San Antonio, TX

Tuesday May 10, 2005

     9:50am  The next morning already. I woke up at like 6:30 this morning. I finished typing up the tape I was on. The tape I have labeled #1. I had lost track of my old numbering. I'm currently recording on #2. I just finished typing up a whole ninety minute tape. I'm halfway on side B of #2 tape. I fit approximately twenty days on #1.

                   Oh yeah, this morning I planted a tree in my mom's front lawn for her. I dug a hole with a little pick.

                   Wups, I forgot my hemp bracelet.

     10:08pm  I'm leaving for the Citgo. I should eat some more. I only had like a bowl of raisin bran. I'm going to go donate plasma. I'll be hungry afterwards.

     10:22pm  John hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the Citgo. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                     Weird, I was sitting at the bus stop and the 610 came by. Mr. Perez was driving. It was going to Ingram, so I wasn't going to get on it. I gave him the peace sign. Then all of a sudden I hear somebody yell, "Victor!" I got up and looked around. I guess they drove off. I don't know. I got recognized.

     10:46pm  There's the bus, the 610. My mom gave me a dollar for busfare.

     11:06pm  Oh yeah, right when I got on the 610 in front of the Citgo, I noticed this really pretty girl sitting in the back. Right before the bus got to the Walmart I mustered up the balls to hit her up for my story. I told her my mission-objectives and she was all ears. I asked he if she was going all the way to the hospital, but she said no, that she was getting off at the Walmart. Aww damn. I told her, "I'll tell you my story next time I see you." I looked on the Transit Master when the bus stopped at the Walmart. I saw the driver had 9.2 minutes to wait. I went outside and she was still waiting. I told her, "The driver has ten minutes left." She says, "Oh cool, you can tell my your story then." I put it on for her. Right before I got to the part where I say, "Remember, my name is Victor Antonio from San Antonio, so when it happens know who's responsible," she looked in her wallet and grabbed a dollar. She said, "I'm going to go inside and get a drink. What was your name?"

                     Great way to start my day. I'm going to the plasma place to get fifteen dollars. I want to buy some CD's and hand them out again.

     11:26pm  I got on the 91 at the hospital. I ran into Mike. The girl at the Walmart listened to two good presentations of mine on the bus, and I talked to these two black girls on the 610 on the way to the hospital. I'm at Travis Park now to eat some lunch at the church at noon then I'm going to go donate plasma.

     12:37pm  Blue hooked me up with a cigarette at Travis Park. I appreciate it, Blue. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     12:48pm  I should make an update. Let's see, I came downtown and ran into Ziggy, my friend David. I have postponed my plasma donation yet another day. I can donate on Wednesdays and Fridays. Right now David and I are walking to The Villita. They give out sack lunches. Then we're going to walk out to the Sunken Gardens, how we had planned to do a while back(4-12-05, paragraph that starts with, "I don't know what time it is, but I'm walking away from the Salvation Army.").

     12:59pm  Guadalupe y su amiga estan dando comida en La Villita. Todo el mundo recibe crédito, gracias.

     1:44pm  Emilio hooked me up with a cigarette on Broadway and Brooklyn. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     2:11pm  David and I are walking down Broadway. Just passed Brackenridge Park.

     2:18pm  We're walking through Brackenridge Park. Over by where I was going to hop a train that one time(2-1-04, 2:36pm).

     2:25pm  I'm talking with my friend David at the Japanese Tea Gardens. I mentioned, "I wonder why they call it the tea gardens." David, "Back in the world wars, they had the Japanese Tea Garden sign replaced by a Chinese Tea Garden sign, because they didn't want to represent the name of one of our enemies in the war."

     3:27pm  We just walked up to the Jack in the Box by Planet K on Broadway and Mulberry. David has a coupon good for a free breakfast sandwich. He's going to see if that'll work right now.

     4:17pm  We hiked all the way back to Travis Park. I asked David if he could watch my stick for me and went in the Greyhound station and took a piss.

     4:20pm  Brandy hooked me up with a cigarette at Travis Park. I appreciate it, Brandy.

     4:49pm  I'm talking to Matthew in the park, telling him my story. What's your email? rageofangels21@msn.com

                   Remember to ask someone on IRC how to make something that's already on your drive, execute after clicking on a link.

                   I told that guy Matthew my story in the park and he listened to me hardcore.

     6:18pm  Mario smoked us out after we ate at the Salvation Army. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     6:44pm  We are back in Travis Park. Man, I'm having a good day walking around with David. Oh yeah, he's going to come over to my mom's house with me. I get to show him my woods. I asked this guy from Austin if I could borrow his cellphone and called my mom. At first I asked her if David could come crash and she said no. She told me she had to meet him first. I told her, "Mom, he is just like me. Everybody mistakes him for me. I've known him for years. What? I can't have a friend over? How long has it been since I did that?" I just told her, "If you meet him and don't like him, we can just go crash in the woods."

                   Hehe, I'm going to win this one.

                   David said he's going to go fish me out some busfare out of the CPS fountain. That's funny.

     7:00pm  Joseph at Travis Park hooked me up with some change for busfare. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                   #4227 hooked me up with a ride for only thirty cents.

     8:00pm  The weirdest thing. I ran into my mom at Walmart. Just the fact that she was right in the front when I was there just blows my mind. I went inside the Walmart to call her! I introduced her to David and everything. He's got clearance for tonight. She offered to give us a ride home, but I told her we were going to go on the nature hike instead.

                   I don't know what time it is, because I can't look at my watch. David and I came to where the platform in the tree is. I spotted a bike at the bottom. Cool, there was somebody already there. We went up and met this old dude Joe. He recognized my Santana shirt. He said, "Oh yeah, you're the guy with that Santana tiedye." I tried giving him my presentation. He had started talking about peace and I thought that was my cue to tell my story. Umm, he turned his ears off real quick. He started interrupting and talking about other shit. He just wouldn't let me finish. I even told him I took turns, just could I go first. He was all, "Go ahead, go ahead." And he interrupted me again! I gave him the 'ol usual, "Thanks for proving me right. You can just wait to hear about it when the rest of the world does." Now David  and I are walking to my mom's.

     9:26pm  Just came out of the park at Braun Road and Bandera. Let's go check the Exxon for snipes.

     9:36pm  We walked up to the Exxon at Braun Road and Bandera. Eddie pulled up in his Krispy Kreme truck. I saw him and immediately asked him, "Hey, can you hook us up with a donut?" He told me, "Yeah, sure. Hold on." He's hooking us up. I appreciate it, Eddie. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                    Eddie is hooking us up with a whole box of donuts!

Next day..
