BAJITOBLOG

BajitoBlog is a collection of writings from within my personal life and my work to build a better underground society for all members of the community who do not necessarily fit in with mainstream standards, lifestyles, behavior, etc. I believe we can be our own person, a good and peaceful person without having to conform to mainstream society. In the words of Albert Einstein, my cerebral hero, 'Del you are on the right track' - don't ever let nobody get you down...'

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Dallas, Texas, United States

Some people think i live a fascinating life although i strive to be as humble as i can. but i found that if i ever give it all up - many people would be let down and many people would give up their own personal struggle if they ever see me give up or quit. believe me i have wanted to quit my work a million times and secretly i did. i would say 'no more of this' i'm going to sneak away and start myself a new life like other people have in the real world. then i would get a letter from a kid i never even met or an inmate somewhere i didn't even know and they would tell me how wonderful it was that i was doing so much for others and because of my struggle they had turned their lives around. man i hated those letters i would say to myself MAN! I hate it! i have not gotten five minutes into my new free from the struggle life and yet if i ever did leave it - these two lives may not have ever felt some love in their lives. life is so good when you let go and let God. it took me so many years of fighting to let go and let God rule in my world. Now i just follow Him and my life is so simple i can actually say i enjoy it! :)

COFFIELD PRISON ART PIDDLERS SHOPS

You are probably wondering what is a piddler? well its a person in prison who has time on his hands (usually life or a long long sentence) and he is allowed to pay $150 to get his startup tools and supplies in order to make art or crafts or other items that someone would pay for as a way to make money and spend their time doing productive creative things. Well since I have found the way to make a prison art gallery at Bajito Onda where prisoners can send us things and we sell them for them as well as we get the public involved I received a phone call a few weeks ago inviting me down to Coffield to go into the shops and meet some of the men who have been sending a lot of leather and wood and art and other crafts to us to sell. It was very very cool as well as a true blessing to meet those men. It was like putting a face to a number i guess - and meeting the men behind the beautiful items they create so painstakingly. I invite you to call me and come by so you too can experience their work and buy some of it at very cheap prices like $20 for a beautiful hand tooled wallet.

Take care i'm very tired tonite!
Hugs, Del
