Hello,
my name is Chris. I’m a 31 year old incarcerated male
on Texas death row , I’m writing in search of some people to
correspond with.
I
grew up in the East Texas town of Texarkana. Lived in the country and had
Quarter horses all my life. Always had horses and animals, worked around
ranches/farms and livestock. I enjoy the peacefulness of the country. No
bustle of vehicles and people at all hours of night and day. There’s
nothing quite as beautiful as a clearing full of fireflies winking in and
out on a cloudless night, stars scattered across the sky as far as the eye
can see in all directions.
I
grew up country and consider myself as such, but I don't listen to much
country music anymore. Although, I still know it fairly well. I prefer
Rock-n-Roll, Heavy Metal, a little Goth. I grew in the Nineties, so
Alternative and Grunge are a big part of the soundtrack to my latter
teenage years. I‘ve seen Ozzy, Type-O-Negative, Deep Purple,Lynnard
Skynard,Sepultura.Several country acts.
Music
takes up a lot of my life. I’ve always got my headphones on. Along with
books, i read a lot too. Fiction mostly, due to its accessibility amongst
all of here. I'm a fantasy fan and George R.R.Martin' series The Song of
Ice and Fire is by far my favorite. I like Non-Fiction and
Historical-Fiction also. Bernard Cornwell is pretty good. Good books are
like watching a movie in your head.
1’m
a journeyman form carpenter by trade. I’ve traveled around the States
working. Memphis,Tunica,Dallas/Ft. Worth,Indiana,and from South Texas to
Minnesota. You could say i have a little Vagabond Blood in me. I love
going to new cities and places and meeting people,experienceing their part
of this world and how they do things.
As
much as i love the country, i must admit to the draw and appeal of the big
cities.
All the culture, the buildings and
history, bright lights and things to see and do at all hours of the night
and day. I don’t think i've ever seen a firefly in
any city, though. Both something to be desired and lost. I
would love to travel the world some and see faraway places.
l'd
like to find people off the beaten path to correspond with. People of
various ethnic,cultural,and religious backgrounds would be refreshing.
People who are up to writing and sharing their personal views/experiences,
likes and dislikes.
l
look forward to hearing from you soonest! ....Remember,
it’s
more often than not the simplest things in life that are the most
valuable. Regardless of what happens today/the sun will rise on a bright
-n- shiny new day tomorrow!
Peace/Love-n-all
