LOOKING FOR A FRIEND
Hello, this is an advertisement for a pen pal friend. I treasure friendship and love friends. A true friend is one who would protect (defend) your life, property and honor! I’m the type of individual that believes in going above and beyond the call of duty in friendship and romance. I have the greatest amount of respect for woman hood – childhood upbringing. I’m very romantic, monogamous, sensitive and strong; and I trust that there’s someone out there for me I would love to hear from. My character: I have a good sense of humor; laughing is like medicine for the soul. I love to have fun and enjoy life. I’m a down to earth man; do not believe in physical or verbal abuses. I view women as glass vessels (precious gifts from God!). I’m very health conscious, drug free, disease free, at 6’1”, 200 pounds. My likes: Love to take nature breaks, e.g. visit islands, go to the country and woods, visit rivers. Love to cuddle with my lady! Walk in the sand barefooted, holding hands. Love pets: dogs and cats. Goals: To find a friend/lady and build a financial empire. Financial goals: I plan on making a living and earn income through multiple sources. I am blessed behind a podium, giving public lectures to standing ovations; motivational speaker on any topic. Will speak at events and sell DVDs/CDs on the world wide web. I’m a music (Jazz saxophonist), bi-lingual (speak Spanish). I’m an excellent cook, great preparer of foods. I know the art of cooking, whether boiling, baking or frying. Plan to own and operate a restaurant (God willing). I’m an author - just completed my first manuscript. I’m determined to become a success story from prison, with profitable businesses and a great love life. Relationship goals: To find a friend, soul mate and wife!! I’m the type of man that loves to keep my mate happy, smiling and feeling good! I aim to take care of all my lady’s economic needs, physical desires and emotional urges. From my lady I’m eager to learn, eager to please and eager to be helpful and romantically obliging! I believe in true love!! I acknowledge that God made men and women for each other! We are divinely programmed to be each other’s companion. True love will give you the happiness on this earth that you deserve. I will lovingly kiss you before I leave the house each day and kiss you tenderly upon returning home. True love keeps promises; true love compromises for the pleasure of one’s lady. True love would give you many good stories to write about. True love would flood you with personal attention, gifts and flattery. True love fears displeasing his woman. True love would make you happy in and out of bed. True love would invest so much equality time with you. True love views you as a lifetime companion. True love has the strength to turn down advances from other women. I see cheating as a blame worthy act! Hobbies: Playing chess, love to read inspirational and educations books that stimulate the brain with wisdom and inspire the heart with guidance. Age/race are not important, which is a way to miss out on some great people. I’m looking for someone to share my life with; a drama free and peaceful life! To join me on my 15 acres of South Carolina land. Though I’m in prison, I really don’t belong in this environment. I’m not criminal minded nor predatory; and I respect God’s gift to man: Woman!!! Sincerely, Shabazz Mohammed

MAKE A FRIEND
We’ve come to the same place (despite our circumstances) to make a friend. You’re here, I’m here and still we face similar struggles. Sometimes, just to have someone have your back is enough to help us though. I’ve lacked the sort of friends who could withstand the weight of time; the sort of friends who lacked the patience to endure hardship and not let a comrade’s hand slip while your attention is ambushed and stolen.
Whether it is “ought of sight, out of mind” or the “infinite truths of time”, I’ve accepted my reality for what it is. I’m not bitter, nor am I bent by the struggle, but upbeat about a friend being so near. I know it’s hard to lock the door on priorities. I can’t fault anyone. My friendship comes with no strings attached and is open to anyone whose intentions are true.
Writing (letters, poetry, journal), reading (westerns, suspense and novels), current events and sports (football, basketball, boxing) are just a few of my interests. I’m very open-minded and welcome all words.
Despite time bringing change, does it mean our friendship should do the same? Send an email, introduce yourself, take a chance. Make a friend!

AN UPDATE FOR YOU
Hi Guys! So it has been brought to my attention that the Arizona State Department of Corrections may be stopping all third party mail. That said I may not be able to rescue the emails that you send me through the WriteAPrisoner.com service. My profile will stay up and remain updated by me, however should you decide to reach out to me personally then please send me an actual note or letter through the mail. That will ensure that I get it without any issue. Beyond that news I am doing well and just trying to maintain my sanity. The weather here has been crazy and I stay looking forward to beginning a new life in Boston. I have completed my request for a prison transfer to Massachusetts and plan on making a life there upon my release. Now I am in the hurry up and wait program. In any case it has given me a new light at the end of the tunnel. In all that is mu update for now. Take care, everyone, and have a great summer! David

PRISON YARD CONTEMPLATION
I was sitting on the ground against the fence on the prison yard, gazing into the late evening sky. I could just faintly see a commercial jetliner flying across the horizon. At first the jet seemed to move slow but ever so steadily and consistently in it’s moving that it actually rapidly streaked across the sky. I thought of the people flying so high in the jetliner, oblivious to a prison so low and a prisoner observing them make their way across the sky. I wondered about refreshments. Could someone be having a martini? I contemplated the passengers, their lives and destinations. People living their lives; people who would never know me and whom I would never know. But, as the jetliner left my sight, I wished them all so well in their life journeys.

