San Antonio, TX

Saturday March 13, 2004

     12:56am  I bought me two donuts and Josh hooked me up and only charged me a dollar. I appreciate it, brother.

     1:13am  I just got dropped off at, he wouldn't take me all the way to my mom's. At least he brought me here. I forgot his name. He just went in to HEB to buy beer. He told me he was turning twenty one next month. He got his friend to buy him some beer. Oh yeah, while I was talking to him he told me, "Oh, I've never smoked marijuana." I go, "Oh, would you care to?" He tells me, "No, but if you had any you want to give me I can put it to good use." I say, "I can't spare any. I'll smoke you out." He told me that all his friends smoked it. I repeated, "Well, I'll smoke you out."

     1:18am  I'm walking down the street. It's raining real hard and stuff. This one car was going slow. The car behind him got pissed off and started honking his horn. Why the hell is that dude in such a hurry?

     2:37am  I found a cigarette hiding behind my ear. I didn't know it was there. I'm going to go smoke it out on the back porch.

     7:54am  I just woke up.

     8:50am  I was about to leave. I want to go have a good day. I want to go downtown. It's Saturday. I'm wearing my rainbow colors. I'm a beam of light. It's so cool that my mom never changed the desktop picture. It still has my beamoflight.jpg 

picture as the background. She once told me, "That picture hurts my eyes." Hehe, it's a picture.

     9:31am  Oh yeah, I forgot. I already left walking from my mom's house. I had asked my mom, "Mom, why did you cut down two trees in the backyard?" She gives me some bullshit, "Oh, I always told you I wanted a nice backyard with lots of room." I got mad and told her, "Mom, that's what made the backyard so nice. All the trees out there." She never goes out there anyway. She's lazy.

                   Oh yeah, she cut down that mimosa tree that was in the middle of the yard. Like she had it cut down to the stump. But, she didn't kill it. It's coming back with all it's might. I told my mom how it survived her attack and she says, "Yes, I noticed. I'm going to have to cut those new branches, too." I yell at her, "No! Why would you?!" She says, "What do you mean?" I tell her, "Have some respect, mother. It was here first, damnit." I just hmmphed and walked out of the room.

     9:42am  I just decided I'm going to walk to the Walmart. I can give people the peace sign on the way there. It would be closer to walk to the Citgo ten minutes away on Guilbeau/Old Tezel, but I don't have any bus fare. At least at the Walmart there's a bus circle where three or four routes pass. There, I can check to see what the letter of the day is and look through my stash of old transfers.

     9:50am  I changed my mind and walked to the Citgo. Sure enough, the 610 came and Mr. Mendez hooked me up with a courtesy ride to the Walmart.

     9:56am  I just got to the Walmart. I'm bored. I don't know what to do. The letter of the day is Aaron. I got one A transfer. I'm going to go inside and play videogames for free. Actually, I want a cigarette. I'm going to go see if there's anyone outside smoking then I'll go play a videogame.

     10:41am  I forgot. I remembered I had a dollar. I bought me a sausage burrito at the McDonald's.

     10:57am  I'm getting on the 610 to Medical Center. Let's see if my decoy transfer works. They always do.

     11:26am  Juna's hooking me up with a cigarette at the hospital. Badass, she gave me two! I appreciate it sister.

     11:35am  I'm catching the 604 to Crossroads.

     11:38am  I had a good presentation with this guy who just got on the bus. I couldn't tell him the whole thing because we got to his stop. He told me, "Let me tell you something. You know, there are a lot of people out there that think like you." I told him, "Yeah, I know. I'm going to bring the truth out of hiding. It's going to happen soon." That guy was all smiles when he got off the bus.

     11:40am  I'm on the 604 bus. I had a quarter and I was saving it for a transfer. I went up to the driver and dropped a quarter in the farebox. He didn't do anything. I ask him, "Can I get a transfer, please?" He yells, "You didn't pay! You didn't pay!" I told him, "Excuse me, I gave you a transfer when I got on. You don't remember? Do you think I am lying?" He didn't say anything.

                     Haha, he recognized me! I'm all rainbowed out today. He thought I was trying to get a free ride(little does he know I already got it).

