Monday February 16, 2009

     6:02am  I woke up early and left the shelter already. There's nothing open this early. I was going to go to BayKing for day-old donuts, but they're not open yet. Right now I'm walking Telegraph to the 7-11. I'm going to go buy some cigarettes.

     6:42am  I've been hanging out at the 7-11 because it started raining again. Oh yeah, I'm quite proud of myself. I figured out a way to wear my blue tarp around my waist and double as a rain skirt. My front and back packs hold it in place so with my rain poncho I am totally waterproof. Now I won't get wet waist down. It's cool that my tape recorder is still working. I don't have to buy a new one just yet. I've got like a hundred and fifty bucks left. I've been buying snacks and stuff and eating. I want to spend a hundred dollars on tee shirts and fifty bucks on some other stuff. Maybe all fifty on a tape recorder. Maybe not. Maybe a CamelBak bladder, maybe not. I have decided I want to spend a hundred dollars on tee shirts alone. I'm going to go to the screen printing place today when the sun comes out, in fact. I had a big apple fritter for breakfast. That's right, I'm going to go to Wingnut Breakfast at eight 'o clock.

                   I bought me a pocket atlas at the 7-11.

     8:14am  I am standing in line at the breakfast. I just got invited to some bridge to eat some mushrooms. Oh wait, I have to go do tee shirts. I have to go to the Zeezee Graphics place and get some more havethisbook.com sheets printed out.

                   Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I walked over to Berkeley Screenprinting and met Pavel, the guy that works there. I walked in and said, "I want to spend one hundred dollars on tee shirts. Let me show you what I want." I showed him my shirt and he said no problem. He told me to come back Wednesday so he'll have time to, I forgot the term he used, so he would have time to copy the screen print.
                   Pavel said a hundred dollars would make me seven shirts. I ordered 3 blacks with white print, 2 forest green with white print and 2 white with black print. The lettering should be the same size as my old shirts. He asked me for half the money and I gave him fifty bucks. Then I just gave him the other fifty to have it paid in full. After Wednesday I'll have to wait two days after that for the shirts.

                   Pretty girl I told my story to

     1:22pm  I had a good presentation here with Ujama. I only got to the part As Far As Marijuana Goes..but he had to go. I just gave out my last havethisbook.com paper. I'm going to walk to the Zeezee copy store and get some more printed out. I want to go to the library and check my email.

                   Oh yeah, yesterday I ran into this kid Packrat who I shared some Muscle Blast 2000 a long time ago. I haven't been documenting much lately.

                   I walked over to Shattuck and I'm just standing here passing out my website to people. I have so much fun when the ignore me and keep walking by. I straight up ask people, "Damn! Have you always been that ignorant? I was just testing you anyway. Nobody wants world peace! That's right, be afraid, be afraid. I know you can hear me!" Hehe, I have so much fun with it. I've decided when I pass out my remaining websites, I'll walk to the ZeeZee Graphics place and go get some more made. Hmm, even though I could probably get some made at the library. Nah, I want to get a shitload printed out at the copy store. Then I'll walk to the library.

     2:25pm  I just came out of ZeeZee Graphics. I am all loaded up with havethisbook.coms. Twenty sheets' worth for four bucks. I won't run out for a long time.

     3:33pm  Awesome, some guy just walked up and gave me a joint! Sweet, I got weed. More weed. I was holding my free hugs sign here in Downtown Berkeley.

Next day..
