Wednesday April 22, 2009
                  
     7:10am  I woke up around six with 6.47 hours of sleep. I'm still tired, but I didn't want to fall back asleep. I'm cleaning up right now. All these Mexican workers are working outside.

                   Ah, I've had a pretty pleasant morning. I did a lot of cleaning. The living room is spotless now. I swept the floor. It sucks that I only had the push broom to sweep with. I used it as a pull broom[9-26-08:11:55am]. I think the other broom is in the garage which is locked. I cleaned up the bathroom and everything and made the couch all nice. I'm tired and I can't take a nap because the Mexicans are in the back yard banging. I don't have any money. I could ride the train for free, but I'm going to be tired. I could go to the City College and type, but typing makes me all drowsy if I'm tired. I'm all stoned. I'm bored and I'm going to try transcribing on paper my recordings. I did do another sewing project. I patched up the tear in the compression bag for my sleeping bag. I'm really glad I saved it. I also re-stitched my Thank You For Pot Smoking patch on my pack. I spent a lot of time sewing and got it done. I'm going to transcribe now.

     2:24pm  I didn't tell you, I left the house. I'm going to walk the mile to the Valero on Amherst and fill up my bag with ice. I'll see how traffic is and go spread the word with my support the cause sign.

     3:06pm  I don't look like a bum at all right now. I'm at the KFC right now. I came to fill up with ice. They wouldn't let me have a cup, so I grabbed a water cup out of the trashcan. I am considering maybe not spreading the word here at Amherst and 24th. I filled up my bag and then I heard some black dude asking for a glass for water and they wouldn't give him one, so I gave him the one I was using, even though it came out of the trash, but it was perfectly clean. Someone had even written "water" on it. Right when I was about to leave this six year old kid walks up to me and hands me five dollar bills! "Here you go." I logged his generosity and gave him my website. I was sure to ask him his age. Like I said, I've got a magic shirt. He(or his parents) know it's his world I am saving. He was this little Asian kid.

     3:22pm  I've decided I'm going to spread the word on the corner after all. 24th and Amherst, caddy-corner from the KFC.

     4:48pm  About half an hour ago I got bored spreading the word on the corner. I walked the mile back to 24th. I'm standing on the median island right now where all the cars line up to turn left. It was cool. I saw these brothers walking with Swisher Sweets and I yelled at them, "Yo, I got five on it!" Right then this dude at the stoplight tells me, "Yo, I've got weed." He gave me a small handful right there at the light and I gave him the five. How perfect.

     6:25pm  About five minutes ago I woke up from a little nap. I crashed out on the couch right here.

Next day..
