Saturday May 8, 2004

     8:07am  I am leaving my mom's house. I'm having a good morning. I woke up at three this morning. I couldn't fall back asleep, so I ate a bowl of cereal. I emailed High Times. I worked on my webpage a lot more. I typed up my Odyssey, the current script I tell people. I emailed webmaster@hightimes.com. I need to go back and send him my odyssey I typed up. My platform.

     8:22am  I'm off again. I sent that email. I'm going to walk to the park. I need to go to the Walmart.

                   I need to catch the bus there so I can see what the letter of the day is.

     8:00am  My good friend Mr. Cardenas just drove by on the 609 and waved at me.

     8:50am  I walked to the Exxon on Bandera and Braun Road. I'm going to bum me a cigarette. I know, man. I'm cheating. I didn't smoke at all yesterday.

     9:05am  Bill hooked me up with a cigarette. I've been standing here for a long time. I appreciate it, Bill. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     9:27am  I just took a picture of this cactus with all these yellow flowers. In OP Schnabel Park. It poured yesterday, so everything is growing good. My mom's back yard is all weeds again too.

                   Damnit, I don't think there's going to be a way to the Walmart with all this water here. That sucks.

                   Cool, I see a skunk. Oh yeah, I found a trail. I hope I don't get on the same trail as him. I'm all wary. I hope I don't run into him and he sprays me.

                   That would really stink.

     9:57am  I got over the water block that was in my way. I had to put my right foot in the water, so it's soaked now.

                   Damnit, there was a place to cross just up ahead. Oooh, that chaps my hide.

     10:10am  I'm at the Walmart already.

                     Carl is the letter of the day, C.

     11:02am  I just got off on Wurzbach and Bandera. See, I thought I had the right letter. I thought it was Carl. It turned out to be Edward. I asked him if he would hook me up with a transfer and he told me, "No, and the transfer you gave me earlier was from yesterday." The bus I checked at the Walmart was wrong. I told him, "Thanks for lettering it slide," because he didn't tell me anything. He just let me on. 5765 is his number. I'm going to walk to Planet K and go return the magazine.

                    Oh yeah, I decided to cut through the car lot that's right here. This car salesman guy saw me and I gave him the peace sign. He called me over. I thought he was going to bitch at me. He looked at my walking stick and asked me, "What kind of wood is that?" I told him, "It's cedar." He said, "Wow, it even has a compass on it." I told him, "Yeah, I'm never lost." He asked me, "Do you like walking?" I told him, "I love it. It's the secret to life. I haven't been sick since my car broke down four years ago. Cars are all about money." He agreed with me, even though he works at a car dealership, hehe.

                     He even asked me, "Do you want me to refill your water for you?"

                     Okay, I'm right in front of the Planet K. I'm going to go inside and return the magazine.

     11:22am  Marina me esta dando gasolina para el estomago. Muchas gracias. Te lo agradezco.

     11:24am  Scored at Tia Loli's.

                      I got hooked up fat. I got two tacos. A fajita taco and a breakfast taco. I ate the fajita taco and felt full. So I thought, "Hmm, I'm going to go back to Planet K and see if I can trade this other taco for an after-meal smoke." I went in the Planet K and asked the girl, "Hey do you have a cigarette? Want a taco? I just got hooked up. It's not mine to keep." She said she would've taken it if she hadn't eaten already. That's cool. She gave me a cigarette anyway.

     11:55am  I cut through The Willows apartments to Wurzbach. I called from the Planet K and the 534 is supposed to be here at 54.

     12:13pm  Mr. Raul is hooking me up with a free ride to the hospital. I appreciate it, brother. He's got five minutes to wait.

     1:54pm  I am laying down for a nap in the park.

     3:45pm  These two other brothers just got hauled off by the cops, man. They were all talking shit to the cops. They didn't have shit on them. The cop was all bitching at them saying, "You should get a job," because he's homeless.

                   Cops just don't have anything better to do.

                   Don't these pigs know the kids are taking over soon?

     4:10pm  Mr. Gutierrez hooked me up with a courtesy ride on the 92.

     5:06pm  I got to University Hospital and saw Kassie. She was with some guy. The guy told me, "Hey Victor, how's it going?" Hehe, I don't think I've met this dude before. Oh yeah, I saw that cop, Mr. Groves who took me to jail. I told him, "Hey, I got my pipe back and everything. They thought it was a cigarette." He was all, "Have you been staying out of trouble?" I told him, "Yeah, trouble finds me." Then Mr. Luna hooked me up with a free ride on the 610.

                   Oh yeah, and Kassie's not so hot.

     5:39pm  Off the Citgo.

     5:50pm  I'm home.

Next day..
