Monday May 13, 2013 10:21 am. Got word this morning that Buck Olen Garby died. I hated to hear that. I like Buck. He alway's looked out for me when I was on D.C. He was 63 years old, born November 27, 1949. He got on the Row shortly after I did August 1991. He was up on the 3rd floor of S-wing above me. Gary is at the outside hospital and will probably die any day. Cnteen man came around earlier passing out new list. Prices have went up again. Keefe company is a bunch of crooks! All I've done this morning is write a couple of letters. We are also hearing the price of the music is going up to $2 a song. If that's the case, I won't be getting anymore music. We're already paying too much at $1.70 a song. Not sure what all I'm going to do today. I need to finish an art project and write a letter.

1:24 pm. The guys just went to rec. Sgt said he's going to come back and ge me. I'll believe it when I see it. I'm ready if he does come. I would like to go out, it's really nice outside. I got my razor on Friday. Nice to be able to shave again. I'm looking forward to seeing Mom Saturday. I hope she's having a safe trip. That's a long drive. Well guess I'll get bact to this art and go from there.

2:58 pm. I didn't get to go out. The officers brought cab back in from rec and took him over to medical R-Dorm. The doctor wants to keep him up there because of the chemo drugs that he's on. I haven't accomplished anything. I need to write a letter.

Tuesday May 14, 2013 4:42 am. Been up since 3:30. Cleaned the cell, washed up, been watching the news. Received several positive responses from ministries last night so I'm going to be writing them.

10:47 am. Just got word that another death warrant was signed yesterday. Kosta. I did not want to hear that. So there's 3 guys on death watch now. This is not good. I've known Kosta since I first got here. He was the master mind behind that plan. His sister will probably be coming over from Greece to see him before they kill him.

12:13 pm. Was just watching the news. It wasn't Kosta who got his warrant signed, it was Gore. Got to try to find out more. Guy's come back with partial information and bad information. We're hearing the Governor wants to kill 2 guys a month. This capital punishment, murdering the poor is just a mess. But it is a good fix at getting rid of the poor. Well I'm fixing to get back to writing.

2:01 pm. MP3-man just picked up the players. Hopefully he doesn't keep them very long. I've just been messing around with some art passing time. I was hoping they would come fix my light today. It's stuck on, but their working on the front door so I don't think my cell light is on the top of their list.

5:01 pm. MP3-man brought the players back. The computer was not working. I'm fixing to lay down and call it a day.

Wednesday May 15, 2013 8:42 am. Just been writing. I wrote a pastor who I've now exchanged letters with twice. I also learned this morning that it's Marshall Gore whose on death watch and set for June 24. Billy van Pouck is set for June 12, and Elmer for May 29. And we're hearing from this point on theres going to be 2 executions a month. So Rick Scott has decided to start spitting bodies out. What a mad mad world, and one day I'll take my turn in Florida's death chamber. I've been up since 2 am. I'm going to write one more letter and then do some art.

11:20 am. They just called recreation. I don't know if I'll get to go or not. I won't know until they show up. We were suppose to get canteen today. I doubt it now that they called recreation.

3:52 pm. The guy's just come back in from rec. We got our canteen before they went out. The guys on the other side weren't so lucky. The officers told them get your canteen or go to rec. But that's the way it is. I've just been doing art and passing time. Waiting on dinner right now. Something's going on in that dorm across from us. They just took an inmate out on a gurney and theres alot of white shirts. It's captains and wardens so something major has went down over there. That's a close management dorm and there's always's madness in them CM dorms. I also read earlier that theres 13 guys through with cemency whose death warrants can be signed right now. So that's enough to keep this Governor signing 2 warrants a month for the rest of the year. I don't know the names, the article didn't say. This is fixing to be a mess. Alot of men that I know are fixing to die. It's depressing and Rick Scott professes himself a Christian, follower of Christ. Yes and if he's a Christian, I'm Christ, and we all know I'm not Christ and he's no Christian! Just another individual perpertrating a fraud in the name of Christ. I'm thinking about writing him a letter about all of this killing. Humans are sick, sad but true.

4:56 pm. Just finished eating. Fixing to lay back, watch some news, wash clothes, wait on showers and call it a day. Maybe I'll get rec tomorrow.

May 16, 2013 Thursday 7:32 am. Got up at 4:00 am. Cleaned up and then started working on a card. Waiting to see if they come get me for recreation, if not I'm going to do some writing.

10:27 am. Just finished a card. Wrote a couple of ministries earlier. All prison ministries. I'm hoping to go out this afternoon. Have to wait and see if they want to pull me or not. I hat to start filing grievances to get rec. It's nice outside and I'd sure like to get out of here today. Get some sun and some fresh air. Got a letter from Mom last night. She will be here Sunday, not on Saturday. Elmer has 13 days to live. That's got to be rough sitting over there on death watch with two other guys and if your the last in line, your having to sit there, watch two individuals die before you. It's a helpless feeling when your over there and men you know are dying and you can't do anything to stop it. So imagine your in a cell, they come for you, and you can do nothing to defend yourself. You've sat for week's counting down the day's, and now your counting down hours and now minutes. Your about to die and theres nothing you can do about it but to submit to their will, allow them to kill you. Cause that's what their going through over there. No matter what they have done, a civilized society that murders it's citizen's (and in some cases it is unjustifiable homicide, where they have murdered the wrongly convicted) is anything but civilized. Kill to say killing isn't right. Why don't we rape to prove raping is wrong. If the murderer should be murdered, then shouldn't the rapist be raped? Committing wrong for wrong, do to me as I do unto you. Feed sickness with sickness and infect society for violence breeds violence!

3:55 pm. They didn't take me to rec. Maybe I'll get it tomorrow. I wrote a pastor and then did some art work. It's been an uneventful day. I'm waiting on dinner. We got hot dogs. After I eat, I'll wash clothes, watch the news and call it a day. I hope to get some mail tonight. There's a few pastor's that I wrote that I'm hoping to hear from. I'm also going to send a request out tonight to try to get my regular recreation back. Well I'm going to do some more art until the food gets here.

4:47 pm. Just finished eating and now I'm washing clothes, bathing and calling it a day.
