Another new message from an E-Mail he sent me May 31st 2011

Greetings Brothers, Sisters, and others!

Things have been interesting around here. As of recently, the Indiana Department of Corrections has eliminated education from its facilities.
What makes this unsettling news is the fact that I only have two semesters left until I graduate. However, it seems that the DOC has decided to let those who are already enrolled, finish out. We will just have to see what unfolds between now and the start of the fall semester.

Speaking of school. It has been brought to my attention that some of my fellow collegiate as well as professors, have been checking out this website and my postings. So, I want to give a huge shout-out to my favorite professor.. Prof. Jodry and to any of the other Grace College students. GO LANCERS!!!!!

Other good news is that, as of September, I will have 36 months left at this facility, and then 36 months left at the other facility. Then, I will be coming home.
I am hoping that by then, I will have my book finished. I am writing an in-depth commentary on the Book of Revelation. I am currently on chapter 6.
Also, I have received some responses pertaining to my previous posting, of when I "ranted". I apologize for the language as well as if I had offended anyone. As one of my old military buddies once said, we are all entitled to one melt-down a year. LoL.

I am looking forward to being out there with all of you again. Love and Respect to all of you.

Respectfully,
Adonis "ICEMAN" Rinker

ICE'S RANT (2-7-11)
Alright. I am starting to get REAL tired of you people, and the games you seem to enjoy playing at my expense. Yea, I am in prison on a sex case. That is because I told a poor excuse for a mother that, if I have anything to do with it, she would not maintain custody of her son. A month later, I get arrested on a bullshit sex case. There is also this woman that tells me that she loves me, and "No matter what, family forever!" and she will not abandon me as our mother had, because right now is when I need my family the most. Is that why I haven't spoken to her in over a year, because my situation is "too painful" for her? Then, there is my wonderful ex, Zara. We broke up 12 years ago, so she could have sex with someone, than she writes me 6 years ago, but gets made at me for speaking my peace, and tells me to get lost. Then, she recently started writing me, I forgave her, and we started working on a friendship. Well, we had a disagreement, and she tells me to get lost once again-leaving me standing her with a shattered heart in my hands AGAIN. And, of course, you have those individuals running around calling me a child molester, and talking all tough (which they could not do when I was out there). I am not a fucking baby raper! I wish DNA would exonerate me, as it does for so many who are wrongfully convicted, but if there was no crime, there cannot be any DNA. I even had an E.R. nurse and hospital report state that there was no indication that the child was molested. So, how did I get convicted? Gee, could it have anything to do with the fact that I have a shaved head, tattoos, run with "bikers", and go by ICE? Then, the prosecutor tells the woman, "Don't worry, he won't make it out of prison alive", in front of my people. Is that why she (the prosecutor) recently filed a restraining order against me, because I am "not going to make it out of prison alive"?
Everyday, I attempt to find something positive about my being in here, so I can thank the Lord, with an honest heart, for my situation. People write me, asking for my advice, and I attempt my hardest to stay positive for each of you, and give you words of encouragement. Yet, people wish to play games.
That is great. You guys want to play games with me, then let's play. When I get out, we are going to play my favorite game-"Was It Worth It?"
For those who have remained true friends- Svetlana of Russia, Oliya of Moscow, Ian of Scotland, Rev. Arturi of Opus Dei, the Bontragers of CMA, my dad, Christopher of the Knights Templar, Rayvn of South Bend, Paul in New York, Anthony in Jersey, Stanley in California, and of course English Mike-I give my deepest love, loyalty, and respect. As for everyone else-see you soon!

Ex animo,
Ice

Adonis Passed His GED Exams, He Is Masking Good His Commitment To Improve Himself !!

Adonis is a friend of mine, who used to live with me for a bit.  Deep inside he has a kind heart and is caring. I helped get him involved in ABATE and wanted to share some of this with you and give you some idea of his plight.

Just some Prison Humor that
caught his attention and he forwarded onto me:

Kinda sad to mention that
much of it is "true".

I haven't added many pictures of him lately, here are a few for now...

Just visited him recently, doing fine, going to school. As he would say "same old, same old".
Tells me he would like to have a cat if he gets out soon.


I visited Adonis on December 23rd, He is doing fine and we had this picture taken of us in front of their Christmas Tree.
He told me that after my last visit one of the other inmates told him that his father looks a lot like him....

