BEWARE!
It's ten years now since this nightmare first began to take shape. And throughout these years I've often found myself hoping, wishing and praying that I'd soon open my eyes and find that I had been dreaming all along. But it's not a dream, it's a real life Nightmare. I have searched and searched my mind and heart; I search within the depths of my very soul -- Seeking answers. I wonder how my life could have come to this, and more importantly, Why? I search and search, hoping to find reason, answers and understanding as to how and why so that I could race to spread the word to all those in danger, to all those who know someone who might be in danger. To all those who really care. Beware! Death Row awaits! or that Prison awaits! or that an Early Demise could be right around the corner.
I have yet to find any [one] answer or solution or reason. But I still have a strong desire not to die in vain. To be heard, to express my thoughts and feelings. To tell my story in hopes that this life might be used as an example of what paths not to take. It is also my hope to bring about enlightenment and understanding through education. I believe strongly that education on whatever subject brings about enlightenment and understanding. I wish to give a real view into this Valley, and into the prison system as a whole. It is my hope to show what Capital Punishment really is, what it's really about. I would like to show why a humane society, and even more so, why humanity shouldn't be experimenting with a punishment so final and irreversable. I hope to show how the machine of Capital Punishment is broken, along with the rest of the Criminal Justice System. The topics I speak on will be wide ranging.
I hope that you will enjoy spending time with me as I enjoy writing. But more so, I hope that you will learn something positive from me. I am also aware that not everyone will agree with my opinions. But I hope that in some way I will have at least set the fire of curiosity within your hearts and minds so that you will at least re-think your stance. Once again, welcome to Texas Death Row: Thoughts from Within the Halls of Death Valley. Beware...
