Okay, so I went to prison back in 1998 for a shoplifting spree that landed me a Robbery 2nd charge. I came outside the Kmart and was grabbed from behind. I wrestled with the guy and because I used "force" it was deemed a robbery. Went to a minimum secure joint and escaped (walked off), then to a medium and was charged with promoting dangerous contraband. These incidences resulted in me doing a total of 6 years from the age of 18-24. During this incarceration, I decided I wanted to travel the country by hitchhiking and consequently I engaged in this as soon as I was released. I traveled for roughly 2 years and loved it. I eventually came back home to my town of raising and started working the more conventional lifestyle of jobs, having been a brick/block mason, carpenter, coal miner and now truck driver. I enjoy working and having something to do, however, I greatly yearn the lifestyle of the unconventional. Made some lasting friendships with people from all over and never forgettable experiences that I call nostalgic. When I get back to trucking soon, I will re-post on the ride offerings forum. Til then, Cheers! ~Nostalgic Hobo
