Blog #2 June 28, 2017

Today Rob came back to jail drunk. He was free for less than 72 hours.  I gave him my dinner to sober him up.  He said that I was an apostle because of myname and that he came back to see me before I go to prison because I'm special.'  He's schizophrenic, but he's sweet.  He said "sometimes I just wanna trash the whole city.  I want the kings of the earth to burn in hell."  I felt privileged to listen to the words of this mad tom o'bedlam.  Perhaps I have gone mad myself, but I too wish that I could just trash the whole world.  I want to see the kings fall too.  I think I was supposed to die somewhere in the last 7 years.  Instead, someone else died.  By a twist of fate, a transference, now I'm alive when I should be dead and someone who should be alive is dead.  That is how it was supposed to happen according to the kindly ones.
