"Do you have any thoughts on what might come after life?" --- J.K. of N.J.

Yes, of course (haven't you read the Fifth Nail blog?). "After life?" there is everything and nothing, just more life (i.e. I see no evidence that suggests life ever "ends", per se, and a lot of evidence (not to mention personal experience) that strongly suggests that life (and consciousness) goes on, forever, changing constantly, but never "ending". I mean, just think about it (something Christians are conditioned not to do, i.e. "think" about anything... they are told what to think, feel and believe... which is a kind of living "death" to me, i.e. the "end" of personal cognizance)!

"Do you feel a sense of having lost life, having been locked up for so long?" --- J.K. of N.J.

No. At least, not anymore. I used to, when I was younger and first imprisoned (at the age of 17) for forcing a 14-year-old boy to have oral sex with me at the point of an unloaded "toy" gun (a crime for which I had no idea would get me sent to prison for over 20 years). Now I realize that "life" isn't what you make of it, it's what it makes of you! So, there is no sense of loss, just a lingering sense of injustice.

"If you had one day of freedom to do whatever you wanted, what would you do?" --- J.K. of N.J.

That's easy, I'd get married to the love of my life (my fiancée)! Which would give me a chance to meet my new family (in-laws) and visit my old family (whom I miss and still love dearly).
