I really can’t believe I am spending Christmas in prison… I woke up this morning in good spirits but it was one of those mornings that felt completely surreal… like this reality just can’t be happening… can it??

Well… we got a problem. The south yard computer lab has been closed for last 5 days which sends everyone to the north yard during 10 minutes moves to jump on the computer and get everything they need to get done… done. This means that we need to make the 3-4 minute walk… use about

Man…. memories. The slideshow of my life outside these walls that plays in my mind on a daily basis is one of the best survival tools that I have been able to tap into since I have been at T.I. It allows for me to “escape” this reality for even a few moments and transport
