PRISON UPDATE!!! Hello Everyone,

I thought that it seemed fitting for an update of sorts... considering that there isn't much that goes on here (new), I thought I would just give you guys a quick glimpse into the reality that is called 'prison'.

Aside from this being my 8-week anniversary here... nothing new ever happens. Each day is a repeat of the same monotonous routine... wake up, go to work, eat lunch, go back to work, leave work, eat dinner, and then sleep. Now in between all of those individual happenings is a lengthy period of NOTHINGNESS.

Let me define 'nothingness': a situation or happenstance in which there is nothing to do

Now, this prison is filled with nothingness. For example: weekends. Now, I consider anything over 10 hours of sleep part of nothing. On the weekends, you can sleep as much as you want. From the time you lay down on Friday night, until Monday morning at 6AM, you can sleep, if you so choose (and people do). The thing that is the worst about the whole situation, is that I can only sleep no more than 8-10 hours, and if I nap during the day, that gets subtracted from my nighttime slumber... so I am SOL. But, if I try hard, and I mean real hard, I can normally find something to occupy my time.

A prison 'friend' lent me a book called 'The Abs Diet'. Now this book is from the editor of Men's Health, and it is all about training for a 6-pack, and core strength. The reason the book is so good (here), is that the author must have spent some time in prison (I doubt he really did though), because each workout can be manipulated to work in the prison setting. Genius at its finest. So I started that last week, and I am working towards gaining my 6-pack back. I have 94 days left, and I feel it is highly attainable.

In other words, when I come back home, I plan on bringing a lot of SEXY BACK (if you catch my drift).

Anyways, enough with all of this. I will let you all return to your non-prison lives... and I will return to hell.

Take Care,

PRISON UPDATE!!! Hello All

--Sunday, April 1st has a little bearing on me today. A few years ago today, my grandfather died... and I sit here thinking about what he would think of me now... in his eyes, would I be the strong youngman I am sure he hoped I'd be? or would I fit the description of a misguided youth striving to find a path clouded by bad decisions? Or, would I be a good soul, plagued by bad decisions, but still the man he knew I would become? All of those questions can't ever be answered... but still, I wonder.

--I had a visit today from my girlfriend and my parents (and the kids)... and it was wonderful... they came at about 11ish, and stayed til almost 2 (the kids were pretty tired). It was a good visit... but that lonely walk back to my unit is the worst. It envelops everything about you... from the good times you once had, to the bad times ahead... it reinforces the fact that no matter who you know, you are always alone.

--Also, I got a new roommate (bunkmate)... he is a festively plump Spanish man, who happens to be the worlds loudest snorer... now let me give you a vivid image of how loud this man is: Its a bright sunny morning... birds singing, water from the stream is rushing against the banks, and a chubby Spanish fellow is happily sleeping in the bottom bunk, in a bed located in a small federal prison... now his roommate on the top bunk, lies sleepily above him, focusing on his quest for slumber... but his quest is never fulfilled... his dream of a night of botherless sleep has been shattered by the rumbling sound of his plump friends ear piercing snores... a rumbling compared to that of a passing train or the take off a jetplane right as it begins its groundless journey... the sounds of hell to a tired man.

--Other than all of that... there is nothing new to report. I just wait for the end of my 3 and a half month stay here... wishing that each day could inch by faster and faster.

Keep me in your thoughts everyone,
