Hood Life: (Unedited): 01 Nov 2015: 

Physically leaving the hood culture for a better life cannot happen when you continue to exist mentally in the hood life.

================
Living down here in Port Richey, Fl. of Pasco County. We have a huge transient problem. Families come here all of the time with their children they are trying to save from all of those bad gang member people up in the Yankee northern USA. The parents thinking their children are now safe. Get that rude awakening when only to discover that their precious innocent child is the one who was the cause of all of that drama up North and they brought the trouble down here into Florida.
he hood life and the hood culture. You may be able to leave one and yet keep the other within you. Thus, you may think and wish that your loved ones are now safe. But, it is they who have brought the Hood Mentality down with them to the sunny and safe state of Florida.
When you have grown up with any kind of life style. It is hard to escape from. No matter what it is. This is the same with the Hood life mentality. And yet you continue to listen to the hood life music. You watch the hood life music. You begin associations and relationships with other hood life people. Really, what has changed other than the physical location? Nothing.
Eventually, You will have zero options and opportunities for any kind of peaceful life with any kind of stable family structure. This is because, you have only a short time to become educated and to continue on in college. If you do not become educated and then continue on so that you can be gainfully employed. Your life is going to be really difficult and it doesn't even matter what hood your from. You will remain in one low income hood or another. This is because, all of the rules have changed once in 2001 and yet again in 2008. After, 2008, it is now virtually impossible to obtain quality employment without a marketable college degree. Just go and ask those 40 and 50 year old's who did not have a college degree but suddenly lost their management positions simply because of a corporate policy change in the minimum requirements for that position they held for so many years.

Got Released: (Unedited): 06 July 2013:

The unrepentant ex-convict will always declare to others that they got out of jail instead of being released. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===========================
 Being in control even if you have to lie and deceive others is important. Even when your speech is the same as other ex-convicts. Still the lies and deceptions persist in that particular culture. Each of the men and women who have been in the various forms of imprisonment cannot grow beyond the errors of their ways when that entire ex-convict culture seems to ignore and or silence any kind of admission of guilt, fault or blame.
Healing can only come when the illusion of being in control is admitted as non existing. Honesty, integrity and honor must come from a renewed heart and mind. From that place of helpless loneliness can something new and good grow with their hearts and minds.
Until, that happens. No change in the quality of life will come.  No real jobs. No real quality housing. No real opportunities.
So as long as you embrace a culture where lies and deceptions is the normal. A great everlasting fog will always remain enveloped around you and around those whom share your presence. Question everything with respect. Seek out the truth at the source. Do not trust the words of anyone who desires to lead you. Because, they are probably a better liar than you are. When you discover their lies and deceptions. Now, you will know that they only wanted to use your body until it was of no longer usable.

To free yourself from the ex-convict culture or from any other culture which is based in lies and immoralities. You must educate yourself from the source. You must search for the truth in all of your own thoughts. Which means you have to unlearn all that you may have thought as truth when in fact it all has been a lie. There lies your freedom, hiding behind the numerous veils of lies and deceptions. Behind the last veil. Is not only your freedom but a life worth living.
