I write hoping to meet new and reconnect with old people if any remember me still. For me prison has become a never-ending nightmare and in hopes of holding onto some sanity I’m hoping to take my mind out of here to a degree by the people I meet. When I used to watch travel channel and see those like Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmerman. I used to wonder what it would be like to travel to some of those places and eat some of them foods. However, I look forward to meeting new people and learning about experiences they had and enjoyed. Originally, I’m from Chicago but I guess I can say though briefly I lived in Dayton Ohio where I attended job corps which was really nice. Then I stayed in Kansas City, Mississippi working as a door-to-door salesman as well as did the same in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Buffalo Minnesota to make a few, I may have covered most of Minnesota. Even though Those were school, and work and I liked the idea of traveling and would like to think if this never happened, I would have traveled many more places by now. I’ve unfortunately seen my family grow old and many have passed but not from old age sadly. I still try to keep a positive outlook despite this unfortunate news. I also enjoy passing time watching Syfy movies and even after refusing to watch it with my mother and aunts I wound up getting into a soap opera called General Hospital in 2002, I’ve watched off and on. In 2011 when it was finally discovered I had a medical issue, which it only took me complaining about from 2008 to get diagnosed.
Despite the unfortunate madness in this place, I seek to move forward in a positive light making some new friends. Learning new cultures way of life and so on is my way of traveling. In my mind I seek to find upbeat individuals to being light into the darkness here but even those non -upbeat can write and hopefully I can encourage you all when you may need it.
Looking forward to your replies,
Maurice