Another Visit with Robyn in May 2010

Just a few of the pictures from 2004

A TOAST By: Ice Some days seem to go by fast, Others way too slow, Regardless of which, on it still goes. I've been sitting here away, half of the night, Trying to figure out, the best thing to write. Something to toast the future, pay homage to the past. As I reminisce on days, of living life too fast. Remember Gino's, over in South Jersey, You said you like my suit, I said you looked real pretty. Eight months later, we went our separate ways. No matter how hard you tried, I just couldn't stay. But it's alright, yea it's okay, We has a shot, and we took it all the way. So here's to the future, and the past. We made our mistakes, but we sure had a blast. Thousands of people, from coast to coast. Looking for excitement, wanting one more show. Home was an empty hotel rooms for the weekend. Not knowing when it'd end, or remembering how it began. But it was alright, yea it was okay, I had a shot, and I took it all the way. I made my mistakes, but I sure did have a blast. This is for the friends, I've lost along the way, And for my wife, that I'll meet someday. Life is short, it should be lived to the fullest, In thirty years, I want to look back and say: "Yea, I did this." It'll be alright, yea it'll be okay. If we get a shot, we should take it all the way. We may make our mistakes, but will have a blast.
IMMORTAL LOVE By: ICE I shall call her love a gift of the ages, A masterpiece engraved upon life's pages. How is it that such grace befall the common man, Such elegance and style to never be witnessed again. To embrace her in the night till slumber comes to call, Would cause my heart to echo her name through eternity's hall. With flickering candles and champagne on ice, We shall glimpse into the majestic nature of paradise. Carnal instinct upon romance delight, A characteristic of nature by bounding a life. With actions words need not be said, For within the art of passion tonight our souls shall wed.		THE SHOW By: ICE Come on and let's go, The show is about to start, Never mind the sad parts, They're are only temporary, Things are never what they should be, Remember when you were young, Never had a care in the world, Now is that a boy or a girl. Dancing in a twisted masquerade, People are more plastic than cellophane. When we lived, We use to run these streets, Now you left it up to just me, But I'm caught in a vortex of time, Looking for a life outside of mine, Tumble down the rabbit hole, One more line and then I'll go, I hope you enjoyed the show.
"SO-CALLED LIFE" By: ICE Another lyric, literary life-line, A winged traveler, caught in the grasp of time, Stolen by fate, their lips are sealed, Try to turn away, but the pictures are real. --CHORUS-- I can't keep my eyes from the melting sky, Tongue-tied and twisted, I'm sick of this, so-called life. Misspoken secret, the world stands still, Can you tell me stranger, which reality is real, Azazel sits, his face forever in the dark, Try to be civilized, but animals are what you are. ---REPEAT CHORUS---		SUMMER OF '67 By: ICE Her name was Gypsy-Moon, She had raven hair, Even to this day, I can still see her standing there. With those flowers in her hand, And no shoes on her feet, The summer of '67 was so good to me. Papa Shroom had a shop, Down on Feel good Avenue, If you had no money, He would always still help you. One night Gypsy-Moon, Had just a little too much, There went my summer of love. -----CHORUS---- We miss you Jim and sweet Mamma Cass, Your gifts of music they will forever last. They taught us how to love and live as a friend, I know those flowers will bloom again. The colors dance and blended with the music, As she took my hand, Said "I know you're new to this," We fell in love, As we walked amongst the stars, '67 is a tattoo upon my heart. Now I lay awake, Staring up at the darkening sea, Often I wonder if, my Gypsy-Moon watches over me, We danced in sunsets, Quite like this one, Summer of '67 here I come. ---REPEAT CHORUS----

-Family, Friends, and Others -
It is hard to believe that on the 29th of this month (June), I shall officially be a college graduate. I will have obtained my Associate's Degree, and I have already begun classes towards my Bachelor's (which I should obtain in 24 months). Time goes by fast when you keep yourself busy with studies and the such.
Everything is going great. The organization which I have created is coming along as well as can be expected ( given my present situation) - I already have four employees, I am seeking out a publisher for this manuscript that I recently penned, and I am still alive (which I hear is a good thing in places such as this).
It has been brought to my attention that there is still some unintelligent prattle going on. It actually use to bother me, but it does not anymore. This is how I look at it:
You never uttered a disrespectful word when I was among you, but now that I am incased in steel and concrete, while being guarded by men with guns and dogs, you feel safe enough to open your mouths. So, please, speak until you are hoarse, should you so desire, because I know you will just go back to being quiet when I get out. Plus, I must be something special, if I have been gone for 6 years, and you are still talking about me. Remember what Scripture says though: "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
It does not bother me what anyone has to say, or even think, about me. When the day comes that you eat your Wheaties, and you get enough courage up to throw me a beating, then I may care what you have to say or think about me. But until that day comes, you can quite pretending that any word which comes from your mouths, has any significance to my existence.
In other news - Starting July, 2010, prison inmates will be afforded the opportunity to bail out of prison ; the prison managed to stand up against the tornado *sporting a sad face* ; I am still awaiting the decision on my transfer request - if granted, INDY here I come (New Castle Correctional Facility)! Other than that as I previously stated, everything is great.
Thank you for your correspondences, prayers, thoughts, donations, and even birthday cards (I think another grey hair just popped up. LoL)
I would also like to pay my respects to my awesome sister, at the tattoo shop on Mayflower Road in South Bend, and her crew (Red, Amanda, Joe, and their families). To the Christians - I would just like to say: "Keep fighting the good fight - In meditatione mea exardescit ignis pro tu." And of course, thank you to my brother English Mike, for his support, and making my updates to you guys possible.

Respectfully,

Adonis "ICEMAN" Rinker

I might mention that he has started school and is getting his GED. He even mentioned that he is thankful for the opportunities that he has gotten since he has been in prison, as he is also having major dental taken care of. I visited him of November 5th and he has actually grown his hair long enough to put it in a (very small) tail.