     11:41am  I got the strange impulse to get off the 604 in front of Fountainhead Apartments on Horizon Hill. I'm going to walk to my friend's house at The Fountains of San Antonio. Oh yeah, I can talk to that girl who lives upstairs too. The one who went to Charter Real. I did an interview with her(1-23-04, 5:37pm).

     11:54am  I just had me a great presentation with this girl in a car. A white Honda. License K81-LMD. Very good sale. Blew her mind, hopefully. She really listened to me.

                     I'm going to stay around here for a while. Hehe, she said, "Oh man, they're going to kill you."

     12:16pm  I just had a badass presentation with these kids. In the end they were all, "Keep with the plan, man." Awesome, awesome.

     12:22pm  Marco hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. I got a lighter, thanks anyway.

     12:47pm  I just had me an awesome presentation with that dude who gave me the cigarette. He listened to my whole story. At first I wasn't going to say that whole thing, then he asked me, "So where have you been?" I told him, "I'll tell you a story . . . umm, after I finish this cigarette though." I took a couple drags off it and said, "I'm sorry. I can't keep you in suspense like that. That's not fair." I told him my story.

     12:50pm  I'm going to walk up to my friend's apartment where Horizon Hill hits Fairhaven. Fountains of San Antonio.

     12:55pm  I'm back in front of Gino's Food Mart, where I was before, where I bummed that cigarette. I'm waiting for the bus.

     1:10pm  Screw the bus. I'm going to walk through Promontory Pointe Apartments. I used to deliver pizza here. They tipped at this place. It's all about money here.

     1:18pm  I'm walking through Promontory Pointe and I pass this red Ford truck. It has all these tires in the back of it. I just glanced to the side when I passed it and I saw one of the tires said, "LIBERATOR." That's a sign. I took a picture of it. Oh man, how random. I'm going to keep following them, my signs. I'm going to keep going.

     1:20pm  I hit this guy up for a story in the parking lot. At first he said, "What's up?" I told him my platform and he stopped me, "Can we talk about this later?" He walked off. I told him, "Ignorance is bliss, I guess. You can just wait to hear about it when the rest of the world does."

     1:30pm  I'm going to walk up to the Whataburger Limited and see if Sean is working.

     1:32pm  I didn't see Sean. I'm going to walk to Blanco's Mexican Restaurant.

     1:40pm  I just took a picture of this photographic memory sign at Blanco's. It's funny.

     1:43pm  This worker at the Mexican restaurant came up to me and asked me what I wanted. I told him to surprise me. He said, "Nah man, I don't like choosing for people." I told him, "Whatever you don't mind giving me." He insisted I choose and I finally told him to give me two fajita tacos with sour cream. He said, "Alright."

                    Oh yeah, and this other dude when I came in told me, "Man, it's Spring Break. You don't get a day off?" I told him, "Nope, I got me a full-time job. No days off."

                    I scored me three bigass fajita tacos with sour cream. Those tacos were scrumptious. I'm done now. I'm going to walk to the gas station and bum a cigarette.

                    Oh yeah, and it was Art who hooked me up. Thanks a lot, Art.

     2:05pm  Mr. Mathers kicked me off the bus. I was just testing you. You failed. He told me, "You gotta start paying." I told him, "No, I don't."

                   Haha, start paying? Shyeah right.

                   Oh well, twenty minutes. There'll be another one.

                   Mr. Mathers said, "Man, it's like the fourth or fifth time." I told him, "Yeah and you got credit for each time. Don't you want credit for this one too?"

     2:14pm  The 92 pulled up and he hooked me up with a courtesy ride. I told him my story and he asked me how long I had been working on it. I told him, "Years and years. You can count on me."

     3:05pm  I'm at Travis Park now.

     4:02pm  I had a great presentation on The Riverwalk! These kids listened to my whole story! 

     4:06pm  Greg hooked me up with a cigarette on The Riverwalk. I appreciate it, brother.

     4:13pm  I'm back at my little spot by the Five and Dime. I had a great presentation with this whole family.

     4:32pm  I had a damn good presentation with this Travis kid. I got all the way through it.

