Lots of strife out there in the world, yet we , in this county have our own strife and division... Never so clearly have free men in a free country fought so much!!! The world I grew up in, a world of morals and standards have been reduced to " a pile of whatever the fuck the heart desires..."
Lets take that word (desire) and break it down de-sire because that's what it feels like to me... as if G-D has saw fit to de-sire this once great nation as a punishment because, it choose to move away from it's core valves which of course was g-d, country, glory, our forefathers put fourth a great plan for this nation and it would of worked great had we not allowed a bunch of lawyers to tinker with the law of the land instead we allowed them to change, alter, and add to the amendments if you will. We have allowed foregone money into our Infastucture, Economy, if you please, which our fore fathers expressly for bid against. When I see a flag... my flag I pledge to it!!! Because I know what that flag stands for, and I know what sacrifices have been made for it through out history.. yet here we stand a Nation divided, have people out there truly become so godless in this country?
Homosexuality, unpatriotic people.. greed, lust, this nation has come to worship these things instead of g-d = core valves. Lets talk about right.. but only the rights which our fore fathers spoke... guns, right to vote, to practice your religion freely and without reprise, yet remember on this last one that the religions of our foundation was in fact judeo - Christan , that was what was recognized... if we don't wake up to our own blindness as a nation we will at some point have a civil war 2.
I am a convicted felon... yet never owned or used one for that matter So why was my rights as an American citizen taken from me? Even after I serve my time? Because we allowed lawyers to tinker with the laws of our fathers same with voting... I can't vote because I've been convicted? HELLO!! Still a born American citizen! Our fore fathers allowed a man of this great country to own a gun, vote, even military service after imprisonment to fight for county.... Why did that change? Lawyers changed it!!! Ever met an honest lawyer? thought not!
We need change now but not in the way you might think... both Republic and Democratic are one in the same now... now what we need is to bring back a nationalist party or even a federalist party get rid of all these crooks, Get a G-d fearing man in there, and men and women in senate and congress that are more g-d fearing than stealer's of the people's money.
What do you see? Where do you stand?
Do you love your country? Will You fight for it?
Will you fight for your people?
Who's right? Who's wrong? Check in let me know how you feel, and what you see?
Your opinion matters now.
That's it for now folks,and remember: A crazy man with a gun, is just that, weather it be the a gun, a truck, a car, a knife, a bomb.... it's NOT the object.
We have the problems with; it's the people who tend to have them.... by the way ( not a convicted felon) in most cases. The ideals of the people around you make this a doable fix.... Not taking away guns or restrictions.
F.B.I. should be tasked with lie detecting each applicant and asked questions like : Have you ever felt like.....you know shooting someone, people,do you ever get angry and want to hurt someone and if the singles the wrong answer you put them off for 6 months, track another F.B.I. division to monitor them for these 6 months and so on and so forth OH! And it's YOUR tax dollars being Actuallyput to good use on man power and real leg work! Wow what a concept right?
Until next time guys and gals love you all and stand tall for that flag show your pride and don't worry what any other idiot is doing.
Love ya!

Good Times........
What up ya'll.... Well I've had a fair week considering where I'm at; So I called home this past weekend and well my whole family is there getting their B-B-Q on.... nieces, nephews, brothers, sister, mom and my wife and kids.... Well I was happy and excited, see my family don't always do things like that but to hear that, there was a start..... Well; hell yea!!!!!! See my family rocks we have just never rock together at one time and just my luck I've missed the first one but I damm sure won't miss the next! Mom said they had out board games and stuff for the kids and that's cool, but I'd like to get a bounce house for all the kids and I'd like to try for a mandatory B-B-Q once a month, we can have it anywhere and or change the location, the only thing that would be important is for all family to show up I'm all about that folks....
