6:22am I just woke up. I got nine hours of sleep last night.
7:37am I already descended down from the rooftop. I'm walking to Project Understanding to do some laundry and some other stuff, then I'm going to get out of here, I think.
8:00am Project Understanding.
8:42am I am getting some bad signs already. I couldn't' get on the laundry list and the greedy ass putting his laundry in would not let me put two tee-shirts in with his load. He told me to get in line. I told him, "How wasteful we've become. Do unto others." I didn't get anything at Project Understanding. I got to take a shit and ate a little cake, but that's it. This morning I had some dank Indian food for breakfast. All this meat. Shrimp and everything. It was damn-good. Umm, I might just leave. I'm going to see if this Vista transfer I still have will work. I'll go back to UCSB in Goleta and keep going North.
9:45am I got a hair up my ass to walk to Sanjon and spread the word there before I left. Maybe I can manifest some traveling-aid. Maybe I'll leave tomorrow, on Saturday. I'm taking a smokebreak. I'm pretty tired. I'm still a little sick. I'm walking to Sanjon. There better not be any competition there.
10:02am I'm posted up on Sanjon. Support the cause.
10:15am It's been kind of slow this morning. I did just get a kick down from some guy who said he liked my shirt and gave me a dollar. I gave him my website.
10:35am Did I tell you I'm leaving Sanjon? I should go stand on Main Street with my HOOK A BROTHER UP/SMOKE A BROTHER OUT sign. I don't think I'm going to go to lunch at eleven thirty at Catholic Charities. I ate the last of my badass Indian food I got last night. I ate it on top of the metal box at Sanjon.
11:27am David Antenna. I just had the most awesome presentation with this other street kid about my height.
4:47pm I am just about done at the library. They're going to close pretty soon. I did a little bit more typing. I got a little screwed up on the dates. I'll need to do a little research to fix it. I took a short nap earlier at the park. This guy woke me up and smoked me out, but he wouldn't shut up. He kept saying about how he'd been in prison and he just wouldn't shut up. I didn't try to tell him my story at all. He said he was going to braid my goatee, but he never did. Talk is cheap. Anyway, I should probably skip town tomorrow.
5:03pm Doug was nice enough to give me a cigarette outside the library. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.
5:25pm Rob just walked by and gave me two dollars. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
6:14pm I just had an awesome presentation with Even and Megan. They listened to all of my shit.
I am Free Hugging it tonight!
These two girl's came back and I got to tell them my head injuries story.
7:20pm I had yet another great presentation with these three girls and a guy. Or maybe it was four girls.
8:10pm David was nice enough to volunteer me some food.
8:47pm Man, I am having a badass time telling my story on Main Street. I'm having a good Friday.
10:06pm Arlo saw my sign and hooked me up with some change. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, man.
I'm having fun. I was telling my story to these Mexican kids. While I was talking to them this lady walked up and gave me a cigarette. He was all, "You don't remember me?" I apologized, telling her I talk to lots of different people every single day. She told me, "Me and my daughter both gave you free hugs."
Couple
10:18pm I was just standing there giving out hugs and Sam hooked me up with a little nugget of weed! I appreciate it, man. You made my night.
11:22pm I'm bored, so I came up to get on the rooftop. There's tons of cars in the parking lot and there's people outside, so I'm taking a smokebreak at the back edge of the lot. I'll just wait until the coast is clear and infiltrate.
11:33pm I have successfully infiltrated the rooftop. I'm going to make my bed and crash out.
