found guilty of manslaughter back in June...
Judge gave him 8 years. His entire 20s spent behind bars off of some bullshit and a really bad decision (on his part).
Not that I'm comparing my 20s to being locked up or anything, but they were rather stifling. I didn't do anything amazing or groundbreaking or brave. I towed the line and played my part and stuck to the status quo. A complete and utter wasted decade just sitting back while the world passed me by. So I know what it will be like for him (minus the anal rape n shit) to be stuck in a prison for his entire 20s...
At the same time that I sit around and curse the day I ever knew the name Fernando "Macho" Claudio, because I've traced my psychotic break back to those two grueling weeks of jury duty and hence why it got so bad so fast after YEARS of successfully faking my sanity, I'm appreciative for the reality check. I would have hated to have gotten to my 80s, looked back on my life and realized I faked my way through 95% of it. That's no kind of life.
But now, I have a chance at something real. I know where my demons lie; I've come to accept that YES, RAQUEL, THERE IS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT IN YOUR BRAIN AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE IT GETS WORSE. And I'm only 34 so I have a chance...
I feel for Macho. I'm sure he's changed so much already but hard time, REAL hard time, for the rest of your 20s...that's gotta do something to you.
*smooches...for all the time passing me by*

lets take a break here, kiddies. I'm tired. See you in a couple of weeks.
