It is the 1st of May 2023, Music Video Monday here at C.U.C.F (Gunnison Unit). It has been rough lately; I’ve for a second time now had to come to grips with the fact I’ll die in here. The Parole Board denied my petition for commutation. Plus they are now refusing to sale any more arts and crafts items to us… my passion and only sanity. Idk… another 20 years plus of this place… No freaking way.
I’ve begun to work out pretty addictively again, it is hard to stop. I’m keeping it under four hours a day though. It helps me not to come unglued and say F-it! They’ve taken everything from us here. There is no longer a way to make a „life“ for oneself in here. Can’t even look at a picture of a woman.
Anyways, I will stop complaining. You know I went 9.5 years without touching grass or dirt? 2.5 of that was in solitary. I remember I got sun burnt for the first time in my life, when I could finally go outside! I spent 3 hours walking barefoot on the grass and laying on it! It felt so good!
Yes random story… It reminds me the simplest things can bring joy and that I’ve been through much worse in my life time…much much worse.
