Ventura, CA
Saturday January 3, 2009
7:52am Lorenzo and I left the squat. I was all bummed out last night because I had lost my weed. I climbed down and looked everywhere where we were smoking and couldn’t find it. Then I remembered Lorenzo’s scared ass said he thought he saw the police. I was all stoned, so I stashed my stuff in the bush and forgot I stashed it. I’m glad I remembered this morning. So we’re walking over behind the library to wake and bake.
8:21am I was going to walk Main Street to Ventura Avenue, but I do that all the time. I never walked this Poli street that goes in front of City Hall. It seems like it would be closer walking it. They have a big statue. At first I thought it was San Buenaventura, but it’s some friar who founded the city or something. I took a picture of this big mural that they have of the pier. Right when I took that picture Lorenzo, just happened to be jogging by. What a coinkidink. Oh yeah, 2012, I call him, he smoked me out with some Mr. Nice Guy. I’m all stoned and feeling good.
10:57am I am being really patient doing my laundry. Instead of bumming another quarter for the dryer I set my socks that didn’t dry all the way outside. I am using my walking stick as a clothesline. I went inside to check on my bag and somebody put a book in there for me. It’s called How To Be Awake and Alive. I’ll read it, if it isn’t religious or nothing. It was weird. It was underneath my sweater. Someone must’ve pulled it out to get it under.
Listener
12:57pm I just ran into Mark from River Haven. I remember him. He saw me and said, “Victor, is that you?”
1:38pm I just had an awesome presentation with this girl that just walked up to me. I didn’t get her name, but she was a real pretty girl. She was walking with some homeless guy. She might’ve been homeless too, I don’t know. I’m standing in front of the library with my SUPPORT THE CAUSE sign showing.
Listeners
3:25pm Allan was nice enough to give me some change for the cause. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
3:26pm Ann is being nice enough to give me some change for the cause.
My setup
4:00pm I’ve had a blast today. I am all stoned. My giveaway has evolved. I’ve been doing my FREE HUGS thing. I got the idea to put a cup on the ground for change. I pulled a small coffee cup out of the trash and dried the inside off with my handkerchief. People have been hooking me up. Badass.
I think I’m going to go get my compass for my walking stick tomorrow.
5:07pm I was hacking up my lungs after I took a hit of weed. This lady across the street saw my shirt and walked over. I apologized for coughing so much, that I was only practicing what I preach. She asked if she could have a hit and I said sure. I am having an awesome Saturday. I’m not going to leave. Ventura has sucked me in.
5:30pm I had an awesome presentation with beautiful Casey. She listened the hell out of me. She walked by and gave me a hug first.
5:37pm I had yet another awesome presentation with this girl named Lupe. Her friends were buying movie tickets and her face struck me. I told her, “You look like you’re in my family. Are you Puerto Rican?” Then she started talking to me and I hit her up for my story. She listened great. I took her picture. She’s such a beautiful girl.
7:18pm Sid just walked by and volunteered me a dollar. I appreciate it, Sid. Everybody gets credit.
7:43pm I only got like four bucks in donations left. I just gave them to Lorenzo so he could go buy us some omelet sandwiches. I have like almost two dollars left, so I’m going to try and ride the bus out to the Walmart and buy me a compass for my walking stick. There’s a Walmart in Oxnard, I was told.
7:50pm I just randomly got blessed with a dollar. This guy walked by hooked me up. I’m just standing here with my shirt exposed just waiting for the bus.