Anyways for me good times are just right around the corner and gets closer with each passing day. My life has changed and for the better and all I want to do now is share that with the ones I love and care about. Family is a huge part of living the American dream and so I damm sure don't want to be short changed out of that. I'm going to have to bust my ass out there but it will always be worth it to see smiles on faces of the ones I love. I sat here today and thought of my family B-B-Q and well... I had a smile from ear to ear.. of course it ain't all roses but hey, we all got issues that need to be addressed and you know what?.... As long as it's family first; good things will follow and of that I am positive.
Love heals all they say, and I pray that's true and I will give 110% always because I am not a Quitter I don't give up and especially not with the ones I love!
I have a friend here with me, I've wrote about this men in the past he's a Vietnam Vet., served 3 tours over in that shit hole, came home and caught a life sentence in which he served 40 already.... this man shouldn't be here, he has kids that are grown and can care less about him based on nothing but a bunch of bullshit; P.T.S.D. Yep this man has it, decelerated War Vet. Yet where is his country now? Better yet where is his country men now? Is he truly to be judged all his life on one moment in his? Yet that is exactly what happen to him. I don't see this man as a criminal because of his mistake, I choose to see him as a war hero who got stuck in a shitty situation and dealt with it the only way our military taught him how and that's not a cop out that's just facts.... Anyways it's because of men like him that we have freedom here in this country and I hold a high respect for that.
A close friend of mine once said : " Every man dies but not every man lives." Well that's true; so why then, do we treat someone who made one mistake different?
Anyhow he will come up for parole soon and I find myself praying with all my heart he gets it; for in my opinion no man deserves better then at least a fair shot! This man has no family here except the friends he makes.... he's a Vet., biker, person, friend and I've come to see him as part of my "inside family"... which is kind of hard to get into because well.. I'm usually a complete asshole for one, but long story short I'm just wondering if he even has any old war buddies out there who might not even know he's alive and well..... Although he does walk with a limp because of a wound he picked up in country years ago. Yea my good buddy, who has been like a second uncle to me Lennox Crammer is and was, that dude!!!!
On the day I started my M.C ( Motorcycle Club) he will either my be V.P or Sargent in arms because he's that stand up and well that's why I have chosen to include him in this " Good Times" family story, because I am hopefully for him #1 that he's granted parloe, #2 that he stays close to people that care about him and #3 he often speaks of a man he holds high respects for...... he calls him " The General".
If any of you out there know this man don't be shy, leave a comment! Or better yet look him up yourself and let him know you are still alive and give a shit! On that note I will bring this to a close peace out all!!!!

Prison
Prison of course is a funny place and I mean that, where else could you see things like... a guy scratching his own ass then smelling his fingers or take a dump and not washing his hands then try to shake your hand, can you say " Thank G-d " for the " fist bump". I'm serious last night I saw a man eat his own buggers!!! Picked his nose and then sucked hard on the same finger, still others will go days without a shower... people can be stupid and when they think no one is watching even dumber!!
It's a place where men can act like boys.. liars. thrives, and you can be anyone you want... gangsters, drug dealers, professional snipers, but never a street corner baser that's been down on there luck.
The system has changed since I first got locked up, now we have lots of kids coming in here and these kids are bad apples of society, no remorse, no understanding, they just don't care and... you just can't correct that.
D.O.C has done a lot of changes since I've been in the system but none of it is what these kids need... they need there asses beat! broke down, and built back up again into men; parents! in this country have failed to raise there kids, so social media, bad friends and video games have along with new waves of drugs and violence....Adults have failed in America; and that's what I've seen with my own two eyes. I'm scared for my family and of course I want to protect them from this but I'm also smart enough to realize we can't run from problems like this... We need to do better! And time, time spent with your kids has always been how you nature your child, not T.V, Social Media, and first person shooting games... As adults shouldn't we be learning from our mistakes and addressing the issue head on? Have we all forgotten how to be men and woman in our own country? Does anyone hear me out there?!
Simply put; if we aren't there enough in our kids lives... someone else will be., what will they teach them?
