Tuesday February 19, 2008

     8:13am  I woke up early and today I went out for a walk. Just for exercise and to learn the town and make my presence known. Right now I'm walking down Goose Bayou road through this suburb, this neighborhood.

     8:21am  Damnit, I walked the wrong way. There's dead ends everywhere. I thought I was walking 390.

     8:39am  I doubled back and I am back on 390 by the Tom Thumb. It sucks. I'm stupid. I walked the wrong way.

     9:02am  I'm walking down 390 about to pass Baldwin Road.
                  
                   By this airport.

     9:16am  I just got to Lisenby and I asked this lady how far it was to that big bridge I walked over with Chris and Harry Potter. She told me it was like three miles. She told me I had to catch the trolley. Let's see if I can get a courtesy ride, hehe.

                   Just got to Sandy Blvd. I'm going to stop at the gas stations here. Express Lane Chevron. I already went to the Petro across the street.

     9:40am  Jason hooked me up with a ride from the Chevron. I appreciate it, brother.

                   Hell yeah, I got me a little hop. I'm going to walk towards the bridge now. I'm at 23rd Street already. I was sitting there eating an apple and smoking a cigarette. I went inside and some lady told me I was three miles away. I'm like two now. I went and sat down at the storage place next door because they had two benches. Some guy who works there came outside and I gave him my website, hehe. Then I saw some cool-lookin' kid walk in the store so I grabbed my bag. I asked him if he was going any closer to the bridge. He told me no, that his truck was full. I started walking away from the gas station and as he was pulling out with his mother he tells me, "I got room in the back." I jumped in the back and bam, transported. His mom, or some older lady who was with him told me, "I like your shirt."

                   St. Andrews Street is where I turn on 23rd, on the way back home. Maybe I'll call Kim to pick me up.

     10:00am  Stopped at Collegiate Drive. Gulf Coast Community College. Hmm.

     10:03am  Florida State University. Weird, there's two colleges right next to each other. FSU and Gulf Coast University. I'm going to keep walking and look for a library.

                     I just got to the library. I'm going to go inside and check and see if I have to be a student to check my email.

     10:13am  I cannot check my email until two 'o clock.

     10:19am  I just gave my website to these two college girls.

     10:30am  I'm walking over the bridge to kill time until two. I just took a picture of a Coast Guard boat.

     10:43am  I am already on the other side of the bridge. I'm going to take a piss in the same place Chris and Harry Potter got those things stuck on them in the sand.

                     For food I brought an orange and an apple and some ham.

     10:55am  I just got to Thomas Drive. Turning left. I'm going to walk over to the Chevron where we met Kim. Man, everybody is staring at my shirt.

     11:06am  Coming up on the Chevron on Laird. I'm going to use the payphone.

     11:08am  Damnit, I only have thirty five cents.

     11:09am  I came to use the payphone but I didn't have enough. Frank hooked me up with some change. I appreciate it, brother.

     11:23am  I need to make an update. Some more magic happened. I only had thirty five cents and I needed to call Kim somehow. The payphone was right next to the stoplight. This couple pulled up in a truck, Frank and Andy. I told them, "I need fifteen cents. One-five," and they hooked me up. I asked them if they were going to the beach and they said no, but could give me a ride if I wanted. Awesome!

     11:27am  I just got dropped off at the Burger King on Front Beach Road. Let me see if I can call Kim. I have enough money for a burger, awesome. I'm going to go across the street to the gas station and use the payphone over there.

                     I thought I had Kim's phone number, but it wasn't hers. It was my older sister's number. I don't want her to worry. I told Chris and Harry to tell Kim I had gone to the beach today. She's supposed to be working all day.

                     Earlier Frank hooked me up with like three dollars in change.

     11:40am  I came in the Burger King and bought a couple sandwiches. Everybody liked my shirt. The cashiers loved it so I gave them my website. The manager got all mad yelling, "No solicitation!"

     11:53am  I came outside to smoke a cigarette after I ate my Whopper. Autumn, the cashier saw my shirt and smiled, so I gave her my website. That's the only reason I give people my website, when they react to my message. The manager got all pissed off, but Autumn told me she got off at two and would smoke a brother out! Awesome. I'll be back.

