"My cousin just spent the last hour explaining to me why he didn't believe in evolution.

It's kinda rough out here…day two in the desert- they have a guns god and glory mentality…I'm fearing I may be becoming one of them. I must stay strong.

My worst fears were realized at dinner. I found myself saying "I think everybody should own a gun". I don't know what happened. It just slipped out.

The changes are now apparent and coming much faster. I think I blacked out. The last thing I remember is saying something about going back to where they came from and then the next thing I knew I was wearing full camp and having a real life modern warfare fight with my cousin. 

You know, it's really not so bad here. I'm with family, and the closest Walmart is only about a hour drive away, and it's not like we are completely in the middle of nowhere. The state penitentiary is only fifteen minutes down the road. 

What kind of name is Jairo anyway? Are you some sort of commie terrorist?"
