Daily Journal
March 15-17, 2013

Friday March 15, 2013 5:49am: I woke up at 3am. I got back to sleep and slept till 5. Made the bunk, still got to clean the floor. Here you see my new Daily Journal stationery. Just got that back last night. I got 2 letters in, Mom + Dina, so I'll write them this morning. The MP3-man came around at 6pm last night, I never seen him come so late. I'm fixing to clean the floor, have a cup of coffee and start writing.
8:06am: Just finished a letter. Fixing to write another one. For some reason our regular wing officers left. I don't like that at all. Not sure why they left either. I don't like when things change.
10:02am: I just stopped my classification officer and talked to her about this heightened security. She's doing everything she can to help me get off of it. We're waiting for a new captain to come over. I'm still writing, at 12pm I'm going to watch basketball.
10:38am: Canteen #5 clothing came. I got me a pair of shorts and boots. The boots will be to play basketball in, if I ever play.
11:38am: They just served lunch. It's all nasty. I gave it away. I'll eat me a soup later on. I just finished a letter to my dad.
1:01pm: It's half time, Miami looks bad. I just hope they can pull out a win. Just finished eating a ramen noodle soup. I was messing around coloring in the top Daily Journal. I think it looks better like that. I should have done it from the start. I haven't done any serious artwork in over a week. I'm starting to burn out on it. It would be different if my work would sell. After this Miami game I'm going to look at doing some push ups and cardio. I'm going to write a couple of cards.
2:14pm: Miami just won, I enjoyed that game. I also got a card ready to go out to Liberation Prison Project. Right now I'm going to walk, listen to music and see where I go from there.
4:27pm: I just finished writing Brother Otto, my Christian friend. He's a really good guy. Also ate dinner, it was better than that nasty lunch. I walked for about an hour. I didn't do anything else. Fixing to walk for another 30 minutes, then watch some news and wait on the shower. It'll be 8pm or later before I get to the shower. Time to walk.

Saturday March 16, 2013 5:18am: Waiting on breakfast. Should be here anytime. I'll heat it all up before I eat. I got one letter in last night from Anne. I'll write her and one other letter today, watch some basketball and see what else today holds.
8:11am: Finished writing Anne. I seen on the news where Maryland is giving up on murdering their citizens with the machinery of death capital punishment. Larry has 25 days to live. Hope he's okay. Well, I'm fixing to start another letter.
8:44am: Just had to stop writing to get some cleaning supplies. I cleaned the cell again. Now back to this letter.
10:28am: Just been sitting here watching the CBS Morning Show, listening to music and working on some new stationery. This is hummingbirds, which was Sherry's favorite. Hard to believe she's gone. But we all will eventually leave this world and body behind. I'm going to make a casserole for lunch using the food on the tray and a ramen soup and cheese spread from the canteen. I haven't made one in awhile. They are good. Right now I need to get back to this stationery. No - I'm going to walk for awhile until lunch.
12:05pm: Just finished eating. It was good. I'm watching basketball. I messed up this stationery. I'm not going to send it out to get copied. I'll use it to write on one time and post. One of the guys just went out to visit.
3:22pm: Just finished watching the Miami Hurricanes win. :) Not sure what I'm going to do now. That Born Losers that I missed the other day is on again at 5:30. I may go watch that. Then again I may work on this stationery. I do believe I'll send the hummingbirds out to be copied.
4:30pm: Just finished eating. I was messing around with this heart stationery, but it didn't come out good. I was using these cheap color pencils. I need some more paint. My eyesight is getting really bad, and this artwork isn't helping. This idiot down the hall is sitting watching TV and giggling like a schoolgirl and getting on my nerves. I'm fixing to lay down and call it a day. I've got to wash clothes first.

Sunday March 17, 2013 4:36am: Been up since 3am. Just couldn't get back to sleep. Have about another hour till breakfast. I'm listening to my music, having a cup of coffee, trying to decide what I'm going to do. Made my bunk, I need to wipe the floor down and then either write or work on some new stationery.
5:40am: Finished eating, that is our best breakfast, eggs, grits, potatoes and biscuits. Cleaned the floor and started a letter. I'm going to work on part II later today of How The Bible Destroyed My Faith. I was going to make it about the contradictions in the Resurrection, but instead part II is going to be about the unfulfilled prophecy of Matthew 12:40. Well, back to this letter.
8:54am: Finished a letter, wrote a card and I have a chicken stew cooking for lunch. I used a chicken dinner, ramen soup, rice and beans and the potatoes off the breakfast tray. Those chickens are good, but just expensive, $6.75. I'm back and forth on what to cover on part II. I was looking at that earlier. There's a lot of work in either one. Well, I'm going to get back to this piece of stationery, then I'll see where I go from there. More art, writing, who knows.
10:37am: Here you see a piece of stationery that I won't be copying. I'm working on a piece now that's coming out nice. I need to get back to it, finish it up and get it out of here tonight to get it copied. I just stopped a few minutes ago to eat. That chicken stew was really good.
1:37pm: I'm just watching the race and the FLA Old Miss game. That's what I'll be doing for the next few hours.
3:24pm: Hurricanes won :). FLA lost :(. And Danica is not doing good at all :(. I'm tired and about ready to go to sleep. I'm very tired. Going to finish watching the Race.
5:04pm: The race wasn't that good. I lost interest when Danica fell behind, so I started working on a card of a bird. I have the NBA on, but I'm not really watching it. Fixing to wash clothes, wash up, get in bed and call it a day. Tomorrow I'll go back to work on this card and some stationery. I really need to start exercising. I've managed to waste away another day on Florida's Death Row. And if you're reading this, Mom, I love you with all my heart!
