Gulfport to Saint Petersburg and back, FL

Friday April 25, 2008

     7:41am  I woke up like about fifteen minutes ago. I got about seven and a half hours of sleep last night. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to call Echo at eight.

     12:31pm  It's about time I made an update. I totally went gonzo in Mike's kitchen today, dude. I woke up early this morning and went at it. It's perfect now. I should've taken before and after pictures. It's perfect now. I dusted everything in there. It was filthy. I took a long time doing it. I was pretty thorough. In the middle of cleaning Echo came over with some pastor. Pastor Bruce, I think. She introduced me to him. She told him, "He's the one I'd be traveling with." Umm, I don't know about Echo. She's still brainwashed and is always talking how she does so much with the US Department of Peace. I think it's all a waste of time. The government is just a game. I believe my ideas are right and they will give all the people the things they want, without needing the complication of having anything to do with the government, which is evil. I mean, people actually trust the government and think they are acting on their behalf. It's going to get to the point where I'm going to tell her, "Listen, if you want to come with me I will require you to obsess yourself with my mission and my mission only. I am not trying to do anything with the government. You can't fuck the system with the system. There are safeguards in place to prevent that. If you are not willing to commit yourself to my cause then I need to continue on my own. You cannot walk with me." Ultimatum. Plus, she's got that whole John thing going. She's supposed to be getting married for crying out loud! He has no clue of her lies. Echo is going to rip John's heart out. She's a space-cadet.

                   I took shots of myself in the mirror to show my streamlined-ness, hehe.  Compare that to me 

from 12-17-03, five years ago.

     1:18pm  I am leaving The Patch. Brian made some delicious fried rice and gave me some. It was delicious. I'm going to go buy me some Ramen. Then I'm going to walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus and try to get a courtesy ride. I'm full. I'll walk it if I have to.

     1:26pm  I went and bought me a Ramen for thirty five cents. I walked back to The Patch and I refilled my water bottle. They have a filter on the sink. I'm going to go wait at the bus stop over by York Street where Echo lives. Maybe she'll come outside.

     1:58pm  Man, I waited for like a whole half hour and the bus driver recognized me and didn't stop.

     2:03pm  I'm not going to walk all the way to Tyrone. I'm going to walk to the public library here in Gulfport and check my email for an hour. I can hopefully get some typing done at Echo's tonight. I'm going to have a big talk with Echo.  Poster at library.

                   I'm going to tell her, "Listen, if you want to walk with me, before you break up the new family that you're starting, you know you shouldn't be with this guy because he's not for you anyway, if you want to go with me you must abandon all your causes and support only mine. Because mine is the only one that's going to realistically work. The government doesn't want us to be free or happy. Why would you trust them?"

                   You don't think the system has safeguards to prevent it from destroying itself? You are wasting your time, Echo.

                   The internet is not part of the system, nor will it ever be.

     3:11pm  Library.

     3:27pm  Guess what. I came to the Gulfport library and have secured myself a workstation here I can type on. I can type on a catalog computer. They've got two and they are barely used. There's no internet access on them but I just need Windows Notepad, which it has. I've got everything I need here. I'm taking my first break. I'm going to eat this Ramen and smoked a cigarette. Then I'll go back inside and do some more typing. I don't really need Echo's computer now. I can just come to the library and type all day.

     3:48pm  I took a meal break and I'm going to get back to typing.

     4:45pm  I am done at the library. I am really psyched out about my new workstation. I can come here and do this all day. I am only on April 7th. I've got like eighteen more days to go. I already left Key West in my typing. I'm headed up to Fort Lauderdale.

                   Oh yeah, I'm going to go hang out with Echo and tell her that ultimatum I've been thinking about. Let's see how she reacts to that.

     4:51pm  I smoked a cigarette outside the library and I'm walking to see what Echo's gotta say.

                   Her car's not at her house. I wonder where she is. I'm going to walk to The Patch.

     5:06pm  I'm almost to The Patch and there's Echo's car, cool.

     6:50pm  Echo and I drove around. Man, she lost her engagement ring. Her promise ring. Man, she's got to follow the signs and break up with him already. She's like been having sex with him every night. Shocked, I asked her, "Don't you feel guilty? That you're planning on breaking up with him, but are still giving him the impression that you still want to marry him by continuing to have sex with him and pretending to be passionate?" She's always calling up her pastor for advice and she wants to have a group session with all three of them to talk about the sins of premarital sex. Like she's going to try and use that as an excuse to call the wedding off. Anyway, she lost her promise ring John gave her. She came over to The Patch and pestered Mike to give her twenty dollars and we, me and her, drove over to the Walmart to buy another ring so John will never notice. She needed a replacement so she could still play along.