To hate?
To hurt?
That's scary and it will not take place under the roof I live in and you shouldn't either... the only moral you teach your kids by not being there is that the money you make is always more important then them. I've been told by some real old timers that at times they feel like there safer in here, than they would be out there... and in a bigger way what they say for them; might be true , but you can't change things from in prison
So forward I go !!

Dream.......
Dreams live in us all I think; sometimes they come true and, other times they are pushes back... but never forgotten, for some it's pipe dreams, others it's a sure thing just waiting for the right timing. In my case I have a beautiful wife and great kids, but there ... just out of reach is my bike... and on days like today my bike takes a back seat to my family; my wife is awesome!!!!
And she wants from me what I want from her.. happiness, and to be happy, what she may not realize is when it comes to her and the kids; I always choose them and will continue to do so., because "they" are what makes me happy. For 20 plus years I have been behind a fence and not on two wheels but I still lead a pack and that pack is my family. 😃
Soon these gates will be open to me and a new man will step out these gates.... I just won't be alone inside now; and that my friend , soothe the soul. This road for me is coming to a close and a new one will open. I might not be riding through it on two wheels just yet, but I am riding through it my friends and to say that I am not happy about that would be a lie. What sucks for me is I will miss this years smoke-out but I will I think make it to next years on my bike... until then I will have to be content with listening it Road Hogs by:

Suck, Bang , Blow / suck,bang,blow.com
here I come!!!! Pipe dream? I hope not but realistically I might not be able to get the Road King A.S.A.P...
So in that event what might happen is a Sportster
that I might have to modify.... bigger tank. Chopped up split frame , lets see what happens.....
one thing is for sure!
I'm already living in my dream, because family, my family will be along the way no pipe dream here!
Just an American Dream slowly forming true, what more could a man dream for?
Keep you posted friend.

Valentines Day
Well.... Valentines Day has just past and I hope all you remember to have told your special someone just how important they are... now I don't buy into the whole commercialization of Valentines Day but; I do believe it works great as a reminder to all the schlep that forget to tell there significant other how special they are though out the year.
Anyways... being in prison and ab serving this Holiday take place is quit an event; people selling cards left and right, others just can't seem to sell any, then you have all the inmates who have just burnt all their bridges with family and friends to the point they have no money, and if they did.... no one to send a card too, and as crazy as that sounds..... they are a lot of inmates like that here... no money, no love ones... no hope, how a person lives in here is usually a reflection of how they lived their lives out there.... a real " I don't give a shit" attitude about life in general, all selfish thoughts and, considerate to none but themselves.
When I write my wife, or have a visits with my family; I am truly humbled by the sacrifices that they make on my behalf.... I have come to acknowledge and appreciate all my loved ones do for me; and while I know that a card or letter can't compare with the things they do for me, I hope it's a small gesture of my appreciation in acknowledgement of all they do for me; a reminder that I will not ever forget the strength and loyalty they've shown me though the years.
My wife and I; we have always been bestfriends first and for most, then husband and father; this has allowed us to enjoy what a lot of people don't truly have in their relationship...
"communication" open and honest, we've had a lot of "haters" that just don't get it and, that's cool because, all we know is what works for us and our relationship.... no one likes to air their dirty laundry in the open, but at the same time people need to understand that their is in fact a time, a place, and a person to " air things out" with. I for one can appreciate my wife lending a strong ear when I'm "venting" and Lord knows she appreciates mine... We have grown a great deal over the years, past our broken relationships with others; distant family relations that have just grown colder with time and friends whom over the years have just shown their true colors and what was really behind their intentions befriending you years prior.... life goes on and we become smarter as to the actions and reactions of others over time... I've been judged by people who don't know me most of my life but when some one or some people that you consider family in your eyes choose to judges you.... well it hurts.
