     6:22am  I just woke up not too long ago. My tape's about to run out. Oh yeah, I didn't tell you. For my birthday I got my shoes! My Nike Shox! My little brother gave them to me. Everybody pitched in for them. He had bought size twelves and I wanted thirteens, so he gave me the receipt and I'm going to exchange them today. They cost $107! It's really cool that I'm going to be able to return them, so I'll get to pick out a better-looking pair. I wish I could get the kind I have now, with the zipper over the laces. My brother said they don't make them anymore. Let's find out. I've got something to do today. I'm going to get out of the house.

     7:58am  I didn't tell you. My mom gave me a ride to Ingram Mall. I'm going to go switch out these shoes.

                   Oh yeah, I totally forgot the mall doesn't open until ten in the morning. I'm going to walk back to the park and ride and hang out and bum cigarettes, smoke some weed and tell my story.

     8:12am  Alex hooked me up with two cigarettes at the Ingram Park and Ride. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     8:46am  Man, I'm having a great morning out here at the Ingram Park and Ride.

                   I'm having a really cool morning. This girl just rode by on her bike and I told her, "Hey, wanna hit my peace pipe?" She told me no. I've been asking everybody and nobody wants to hit my pipe. Oh yeah, I've told my story twice.

     8:48am  Nancy hooked me up with a cigarette at the bus stop here at Ingram. I appreciate it, Nancy.

     8:50am  That girl who was riding around on her bike, anyway I just switched out my tapes. The girl who was riding around on her bike, I saw her standing there in front of the door and when I started walking towards her to tell her my story, she rode off and rode around a couple times. She sat down on the bus bench and sparked up a cigarette. So I went over and asked her if she could spare one. I logged her generosity and you could tell she was uncomfortable. I asked her if I could tell her my story and she just shook her head. I almost asked her if she'd always been that ignorant, but then I remembered she gave me a cigarette so I just told her, "Ignorance is bliss," and walked off. Hehe, she's all watching me record myself.

                   Oh yeah, on my webpage, on the part where it says what my good friend BJ has to say about my mission. In parenthesis be sure to put(blow job).

                   I just got my new shoes! They're awesome. I can fly.

                   This guy just walked by and I pointed to my shoes and said, "I got my new kicks!" I'm all happy.

                   I'm going to go in the Villa Maria's Mexican Restaurant here and tell them, "Yesterday was my birthday. Look at my new shoes. Don't suppose you can spare any gasoline for my stomach as a birthday present?"

     10:45am  I'm getting hooked up.

     10:50am  La gente amable en Villa Maria me estan dando un taco. Gasolina para el estomago, otra vez. Te lo agradezco, gracias. Todo el mundo recibe crédito.

     10:55am  When I went to the Villa Maria place, the guy in the back recognized me and I overheard him telling the manager, in Spanish, "This guy is writing a book. He's going to get marijuana legalized." Then I left and I told the manager, "Alguien lo tiene que hacer." Then this girl there told me, "Thank you."

                     This is my town.

                     Do you know why I don't work for money? Because I don't need to work for money.

                     To the victor go the spoils.

     11:02am  Right after I ate my fat taco John hooked me up with two cigarettes. After-meal smoke. I appreciate it, brother.

     11:04am  David came up to me and said, "Hey, remember me from NABI? We smoked some weed." I told him, "Umm, you'll have to narrow it down."

     11:12am  Oh yeah, then right then the 610 came and it was Mr. Perez driving. The guy who hates giving me courtesy rides. I stepped on and told him, "Yesterday was my birthday. Will you hook me up with a ride home?" He quickly told me no. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a dollar and said, "I guess I'll pay the god-damn fare then." I walked a little and I called him a greedy ass. I pulled out my recorder and said, "Everybody gets credit."

     11:48am  I just got off the 610 by the Citgo by my mom's.

     12:02pm  I'm just now getting to my mom's house now. I'm glad I didn't take off walking downtown, like I thought I might. These shoes hurt right now. I have to break them in before I take off walking. I just love these shoes. I'm going to take a picture of them.

     5:18pm  I just woke up from my nap. I had a long nap.

     3:10am  I'm going to sleep. I'm already on October 2003 in proofreading. I'm going backwards.

Next day..
