The End Of Ex Con

This is the last posting for this blog which has tremendously helped me throughout the years since I was released from prison. Lots of things happened here.

I made new friends, reunited with old friends, fought with the prison guard union, and even had a hard time with the Rock Band Them Pouges.

I truly would like to thank everyone who regularly read my posts. Some of them were good. Some were bad. But it helped me. Every single post.

Here's my update. After weeks of struggle trying to find a place to live, I didn't have to settle for a seedy hotel room in a rotten neighborhood. I live in the Sunset area of the city only blocks from work. I live in a flat with one other person. Usually a flat of this size rents out 4 or 5 people which leads to drama like that show Big Brother but without the contests. I have a beautiful girlfriend who I may spend the rest of my life with if she behaves : ) , I have a great job, well at least my employers are great and give me plenty of hours in order for me to live pretty good. I bought a bike to ride around instead of wasting money and fossil fuels. And I am visiting the family in Florida in September.

When I left prison with the $200 gate money they provide you with, I knew I had a long hard struggle ahead of me and truthfully thought I might wind up behind bars within months. But that didn't happen. I got a job for the first time in years. And I worked. Man did I work. 6-7 days a week and still doing it at the place I'm at now.

I have beaten the odds so far. I see so many people. Old friends who I used to get high with who are just stuck in the same situation. I do my best to help them whenever possible because I remember the days when they helped me, though not for the right reasons.

I will be starting a new blog but I won't be announcing where it is or promote it here. I love writing and I would like to see if I can gain the same amount of readers I have here.

I love you all and wish all of you the best in your struggles and the struggles of your loved ones. But most of all I want to say two words to all of you.


Thank you.

You've been so kind and generous, I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
For everything you've done, you know I'm bound, I'm bound to
thank you for it....
