If you do the crime you've got to be prepared to do the time. And if you approach life with the right attitude then going to gaol isn't that fucking bad anyway.

Eventually in life's long journey you'll fuck up. Shit happens! If something hasn't "happened" in your life by the time you turn 40 then you haven't fucking lived. It's either divorce, bankruptcy, heart attack or going to gaol. And I now know which one I'd prefer, though before I went to gaol I was shit scared of the place. Before the big bust I was probably looking at divorce and/or heart attack before 40 but after spending 18 months in gaol (off the piss) my health and marriage are stronger than ever and bankruptcy was never an issue so the bastards can go get fucked, I've still got another 20 odd years of good growing ahead of me.

No pain no gain as they say. It took me to totally lose my freedom to realise what was important in life and it was a very painful lesson to have to learn but now the gains are very great. You don't realise what freedom is till you've lost it.

Looking back at the overall big picture it wasn't that fucking bad. I did my time easy because I had the right attitude, ie. I didn't give a fuck about anything.
