Listen...I've resigned from my job at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Correctional division..my rank was COIV, four years of service, and all I can say is I'm glad I'm out. I've been a correctional officer for four years now so this is coming from a real world source. Blacks make up 15% of the USA's population, but easily 45% of our prison population in Texas prisons. I'm proud of what I've done, but cannot take this administration and agency with their policies any longer which is why my last day is the 23rd of this month. I don't know why, but blacks statistically make up a large percent of the prison population. And, to top that off, as Correctional Staff, I've researched many TDC numbers and my own friends locked up. The fact is, it takes A LOT of trouble with the law to make it past city jail, county jail, state jail, and THEN PRISON. I am sick of the job but I know what I know.

Privatizing the prison systems would lead to utter chaos unless it went back to what we used to do as CO's when I started...not gonna say anything incriminating but it's changed a lot in four years, to the point where I cannot handle the agency anymore. Inmates are and always have been the least of my concerns. It's pretty bad when I get asked "what's the scariest thing about prison?" and my response is "The lieutenants and sergeants who I answer to."

Aww..you don't like the profile picture? Come on it shows a look of "hey, wassup? check this out!" and "hey, I can work on cars I've learned a skilled trade", that should be sexy!!

But really, thank you lol. I'm not known for smiling much, just my personality.

For real man 3 broken ribs, broke both feet, broke a hand on a dude's head knocking him out, had an arm ripped out in an armbar! Tell me you would keep going!! lmao

At least your friend died of natural causes.

I am 24 years old. I had a rough past.

When I was 15 years old, my friend of 10 years since toddlers shot himself in the heart for an open casket for his mom with a gun that I had stolen from an off duty cop through knowing his daughter a block away. Charges were never pressed due to the cop's negligence. It was over an ex girlfriend.

When I was 18, my former dealer and close friend got stabbed to death with his girlfriend by his own uncle and nephew over 90,000 dollars.

In 2013, my only remaining childhood friend after getting out of the drug game years ago, he hung himself in his bedroom and overdosed on meth, a friend of over 10 years. Did it around Christmas or Thanksgiving.

Wish you the best. I bottled this stuff up for 3 years and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a result, the tears didn't come rolling until three years after my close friend's death at 15 years old.

Rest assured, you are NOT alone.

And that's a turbo manifold for a d-series motor civic in my left hand in the pic

Oh okay..I'm not shy at all I could tell you every detail of my life because I have no shame and nothing more to lose haha. It's all good. But really, man to man it shouldn't be a problem that's what bros are for but since this is a public thread and you don't want to tell, that's cool too.

So, submarin, elaborate on your highschool scars?

Physical scars? Stab wound on my side, broken feet both of them, broke a hand, had ribs broken, etc. lol

i think my mentioned scars top that of most above lol

by the way, that's a ramhorn turbo manifold for a d-series civic in my hand in that pic :D

I've got serious scars. All three areas. 15 years old, virgin, closest friend of 10 years since kindergarten shot himself in the heart for an open casket, with a gun that I stole from an off-duty cop, over an ex girlfriend...turned me away from dating.

16 yrs old, diagnosed with bipolar and locked up in an asylum.

18 yrs old, got off meds and put back in a now adult asylum, told a guy my past and he offered me a female in there, I was scared shitless in that place but got my first kiss, blowjob, and lost virginity in that place to a 23 year old chick who was by no means attractive, cuts her wrists and hears voices in her head.

19 yrs old, started having sex and messing around with random girls.

24 years old today, quit screwing around and got tested, I'm clean, and looking for my first ever actual date with more than sex, and ultimately a relationship.

That I'm a single, 24 yr old guy clean shaved and shower daily as expected, and I'd like to meet you at a coffee shop in Abilene, Texas? Mez-a-miz is a coffee shop that serves coffees, alcohol, and meals. I drink and smoke cigarettes regularly (drug free) and I'm a car nut. I always wrench on Hondas mostly civics, always building, buying, selling, and trading more than the typical craigslist user. I am a Japanese fan boy so I only deal with imports and watch my fair dose of anime! I come from a bad past of drug abuse and random sex, however, I have put a stop to that and been tested. Clean. Looking to better myself with a relationship, which would mean my first date, etc. So, what's up? Any advice?

24 year old dude here just seeing who's around. Participated in MMA training years ago at 145 pounds, but it hurts so I'm out screw that. I'm a mechanic, car guy, always wrenching on cars and buying and selling more often than most people. Don't worry, I take care of myself I'm always clean shaved and shower daily just fyi. I smoke cigarettes regularly and drink liquor once in a while and beer when the liquor store's closed, at home. Not an alcoholic but I do enjoy my beverages. DRUG FREE. I don't get out much nor do I know that many people although I'm not a recluse. Somewhat overweight but not a fatass bum (my doctor says I'm right on point :p lol seriously) and I do possess a huge sense of humor that is crucial for life. I work, have a steady job with income, share a trailer with my mama because it's easier on us that way with the bills. I have a big dog. Some college credit (professionalism and work ethic) trade school education beyond high school (certified automotive painter). No room for silly drama. Never been in a relationship or on a date, just straight up sex but that was a while back I no longer fool around nor am I proud of it, and I'm clean, so I'm looking to actually better myself with a healthy relationship, trust being the biggest factor which of course is earned both ways. I've led a down right crazy *** life up to this point and things have finally calmed down to where I can actually attempt to have a relationship these days, being that I've finally flown through some turbulence. I have tattoos, chest, both arms, both sides between armpit and waist, all concealed by a T-shirt for professionalism in the workplace.

I am a straight Texican! But yes, I'm a Japanese fan boy and I constantly build, turbocharge, buy sell and trade Hondas mostly civics so I'm always at the junkyard and I watch anime, etc. haha

Not a bot, real flesh n blood Texican!

say dog, I believe in you have faith and you will be fine :D

Yes, I'm a japanese fanboy I work on Hondas all the time, constantly buy sell and trade Civics mostly, and watch my dose of anime!

So, no, I am not a bot but a real, flesh and blood American. Located in Abilene, Tx.

By the way, I'm not a bot. Flesh and pure American blood.

thanks
