Saturday...Pretty good day. I got to see both of my kids today. They are so cute. Landon is a handful but he is my little buddy. Tay is getting so big and smart. She starts kindergarten next month. I get back from the visits and it is weird to be back in the section. It's like two different lives. I really just want to go home. It's not fair to my kids to have me in here.
I went out to the yard from 6:30 -7:30 and just walked the track and did push ups. I'm really sick of being in here and doing the same thing over and over all the time. Really would like to start my life again.

The last few days the TV's have been down in the section and it's been going so slow. It's crazy how much of a time killer TV is. I guess that's good and bad.
We tested today and the tests were easy, tomorrow we do our drill cadence thing instead of on Thursday. I can't wait till it's over. Next track I have to take thinking for a Change and it's from 5-7 p.m. So that's going to take up a majority of my night.

All right, I made it to Thursday. We had our Drill yesterday and we did okay. We took 1st place! So we won a day off next Monday. It's the first time that section B has won so the whole section was pretty excited.
I finished the tests yesterday and didn't get one question wrong. I signed up to facilitate some classes next track. And on tuesday I go to register for some productive lasses...probably music theory and sports nutrition. they used to show P90X videos but now they do the Insanity ones instead.
Well they got the TVs fixed today. they changed the movie channels to digital so now I'll be able to see them without static.
My celly, Brock Jr. is rolling up his stuff right now. He has court tomorrow so he gets to spend the weekend in A-West (point of the mt prison) Should be good times...
Since we tested yesterday they let us watch movies today. They showed Shawshank redemption. it was crazy how accurate that movie is. the cells and prison life was spot on. then we watched the Natural with Robert Redford. Not a big fan of his, so I snuck upstairs to my bunk and took a nap. I'll write more later.

Saturday. We bought a movie and popcorn with the HOPE points we had and they showed Balboa, Rocky #6. I have seen it before but it was good so I watched it again. There is a line in there that I liked, He (Rocky) said, "It doesn't matter how hard you can hit, it matters how hard you can take a hit and keep moving forward." There is a guy who is 52, his name is Steve Young, not that Steve Young. But he went to court this week on a burglary case that he has been fighting for almost a year and they offered him two 1-15's run consecutively, so back to back, his expiration date that he is on right now is 2019, so with 30more years added on to that , he would be what around 91??? YIKES> and I'm complaining about 7 more months.
I stayed up kind of late last night, til 12:00 and watched Jimmy Fallon. I like him because he really makes me laugh out loud. He is really really, funny. Well, tomorrow I hope that I get to see my family. It breaks up the week and I enjoy seeming them.

Monday...Labor day...My mom and dad, jana, Josh and Tay came and saw me. The two hours went really fast.
Tay sat on my lap the whole time and my right leg felt bruised. She kept moving around and bouncing on it. But I'm not complaining. I'm grateful that I get to see her. I really like visits. It gives me a charge for the following week.
WEll the new term starts tomorrow. I have to wake up early and then go register for classes, so I can have a 40 hour productive schedule. I wish they had college instead of these stupid Micky Mouse classes. Although, I did learn alot about my marriage in Saving Marriage. I can apply it to my next "temple Marriage".
I have been using the weights. It's just a bunch of cables, but it's better than nothing. But I'm sore! I thought that I was still in OKAY shape but the pushups and pull up's weren't cutting it. It's good to be sore. I've been been giving my bread away and trading my cakes and cookies and I've lost alot of fat. I have my six pack back and I feel a lot better. Although I do miss the cookie and cake we have daily.
They are showing movies over to the term break and they were showing Armageddon today. I'm not sure why but at the end when Bruce Willis stays back and is talking to his daughter I always tear up and today it wasn't any different. At the end I started tearing up...What IS THIS salty discharge on my cheek? ANyway, I do love that movie even though parts are very cheezy.
Tay said she wants to come pick me up when I get out and then live with forever and ever. They say that your kids aren't going to keep you from coming back to prison....but for me they are a REALLY good reason to CHANGE MY LIFE while I can. more tomorrow....
9/11
Well, it's not tomorrow...it's Saturday. I've been HORRIBLE at writing lately. My track started so I've been Fascilitating (teaching) about 4 classes and I have productive time in the afternoon so now I can work out in the afternoon instead of after dinner when I'm super duper tired.
They moved the crew bosses around and put Bolli in as Motivation crew boss and moved me to work crew boss. Usually they have you on RRG crew boss or work crew boss before they put you on as a Jr. Mentor, so maybe that's in my future. My new Job duties are: I'm in charge of everyone's job and putting them on the Job board. So naturally I took my name off so I don't have a job anymore. Well other than making sure everyone does their job right and on time, etc. There is a lot more responsibility and I have to make more calls on people that I did on motivation. More good times...
My mom, Dad and tay came and saw me today. It was a good surprise as I wasn't expecting it. It's crazy how fast time goes when they are here. Tay is so cute and she can do math now and can read good . (HaHa) Zoolander Joke. Anyway, I came back to my house and watched the US open Tennis match and then some college football and then Nascar.
I've been thinking about how weird life is. I've decided that I would pick a romantic comedy over a horror flick every single time.
I'll pick a Ferrari over a Lambo, I like blondes but usually pick brunettes because blonds intimidate me. I would wear gym pants all day everyday if it were socially acceptable. I've realized that Material things WON't bring me happiness and that relationships are what i Need. My kids come first and they need me in their lives.
I may or may not have a man crush on Brett Faure and I get very angry when the Vikings lose and people try to rub it in my face.
Carrie Underwood is my ideal woman and my Idea of a perfect date is a trip to the movie theatre for a testosterone filled action movie.
I realize all these things can't be had or accomplished in my current state and these are reasons to better myself and to continue to change and challenge myself.
As I celebrate the free country I live in I try to remember all the men and women who fight in the military so I can be free one day!
9/16/2010 Thursday
I have been horrible at writing again. This past week has gone fast. We had MOnday off and the rest of the week went fast. I'm in a good routine now. I facilitate 5 classes now and take Thinking for A Change two times a week for two hours. I was hoping that it would be a little more challenging but then I remember the caliber of people in prison and I will have to go to college when I get out to be challenged.
I received a couple letters this week. Josh sent me a nice letter and also a Minn. Viking's schedule. He wrote "GO PACK!" on it to bust me balls. I also got a letter from Kimberly. SOunds like they have a busy schedule with the new born.
My new job as work crew boss is alot different. I have to sign people in and out as they do their community service hours. Also when people get low on hours, the Senior mentors want me to watch for "Behaviors" that would warrant more hours so we can keep people in hours it makes for more stress on my part but it's still a stupid program. It does make time go by quicker as I'm busy all day.

Friday. the TV's aren't working again. Well I do have channel 2, 4 and 30. However this aggravates me as the NFL is broadcast on Fox 13. It's annoying that the TV crew works 4 tens so I probably won't have the good channels all weekend. There isn't alot to do when it's the weekend, because it's quiet time til 10:30 and waking up at 5:30 all week, when the weekend hits it's nice to relax. so I was stuck watching the Daily Dish and Good Things Utah this a.m. Talk about a stupid show! It's like a low budget "the View".
I was counting how many days I have left and I'm at 199 today. It will go fast. I got a letter from mom yesterday and she wrote about regional conference and game se some good tips.
