Hello world! My name is Richard and I'm at the ripe age of 28 years old. I'm a straight up and down type of guy who's cooler than a warm ice cube and laid back like a reclineable lawn chair. I have a decent sense of humor, a good sense of direction, and a real sense of purpose. I'm family oriented, honest, loyal, trustworthy, articulate, and passionate about life. My interests range from working out, creative writing, traveling, and entrepreneurship.

In this digital age of social networking, my current circumstances (incarcerated) leave me at a huge disadvantage to connect with new people. Thus, in my efforts of making myself visible on this open platform, I'm in hopes of having the supreme privilege of making genuine friends.

In the ebbing flow of days and nights, and how the seasons leap about, I'm getting closer to the finish line. I'll be home in 2014, and this beautiful nightmare will be another memory I forget to remember.

So, if you can feel and possibly hear these printed echoes of thought, I encourage you to make yourself known. So, we can be like architects and "build". I'm looking forward to hearing from you and becoming acquainted.
