Tuesday March 24, 2009

                   We woke up fucking cold. I'll take a picture of the camp we made. Last night we slept on a big mattress of twigs. I slept alright, I guess. Andria didn't, she was cold.
                  
     8:08am  We caught the bus to the transfer center and we're waiting for the #2 to Prado.

     10:00am  Tyler smoked us out at the Prado Center. Well, at the bus stop. I'm all stoned.

                     The nice driver is giving me a courtesy ride back into town. I'm going to go fly my sign. I had a pretty good day at Prado. I didn't get any typing done because it's too loud and I don't have headphones. Oh yeah, at the day center I found a Carlos Casteneda book I haven't read. The Teachings of Don Juan. I came to the Macintosh store and they'll let me get one free printout a day! Awesome, this place is my reload station. Impact font, size 26.

     4:26pm  I am late. Brett hooked me up with a couple cigarettes on Higuera. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.

                   I'm standing on Higuera flying my HOOK A BROTHER UP/SMOKE A BROTHER OUT sign. Joe-Bob stopped and talked to me and listened to my story and then invited me for a slice of pizza. We're walking to Woodstock's Pizza now. Thanks for feeding the peace machine.

                   That guy was cool as hell. We walked over to Woodstocks and he ordered us slices of Mustang Pizza. He liked The Note From the Rich a lot. He had just gotten busted hardcore by the feds for a little marijuana.

     5:05pm  I'm talking to Rosemary. She listened to my story. I took her picture. Isn't she beautiful?

                   Beautiful girl. She had pretty eyes.

                   Roxanna hooked me up with a cigarette on Higuera. I appreciate it. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot.

     6:05pm  I'm having a good presentation with Daniel and his friend Ray. Daniel volunteered me a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother.

     6:22pm  Beautiful Leah just gave me a dollar. I appreciate it, Lea. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     6:25pm  Robert hooked me up with a dollar. I appreciate it, Robert. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot.

     7:44pm  Nicole she walked by and saw my sign and volunteered me a couple bucks. I appreciate it, Nicole. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot.

     8:06pm  I had an awesome presentation with beautiful Nicole. She was wearing a jacket. She was the most beautiful girl I've seen tonight. She was laughing at my stuff hardcore.

     8:35pm  I had an stupendous presentation with beautiful Anita. Real pretty girl.

     8:55pm  I've had a good night spreading the word on Higuera tonight. I got eight dollars, I think. I told my story to so many people and I was passing out my site like hotcakes. I was able to get me a nickel sack, a little nugget.

                   I'm wondering where I'm going to crash. I thought about walking all the way out to the field on Madonna and 101 again. I finally found that Jack House place. I'm going to scout around the property and see if there's a concealed area.

     9:35pm  I changed my mind about the Jack House. I'm not that far from Madonna. I'll walk it.

                   I stopped at Sandy's, the liquor store. I asked the Middle Eastern guy inside if I could fill up my bag with ice and he only let me get one cup's worth. The cookies I wanted were $1.59 and I only had $1.20. He hooked me up. I walked by the Circle K and looked in the dumpster with my flashlight hoping there would be some more donuts in there. There wasn't. There were these other street kids there. A guy and a girl. I got to fill up my bag with ice at the Circle K. The girl there was real cool. The ice dispenser fits my CamelBak perfectly.

     11:11pm  I am crashing out. Goodnight, everyone.

Next day..
