On An Evening Such As This...It's Hard To Tell If I Exist
I know you all have missed me in my absence. No, the Scientologists did not kidnap me, brainwash me, and return me home. Funny story, though...I was kidnapped once. Want to know something else interesting? One of the persons that did it to me was released from prison a week ago. Want to know something else interesting? She had a 40 year sentence and at least 2 (I think more) counts of CRIMINAL charges, and I found out this week that she had been serving her sentence in a minimum security prison. She was a convicted CRIMINAL felon...and she got to enjoy her less than 1/4 of time served in a fucking MARTHA STEWERT prison. I'm slightly pissed. Can you tell? I also found out (through my own good sleuthing) that one of the others is "projected" to be released later on this year. WONDERFUL. That makes me have SO much faith in our legal system. People kidnap two people (of which, one is only 14 and neither are adults), pull guns on them, hijack the car they are in, beat the holy living shit out of them and leave them on the side of the road naked to die, and they don't even serve even 1/4 of their sentence...and that they do serve is in a low risk prison. Justice? Hell no. So, that's been going on. Also, ever since we found out about the departure from this lovely unproductive member of society, a few random and coincidental things have happened. I'm getting slightly concerned and annoyed by the whole matter. So, that's what is up with me right now.Aside from the annoyance of all of that junk from my past coming back to haunt me right now, I'm fairly content and happy. I've had some fun opportunities arise. Tomorrow I get to go to a baseball game, which is awesome. I'm feeling more creative both on the artistic and musical fronts, which is a very good thing. I'm just sort of sitting back and being amused with life right now. I don't have anything really insightful or funny to say...I'm really freaking tired from last night's bowling and stuff...I just thought I would update and let you guys know that I'm still alive (at least for the present). Take care and have fun!

Wow, that's some story. I've never known anyone that went through such a rough ordeal. I can see why you'd be pissed off and concerned too. Why are they getting out so soon? That just doesn't seem right. I'll never figure out how the legal system works.
I'm am glad that..."Aside from the annoyance of all of that junk from my past coming back to haunt me right now, I'm fairly content and happy."
Yeah, I have no clue why they are getting out so soon. It just does not make sense. They are supposed to serve like 1/3 of their time before they come up for parole even (at least I thought so), and if they haven't served even a quarter, then my basic math tells me they haven't served 1/3. My only guess is that either I'm wrong about the prison 1/3 thing or else our prisons are too full so they let those who aren't multiple violaters of like murder or something else go to make room for all those death row inmates. This place is notorious for having overcrowded prisons...that would make sense. Maybe someday I'll find something out. Hope you are well!
Try calling the local DA's office and see if you can find anything out. Since you are a victim, maybe they can answer some of your questions. I think it's worth a try anyway.
I'm doing very well as you may have guessed from reading my blog. I appreciate you asking.
