                   Rene's house, sewing projects, inside house

     9:10am  I took some pictures of myself in front of the house. I want to show how I wear my CamelBak now. Before I would carry it on top of my backpack, but since it leaks every time I bend over I get a shock of cold water to my neck. Oh yeah, I’ve got laundry in my backpack right now. I’m going to walk down 24th and go do some laundry. I need to wash my uniform.

                   Man, I love Rene so much. He gave me another four dollars this morning, awesome. He had given me ten yesterday.

                   I walked to the Laundromat then I went across the street to the McDonald’s. I hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. The Mariscos Mexican restaurant on the way here was closed. I went across the street to the McDonald’s and I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese McGriddle and then just a regular sausage McGriddle too. The Asian casher didn’t hear my say the sausage one too, so she just put my order down as two bacon, egg and cheese ones. I walked up to the counter when they called my number and told the pretty girl who I smiled at when I first walked in that I had ordered a bacon, egg and cheese one too. She smiled and just switched out the McGriddles. The bacon, egg and cheese one are fifty cents more expensive than the regular sausage ones. I ate them both. I’m considering walking all the way downtown. I’ll get hooked up at taquerias and stuff for the food it will take to walk downtown. I’ll also be hauling a small load of laundry, but that’s alright. It’s not that heavy.

     12:48pm  Hell yeah, I got hooked up with a fatass burrito at Lalo’s Mexican Food. I ate inside, the lady told me to sit down so I did. She brought out this beautiful huge burrito.

     1:24pm  I’m still on the light rail. It just got to City College. My feet hurt in these new shoes. I’m not going to try walking downtown at all. I wish I had my other shoes. My feet are just confused and not used to them. I’m going to go check my email at the library.

     1:32pm  They’re not letting me use the computers in the library today. They’re real busy right now. Tons of student demand. No public access. I don’t know what I’m going to do. Now I am really glad I opted not to walk here.

     2:47pm  About five minutes ago I got back to Rene's house. I'm going to try and take a nap. I didn't do shit today.

     7:57pm  Nice, the guy's at the Meadowview Food Market have always been cool with me. I was busy spreading the word across the street at the stoplight from them. Nobody gave me any change and I was hungry, so I went inside and asked them if they could spare a burrito for world peace. At first they hesitated, but then they talked to themselves in Palestinian and agreed to give me some fruit. They gave me an apple and an orange. I thanked them and walked outside to leave. Then, one of them comes out and hands me a $25 gift debit card! They just gave me twenty five bucks! That's awesome. Way to support the cause, brothers. I appreciate it. It seems like Palestine wants world peace too. I took one of their pictures in front for the store, the dude who gave me the card.

     8:15pm  I had a nice little calling over to the corner. Around six thirty or so I walked back to Meadowview and 24th to spread the word and pass out my website. When I got hungry I walked over to the food market to smoke a cigarette and try and tell my story to somebody.

Next day..
