     9:03am  Dude, I had a magical adventure last night. (Shit, right here I accidentally recorded over some, let's see how much I remember.) I had missed the last line-up bus and I was contemplating crashing at the front porch on Dallas Street. I had a calling to the Greyhound station. This guy and girl, this Puertorican girl walked by and I hit them up for my story. Afterwards, they asked me to come over to their apartment and hang out. I asked them if I could crash there and they said okay. I went and hung out with them. I didn't have any good presentations. The ignorance was pretty thick last night at their place. They were smoking crack. They offered me some and I said hell no, thanks anyway. It's this place over on Cherry Ridge. Warren House, I think. Something like that. There's another ghetto Warren community out here. It's on the other side of I10 than Medical Center. I'm going to walk there.

                   I forgot their names, but I'm sure they don't mind me forgetting their names. They smoke crack. The girl's name was Blue, I think. I don't remember the guy's name.

     9:34am  Dude, guess what I just did. I just hopped all the way over the I10/410 interchange right here. From Cherry Ridge all the way to the Crossroads Park and Ride. I just hopped over the highway. Shoot for the gap, shoot for the gap.

     9:41am  I am leaving Crossroads Park and Ride. I stopped and smoked a snipe I found. I'm hungry. I'm going to go see if I can get hooked up at Cristan's.

                   Be sure to put, "Welcome to my world," somewhere on my webpage.

                   I'm in Balcones Heights already. Over in front of Santa Fe Apartments. I'm going to walk a bit further and see if I can get hooked up at Cristan's.

     9:58am  I came over to Cristan's and sure-enough, my good friend Bruno is hooking me up. When I walked in he said, "Do you need some fuel?" I am going to walk downtown again.

     10:03am  I came over to the bus stop at Williamsburg. I'm going to sit down and eat my taco.

     10:15am  I just walked through the flea market behind China Harbor. I'm going to walk to Bay-Lu and see if those kids are outside and I can score some weed.

                     I know, I haven't learned my lesson.

     10:17am  Fernando en Casa Rosa me esta dando gasolina para mi estomago. Te lo agradezco, señor. Todo el mundo recibe crédito, gracias.

                     I got hooked up with some more food for my walk downtown.

     11:26am  I walked down Fredericksburg to Sandoval. There's that skyscraper residence place right there. The tall building. That's close to the tennis courts. I'm going to go check the tennis courts for tennis balls.

                     I ended up on Hickman again. Over by the San Pedro Springs Park.

                     I'm walking up to the McFarlin Tennis Center. I went to the side where they have that practice wall. There's some balls stuck up there. I'm going to climb up there and get them.

                     Whoa, I scored me eleven balls total. I had thrown two over for the black lady practicing on the other side of the fence. I have nine left. I'm going to go back to the public library and ask for another bag(4-5-05, paragraph starting with, "I scored me like 9 or 10 more tennis balls at McFarlin.")

                     They didn't have a bag this time.

     12:09pm  Jerome hooked me up with a cigarette walking down San Pedro. I appreciate it, brother. Yeah, I got a light. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     12:27pm  That sucks, I lost my pen. I walked down San Pedro and I stopped in front of this COP thing. Citizens on Patrol. I sat down on this cardboard box someone slept on last night. I sat down and took me three hits of weed. I'm all stoned. It was cool, I had found a lighter at the Crossroads Park and Ride. I saw this blue lighter on the ground and noticed it was full. I tried to light it and it wouldn't light. I turned it up a lot, and I had to press the thing down first and then spark it, but I figured it out and I was able to take a couple hits here. With a little work I got some good hits of weed in my lungs. I thought I would start writing stuff in my little book, but screw it, I lost my pen. I'm going to walk to Travis Park. I'm going to walk all the way downtown again. Then I'll catch the bus out to my mom's house or something. I don't know. Later on.

                     I stopped and re-tied the rainbow string on my stick.

                     It seems like I will be alright. My righteousness protects me.

     12:50pm  I am in Travis Park.

     12:52pm  Tommy came up to me and said, "Hey, I haven't talked to you in a long time." He just hooked me up with a cigarette and a joint! I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                     I'm going to go down on The Riverwalk. From St. Mary's Street.

                     It's so awesome that I just got hooked up with a fat joint. Tommy had just pulled out his cigarette case. I thought he was just going to give me a smoke, but then he pulled out a fat joint he had in the case and hooked me up, just like that. He had a big smile on his face. I got recognized and blessed. Thank you, Love. Thank you, Love.

                     He told me, "Man, I see you everywhere."

