Early morning. Hungry.


I have pretty nice skin. It's fair and I don't get blemishes often and my wrinkles aren't horribly prominent at my age. I don't use any kind of skin care products (though I probably should now before I start looking too old) and I have used an electric razor for a number of years with satisfactory results. I try and eat fairly healthy. I don't drink soda or sugary drinks, and I don't eat candy or junk food except on rare occasions. And seldom do I drink coffee unless I feel it is absolutely necessary to make my morning.

As a result of these things I don't get a lot of pimples. But it seems like ever since I got here (to jail) and have started eating the food here I have been breaking out. Not like over the top breaking out to where I look like a BEFORE picture on a ProActiv commercial. But I definitely have more pimples on my face and neck than before.

I think it may have to do with the change in my diet. I hadn't eaten baloney in almost two years before I was taken into custody. Now I eat some form of D grade oily circular lunch meat every day. Some days twice!
But what will eventually happen is that my stomach gets used to all that crap and my skin will clear up and I'll just go on eating the food as usual.

I cannot wait to taste again a lot of foods that I used to eat regularly. One would be Chipotle, fo damn sho! When I am back I plan on the first day going with my little brother Jared to the Chipotle and grubbing down on one of those premature-baby-sized chicken burritos. I say umm umm...umm umm umm!!!

Another stop will be a little corner restaurant by my house. It's located on the corner of Rose & Orangethorpe and it's called King's Teriyaki. They make a teriyaki chicken bowl that I don't even have to order anymore. I have so many times that they know what I want when I come in and even start making it when they see my car pull up sometimes. I miss them there and look forward to seeing them again as soon as I can.

But my biggest vice when it comes to food is Carl's Jr. by far. At least a couple times a week I am guilty of hitting the drive-thru for my usual. And I plan on first thing when I am released hitting the closest Carl's 24 hour drive-thru and getting a Six Dollar Burger just plain with cheese (burger cheese & bun) and an ice cold milk to wash it down with. I could almost cry thinking about it. I don't know if I want to eat because I am bored or if I really am hungry.

This place gets wacker and wacker as time goes by, and I sense that is not going to change.The chances of this tent turning around and becoming anything other than the total joke that it is currently are about as good as my chances of winning the lottery.......from jail! Don't for a second think it is the fault of Leon our Mouse because he does everything he can to keep things in order. Sometimes I view Leon as a lone fireman trying to put out a raging inferno. Or maybe a fireman trying to put out a building that has burned to the ground already!

Keep those cards and letters coming! I live for mail call. Peace out.
