Daniel Johnston

Hi, since we are going to be friends, you can call me “Dan.” You should write me so you can tell all of your friends you know someone who has been struck by lightning (indirectly). Also, you’ll know someone who has walked halfway across the US twice. I am willing to discuss anything, even religion and politics, or we can just exchange fart jokes, whatever you like.

Since being incarcerated, I’ve completed two vocational programs: construction and electrical. I’m currently waiting to start an Associate’s Degree and eventually obtain a Master’s Degree (after release) in social work. I’ve been practicing my Spanish while I wait.

I read a lot; mostly non-fiction and hard sci-fi. I do a little drawing and painting, and I exercise as much as I can. I am a thyroid cancer survivor, though I think “survivor” too strong a word; it wasn’t that serious. I am firmly agnostic, a member of the American Humanist Association and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church.

I am not seeking financial or legal aid. I am also not looking for a romantic relationship but if one comes looking for me… stuff happens, right?

If you send me an email on JPay, please make sure to leave a mailing address, as I can only reply through snail mail. I look forward to hearing from you.
