being paranoid
If you really never want to get ratted out...
if you can't make the descision to quit painting. It's every writer for themselves. Snitches will come a dime a dozen. FUCK...... a year in jail? there are a lot of peeps out there who'd rather be an informer. so, my advice is... don't write with anyone, but yourself. go out alone, and never tell anyone you write or what you write. I know it seems silly, but I have been popped. you are two times louder painting when there are two people. you are two times slower. .. and two times dumber. Not to mention, when desperate enough... your closest partner in crime can turn against you.
but all in all, I'm not paranoid. Fuck... I like to rock alone, but hell... it's fucked up if you have friends you can't trust.. so I do it with a select few. In all honesty...... it's allways a risk no matter what you do. Just don't be stupid. I am sure Det. Hardin looks over a few of these threads, but there's no reason to worry... he's not the most of your problems........ if there's anyone who will get your ass caught ... it's you.
it's your actions that usually wind your ass in jail. and, so the next time you have cuffs on in the unbearably uncomfortable back seat of a cop car.... blame yourself, because you fucked up, either by being sloppy covering up your tracks, talking to the wrong peeps, or not running fast enough.