                  What was your name again? Helgar let me roll a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother.

     4:52pm  I was telling these other brothers my story here and these other guys walk by and I hear them say, "Yeah, this guy here is going to legalize dope." They just kept walking.

                   Haha, I'm famous. Everybody knows.

     5:05pm  I just had a marvelous presentation with these guys from Europe. It was awesome.

     5:17pm  It was cute. This little kid just walked by. He had all these cracker crumbs in his hands and he stopped and offered me some. Awww.

                   They know it's their world I'm trying to save.

     5:30pm  Katie hooked me up with a menthol here in front of the Five and Dime. I appreciate it, Katie. Everybody gets credit in my game.

     5:43pm  I just had this great presentation with these two girls on The Riverwalk. It was awesome. They agreed with me like crazy.

     6:02pm  I had a great presentation with these guys who just came down the stairs. 

     6:06pm  I just asked these people who had a video camera, "Hey, can I tell you guys an interesting story? I'm not asking for anything. I just want you to listen." They told me no thanks. I told them, "Have you always been that ignorant?" I hope they got that on tape.

     6:08pm  Another presentation, but as soon as I said marijuana they turned their ears off.

     6:18pm  Didi hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother.

     6:24pm  Spectacular presentation with this guy Didi.

     6:25pm  I hit these girls up for a story. One had a rain poncho on. They told me they had to go. I told them they could just wait to hear about it when the rest of the world does.

     6:27pm  Brian just gave me a cigarette in front of the Five and Dime. I appreciate it, brother.

                    Badass, I had a great presentation with Brian and friends. I got another cigarette too.

                    Haha, all these old people ran away from me and got on the other side of the pillar.

     7:04pm  Man, I am famous. All these kids were crowding around me listening to my legend. Like I was drawing a crowd. I love an audience.

                    Great presentations tonight. 

     7:15pm  Marie hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the Five and Dime. I appreciate it, Mari.

     7:38pm  I asked John earlier for a cigarette and he told me no, that his wife had them. He went inside and got me one. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit in my game.

                   I am having a great night. I had a huge audience. People were all crowding around listening to me.

     8:17pm  I had yet another great presentation with these kids. They got a picture of me and I got a picture of them.

     8:47pm  Vince just hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the Five and Dime. I appreciate it, brother.

     9:00pm  Morgan came up to me and blessed me with all this listening. She gave me some attention. I just took a picture of her, so everyone can see the girl who listened to me on The Riverwalk.

                   Man, that was a badass presentation I just had with Morgan. Oh yeah, I saw Josue on The Riverwalk earlier. Umm, I gotta take a piss.

     9:17pm  Esmerelda at Dante's Pizza is hooking me up. For the cause.

     9:28pm  I walked up here to Commerce and LoSoya. These guys recognized me from one time I smoked with them in front of Rivercenter Mall.

                  We need to regress a little if we want to progress a lot.

     9:54pm  Morales hooked me up with a cigarette here at Travis Park.

     10:00pm  Jorge on the 92 hooked me up with a courtesy ride. I appreciate it, brother.

                     I asked him, "Hey, can I get a free ride to the hospital?" He said, "Yeah, come on."

     10:14pm  I just gave him my presentation and got his email address. It's archangel03@msn.com. I blew his mind. He told me, "Good luck. Good luck."

     10:38pm  I just got to University Hospital. It's late. I don't think there's any more buses going out to like West Telemarketing. I don't know.

     10:48pm  I've decided I'm going to walk to Planet K on Evers/Wurzbach. I think they close at midnight.

     10:54pm  I stopped at the gas station at Wurzbach/Babcock and Mike still works here. The crazy dude who worked here back when I lived with Rafael in Deer oaks.

     11:25pm  I walked all the way to Planet K.

     11:26pm  Camilo hooked me up with a cigarette. A rolly.

                      Dude, I just went to Planet K and I went to the back. Guess what. They can't sell any pipes or bongs anymore. There's like a big FBI and DEA investigation against all San Antonio headshops. I took a picture of all that stuff.

     11:45pm  Bob hooked me up with a cigarette here at Planet K. I appreciate it, brother.

Next day..
