On this episode I was going to rant and rave about the terrible customer service I've been getting lately. I probably could have gone on and on about poorly trained or inexperienced people, but instead I found myself going with a different tact and exploring the jobs I've been in and the service I've given. I do still let off a little steam near the end because it is incredibly frustrating when you talk to a representative who's literal job is to help fix your problem and they only seem to exacerbate it. Oh well. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
I'm officially a home owner! What a journey. After spending over 5 years in prison I could never imagine being where I'm at currently. It has been a long process and a lot of hard work but entirely worthwhile. On this episode, I catch everyone up on what that process looks like, although I entirely forgot to describe how awful the move itself was... It had just rained in Vegas so it was 105 degrees with humidity. Pretty terrible. We're still unpacking our boxes but we are about 90% settled. Expect more regularity out of the podcast now that I have a place of my own. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
Happy 4th of July everyone! I've been in the process of closing on a house and getting ready to move. It's been a great time to reflect on my time in prison compared to how great life is now. I'll never forget what I did, even if it was an accident, but it really makes me appreciate the people in my life and the things that I have. I'll always regret that I took that away from someone else, but I can live positively and keep sharing my story in the hopes that it helps someone else out there to avoid my mistakes. As always, thank you for being respectful and for listening. -db
On this weeks episode, I talk about "imagination." It served me well while I was in prison, got me through some hard times, and has also confused me in ways I never thought possible, since I've generally been able to see outside myself and relate to other people. I tell a couple stories from my past, and I ramble as per usual. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. - db
I will never say that bad things have to happen for us to appreciate the good, nor will I say that things happen for a reason, in the sense that there is a bigger picture or grand design. A terrible thing happened because I made the worst decision of my life, and someone lost their's because of it. Now, after working hard and trying to be the best person I can be, not just for myself but for my family, my friends, and my community, I am engaged and about to buy a house. All the good I could ever do in the world will never erase what I've done, and to be fair, that's not why I'm doing everything because I know I can never make amends. It does make me have nothing but gratitude, appreciation, and respect for what I do have. As always, thank you for listening. -db
Thought I'd look up a few prison facts and relate them to my own personal experience in prison. I've always been torn on the idea that incarceration is such a big business and money maker in America. Like all businesses, there's no incentive to reducing/stopping crime, since you're eliminating your product at that point. I should do a follow up and see where these companies are spending there money and if any of it is going towards reform rather than recidivism. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. - db
There is a thing to be said of about timing... and that it's everything. It's funny how things are and aren't working out, but I'd that is timing, too. I've unfortunately been having more prison related dreams, and the last one was quite telling about my disappointment in not getting the job I had applied for and had been given an acceptance letter for. I tried not to get my hopes up and start cashing checks I hadn't earned yet, planning for a future that wasn't here, but the mind does wander and my imagination is quite strong. Oh well. I'm not one to give up. I guess that's why I'm still on the road less traveled. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
Unfortunately, not good news on this episode. It's not confirmed that I didn't get hired for my felony, but it is basically exactly that. I understand that every denial is okay because of what I did; I have perspective and have been immensely humbled by the hurt that I have caused. Still, doesn't make the pill any easier to swallow. -db
