Thursday November 1, 2012 7:33am: Just finished washing clothes. Cleaned the cell. Now I'm going to write my mom, while I watch Capital Update to see if I can find out more about Manny and the date they have him scheduled for. Canteen should be here this morning. They did 4 and 5 Wing here yesterday. I only received one letter last night and that was from my mom. My sinuses are still messed up and dealing with light headaches, but other than that this cold is behind me. So I'm going to get to this letter and then do some painting.
11:50am: Well, I just got back from seeing Inspector Hall who used to be a sgt here in our property room back in 2008-09, and now he's allegedly investigating his comrades. Yeah - straight cronyism! This was a joke and a fraudulent investigation just to say they did something. Oh well. Shouldn't expect any more.
4:57pm: Just finished eating dinner. I heard some rumors that at Apalachee Correctional Institution (ACI) that there's a lot of inmate on inmate murders going on. I'm not sure how true this is, but maybe someone should contact the media and have them investigate this. Well, I'm fixing to finish working on a painting and watch some news, and call it a day.

Friday November 2, 2012 6:50am: Just sitting here watching the CBS World News. I've already cleaned my cell and washed some clothes. I'm feeling that the officers are going to be down here shaking down today. After I spoke with Inspector Hall, what does he do but go back into the administrator's office. I don't trust these people, all of them have their heads up each other's a**. I'm fixing to eat and think about what to do, write a letter, or formal complaint to Chief Inspector General's Office.
11:48am: The assistant warden came walking by earlier, and wanted everyone sitting on their bunks. You've got a lot of guys complaining - but they're not going to do anything but whine and cry about this. I'm not going to get involved in any of that, 'cause I'm not going to be the lone idiot standing there fighting for change. I got a feeling there's going to be a lot more nonsense like this, but - it is what it is and I'm not touching it. Go under my music and mind my own business.

Saturday November 3, 2012 6:41am: I'm getting ready to eat breakfast here in a few minutes. Coffee cake and oatmeal. I took my food off the tray, put it in a bowl and eat when I get hungry. I've already cleaned the cell and washed clothes. Right now they just started cell clean up. I don't think they have any supplies other than brooms and mops and I don't put that nasty crap in my cell. I use a rag to clean my floor.
1:14pm: I got some writing done this morning, a little bit of painting. I also spent some time working on some new stationery. Right now I'm watching the Oklahoma Sooners, which is one of my college teams, the other is Florida and Miami Hurricanes. Well, I'm going to lay back and relax and watch the game.

Sunday November 4, 2012 6:21am: Here we are, another day, and it's started off screwed up. I turned the light on, the switch broke. My razor wouldn't work. Just a bad start to the day. Yesterday some new Captain came through here at dinner stating you need a hair cut. One of them idiots that want to run a concentration camp. My hair, I've worn this way for 22 years. It's in compliance with 33-602.101 care of inmates, which states inmates will keep their hair cut short to medium length, which consists of them keeping it off the collar and ears. Which I comply with. I'd like to have told him to read and learn the rules. But I just didn't comment on his ignorance of the rules. I just left it alone. I'm going to write a letter this morning, and then do some painting. I'll get to see the Dolphins play at 1pm, so I want to have everything finished and put away by then, which means I need to get to work right now.
10:30am: just sitting here working on a painting. I've got to wait for the paint to dry before I can do any more. Still haven't heard what date they have Manny Pardo scheduled for. It's strange that there's been nothing on this. I'm over on PBS 5.1 WUFT watching Capital Update right now, seeing if they say anything about it.
5:52pm: Well, I'm about to call it a day. Fixing to wash some clothes and then lay back and watch the news, then 60 Minutes, The Amazing Race and go to bed. Another day on Florida's death row, and Manny is one day closer to being killed by his fellow man under the fraudulent concept of justice. Yeah - right.
