Today is [my son’s] birthday (all my kids are a year older since I came in here).  I tried but couldn’t get to talk to him.  He wasn’t at [my wife]’s (she rushed me off the phone – kinda rude) and I couldn’t get an answer at home.  I hope he got the card that I sent him.

… Our unit is full now.  It’s crowded here but the guys are ok …

I was expecting more from Lawrence.  I guess I tried anyway.  I put in a complaint with the Public Service Commission, so I’ll see what comes out of that – probably nothing … I’m really disappointed that I missed both [my son and daughter]’s birthdays.  It seems so unfair that I haven’t gotten my parole yet.  Nothing I can do though.

This fucking place is so boring.  I’ve lost control of the t.v.  they want to watch movies all day.  I guess I’ll have to start reading more … everyone seems amused that I’ve shaved half my face.  I’m not sure what to do with it now.

… Jimmy got sent to the hole again, for having a pipe.  I would say he’s not very happy now.

… I got a reply from Herb Dickinson today.  He expressed his concerns but didn’t offer to do anything.

  Nobody cares about us here. …Twenty four more days till my hearing …

I’ve reached 41 wpm. Now, I’m wishing I had something else to do on the computer …

[Supervisor] told me that I’m not allowed to get a subscription to the Halifax newspaper. I’ll have to aks why next time I see him, some stupid reason, no doubt … I got a father’s day card from Steven today. They’re coming in to visit tomorrow.  I think I’ll keep my half beard just to amuse him. …

Jason got sent to max today, so our unit is full now.  Eugene is in the other unit.  I hope Jimmy doesn’t set something up with him.  I’d like to take care of that myself …

Jennifer apparently got married tonight.  I guess we’ll never have babies together, oh well …

John told me today that he heard that I might get to medium.  Depends on how well I behave so who knows …
