Prison Life Every Boy's Dream?

-


Behind bars.

Donald Trump is not worried about attorney fatigue, because if one set of attorneys is exhausted, he hires another one, for all the nodes where he is belittling the American justice system.

How is life in jail? Being in prison, incarcerated, doing time, being behind bars or whatever you call it, deprives you of home comforts, including the warm bed with your wife or girlfriend. I always cringe when I come across podcasts where ex-convicts talk about prison rape. In my small mind, that should be the #1 deterrent for not doing crime, especially murder.

How is life in jail? Donald Trump will find out about steel, if he is convicted. Nothing personal. Ask men serving time in Georgia, because they were accused of violating RICO law, found guilty then thrown in jail. What I remember about prison is steel, or is it iron? The gates are steel, the toilet basin is steel and the plate is steel. Prison guards don’t serve you food on a tray. They forcefully slide it across to where you are sitting in the shower area.

The plate of steel has food that cannot be identified because it is unique to the establishment. There’s no actual chewing because the mind is in another zip code, another time before you were incarcerated. You just swallow and think about how long. How long? It was a political trial for us, so we were detained so that we don’t talk to each other. There was no answer to, how long. We were in solitary confinement but we were in real cells, eating prison grub and eating it without looking at that steel toilet.

I guess Donald Trump doesn’t have to worry about that because he didn’t do anything wrong and is demanding to be the president again, so he could deny any election, again.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
