Daily Journal
February 1-10, 2013

Friday February 1, 2013 7:44am: Just finished a letter to Dina. I got in 3 letters last night. The other two were from my mom and dad, so I'll be writing them shortly. Last night I also got in comments that were printed out on January 8, one of them is to Scott who did a post called Weeds and Flowers, so I'll send that back to BTB Monday. There was only two comments that I'll respond to. I decided to take Dina's advice and not respond or even read the comments of the mentally ill. Just feeds their sickness. After I finish these letters, I'm going to work on some new stationery. I'm going to go lighter, get away from the skulls. I'm doing a raccoon to go with a tiger. I need to get to it and see how today otherwise unfolds.
2:21pm: Just been working on a couple of pieces of art. I don't know if I'll be blogging over here on Between the Bars much longer, 'cause I don't know why my stuff's not being posted. Either way, I'll have some new stationery for either BTB or my next blog. I wrote Dad. I still have to write Mom, Anne and a couple of other letters. I've got enough to keep me busy tomorrow and Sunday. Plus I want to put together some more stationery. I have a couple of designs I want to try. Well, I need to get back to it.
5:24pm: I spent most of the day doing artwork. Fixing to wash some clothes and then sit back and wait on showers. This new sgt we have on night shift runs showers fast. Which I like. After shower, I'm going to sleep, see what tomorrow holds.

Saturday, February 2, 2013 8:10am: I wrote my mom and my cuz, I've got some other letters to write and some artwork to do. I want to get some nicer stationery done. I'm going to get away from some of this darker stuff. I found out that Paul Howell is scheduled to die on February 26, 2013. He now has 24 days left to live. Well, I'm going to go get to this artwork.
5:12pm: Just finished eating. I took the food off the tray and heated it up. I got the raccoon stationery finished. That came out nice. I have a tiger that will be on one side and the raccoon on the other. I just hope that I'll have somewhere to blog and post them. I'm not sure what's going on with BTB. I also got another letter written. I'm fixing to wash clothes and then lay down and call it a day. I've been up since 2:30am. That's been my day, just another day on the row, see what tomorrow holds.

Superbowl Sunday February 3, 2013 8:29am: I woke up late. I didn't get up until 5am. I have a scratchy throat. I hope I'm not fixing to get sick. I just finished a letter. I need to write another one, a couple of organizations. I need to work on some more stationery. Later today I'm going to lay back and watch the Superbowl. Guess I'll get to it. Nothing to it, but to do it.
3:25pm: Got three hours till the Superbowl. I'm sitting here listening to my music, doing some artwork, just passing time. I feel my sore throat getting worse. I hope I don't get sick. I just hope this is a good game. I really don't care who wins.

Monday February 4, 2013 9:02am: That was a pretty good Superbowl. I got up at 4:30am, went through my daily rituals of washing up and cleaning the cell. Then wrote a letter. And I've been doing some new stationery, which I'm fixing to get back to work on soon. I need to write a few more organizations about help in running a new blog. I hope to find someone.
2:36pm: Just finished up a new piece of stationery. I was walking, pacing back and forth trying to decide what to do next. I'm hoping to see the doctor tomorrow for the Prozac. I'll be glad to get my shower tonight, come back, get in bed and go to sleep. Guess I'll walk some more.

Tuesday February 5, 2013 8:28am: Just finished working on a piece of stationery. Before that I wrote Brother Otto. I'm fixing to write to a couple of organizations. I got up at 4:00am, cleaned the cell and they also brought around cleaning supplies. Well, I'm going to get back to writing.
12:45pm: Just been writing to some orgs and working on some art. The guys are going to recreation here soon. I still can't go. And Warden Reddish is still an unethical jackass! This sore throat didn't turn into anything serious. I'm glad of that. I don't want to get a cold or the flu. I guess I'll get back to this artwork. I'm having to stay under the earbuds, 'cause this idiot down the hall is singing. Sounds like an American Idol reject. One of those who try to sing, but can't sing a lick.
3:51pm: Just finished writing a letter to one of the orgs over in the Netherlands. When the guys were going to rec my cell door was opened again. That seems to be the regular thing. They all just came back in. I'm waiting on dinner, after that I'm going to wash clothes and lay down, watch some TV and go to sleep. Hope to wake up to get some mail. Another day on the row.

Wednesday February 6, 2013 8:54am: Just sitting here having a cup of coffee. I've written two letters this morning. I have one more to write. Canteen is supposed to be here this afternoon. Got that to look forward to. I got up at 4am. Watched the news, washed up, made the bunk. I'm waiting on sheet exchange now. Not sure what all I'll do today.
5:29pm: Just finished a card. I'm sending some stationery out tonight to have copied. It'll be a few weeks before I get them back. I haven't done much today. I did some work on this stationery. We didn't get canteen because some officer screwed the count up, so at 2pm they had master count. I heard this warden is retiring in a couple of months. I hate to hear that. She seems fair and runs this place 100 times better than that of B.V. Reddish. I don't agree with women working in men's prisons or men in women's prisons, but it's going to happen. Well, tomorrow is my 23 year of being incarcerated in this hell hole. Tom is still up front in medical doing the same. They said he only had two weeks to live, that was about 2 weeks ago. That's guesswork. In July they told Bruno he had a year to live without chemo, and he died in October. So they don't know. Tom has a brain tumor. Well, fixing to get ready for the shower, which won't be until 7:30, 8pm, but I'm going to watch some TV until then. Maybe I'll get some mail.

