Conversations and thoughts

So I haven't been on top of posts lol, so here I am!

Within the past week I've had nothing but delightful conversation with some new inmates, although one had removed me his list because he was "looking" for something else lol as he's being released sometime this year and as I was asking him for some input from him that I could put up on my blog he passed my email onto someone he knew.  This guy was in for drug conspiracy and doing double life or something like that I thought hey! so I have someone that could be interested but then he had though I wanted to be a journalist lol and had wanted me to "meet him half way" with costs so he could post his case info...sending money to someone I don't know and in prison overseas is something I'm not willing to do so I stopped talking to him.

I had received a letter in the post last week from an inmate in Texas (Guillermo) who is doing 14 years but I figured 15 years as he's been in for 15 months so far, I had no idea who he was as I didn't remember his name lol until I read my letter and he had said that his friend or a guy in the same uint had given him my email because (I would assume that he has to many pen pals lol) so he wrote me and sweet of him he had made Darren my son a Christmas card! Which I have shared the pictures. So I wrote back to him the next day (I had to but also because he sounded interesting and has beautiful writing!) I had sent off 6 letters all together last week! I love getting mail! lol who doesn't?

A couple of days ago I was talking with one of my other e-pals (Brandon) and he has a friend in the same unit as him that had done my numbers (numerology) and so eventually he had passed my email onto his friend as he figured we would have something in common! Tarot and spiritualism and what not lol...So this new one (Jarrell) hes older than me and very interesting! He has a lovely personality and we do have a lot in common! Although it amazes me, I would have never thought there would be an inmate into that kind of stuff! He's very funny as well!  But because he has done my life path and what not he knows more about me than I know about myself lol, but its cool:)

It really surprises me what kind of talent and interests these guys have! and deep down they just want to share it (what i believe anyway) I've had so many thoughts when its come to these guys. Like Guillermo how he's doing 15 years for burglary of habitation...5 years less than what Jack got for his crime which was more serious! It's really disgusting! I really think that the "system" in the states is screwed up! Well who doesn't? All the states from what I believe or have seen so far have different laws...and the people doing crime if they do the same crime as another person in another state they will serve different time! It should all be the same! It's unfair..Anyway Guillermo he's got 4 kids and he's 26 years old, when I read that all I could think was "how could these guys do that to their families?" because a few of them they don't talk to their partners (cause they've broken up) so they have to talk to their kids through their grandparents. My heart goes out to them as it must be really hard not being able to see your kids on a daily basis. But life can sometimes send us a "curve ball" we all make mistakes. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger and if that has to be a wrong route that will land us in prison then so be it.

 The prices they have to pay when it comes to using the computers 5 cents a minutes for 30 minutes, 6 cents for local calls 26 cents for long distances and 99 cents for over seas.  I occasionally talk to Jack on the phone (I baught a www.Skype.com number close to him so it wont cost a bomb on his funds) which I thank Scott for letting me get that and for cheap price as well! £4.03 a month can't go wrong! But it is really nice to be able to hear the voice behind the writing and then pictures, its nice to see who you are writing to! It gives a sense of comfort:)

 So to say the least I've had an interesting week interesting conversations:)and surprises!

I would like to just ask, what do you think of this card? I love prison art! like seriously these guys have some real talent!!!! I'm hoping to get some drawings in from Jack and from one of the others soon!
