I wake up at 7:00 AM and give thanks for my life. I groom with thanks. I stretch and do yoga. I clean the cell. Then I sit in meditation.
8:00AM I'm headed to the yard to run a couple of miles... Will Downing in my CD player.
9:00AM The phones come on so I'm back in the cell block with my Bible and other wisdom books by the phone, with a specific message for the people I call. My intention... to be a source of inspiration.
10:15AM We lock down for "count time." I usually read during this time.
In the afternoon I workout. I do an hour or so of calisthenics. For my downtime I enjoy playing chess. In the evening I'm back on the phone or I'm writing.
My institutional job is a program aide for the music association, so I'm always on call for bands that need my help. I play drums and keyboards.
I give effort to structure my life to reflect the life I intend to create for myself in society. I'm a producer and writer, so creating music and literature are my passions. I structure my life around what I'm good at to stack the odds in favor of my success.
My diet consists of brown rice, tuna and condiments. I eat the same thing everyday in different varieties. My secondary snack consists of nuts, oatmeal, and figs. I don't eat the state's food down at the chow hall for two reasons: it's unsanitary and I can't get used to the company... this is an uncivilized environment.