I've been a boy with no worries, a fool with careless actions and a man that has learned from his mistakes and faults..... it's called growing up but; always there will be some who will only remember you for what and where you've been, not where and who you have become today. Life is precious, appreciate it; and respect humanity around you.... even in a place like prison I've chosen to appreciate my humanity and others.... thus I write the story's I do; crud they may be, my goal is for you to see and somewhat feel the things I do... and guess what? No matter what your opinion...
I will still always respect you as a person.
Look prison sucks! Food sucks, taking showers with a bunch of dudes.. sucks, taking a shit while some one brushes there teeth right in front of you sucks. But for me , if I can't laugh at this situation... well then I will be the one choosing to loose my humanity.....
I've got no time for looking back in life; only forward to what tomorrow holds.... and hopefully allow my family and friends { the ones who have been there for me } to know how much I do appreciate them and what it takes to make any kind of friendship/ relationship commitment to a convict.......
and that's just real!!!!!

Switchin Up!!!!
Well... the move is made and here I am in my new dorm,.. it's crazy really because I didn't think that there was a place in prison where man didn't act like an animal; I was wrong. There are good man in this dorm and I find myself breathing a breath of relaxation in here, it's a comfort and by product of a group of people just trying to do positive things with their lives and making changes. I can leave my locker open all day full of canteen and when I get back to the dorm it's still their!!! It's true no one steals here and all have, we are like a big family here, we all look out for each other... it's truly been a blessing for me to be in this dorm. I'm expected to take classes each week, 4 of them to be exact and I'm cool with that self betterment can do me no harm...
But by the time you all read this I will just be starting my first class, I'll keep you posted on how that all works out. Anyways life's good!.... and it's going to get better for me. I wish that things could always turn out good, but in the real world we all know that isn't always the case; So don't expect it.
At any rate, we go through an inspection here every morning , five days a week.... We lost some real good men today during the transfer run, bunch of older dudes... who have been on this chain gang crew awhile: Dale ward, Spider, Saggie, John Henry, hopefully you guys have moved on to bigger and better things . A special shut out to Honky, and Mark Jackson, we lost a lot of solid men today(3/3/2017). I wonder what we got.... only time will tell; Lord knows nature will always take it's course in the end, but DAMM! I don't want things to turn "Savage Life" here until I've punched my end of sentence ticket here.... let the good times roll...
I miss my ace dice!!!
Hooligan if your out there listening man, I wish you had came to this spot with me it's truly heaven, in hell.... I just hope you are fairly well where ever you may be...did you bring your fishing rod?Anyways your book was sent to your mom, and all you out there that don't know what's going on.... well shit! only life in the chain gang.... but freedoms ringing at my door and I'm in 12 month plan to answer that knocking....
My lovely wife , my soldier at arms who would of thought? All these years... life is crazy but when things bigger than us take charge you dived the light in your life within you and the people around you. Life is about stepping up when it's your turn to contribute.... Well have I told all of you out there how great it feels to be in control of the direction of my life???
It's true... I had a visit this past weekend and received a surprise when I went out there and saw that my wife had thought to bring my mom to see me...yea that's right I am a little bit of a mama's boy; it's been 3 years since my mom had last came to see me and the visit then had went badly; and I regret that confrontation .... this time my mom and I actually had a pretty darn good visit... I know it was hard on her yet she came anyways and that meant a lot to me.. We all grow up at times in our lives we have to be adults and so it was not lost on me what it took for my mom to come visit... I am humbled and yes God is big; truly things are changing in my life and for the better but I believe it's also changing the people life's around me for the better as well. I love my life and I just can't wait for the next chapter!!! Life really is to short to be bull shitting and so we have to really live life each day to the fullest! On that note I will close this out and get with you all the next time. I will say this... for all's pleasure next time I have a true story of a real battle royal, this one will have all kinds of crazy shit, it will truly give you all a birds eye view from out there of how things can go really bad at a moments notice.
Till next time, two in your lane and kindness screaming!!!
