Things have been okay for the past
couple of days. It very well could be the calm before the storm, but perhaps
not. I am hoping that not too many attempt making ‘hooch’ (prison alcohol) for
New Year’s Eve. That whole thing typically turns out badly. All I can do is
wait and see. As you can imagine, an environment filled with drunken,
testosterone storming inmates, especially those who have brains the size of a
fruit fly… is not a good thing. Most of us end up running for cover.
It’s hard for me to believe that 2013
is almost here. It’s bittersweet to know that I have chipped away so many years
of this sentence. Looking back is not easy because it’s insane when I consider
all that I have been through. Looking ahead is really all I can do now. I have
basically five years left on my sentence but I can still vividly remember day 1
of it. I doubt I will ever forget it. I know that I should feel lucky for
having made it this far, but I do not. I truly feel that it has nothing to do
with luck. It has everything to do with how successful one can be at adapting
and playing the ‘game’.
Then I will look over the wall and see
John. I try to imagine being in his shoes. How would I feel having a release
date of 2038?
I wonder how I would handle that?