     1:52pm  Oh yeah, I got to the end of The Riverwalk, where this trail starts. Right then I hit these two tourist kids up for a story. I was thinking I'd try to smoke them out in the woods right here. When I got to the part where I asked them if they would listen, the guy said, "No, no, we're going to keep walking."

     1:56pm  I ended up at Gutter Punk Bridge. This is where the trail led. I saw some dude sitting there under the bridge. I went up to him and said, "Hey, do you wanna smoke a joint?" He told me, "Well, I was just about to go and try and find you to smoke you out." When was the last time you said you saw me? Eighteen months ago. And this guy just had the idea to come look for me. Right when I pop out of the woods and offer to smoke him out. Can you say everything happens for a reason?

     2:30pm  I forgot to tell you I ran into all those skater kids who recorded me in Hemisfair Park that other day(4-9-05, after 3:20pm paragraph that starts with, "I just had me a magical presentation right now here in Hemisfair Park.").

                   There's tons of pigs in the park right now. I am surprised I haven't gotten run off yet.

     3:50pm  Tim hooked me up with a cigarette in Travis Park. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     3:56pm  I am talking to Tim Jackson in front of Travis Park. He gave me a cigarette. What's your email? timjackson@yahoo.com

     3:58pm  I came to the park and had an awesome presentation with that guy I got the cigarette from. Then I saw these two slut-looking girls walk by. I asked them if they would listen and they said no. I asked them if they had always been that ignorant. Hoochies.

     4:55pm  What was your name again? Rome. I asked if he could spare any change for a hotdog. Rome's the guy who is always coming up to me and asks me what the world's greatest problem is. He told me he had some food at his camp. I told him if I could have some I'd smoke him out. I appreciate it, man. We're walking down Broadway right now. By the KLRN building.

     5:37pm  We were walking down the street and Eddie hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                   Walking down Alamo Street. North Alamo.

                   Cars have made everybody lazy, impatient, overweight, antisocial, etc.

                   Cool, I just walked by Caesar's and someone left a ham and cheese sandwich outside. It hasn't been opened yet. I'm hungry.

     7:15pm  Greedy ass Hernandez told me no. Ahh, I'll just ask the next guy.

     7:19pm  Hopped on the 92.

                   I just had this great presentation with this girl Jessica on the bus. I'm at University Hospital now.

     9:05pm  The weirdest thing. I just saw fireworks. Like on the other side of the hospital. When I walked over there, there were no more. See, I thought there would be a crowd and I felt like I had to make an appearance. Well, I walked over there and there was nobody anywhere. That's so strange.

     9:48pm  I missed the last bus. No more 604's. I ran out for the 91 and missed it. I have to wait until 10:11 for the next 91 to West Telemarketing. I'll walk home from there.

                   Oh yeah, I have an idea about my ID. See, I had scanned my ID before and I had it on a CD. I'm thinking all I have to do is print out a picture of my ID and use that as proof and see if they'll let me get a new one, because I don't have my birth certificate.

     10:10pm  The 91 finally came.

     10:26pm  I'm at West. West Telemarketing. I'm going to walk home now.

                     I walked all the way down Prue to Babcock. I'm going to check the Pizza Hut for any mistakes.

                     They didn't give me anything at the Pizza Hut. The manager took one look at me and shook his head back and forth. No. Oh well, I'm going to go to the Walgreen's and call my mom and use the restroom.

                     Walgreen's is closed. I thought it was twenty four hours.

                     In front of the Walgreen's they have a bench there. I sat down and took off my thermals. I had put them on at West at the smoking cabana because it got a little chilly. I'm going to go hit up Papa John's and see if they have anything.

                     No-go at the Papa John's. I'm going to keep walking.

                     At the Chevron across the street some Dominos delivery guy told me, "Hey man, I saw you walking earlier." I asked him if he could give me a ride up Prue to Bandera. He told me no, but he was sure that somebody else would take me. I told him, "That's cool. I'll walk it." I hiked down Prue and right when I was walking over the Prue Road Bridge, I heard some kids underneath it. I thought they would be cool stoner kids, but it ended up being these stupid punks with alcohol. That greedy ass Wicked kid from the skatepark that one night(3-27-05, 9:49pm). His greedy ass didn't give me a cigarette this time either.

     12:29pm  I just popped out of the park and Bandera and Braun. Let me go see if my friend Matt is working at the Exxon. Maybe he'll hook me up with a hotdog.

                     Damn, it's not Matt working. It's some other dude.

     1:10pm  I got home around one. I am eating some cake that my mom left.

     1:31am  Weird, my mom's Internet doesn't work for some reason. It doesn't browse or nothing. All the lights are on, on the modem. Tetrinet won't work either. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed.

                   I just got out of the shower, brushed my teeth and now I'm going to bed.

Next day..
