HEY ABBOTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I know. I've been talking trash regarding this case big time. Once I received that 'Default Judgment' Post Card in the mail; I snapped (with it only stating that the judge sided with the 'Plaintiff'). I snapped thinking about the absolute blindness of law, in which this case, was brought against me (because they ignored their own laws and approached me in the way they did).
I finally found out what that judgment actually meant, approximately 5 months later, less then a month after being laid-off from work (I believe I mentioned it earlier). Why..., they were too coward to even tell me at that time. Too think, I had to find out from a letter from my bank & start researching what's behind it. That's when I knew I had to put up or shut up.
How about a little (Q), followed with an (A), and my personal (WHY-?):
(Q) Did I down right piss some people off?
(A) I absolutely did... without a doubt.
(WHY-?) I disobeyed the law by not showing up or acknowledging they exist, no... not the mother & most importantly not the alleged son. I acknowledged her when she contacted me, after over 13 years, about those 2 weeks we were intimate (which ended up as if she just disappeared) until over 13 years later. She told me I was the father of her 1st born (how she became enlightened to this is yet another example of corruption altogether). She wanted nothing but only for her son to know who his 'biological father' really is. I told her I couldn't agree more. I had asked her why she never let me know she was pregnant while I was still living in Texas. I couldn't get a straight answer from her. I then asked her for (3) things... (1) picture of the boy from birth, (1) of him at around age 7, and (1) of him as he looks now (when she first contacted me in 2005). I didn't think that was too much to ask for, all things considering. She said that wasn't a problem, but, when I got her letter, let's just say she never followed through. When I questioned her, she started rambling on about not having money and trying to keep this boy away from her now ex: coke-head husband who was threatening to kill them. It was then I felt I should avoid the situation. I knew something wasn't exactly right. Then... she got the courts involved. All I could think about was why me and not him. I tried doing the right thing, yet he's apparently threatening to kill them?!. They were going after the wrong person here, so I came to the conclusion, hell... "Bring it on.".
The way they approached me was unacceptable... make that disgraceful. At that point, I made a personal promise to myself that I will refuse to acknowledge this 'Corrupt Court System' handling the case, and do things my way, regardless of the consequences (which is what you're reading now).
(Q) Why did I react (or lack there of) the way I did?
(A) As mentioned; their refusal to obey their own laws, to say the least.
(WHY-?) My dignity and belief in an honest system, which currently does not exist.
(Q) Has it ruined my life?
(A) To this point; I'd be lying if I said it hasn't affected me.
(WHY-?) Let's just say, it gets involved.
(Q) Do I feel justified in handling things the way I did?
(A) I wouldn't have done so if I felt any different.
(WHY-?) It is what it is.
(Q) Do I think I'll have to do jail time?
(A) Not really...but they're well aware that whatever they must do, I'm ready.
(WHY-?) I was so disgusted that I never really cared if I must serve time or not. I went so far as to let them know I am within (5) minutes of the Suffolk County, NY, Sheriff HQ... so come and get me. I was, and still am, trying to make a point. I also doubt that this particular case of corruption wants to spend any money to go to that extreme. I think this is one of those cases in which they'll try and keep things under the radar. They're going to get their money, one way or another. Whether it be from any 'Federal Tax Returns', garnishing my paycheck (which they've been unable to do, thus far, due to unemployment), any future 'Social Security... oh, and not to mention their cut from the Federal Government. Yes, they will get their money. They know it. I know it. So they'll just keep sending me the "this is what you owe us" or those infamous "start paying us or else" letters every so often.
(Q) Will I stop giving them a piece of my mind?
(A) When hell freezes over.
(WHY-?) Because they're all scum, hiding behind a money making (legal/illegal) system/machine.
At least I know I might have a son. It's better then never knowing at all (which could have easily happened if 'Momma' or the 'Corrupt Court System of Texas' weren't looking for money). Who knows...I might even get to actually talk to or possibly meet him someday, if he is indeed my son that is. Time will tell. That is the one thing that keeps me going.
Until that time comes, however, I have no choice but to continue being a thorn (make that a RR Spike) in the side of this corruption as best I can. I might not have much; but I have my dignity. They've been trying their best to take that away from me, but it will never happen. That is my guarantee to them.
