It is 2037 hours. I am lying on my stomach on the bed (one that we got on Amazon that I was a little skeptical about getting. Surprisingly it isn't 100% bad.. only about 40%). Mackenzie just went into the other room (I wonder what she is doing..?). She was up until about two minutes ago laying next to me playing her games on her phone. She has these trivia games she likes to play that I help her cheat with by searching answers before we write them down (LOL!)... we DEFINATELY make a good team!
It has already been 3 days since I first broke my silence on this thing. I hope I stick with it. I HAVE been thinking about writing since Wednesday, but I always seem to procrastinate doing it until it is too late to do it. Oh well. "Never stop starting" is something that my mom says in her fitness classes that she teaches at the Blanco Community Center ("Gem of the Hills" as they call it). The saying really can be applied to all areas of life, as we are all ALWAYS falling short of our goals. Whether it is failing to maintain a diet 100% of the time, or ceasing study of something you need to be studying, or having a day where you don't want to do anything. If you fail, never stop starting over again. So, with that, here's to me starting my daily blogging/online-journal-keeping over again.
So because I haven't made any sort of entry the last couple of days, I should play a little bit of catch-up:
Thursday- The only thing worth while that really happened on Thursday was I went shooting with a couple of guys from work. I was allowed to buy a rifle as part of my birthday present this last year, and I am still toying around with it. I got a aimpoint red dot sight from another guy from work and I threw it on my rifle almost as soon as I got it. I FINALLY sighted it in yesterday. 0'd in at 50 yards, which I would say is a good length. Anyways, I was able to put about 200 rounds down range which is a good amount for one day of shooting.
Friday- Showed up at briefing at work at 0545 hours. Some buckwheat was found with 8 coffee bags (Imagine the size of an average shoe in size) full of feces. The dude who was found with it was and is known for throwing and smearing his crap when he doesn't get what he wants... what's his name?.. "P" is good enough I think. I won't give you his name because that is too specific for public knowledge. The first initial of his first name should suffice.
Other than that we had 3 deployments back to back. It made the time go quick, but holy cow I was exhausted and hot.... and hungry afterwards. One kid we deployed on is named "D". Known to assault Staff, breaking lights, and being disruptive. Holy cow. So this kid, D, is a Level 1 inmate, which is the highest level you can get. He put himself in that classification by assaulting a staff member so so badly he was out for a month. Shattered his nose. so much blood, lemme tell you. The other kid we deployed on is named "Y." Y was arrested and booked in 3 months ago, and already has 17 Destruction of Property infractions. His MO is breaking cameras and sprinklers just cuz he feels like it. I honestly don't understand some people. He doesn't understand why does it either I believe. Sociopathy? Y was deployed on back to back. We dressed up, went inside and moved him after he broke a sprinkler head, went outside and took off our (hot) gear, got called back, put our (hot) gear back on and went inside and put him in the restraint chair. Oh well, it gives us something to do, and reps to practice with for when it actually comes down to a REAL deployment.
Today- The only major things that happened today were a staff member was assaulted by the same inmate that assaulted me a little while back. I responded to the assistance call, saw her laying on her stomach with another staff member holding her down, I went up to them and got ahold of her legs with my nunchakus and turned her around to where she was laying on her stomach. Then she went in the chair, pretty easy work. Still, gave us something to do for a boring Saturday morning.
There was something I wanted to write down specifically, but I can't remember.. It's okay. I wrote enough for tonight anyways.. I hope I can remember it tomorrow. Whatever I write tomorrow will be more insightful, I promise.

Did you ever remember what you wanted to say?
