Hearing Is Coming
Well, a week from today I will be heading to the courthouse for my "Clarifications of Conditions of Supervised Release" hearing. This hearing is to, basically, let me know if the Probation Office has the power to force me to use Windows, seeing as nothing they have let me read or sign has explicitly stated that fact.
It is a toss-up right now as to how I think the outcome will play out. My lawyer assures me that the worst thing that can happen is that the judge will tell me to install Windows and comply with the Monitoring Program. That would be the worst case scenario. The best case, obviously, is he thinks that I should be able to use FREE software and doesn't force me to switch.
Also, I am thinking of creating a myspace page... out of sheer boredom I assure you... let me know what you think about that...

PURE HATRED
I am directing this letter to commercials in general: Dear Commercials, I watch a lot of TV... as a matter of fact, I might watch more TV than anyone EVER. From all the Law & Orders to MacGyver to TLC... I watch a lot. I am so sick and tired of you interrupting every show on TV. You show me images of idiocy... stupid commercials like TrimSpa and Campbells Soup. Sometimes, you bless me with some funny commercials; like the Nextel commercials, or 'on occasion' a good Budweiser one, but most of the time, they are stupid. Also, I hate the fact that out of the solid hour that most of the shows I watch are scheduled, you take up 15 minutes. You even interrupt the show called 60 Minutes, making it a blatant lie to the whole world, because it should be called: '47 and a half minutes'.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that I hate you. As a matter of fact, this transcends hate, it goes all the way down to my bones. It is a cold chill, and in the middle of the night, while I watch some of my favorite reruns, I think of how nice it would be to kill you.
Mike Tyson had a good quote that reflects how I feel about you and the commercials I watch: "I want to throw down your kid and stomp on his testicles, and then you will know what it is like to experience waking up everyday as me. And only then will you feel my pain."

PPV Bouts:
-Tyson Griffin def. Thiago Tavares via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-28) after 3 Rounds. -"Lyoto" Ryoto Machida def. Kazuhiro Nakamura via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) after 3 Rounds. -Jon Fitch def. Diego Sanchez via Split Decision (30-27 Fitch, 29-28 Sanchez, 29-28 Fitch) after 3 Rounds. -Forrest Griffin def. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua via Submission (rear naked choke) at 4:45 of Round 3. -Keith Jardine def. Chuck Liddell via Split Decision (29-28 Jardine, 29-28 Liddell, 29-28 Jardine) after 3 Rounds.
Some of these I knew... like John Fitch beating Sanchez, but others (Forrest Griffin, and Jardine) were total shocks to me. WOW!

Life
I haven't been a real diligent post'er as of late, but I am going to give you a long one right now. This is going to be the kind of post that most people won't read all the way through... it is however something that I like. I like the impact (personally) that a deep post gives me.
Here goes: I have really been thinking lately... each and everyday I am really busy. If it isn't one thing it is another. I have an assignment due everyday, and pages of reading... and all of that is fine... I thrive under pressure. If prison has taught me one thing, it is to focus, not only in times of serenity, but in times of distress. I still haven't completely reconciled with everyone. Life isn't the same anymore for me (although, could you have anticipated no change?). I still know things that imprint upon me an impression of inequality. You all might remember this notion from about a year or so ago. The old saying: "There is always someone better.", fits my situation to a 'T'. There are few people that I hold in high regard, very few. And in the eyes of those people, I hope I am held in the same. Anyways, I am looking soon to attend a hearing (October 4th) over the situation that I am having with the Probation Office. I am trying to keep my Ubuntu machine intact (without installing WindowsXP). Now, before I am flooded with comments about using WINE or VMWare... (all of which are plausible and possible, and nothing new to me), I want you all to know that I am not doing this to make trouble for the Probation Office, I am doing this because I feel strong convictions that this is a violation to me. This gives the Prob. Office too much power. And I will fight this, legally, and the right way. If the judge tells me to install Windows, then I will install Windows... Ubuntu will still be there when I get done.
Anyways... I want you all to know that I am stressed. Life, for me, is much more complicated than you can imagine (and none of you can, so don't try).

When Is Enough, Enough?
I am so tired. Life isn't easy right now. A lot of you will think that I am lucky (girl, kid, out of prison and only did 5 months in what could have been a lot longer, going to school...)... well each and every one of you would be right. In that respect I am lucky... but I will go so far as to ask: What about me? I do not ask people for anything. I do not require the constant services of someone else to fulfill the things that I need finished. I don't ask for rides, I don't ask for money, and I don't ask for help in the everyday situations and troubles that life throws at you. And when I do ask, it must mean that I need you for something.
So far, the few times that I have asked, I have been turned down. I asked for people to visit me in prison; that didn't completely happen. I asked people to make sure my family was OK; that didn't happen (although they were as OK as they could be). And I indirectly asked people not to forsake me (I use that term as an important indicator of me extreme emotions about this); and I was utterly abandoned.
My life is harder than you all can imagine. While some things might be on the right track now, there are equally as many things trying to steer me off course.
I used to wear my heart on my sleeve.. prison helped me with that... Now, I don't wear my heart at all....
