work
put into the facebook.
To all-Have a good day. I leave as I
came.
