Hello World- “Rose UP” this morning with positive thoughts saturating my mental and, although the slender back window is covered with a view altering substance, I stood with my mentality well above and outside of my physical trapping. The energy engulfing this miserable existence remains the same, and no matter how positive one tries to be, there’s no escaping it. Regardless of the growth and progress made behind these walls one’s position in itself keeps one in that...READ MORE
2012- Time to stop seeing others as the problem and looking outside of ourselves for answers. Since long ago there has been free-will and the choice to choose– a life of true worth or a life overrun and whittled down to nothing. It’s obvious the stealing, dealing, drinking, and drugging bring to a head illegitimate mischance and result in even greater damage, loss and destruction to our beloved communities. We have become our own worst enemy….A clouded state of mind working...READ MORE
Like always I allow my mind and spirit to guide me when I write my blogs… I always want my message to be organic. That way you feel what I’m saying, instead of just reading a scripted dialogue. Recently, I’ve been noticing an overwhelming amount of OPPRESSION in our society, our mentalities and our spirituality. For a while now I’ve been wrestling with trying to figure “what the fuck is going on with humanity as a whole?” MORALS, HONOR and RESPECT have just...READ MORE
What’s next?!? Let freedom ring, as Martin Luther King Jr. famously stated! God willing, this is the beginning to an end of your “Long Walk to Freedom” as written in the words of Nelson Mandela. Maybe you are the “Last Man Standing”, replacing Geronimo Pratt? Enough is enough as I could go on and on. The God in heaven’s truth is that you have been, and are, in a lane of your own. May peace continue to be upon you, as I warmly congratulate you on your recent...READ MORE
Again, I find myself in pursuit of the penitentiary’s dangers. I am told to pack up. My turn has come. I couldn’t fill the plastic bags with my property quick enough. For the past twenty-months, I fell in love with my dictionary, thesaurus, world almanac, Book of Morals, and the world’s best poets to have ever lived. For a brief moment they are forced to be boxed-up and not heard from again until we reach Level 6 Penitentiary Pollock. Level 6 means violence. Violence. Sleep....READ MORE
Revolutionary Greetings- Salute to all my soldiers, warriors, thugs, goons, gangstas, Bosses, hoodlums, Brave-Hearts, Brave-Girls, Dons, Divas, Five-Star Chicks and Generals, Murder Mommies, intellects, teachers, educators, enemies, and anyone else that I may have forgotten to mention that is and or has played a pivotal role in helping push LIVEFROMLOCKDOWN.COM and RAISE UP to the forefront of the minds of the masses and we continue to soar to new heights. I commend each and everyone of you for...READ MORE
Now, I know you’re saying “what can he say about LOVE that I have not heard before?”- probably nothing. But it’s always my goal to share with you my understanding and experience. Hopefully, you can build and expound on what I share… A few minutes ago I was watching the football game oblivious to all things, except for the fact that my team was losing. Then out of no where LOVE entered my mind. The concept of LOVE- what is LOVE? Where is LOVE? Who is LOVE? Why does...READ MORE
“No one truly knows a nation until one has been inside it’s jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens but its lowest ones”, as stated by Nelson Mandela “Over half of the ten million prisoners in the world are either children, juveniles or young adults.” Shame on the great nation of the United States of America whom leads the world with a staggering three million of its own people incarcerated in its prisons. There’s a huge...READ MORE
Just touched down at FTC Oklahoma. FTC Oklahoma is a Federal Transfer Center is an administrative facility for hold over inmates as we continue our journey to our respective destinations. Why Oklahoma? If you look at the map you will see Louisiana’s western border brushes up against Oklahoma’s eastern border. Here’ I’ll wait for my number to be called. Then, I’ll probably be back on the Blue Bird. Trust when I say this is not the way you want to see the country...READ MORE
News just surfaced I’ll be departing from the Special Management Unit (SMU) in full. No more 23/1, dog kennel recreation cages, around the clock wrist restraints, and caged in shower stalls. A light hint of freedom; general population awaits again. Still, I must be careful. The first hint of trouble and I’m headed back to day one, phase one. I, along with all others who are scheduled to leave the S.M.U., will be placed on a strict probationary term– “sneeze wrong and be...READ MORE
