After being in the hole for the first week , I was finally able to take a shower and not have to feel like the hoe on the original Car Wash movie that was hoe bathing in the bathroom. I hadn’t been to the hole in five years so I didn’t know how they run it here , but I also didn’t care how they ran it because I knew that I wasn’t going to be in ther know that I’m not going back. I sat in there 19 days without the investigators coming to see me at all , and normally I wouldn’ t have cared but by me not doing anything ” THIS TIME ” I really wasn’t feeling that trip. I thought alot about my family , both sides. I read a few more books than I normally would. I barely ate anything while in there , and there was a bright side to it all. I got a chance to catch up on my rest. I didn’t realize how much I actually had on my plate in preparation for my re-entry into society. I didn’t get an infraction , I’ve been put in a new unit , I haven’t been given another job , the cell that I’m in looks like a crack house. The coldest part about it all is , these people don’t even know that they only added to the legend of ROMEO- “G” with this last episode. I’m trying to phase that guy out and bring RAMONE back into play , but they’re making it hard for me to do with stuff like this going on. It’s cool though. I understand that they had a job to do. Right now I’m like JOB , and no matter what happens nothings going to break my faith , focus , or me , cause I’ve been to the mountain top , and now I’m on my way to the valley low to get home to my family. They said that they’re still monitoring me even though the investigation is complete , and it’s funny cause I guess they really want to get to know ROMEO – “G” . They want to be the ones to say that they successfully jammed me up before I get out since nobody else could do it LMAO. That’ll definately never happen cause they couldn’t do it when I was getting down , so now that I’m not doing anything these days they really don’t stand a chance. Now with that being said , I’ll leave y’all with this : When they stuck me in that cell I can honestly say that I kind of know how SANDRA BLAND felt that day. In case you don’t know who she is , she’s the female from Chicago that was pulled over in Texas for no reason , was arrested , placed in a cell where she later committed suicide ( so they say ). R.I.P SANDRA BLAND. This situation really opened my eyes to the fact that no matter how much I changed the powers that be will ONLY see me for the person I use to be , and I can’t let it bother me cause it’ll probably be alot worse when I get home. All I can do is continue to grow , and do what I do. Song of the day : Energy – Drake.
