Wednesday November 21, 2012 5:44am: Here we are, another day on Florida's fabulous death row. Not! Yep, another day to try to pass away. I'm going to clean my cell here shortly, shave, watch CBS News and then either start a letter or work on a card. I received a couple of letters last night. Mail didn't come until 11:30. Not sure what that was about. Well, I need to get to it.
10:55am: Just been messing around with some art. I started a letter this morning, and was getting some Christmas cards addressed. The psychologist Mr. Byrd just made his rounds. The guys down here will get to go to recreation this afternoon. I still can't go, as we all know due to the moronic a** unethical criminal lowlife warden that just left. Sorry a** punk. And every day, that they run yard, and I can't go out, then I'm going to remind everyone what a sorry a** unethical punk of a warden we had. B****! Well, I'm just waiting on lunch now.
2:36pm: I talked with a captain earlier about getting off this heightened security. He said it's up to the colonel. And I may have to be D.R. free 6 to 8 months. That sucks. 'Cause the last D.R. I received was because they smuggled weapons into a maximum security Death Row housing unit just to set me up with a fraudulent D.R., unethical b****s! Everyone else is on the yard right now. I'm going to sit here, listen to some music and work on this card.

Thursday November 22, 2012 6:42am: Thanksgiving Day. Just another day in here. It's like a Saturday or Sunday. I just finished washing clothes, made my bunk and cleaned my cell. I didn't get a single letter last night. :( I'll spend the next few days getting some Christmas cards ready to go out for next week. I have a couple of letters that I need to write. I also need to write a couple of attorneys. So that'll keep me busy over the next four days. Plus I've got to finish up a card. I'm working on a kitten, and it's coming out really nice. I'm going to watch football this afternoon. Right now I need to shave and get going.
1:02pm: Just sitting here watching the football game. Det + Houston. I'm hoping Detroit wins. I got a letter written this morning, and then worked on a card. I'm fixing to lay back and relax.
4:53pm: Just watching some football, listening to my music and fixing to write a letter. Dinner still hasn't come. For lunch we had processed turkey, dressing cranberry, green beans, yams and punkin pie. None of it was large portions, and it wasn't very good. Them guys in the kitchen are rotten cooks. I did get in a food package today, last one, 'cause we can no longer get them in. So I just had me a beef stew.

Friday November 23, 2012 6:10am: I didn't get up until 5:08. Ate breakfast, cleaned up, and going to do the usual 6:30 CBS News, 7am Good Morning America, and start writing, or getting to work on another card. I finished a kitten yesterday on a card. The best one I've ever done. I need to get some more Christmas cards ready to go out next week. I'm fixing to have me a cup of coffee and write my mom.
4:23pm: Just sitting here waiting on dinner. I'm going to take a few vegetables off the tray to use for my stew that I have heating up over here. I've been watching some football. I took a nap about 1:30. I did some work on a card and put it up, before that I started a letter to my mom. I'll be glad when I get my shower and go to sleep. For lunch I made some burritos, they were pretty good. I need to wash some clothes and trim my hair before showers. These idiots up at the front of this wing are noisy as hell. I'm glad I don't live up there. I'm in cell #15 at the back, the very end cell. I'm hearing that on the north side of the building they have officers stealing jewelry and canteen items.

Saturday November 24, 2012 7:37am: Woke up this morning feeling like sh**! Thoughts of death, suicide, typical depression. I hate feeling like this. Just got to get busy and try to get my mind on other things. Waking up in this cage is rough. Not sure what I'm going to do. I'll finish writing my mom, finish working on this card, or at least do some work on it before football comes on. I'm out of a lot of different colors of paint, so I don't have a lot to work with. And good paints are hard to come by. I'm fixing to eat some oatmeal and then clean the floor and get started on this letter or card.
5:13pm: It's half time at the FLA FLA state game, all I've been doing is watching the games. I wrote Mom this morning, then Anne, and worked on a card. I'm not finished with it. Might finish it tomorrow or Monday. I need to find a printer to print my cards for me, and one that's not expensive. I need to get me some more art supplies. This will probably be the last card that I do until I get some more art supplies. Well, I'm going to lay back, watch the rest of this game, then some of the N.D. USC game before I go to sleep. Just another day on Florida's Death Row.

Sunday November 25, 2012 7:04am: It's a bit chilly in here this morning. I'm having a cup of coffee and trying to decide what I should do next. I still need to shave and clean the floor. Well, it's been three weeks that I've been without a light in this cell. Last night I had a dream about Christians trying to talk to me about the bible and trying to explain the problems that I have with the text. I have that dream a lot. I need to get going. I've got to write a couple of request slips.
5:23pm: Just laying here watching football, passing the day away. I haven't accomplished anything, and I'm fixing to lay back down and call it a day and put my mail on the door.
