Dear journal
Another year of livin. Another year of killin. I don’t know what’s going on but these blacks are just dropping like flies. It take a whole day pay just to get another one of these things. My wife says i should go easy on them but no i refuse not to. If i do they gon think they can take advantage of me. I try not to think about all these states that are allowing these animals to go free. It it’s hard i just wanna go and snatch some of these and bring em back to work for me. That will show these blacks that they are not really free.
