Don't know if you've ever been held hostage... I would certainly hope not... But, that's kinda like me. It's nothing new, really. I've BEEN held hostage since... Well, a while now. I was fond of tracing it back to, like, June, but now that I think about it, I've been held hostage since around 1999. Somewhere around there. Yeah, that's about right. Imprisoned. I had a chance to escape in July. I'm glad I didn't, now, in hindsight. I'll get out one day. I swear!

Anyway, just back back from Matewan. I don't know what it is, but that little town always fills me with soothing vibes. I like to go there when I'm troubled, and confused about life. For some reason, Matewan makes me feel better. Maybe it's because it's such a tiny place, and it's on its last dying breath of life, or something. I'm glad it made me feel better tonight. I needed it, man! It was nice to see the stars on such a clear night, too. I was afraid I'd go all the way over there, and not feel anything (I didn't feel anything the last two times I went there. Some people just don't get it, I guess.)

Umm... It's funny when you think you have everything figured out, and then, come to find out, you don't! Like when... Oh, nevermind... But, let me just say, trust is not an easy thing to earn, with me...
