julia
i'm back :)
how was valentines day?
so u live n the Netherlands? help me understand ? not a geography buff.sorry... what's the name of the
country ? i can do densely populated. it's y i got a single cell on a smaller unit . couldnt b around 117
dudes all day. 2 much yelling n screaming 4 my blood. so besides cleaning what do u do 2 make the
most of life?
speaking of cleaning had 2 do some yesterday . dropped a chili dog tray just outside my cell. so i went
all-spring cleaning mode,which is how i typically clean anyway .
old fashioned i liked to use the hand broom then get down on my hands n knees then get every nook n
cranny. these cell get pretty dusty.2 the point of being heavily populated with dust balls n gravel from
outside. i get slack 4 cleaning that way but its ok. one older guy n a wheelchair i had 2 take care of
thought i was degrading myself .he equated my method with being a slave:( but i assured him i clean
my cell thesame way n when i have a house it'll b the same .
down 2 30 seconds again gone write more tomorrow

yes thats a special history with the berlin wall. i recall watchingit b tore down ,seemingly brick by
brick,on 20/20 with barbara walters
so what countries have you been? what's ur favorite ?
yup! i knowbthe motherland is way prettier than potrayed on tv. n i know africa aint the only country

arab. take a closer look at the pyramids ! or the sphinx anyway i want 2 go 2 the poor villages in africa
2. loove their ingenuity . how they make huts,how they preserve stuff without a fridge,their rights f
