Girlfriends 3/31/10

Art tells of how while he was Game Boy he punched Ernie and got into a fight with him. He criticized the way that Ernie fought because he would always talk about how he was a great fighter. There was a lot of tension in between them after that. Art also wrote to a couple of his girlfriends while he was in prison and he talked about his ex and how she got together with somebody she ended up marrying. He talks about one of his ally's sisters and how she looked like a gorrilla with lipstick. I found it pretty funny that he would compare that to one of his friend's sisters.

Art talks about how he got hit by a car when he was younger because he didn't want to follow his dad's rules and hold his brother's hand. He talks about a new guy in the prison named Ernie and how he would always make jokes about him and one day he becomes the Game Boy, the person who picks up all the games before everybody goes to bed, and he finds he can make an excuse for fighting Ernie by saying he wouldn't turn in the cards.
