Thursday January 31, 2008

     12:46pm  I'm over at the Perry house. I had nothing better to do so I came over here to clean some more. Might as well have the upstairs match the downstairs. Oh yeah, I washed a load of my clothes and took them over to the Perry's this morning because my mom's dryer is broken. So to kill time while my clothes dried I busted ass upstairs. I left already and I'm going to go catch the bus. Today is the last day on my bus pass. I'm going to go to the store and price boots. My mom said she was going to buy me a new pair before I left.

     1:13pm  I got an update to make. Somebody(gave me his name, but couldn't understand it. I think it was Vince.) recommends when I get to upstate New York to check out Norwich.

     1:17pm  I just got on the bus to go to the mall. I'm going to get off at Guilbeau so I can smoke a cigarette.
                  
                   Whoa, the wind is really strong today. At first I thought I layered up too much, but the wind chill merits the extra layers.

     1:23pm  I'm at the Walmart. I'm going to ride the 609 to Ingram at 35.

     1:55pm  I just got off at the Ingram Transfer Center.

     2:15pm  This dumb girl who recognized me from West Telemarketing, she's in the mall being a survey-taker, she came up to me and asked, "You used to work at West, didn't you?" I tried to tell her what I was doing, my story, but as soon as I said eliminate money, she turned her ears off and said, "I have to get back to work." Good little slave. I'm giving up on Ingram Mall. I'm going to go back to the transfer center and catch the bus to Academy, which is where I should have gone to begin with.

     2:29pm  David just hooked me up with a cigarette at Ingram. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
                  
     2:41pm  Did I tell you I decided I was going to walk to Academy on Potranco and Loop 410. The 551 pulled up, the bus that goes around the loop. I asked the driver if he went to Academy, but he told me he hopped on the highway right after Ingram and his next stop would be Marbach, which is a little further of a walk than Ingram. So I'm going to walk to Academy and see what they got, price stuff.

                   I am stopping in the Texas Thrift Store.

                   Nothing at the thrift store.

     3:19pm  I'm almost to the Academy. I'm going to sit down and eat. I brought some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and some Oreos from home.

     3:37pm  I forgot to tell you. Academy is closed. They had a power-outage because of the strong winds.

     3:53pm  Haha, I'm walking back to Ingram. I just passed Culebra Road. There were all these cops there directing traffic and I jaywalked in front of them. I hear one of them call out, "Victor!" Haha, he was waving the peace sign at me! Haha, everybody knows me!

     4:18pm  I walked all the way back to Ingram, the bus center. All of a sudden this dude recognizes me! What was your name again? Joe. I met him that one day when I smoked under the bridge and him and this fat girl went in the woods and she gave him a blowjob. I'll put a link to that day: 12-4-07, 3:58pm. Joe and I walked in the woods and we are celebrating right on time, awesome.

     4:56pm  Rusto hooked me up with a cigarette here at Ingram. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     5:11pm  Some more magic happened. At the bus stop I was this pretty girl sitting there. I started telling her my story and she was all ears. I'm riding the 607 to Medical Center with her. She listened to my story great. Right now on the bus she just gave me this awesome bracelet. She said her Mayan Indian grandmother made it.

     5:26pm  Hell yeah. Beautiful Claudia. She's seventeen, I think. Her boyfriend is twenty eight. Claudia is beautiful. She gave me this badass bracelet she said her grandmother made. I am all being equipped. Right now I am walking. I got off the 607 with her to finish my story. Over by Glen Oaks elementary, where I went when I was a little kid, the school where this teacher spanked me and put me in the hallway and I ran all the way home to Twin Oaks Apartments. This teacher actually came to my house and tried to pull me out from under the bed. My mom got her fired the next day. Newcome is the street. I'm going to walk to Wurzbach. Hmm, I don't even need to go to University Hospital. I'm going to walk to Planet K and show them my new shirt.

     6:06pm  Chris is hooking me up with a cigarette over on Evers and Wurzbach at the India Store. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     6:17pm  Some cool shit happened. Nobody cool was at Planet K, so I went outside loaded my fake cigarette. Shit, I didn't have a lighter. I went in Planet K and they were all out of matches. So as I am walking almost to Wurzbach I ask this guy pumping gas if he has a lighter. He said no and I told him thanks anyway. I turn around to walk to the bus stop, I don't know when the bus is coming, well this dude yells at me, "Hey, I found a lighter," I walk over to him and he hooks me up. I start walking away. Then I think shit, I should've asked him for a ride. I saw his truck was waiting at the stoplight, going straight, the way I need to go. His light was still red. I walked over to his truck real quick and tapped on his window, "Hey bro, will you give me a ride? I'll smoke you out!" Right when the light turned green he unlocked the door and let me in. We drove to his friend's apartments. Right in front I saw some guy smoking a cigarette and the guy driving told me, "He won't have one. He's always asking for one." I get out and ask him for one anyway, and he hooks me up.

     7:21pm  Christian is the guy's name. The one who gave me a ride. I had a great presentation inside. I got to recite my entire Odyssey story. I had a really receptive audience. Oh yeah, Herb, his friend, he's going to buy me some Buglers at the store. We're going to smoke a big fat blunt.

     8:35pm  Dude, I've had such an awesome night. Christian just dropped me off at the Shell station on Huebner and Eckhert.

     9:05pm  Shweet, I'm at the Shell station and I gave this one guy my website. I told him that I was a long-distance walker, that I had walked around Loop 410. He tells me, "Actually, I took a picture of you." Hell yeah, now he's going to know what I am all about. He said he took a picture of me that one day I was at Ingram with my clown wig.

     9:14pm  Oh yeah, I called my mom and she's going to come pick me up. She's at the Walmart, not that far away. Josh hooked me up with a free paper and I took the crossword puzzle out of it.

Next day..