Thursday, February 7, 2013 7:49am: Today makes my 23rd year of incarceration. It's been a long ride. Had I took the plea bargain, I'd be getting out of prison in 2 more years. But a 21 year old kid can't see 25 years, and especially not when he's suicidal. That's why I thought it was funny when they threatened to kill me. I've been up since 4am. Cleaned the cell, watched the news and since then I've been writing a letter, listening to the music. That sore throat is gone, but I've picked up a cough. I hope it doesn't get any worse. Canteen should be here this morning. Our regular wing sgt isn't here today. That sucks. Twenty three (23) years! Damn! I see that date and it just hits me. I didn't get any mail last night. I did get a request slip back from the warden where I'm asking for that polygraph test. She sent it to the institutional inspector, so I'm reading a request to them tonight. And if they deny it I'm going to file a grievance. It's the only way to prove that Warden Reddish reprised against me in an unethical, unlawful manner. 'Cause he's a bitch! Lowlife punk. Well, I think I'm going to do some art.
12:02pm: My neighbor is out getting a clemency hearing right now. This is not good. He could be the next one signed up and executed. They don't give death row inmates clemency. I hate to see them get him. He's a really laid back guy. That friggin' idiot down the hallway and his attempts at trying to sing is getting on my nerves. Some should take that MP3 player and slam it.
2:34pm: The MP3 guy came around about 12:30, and still hasn't brought it back. That's what I'm waiting on now, I should get ten songs.
4:34pm: Just been sitting here listening to my new music. He showed back up at about 3:30pm. I got some nice songs. My favorite two out of these 9 is Bust a Move by Young MC and Bawitdaba by Kid Rock. I'm fixing to eat and then wash clothes, lay back and watch some news and call it a day. Maybe I'll get some mail tonight.

Friday February 8, 2013 8:28am: Just been walking back and forth listening to music for the past hour. I've been up since 2:30. I wrote one letter, started another one. I have an 11:30 call out to see my attorney. I got in 3 letters last night. So I'll be writing the other letter and a half today, and just passing the day the best I can. Canteen should show up sometime today. Right now I'm going to go back to walking for awhile.
10:45am: Canteen came at 9am. I didn't get everything. The woman who scans the items doesn't always do the best job. Right now I'm just listening to my music and waiting on this call out. I should be going out in another 30 minutes or so. Well, I'm going to walk.
2:17pm: Just been sitting here writing. I'm fixing to get up and walk. I went out and seen my attorney. Nothing new is happening. Just waiting on this judge to rule on my federal habeas.
4:09pm: We just finished eating. They took 8 minutes to pass it out and pick it up. There was something on that tray that was rotten, so I took the sausage and bread off and dumped the rest of it. Should be showering in about 2 1/2 hours. I'm going to walk for a bit and then lay back and watch the news. I still have two letters started that I need to finish.

Saturday February 9, 2013 8:29am: Just finished scrubbing down the cell, walls, bars, floors, everything. Before that I wrote one letter and finished up another one. I'm fixing to start another letter here shortly. Dina said my stuff is getting posted, so I'm going to go ahead and start sending post back to Between the Bars until I can get set up somewhere else. I was also told that someone (SAH) made allegations that I have 9 murders. Well, clearly they are unsolved murders therefore someone needs to contact the FBI and FDLE, give them this blog address, so they can like up, find SAH and question her concerning these 9 murders that she has information about. I'm sure the FBI and FDLE would love this information. Seriously, if you're reading this, contact the FBI and FDLE so they can investigate SAH and the murder allegations. Well, I'm going to go do some writing.
5:30pm: Well, fixing to call it a day. I wrote several letters and did some artwork. Now I'm going to watch some news and then go to sleep.

Sunday February 10, 2013 6:30am: Just finished a letter to my mom. I'm not sure what I'm going to do today. At 12:30 I'm going to watch the NBA. My cell's cleaned, bunk's made, now got to find out what to do next. I think I'm going to do some walking and listen to music.
1:10pm: I spent the morning getting a couple of cards ready to go out. Then did some artwork. I seen how people where people were dogging out one of the Green Bay Packers cheerleaders on the Internet. And the people that did that are some sick ass SOB. Probably the same ones who get on my blog making comments. That just pisses me off that a so called civilized human race would do that to that girl. Right now I'm just watching some basketball. Paul is down to 16 days to live. Some of the people I've been writing have been writing him. I hope he's doing the best he can. In 14 days I'll be 6 months DR free and be reviewed for this heightened security to be lifted. But I have Anne helping push for me to get a polygraph to prove Warden B.V. Reddish and his henchmen falsified state documents, destroyed property, assaulted me and committed other unlawful acts to reprise against me for writing about the DUI rumors. Well, I'm going to listen to music and watch the game. I'm only interested in the Miami Heat.
4:44pm: It's half time in the game. I just finished eating. I'm fixing to wash clothes, watch the 2nd half of the game. Then I'll catch the world news. ABC World News then CBS then America's Funniest Video and then I'm going to sleep. Just another boring day on Florida's Death Row.
