Tuesday February 8, 2005
8:12am I woke up not too long ago. I just got out of the bathroom. I took a shit and now I'm going to eat breakfast.
9:14am I do believe I am done proofreading.
11:06am I just finished typing up my stuff. I'm going to format the HTML files now. I'm on February 8th already.
12:33pm I'm about to leave the house. I just burned my backup and I'm ready to go out. I got it in my bag and now I'm going to go try and get smoked out somewhere. I'm going to crash at Sam's tonight, then tomorrow morning I'm going to send my stuff out.
Actually, it's kind of cold outside. I'm going to put my thermals on before I leave.
Oh, I didn't tell you. I'm here at the Citgo already. I'm going to see if I can get a courtesy ride. Please Love, grant me a courtesy ride. Grant me some marijuana today, too. Please.
12:40pm Olivia hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the Citgo. I appreciate it, sister. I got a light, thanks anyway.
12:48pm The nice driver who always hooks me up, hooked me up again.
It was funny. When I asked that black girl for a cigarette she snapped, "Do you smoke?" I told her, "Yup, tobacco and marijuana." She said, "Well, then where are your cigarettes?" I told her, "I don't have any, that's why I asked you for one." I pulled out my tape recorder and said, "But, keep in mind I'm writing a book on generosity the whole world is going to read and you'd be in it if you gave me a cigarette. You'll be in it even if you don't." She laughed and gave me a menthol. I logged her generosity and walked to the bus bench across the street from the bus stop. She was going to catch the bus too. I told her my mission objectives and she thought I was crazy. Well, when we saw the bus coming we both crossed the street and I told her, "Okay, just watch me get a courtesy ride." She was all, "Ha! I gotta see this. If you get a courtesy ride . . ." She didn't finish her sentence. She told me, "That guy is a greedy ass. He won't give you a ride." I saw that it was the same nice Hispanic driver who always hooks me up. The bus stopped and she got on and paid her fare. I got on the bus and told the driver, "Hey, she doesn't think you'll give me a courtesy ride." The driver(wish I got his name) told me, "Why would she think that? I've given you a courtesy ride before." I told him, "My thoughts exactly." He waved me on and I walked to the back of the bus with a big grin on my face. I told her, "Ask and thou shall receive." She was cracking up and amazed. I talked her ear off until we got to University Hospital.
Olivia gave me a stick of gum too. I appreciate it.
Sure enough, the universe provides.
I'm at the hospital asking all the drivers for a transfer.
1:42pm This other greedy ass on the 610 wouldn't give me a transfer either.
1:45pm Mr. Alaniz told me no. He told me, "You've asked me before."
1:47pm The greedy ass driving the 534 didn't give me a transfer either.
1:54pm Sauceda told me no.
Cool, the nice driver Mr. Ariazola hooked me up with a dollar for bus fare. I appreciate it, brother.
1:58pm I asked Mr. Ariazola for a transfer and he wouldn't answer me at first. I asked again and he said, "Umm, I'm thinking about it. You can wait for me out there." He eventually comes out of the bus and hands me a dollar! Praise Love, Praise Love. Thank you, Love.
2:55pm I'm downtown.
3:06pm Ha, I went to Travis Park and this dumbass bible thumper tried to hand me some bullshit. I walked past him then I went back and hit him up for my story. I asked him what the world's greatest problem was and he said, "I don't know what is it, but I know how to solve it. With Jesus," and he tried handing me some pamphlet again. I tried to tell him my stuff and the second I said ignorance he turned around and walked off.
3:08pm I jumped back on the 92. The park was dead. No weed. That stupid bible thumper.
3:33pm I am in front of Santa Fe Place, Sam's apartments.
3:47pm Nobody is home at Santa Fe. I'm going to walk to the thrift store and see if they have a T-shirt for me today.. The Texas Thrift Store over by Gardina and Fredericksburg. Where another Olivia works.
4:14pm I went to the thrift store and looked through their shirts. The only one I liked was this white one that said, "Don't mess with Texas." I went up to the girl cashier and asked her, "Hey, can I have this shirt? I know you guys don't pay for any of this stuff." She told me, "Well, that's my manager right there." I said, "Okay, I'll ask her. Oh hey, does Olivia still work here?" She told me Olivia came in at five. I said, "Okay, I'll just ask your manager." She looks at me and says, "Umm, you should probably wait until Olivia gets here." She told me she'd hold the shirt. I'm going to go try and get hooked up with some tacos at Arriba El Norte(1-2-05, 8:15am).
4:20pm They told me no at Tinkataco. The girl told me that manager wasn't there.
4:40pm Ana Socorro me esta dando gasolina para el estomago en el restauran Puro Jalisco. Te lo agradezco, Ana. Todo el mundo recibe crédito, gracias.
4:42pm Paul hooked me up with a cigarette over here at Fredericksburg and Dechantle. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.
5:10pm I forgot to tell you. I was walking towards Santa Fe and I ran into Sam walking down the sidewalk. He was walking to Big Lots to go buy some computer speakers. I sat down at a bus stop and ate my tacos. I told him I would meet him in the store. I finished my tacos and spotted Sam walking back carrying nothing. He told me they didn't have any computer speakers and that he'd have to go to the Super Target tomorrow. I told him, "Let's just go right now." That's where we're walking now.
Nobody was home at Santa Fe still. It's going to suck if I don't get any marijuana tonight. Umm, I think I'm going to go to the Diamond Shamrock and ask people for spare change.
7:03pm George hooked me up with some change at the Diamond Shamrock. I appreciate it, brother. He gave me fifty cents.
7:05pm Rudy hooked me up with some change at the Diamond Shamrock. I appreciate it, brother.
7:07pm Luis hooked me up with some change at the Diamond Shamrock. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.
7:15pm Tony hooked me up with some change at the Diamond Shamrock. I appreciate it, brother.
7:21pm Hector hooked me up with some change at the Diamond Shamrock. I appreciate it, brother.
7:35pm I got ran out of the Diamond Shamrock, hehe. Finally. I got like three dollars in change. I'm going to try and get some weed.
7:44pm Jose gave me a cigarette at Santa Fe. We're outside waiting for Teo. He's supposed to be getting some weed.
