June 19, 2018 

The counselor told me to get my release address ready because we’ll be doing my release packet soon. My mom says I can live with her; she insists. However, since she lives in a 5th wheel trailer, it’s going to be a tight fit.

While I was in prison, the economy took a shit, and my mom was forced to sell her house. Not to mention she co-signed on my film student loan, so while I’m nice and comfy in here, she’s got creditors hounding her out there. Needless to say I have a lot of guilt over all of this. Now more than ever I know I must succeed. Not just for me but so I can give her, the person who has never given up on me, the life she deserves.

She now lives in a 5th wheel on some trashy tweaker lot. But I’m so lucky to have family support, because compared to a halfway house that 5th wheel might as well be the Ritz-Carlton. It might be tight living, but I’m pretty much an expert on that, with almost a decade living in an 8 x 12 box. My mom offered to sleep on the fold out couch so I could have the bed. That’s what kind of woman she is. I told her that we should just build me a shed to live in. I’ve been reading this book on micro shelters and I want to build one.


That’s what I call and image of success. I’ll be that creepy ex-con who lives in his mom’s shed. And I’ll have a pee-bucket. Maybe I’ll develop a weird facial tic and purchase a banjo. I could sit out front on my overturned pee-bucket and serenade the tweakers as they scurry by.🎶 Ba-da dung-dung-dung-dung-dun-dun-dung. 🎶
