All I really gotta do is live and die

Shawshank, January 18, 2026

Morning everyone. Yeah, we’re up a little early. Well, I’m up a little early. I’m pretty sure Podrick has be poking Crystal for at least 3 hours this morning. That’s like poking a bear. I feel wicked bad for The Beautiful One. It sucks really a lot when you can’t sleep, and then add the…

‘Cause I’ve been broke down for so long and Lord, it’s gettin’ cold

Shawshank, January 13, 2026

Another day over, and a new ones just begun. It’s Tuesday, I think. all the days look the same when it’s dark out. But Crystal did mention something yesterday – it’s getting darker in the evenings, just a little later than last week. That’s a good thing. I never know what to write in the…
