Deep Thoughts by War Machine

 

Image003_medium

Imagine my surprise when I was going through some tweets and saw something from Mr. War Machine.  I mean, isn't he in jail?  Do they have Twitter in jail?  Apparently they don't.  But the ever-enterprising Mr. Machine has found a way to get his message out despite the bars and armed guards.  Mr. Machine will be writing a weekly blog while in jail for the next year.  Woot!  You can check out his twitterings by following @WarMachine170, but why bother when we'll do it for you?

His first installment begins after the jump.

What's up guys!? I'm gonna do a weekly blog for this year while I'm locked up. Just want to keep y'all posted and give you some insight on what it's like here for me. When I first got here I was told I was gonna be kept in segregation to pretect myself since I'm a "celebrity." I told them NO WAY! 23 hours a day lockdown? FUCK THAT! So they stuck me in the "mainline." They classified me a 5 on a scale 1-6 so I'm with the big dogs. Everyone here has been to prison. Few guys in my unit are murderers waiting to be shipped out to prison for life. Funny, kinda odd, but they are the most friendly of the bunch... Most intelligent too. Hardest thing about this place is finding people you can have a decent conversation with. 

So when you first get here you learn the rules, jail politics. You got the Whites, the Mexicans, and the Blacks + others. Whites and Mex share tables for recreation but you only eat show at your designated race's table. You never sit at the Blacks table and vice-versa, but you can talk to them here in County Jail. If a Mex or White fights a Black, all the Mex and Whites are required to jump in. One on one fights are only allowed against your own race and take place in an empty cell. I think it's dumb. I'm not trying to fight anyone and can care less abotu who fights who. I hope no big rumbles happen... I can't afford more trouble. Buttt if you don't help, you get jumped afterwards. Maybe I'll just throw body shots and leg kicks so I don't hurt anyone... Anyway so far all is well. 

I'm bored a lot, just been reading and working out to stay busy. All the guys here are cool to me, I get a lot of questions about fighting. Seems everyone wants to learn some "moves." I wish we could train here, would make it way more fun... lol. So yeah, anyway I don't see anyone fucking with ME... Only way BS goes down is if I get drug into someone elses lame drama. Well that is that! Week 1 in a nut shell. Look forward to keeping you guys updated. Can't wait to get out and fight for all my fans again! Can't wait to open my gym in Austin! Thanks for standing by me. If you go to sdsheriff.net you can e-mail me. Booking # 10754342 Jon Koppenhaver.

My thoughts after a 2 hour night sleep, man, I got to go to bed.

He is off his rocker. I wonder if he snuck a blackberry in or something. To be honest, this early in the morning I don’t want to think of what hes smuggling where. I have to admit though, I’m a little tempted to ask him for a autograph. But I have a feeling the person who screens all of the emails will put me on a terroristic list of some kind.
I feel bad for the guy, he was a major meat head but if you listened to some interviews it was really just a string of bad mistakes caused by mental issues that a lot of people have fighter or not. He did know what he was doing when he got into the fights so its his own fault, I just think that a whole year might be a little exaggerated. He may not be a GSP but its a shame that he had to deal with issues that really cost him his career.

I’m hoping you’re being sarcastic and terrified that you’re not. :)

Dot it!

I feel bad for the dude for not doing his research before going in…

He’s in county and is getting into the whole racial deal. Bad news bears. He could just keep on the DL and be fine in county. Plus, a years sentence in a County Prison is like 6 months on good behavior. Especially So Cal jails. Overpopulation is a bitch. If he gets crazy in there due to the “politics” then he could spend over a year.

As far as the twittering, he is doing it through a friend. He either emails or sends letters, i forget exactly. He had explained on twitter before going in

Hey! Now might be the perfect time to ask him 20 questions, lol. Its not like he’s too busy!

Very true...

Personally, I feel like I know everything I want to (and a lot I didn’t want to) about Mr. Machine. Just… ew.

Do It!!!!1

just make it a new set of 20 questions,. just the most bizarre, out of this world questions nobody ever asks anyone. #17 can be “If you were a blade of grass, where would you be?”

two future pen pals for him. lilo or paris hilton b/c she seems to carry quite a bit of marijuana these days.

I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Glory favors the bold. Chance favors the prepared mind. Luck, well i have that too. University of Utah goes to the Pac-12 conference in 2011. I expect them to compete immediately for the conference CG. I still will always follow the Mountain West Conference. Brock Lesnar will defeat Cain Velasquez and face the winner of Junior Dos Santos vs Roy Nelson where he will defeat JDS and stake his claim as pound for pound champion. Womens MMA, the next big thing in sports. 5 weeks till the first game of college football. UTAH vs Pitt. September 2nd 2010.