     12:00pm  I am on the beach. I'm going to take a picture. I went through Public Beach Access 41.

                     I am already on 37. I walked on the coast.

     12:19pm  I am going back streetside at Willy's Pier Bar.

                     Oh, I didn't tell you. Autumn had first told me, "Trade some floorspace for some weed." Cool, might be a possible place to crash. I'd be torn about leaving Kim's. But, Autumn does live on the beach-side and Kim on the crackhead side. Autumn's location would be much more conducive to my Spring Break exposure I want to have. I may have found another crashpad. I don't know. Autumn said she gets off at two and that she'll smoke me out.

     12:32pm  Popped out on Front Beach Road and Thomas Drive. I'm going to rest and smoke a cigarette.

     12:37pm  I came up to this gas station here and I saw all these people smiling at my shirt. Janie just gave me five dollars! Thanks a lot, Janie. You will be on there when I update it.

                     That was awesome! This lady just read my shirt, walked out of her truck and asked me if I needed money. Sure! She gave me a five dollar bill! Hell yeah.

     12:43pm  I walked into the Rainbow Shack and asked this guy, "Can I tell you a really interesting story? I'm not asking for anything." He told me, "No thanks," and he shook his head. Nobody wants world peace, I said. Hehe. I'm supposed to meet this Autumn girl at two and she's supposed to smoke me out.

                     I was walking and this guy on the sidewalk asked me, "How far are you walking today?" I told him I was on my way to save the world and hit him up for my story. He said he was totally willing to listen, but that he had to work. I gave him my website.

                     Cool, I see a Mexican restaurant in this shopping center.

     12:52pm  I just took a picture of this badass car in the parking lot. I think it's a Lotus.

                     It's a Lamborghini.

     12:54pm  Right before the gas station, in the shopping center there's a Mexican restaurant called Los Rancheros.

                     Dylan hooked me up with a cigarette in front of Los Rancheros. I appreciate it, man. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     1:06pm  I had a good presentation with this guy and this girl in front of Los Rancheros. Their cab came so I had to cut the story short.

     1:36pm  I went back to the Chevron and this girl Tiffany asked me if I could get her a Black and Mild because she didn't have her ID on her. She was way over eighteen. I went and and got it for her and she hooked me up with a lot of change. I appreciate it, sister. Always glad to be of service.

      2:04pm  Autumn and Nacole, got off of work at Burger King, they met me at the gas station and they're going to smoke a brother out!
                  
     6:23pm  Be sure to download One Giant Leap. It's about marijuana. Right up my alley. It will be on my website for sure. I'll probably transcribe it and let everybody read it.(I'm proofreading this March 28th and I was unable to locate anything on a movie called One Giant Leap about marijuana.  I found a Mars movie they show in IMAX,)

                   I've had a wonderful night of storytelling over at Autumn's house. Her daughter Harmony. I didn't take any pictures. I need to. She's giving me a ride back to 26th and Jenks to Kim's apartment. Awesome. Thank you.

     6:34pm  John and the Pizza Hut on 26th and Jenks is hooking me up with a pizza. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     6:47pm  My powers of manifestation astound me. Autumn was driving me closer to 26th and Jenks and we drove by and I spotted a Pizza Hut. I yelled let's go get some pizza. Like it usually works, I went in there and asked them if they had any mistakes they could hook me up with and John gave me two pizzas! They're an hour old, but oh well. I totally called that shit. Presto-manifesto! That was awesome. I even have pizza to bring home.

     9:01pm  I have to make an update before I go to sleep. It was awesome how I scored two pizzas earlier. I called that shit. I walked back to Autumn's car and said, "Here, proof-positive." I brought home some pizza and everybody ate some. Chris and Harry Potter are still here. Kim was asleep when I got home. When I got home Chris had heard that I met Autumn and went to her house and told me, "Don't cheat on Kim." Me thinking Kim had said something to him. Man, I thought I made it clear to her that I need to be free to do this mission. I might have another possible place to stash my bag during the day while I walk around and spread my word at Autumn's house. Autumn lives on the other side of the bridge, on the beach-side which would be way more conducive to my Spring Break exposure soon. Duty calls. I mean, I don't even want to be with this Autumn girl. It would be all for the mission, just because she lives closer to the beach.

Next day..