HEAR MY STORY
People, if you want to get the real deal, check me out! Nobody is going to give you the raw truth like I will. I have a story that everybody needs to hear. Log onto MySpace.com/AntSpaulding78@yahoo.com and see what the buzz is about. Write me and I will respond with that genuine feeling that these saturated dudes are too scared to display. I don’t sugar coat or water down. It’s pure. Full of heart and emotion! I guarantee you will take something away that will inspire and excite greatness. This was all birthed out of a hobby. It turned into a mission for which I believed I was called to do. For charitable organizations I would giv my last for, for social consciousness sand awareness. Also for insight on what my duty is while I’m here, growing in the process and making sure that I have a positive effect on those I’ve had the opportunity to grace. Hopefully that’s you! (You know the one that’s glued to their seat with all that love to give, you, who wants to go places but is confused with direction. Allow me, possibly you? Most definitely you! Please do! Make the move so we can fulfill each other. let’s progress one another and awaken the dead. A little fun with no judgment just butter to bread.) I will respond to all letters. That’s my word!!!

A HOLIDAY IN PRISON
It’s the night before Halloween and I’m feeling sad. This will be my third Halloween in prison. Holidays in here always seem to bum me out. I remember, as a little kid, trick or treating in the neighborhood with my dad; then, as an older kid, with friends. I was a clown, E. T. and Dracula repeatedly. For some reason, in the 1980’s, it was cool to be Dracula. In college the entire city of Chico parties downtown. They blocked all traffic and it became this huge block party of drunken college students in ridiculous costumes. I was Saddam Hussein in 1992, before he became so hated. The next year I was Beavis and Butthead. My girlfriend wanted to get those Sumo wrestler costumes with a battery powered fan. I spent $200.00 on them and she refused to wear them. She worried it made her look fat. When I grew up I enjoyed staying home with my wife, ordering Chinese food, passing out candy, decorating the house with ugly creatures and spider webs and playing haunted house CDs. Heck, I even miss the trips to Target to buy the candy. Tomorrow will be just like every other day, except that I’m going to buy tons of candy bars from the vending machine and eat them while watching Poltergeist, uncut and commercial free, on my 13 inch TV. I might even give away candy to some fellow inmates. I sure do miss the way things used to be.

STAYING POSITIVE
Hello everyone! Just thought I would check in and give everyone an update. Things are going surprisingly well. I am still awaiting my transfer to Boston, Massachusetts and anxious about that but I remain patient. Arizona is okay but I just have no desire to reside here upon my release since my best friend and parents are in Boston now. The East Coast will be a good change and I look so forward to it. At the moment I am not corresponding with anyone but hope that changes sometime soon. Still, I am working in the Warden’s office, working out a lot and doing all that I can to stay busy and positive. The World Series is going on now. In my heart I am a Red Sox fan but at the moment I say “Go Giants”! Yeah, I love sports. Well, I hope that whoever reads this is doing really well. The Holidays are already upon us which, for me, means it’s another year down. Take care, everyone! Your friend, David.

HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS ARE PARAMOUNT
I recently read a book entitled West of Kabul, East of New York, an Afghan American story by Tamin Ansary. I enjoyed the book. I was struck by something said on pages 206 and 207, which I feel is profoundly true, but in a busy world, easy to overlook. “That human relationships are the only things that are utterly irreplaceable. A human relationship, when it’s gone, it’s finished. And anything you might feel sorry for, there is not correcting it. And anything you planned to do together, that’s finished too. There is no replacing a relationship.” And, “My irreplaceable loved ones gave my life whatever value it had”. I agree with these passages. I feel life is so very short. Family and friendship are paramount. Love, friendship and acts of kindness are the most significant things that can be effected. ~Brian Duckett 10-31-10

WE'RE ALL HUMANS
Friends, what are y’all afraid of? Is it because of the word prison? Look, we’re all humans in this world…and we share this world together! Most of us in prison do not deserve to be here (such as me) but we’re here and trying to create friends amongst these razor wire fences. Chances are very slim. The outside world looks down on us without reasons; they figure just because an officer pulls you over you’re automatically guilty and vice versa for the courts. I would say at least get o know us as human beings before casting judgment upon us (inmates). I’m not only speaking for myself but for the others also. Some of us stress for mail. Not only that, longing for a companion to keep those 4 words with us R. E. A. L and to open themselves to a comfortable position and share their feelings, thoughts, just be sincere altogether. Thank you for taking time out of your everyday schedule just to read how boring I really am (LOL) but at least now you know. I’m not obligated to hold you within my presence any longer! I know that this isn’t much but think about how we feel (as a number, an inmate, etc.). Is there anyone in the world today who is willing to correspond with an inmate? And if you decide to correspond with one of us (human beings) please make sure you tell them who inspired you to write them. Keep your head up.

BECOMING INSTITUTIONALIZED
Welcome to my blog. If you’re reading this it means you are interested in contacting me and that’s a reason to smile. I am a man who is becoming institutionalized after 18 years in prison; never lived my youth, haven’t experienced things in life many take for granted such as love, a profession, having a surprise party, etc. I blame myself, the young man who brought me here. Yet I don’t complain for it was the path needed for my re-generation; like a pearl, which once out of its environment, needs to go through a process of cleansing before it can shine. Yet part of me hopes for having the experience of life, to the point where even a prison visit means the world to me because I’m not used to that; or feel joy to see my name at mail call for I’m totally disconnected from the free world. I would like to touch on my legal case but space is limited. However justice was never served and I will likely die here while the person who kills is free. The judicial department knows but politics aren’t about justice, they just need a body to fill a cell spot. That’s the American justice. I know the little world which surrounds me isn’t the true world and I find myself in a battle not to lose my humanity. I want to embrace friendship wholeheartedly and I consider friendship a blessing. Are you my blessing??? Hector
