    Bro thank you for all you do with these videos, i counsel troubled teens and we watch your videos with hopes that it points them in the right direction and to stay out of prison.

      That means a lot to me. It really makes my day when I hear people are getting something positive from my videos and my experiences. Thanks a million for sharing that with me and for your work. The world needs more of that!

    I don’t have time but came to give this channel support just by clicking it on then watched a ad then like it. Hooe it can become popular enough that this Guy can make a living of some sort at this. Wishing anyone who’s been down the Correctional Path a better Path in life and nothing but Happiness

    Eric, I'm amazed by your stories. Man, the shit you've been through and the fucked-up politics of prison! I'm glad you got through it and are thriving.

    Pretty cool that you mentioned Kairos, I have served on 3 weekends at a prison here in Virginia.

    • @EricSwanson1
      @EricSwanson1  3 года назад +1

      Thank you for being a part of it! Kairos does so much good for people in prison. It's very hard to describe. On those weekends, it's like you're not even in prison. I was an attendee for one weekend and I served for two. El Dorado Kairos 7, Table of Matthew.

    Your math was correct, 625. That's nuts! I'm always impressed at how you kept doing positive things when faced with so much negativity. Good on you!

    • @EricSwanson1
      @EricSwanson1  3 года назад +1

      Here's how I did it in my head:
      25*25 = (20 * 30) + (5 * 5)
      (20 * 30) + (5 * 5) = 600 + 25
      600 + 25 = 625
      It's a great method for doing two digit squares quickly. And thank you! I think that doing positive things helped me be okay with where I was. I felt like I was growing. Inside of prison or outside of prison, I wanted to grow. Thank you for watching!

I recorded a lot of my early stuff while I was homeless, so the production quality wasn't spectacular. I recorded most of it in my car 😅.

      @Paul Fuchs You're right. It is a Rhoads, lol. I didn't really pay attention when I bought it. I liked how it sat on my hip with no dive, the 24 frets and the radius, so I just bought it without really paying attention to what it was. Still cheap, but it's a damn good guitar.

I unsubscribe. I subscribe. I unsubscribe. It is really weird. I follow hundreds of RUclips channels and your channel is the only one where I do this. I am not sure, but I think it is a compliment. I have decided not to fight it and STAY subscribed.
