San Antonio, TX

Wednesday January 21, 2004

     7:54am  I just left Sam's. I killed a lot of time today. I got lazy. I woke up at Sam's and got on his computer. I typed up a whole other day. I just typed up December 16th where that trucker cooked me two steaks in Tehachapi. I'm going to go downtown. I am wearing three day old socks. I'm going to spange up like two dollars so I can do laundry. Hopefully I can get a joint. Man, last night when I got to Sam's, I was all pissed off and depressed. I noticed that when I got there Sam was all sleeping. I saw a pot of food on the stove. Under my breath I said, "Hey Sam, can I have some?" He mumbled something and I couldn't understand what he told me. I didn't want to assume that I could have it, so I didn't touch it. All of a sudden he gets up and goes to the stove, gets some plastic containers and puts it up. I heard him pouring something down the sink and I tell him, "Man, you're going to throw that away?" He tells me, "Well, I said you could have it all." I tell him, "I didn't hear you! You mumbled something. I didn't want to assume." He put the stuff in the fridge. I lay down and then I got really hungry. I got up and went and ate it.

                   Sam must think I can read his mind or something.

     11:48am  Rodney hooked me up with a cigarette in front of Shops of Paseo del Alamo.

     11:40pm  Man, that was like the first guy that gave me a cigarette, dude. I had been asking all these people and having bad luck. I'm going to sit down and smoke it.

     12:18pm  I was just sitting here chilling at this little bench right in front of The Santa Ana Alley River Shops, on The Riverwalk. These stupid cops, these park police guys come up to me and ask me how it was going. They noticed that I had spit on the ground while I was smoking my cigarette. They told me, "You can't do that." I told them, "I'm just spitting. I'm sorry." One of the pigs told me, "You can spit in the river." Then he said, "We could give you a ticket, but we're just going to give you a verbal warning."

                     Stupid cops got nothing better to do.

                     I would much rather spit on this evil concrete than in my beautiful San Antonio River. I thought these cops worked for the town.

     12:56pm  Robert hooked me up with a cigarette at Travis Park. I appreciate it, bro.

     1:35pm  Johnny hooked me up with a dollar for a hotdog at Travis Park.

     2:14pm  I got smoked out! I was all bummed out because I hadn't smoked in like three days. Work had been all pissing me off. Stupid telemarketing bullshit. I went to The Riverwalk downtown and sat down on a bench. These stupid cops came and hassled me for sitting there and spitting on the ground. Then I came back to the park and I saw these guys sitting by the statue in the middle. They had all these big bags of weed. I was all, "Man, I want a hit." This brother Mike smoked me out!

     2:30pm  Joe hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it.

                   If you think it . . . you can be it.

     2:35pm  I'm on the 92. My script evolves once more. When I tell people my story, I'll stop right after I tell them about the spirits. Then I'll tell them, "I can finish the story if you want me to," just to see if they are interested. If they're not, at least I will have gotten to the good part and that can be a stopping point. Then, I can go look for someone else to tell my story to. I'm streamlining.

     2:52pm  That was so awesome. This one lady listened to me like crazy. She had to get off at the Deco District HEB.

     3:03pm  Dude, my prayer was answered. On the bus earlier, when I was downtown I said out loud, "Please Love, send me somebody who will listen to me." Dude, I got on the 92 and I just sat there. All of a sudden, two people get off the bench in front of mine to get off at their stop. Then, all of a sudden, this lady jumps into the seat in front of me and grins at meal real big. She asked me how I was doing and I told her, "Great!" She asked me if there was some reason and I told her, "Yeah, I just got smoked out at the park." She goes, "Oh, that is a reason." I went, "Hey, can I tell you what I'm doing?" She told me, "Yeah! I love listening to new people!" She sat down and she stared at me the whole time I was talking to her. Oh man, my prayer was answered! Thank you Love.

     3:20pm  I got off at Sam's and went in and changed for work. Damnit, I just saw a 91 pass by. Damnit, I could've walked to the Denny's by then. All this time I have been waiting here for the 92. The 91 goes all the way to West. That pisses me off. Argh. I'm trying to get to Medical Center by 3:45 because I remember yesterday that was the time the 603 passed there. I was fifteen minutes late yesterday.

                   Oh yeah, earlier when that lady was listening to me on the bus, she was looking at me the whole time. When I told her I was going to get marijuana legalized she said, "Oh no, that can't be done. That's impossible. We have to decriminalize it first." I chuckled and told her, "Let me tell you what I am going to do." Then I busted out with my scripts. The whole time she agreed with everything I said. She didn't shake her head one time. She nodded it up and down.

     3:45pm  There's a big traffic jam. I might be later to work that I thought. I'm hungry too. We're going to stop by the hospital. I'm going to go see if I can score.

                   It's going to be close. It's going to be real close.

     3:48pm  Right when the 92 turned right on Merton Minter and was pulling up to the first stop, I saw the 603 heading to West leave. I asked the driver if he could please honk at it. He flashed his lights, but it didn't stop. So I missed the 603. Oh well. I'm going to go get me some liquid nutrition at the hospital.

     3:50pm  The 91 doesn't come until 4:06pm, so I got some time.

     3:57pm  Score, kind of. I almost got busted, man. Finally. As I was walking down the hallway towards the elevators, this group of doctors passed me. This one lady looked me up and down and said, "Hey, are you going in our nourishment room again?" At first I didn't know what to say. I told her, "I was just coming to say hi to Gabe." She told me, "Well, you can't go in there." I told her, "Okay, later on," and just kept walking to the elevator. I was really hoping she didn't notice the bulging cans in my bag and just walked away. Suckers.

                   Dude, I scored so much! I got like five. Two in my pockets and three in my bag.

                   Well, that be my sign to leave San Antonio. I don't know.

                   I went back down to the buses and I hit this girl up for a cigarette. At first she ignored me. I said real loud, "All you have to do is say no."

     4:03pm  Warren hooked me up with a cigarette at the hospital. I appreciate it, brother.

     4:06pm  I'm on the 91 headed to work.

     4:32pm  I'm walking into work. I'm all late. I'm going to walk in and say, "Hey, am I fired? Do I have to come back in thirty days again?" Oh yeah, when I was at the hospital earlier, right before I walked into the nourishment room, Gabe was sitting down at a computer in the lunch room. I told Gabe hello and told him, "Ok Gabe, I'm going to go tap that resource." He was all, "Don't tell me."

     10:07pm  Nick hooked me up with a cigarette at the smoking cabana after work. I appreciate it, brother.

     10:50pm  I'm on the bus coming home from work. I saw Patty on the bus. She thinks I'm crazy like everybody else. I worked with Patty on the AOL project right before I got hit by the car. She thinks I'm all messed up in the head. She's the crazy one, if you ask me. She just wouldn't shut up and listen to me. She is as ignorant as the rest of them.

                      Patty is so ignorant she doesn't even know what she is ignorant about.

Next day..
