How did I get here?

This update (still before my actual term on "The Collar" begins) will help get readers up to speed on why I'm here in the first place. Who I am, where I am, what I am charged with, and why I am doing this, so to speak.

I'm a 20 year old male, from the United States (Florida). During the day, I'm a programmer for a mid-sized company that offers many security related products. At night, I'm an aspiring drug lord and professional psychonaut. No, that isn't a tampon up my nose, that is a vicks inhaler. Anyone familiar with MDMA use should know all about that.

My three joys in life, are drugs, sex, and money. I'm also very fond of computers and the internet. Probably not too different from your self. Once difference between us, is that I am being subjected to a period of work release, which I have decided to blod about. Why am I enduring this punishment in the first place?

Ironically, despite my employment at a security-based company, a lot of my charges have to do with retail theft and burglary. I also have a marijuanna posession charge from when I first turned 18. Some of these charges I may later detail further for the sake of clarity. For the moment, I'll give you a basic run-down...

As far as I can recall, my record holds 5 felony charges (with two VOP(f)s, Violation of Probation; Felony), three misdemeanors (with an FTA, Failure to Appear, and a VOP(m), Violation of Probation; Misdemeanor), and currently have no traffic or driving related charges.

My liscence, however, is suspended/revoked in the state of Florida because one of my charges was drug-related, and common procedure is to take away an offenders liscence for two years. Luckily for me, that time will be up around the same time as "The Collar" is taken off.

Not having a liscence might make being on "The Collar" slightly easier, as I'll be much less tempted to drive somewhere. At the same time, it adds an extra dimension of difficulty, because I'll be unable to be where I'm supposed to, when I'm supposed to, as easily as if I was able to drive there.

This blog will probably contain many references to illegal activities, which may include drug abuse. "The Collar" is not meant for underaged readers, or people who are easily offended by such content. I didn't get to this point in my life by following the rules exactly as they are written. One of the main reasons I was placed on "The Collar" instead of serving multiple years on felony probation, is because I am unable to pass regular drug tests.

The main reason I always test positive, can definitely be linked to one particular substance...

Marijuana

On "The Collar", I am no longer subject to drug testing. This greatly increases my ability to successfully complete the sentence imposed on me. I hope that one day, I'll submit the final entry to this blog. Something along the lines of... "Today, The Collar was removed".

Until then, enjoy the ride with me. Feel free to leave comments, as I've allowed everyone the ability to speak their mind on this blog. I do appreciate the support of my family and friends up to this point, and I'm sure many future posts will include references to them.
