Sunday May 10, 2009

     7:53am  I just woke up. I got 7.18 hours of sleep. I'm going to take a shit now.

     9:55am  I am leaving the house. I am going to walk to the laundromat. I have my last laundry load to do. I might leave today, I might not. I'm going to go do my laundry right now.

                   Oh yeah, I'm really glad I ran into Stephanie last night. She gave me some more trim. It's a lot better than the last trim. I'm all stoned and I have traveling weed too.

     10:03am  I didn't tell you, I came back to the house. I was almost to Meadowview and it dawned on me that my feet were aching. I had just left with my CamelBak and my laundry bag. It also dawned on me that I could fly my sign on Florin while my laundry washed. I didn't have my backpack so I didn't have my signs either, so I decided to return to the house. I changed my shoes too. My feet hurt from all the walking I did last night. I put my boots on. I also left my battery for my camera charging so I wouldn't have pictures to take. I figured it had charged for like an hour or so and would be enough for the day.

                     Room where I sleep

     10:11am  I am leaving again. Shit, I didn't bring my backpack and sign. I'm going back again.

     10:25am  71 papers. Might be 72 that I yield from cutting two sheets worth. I always wondered. Before I left again I had a havethisbook.com cutting project. I sat down on the recliner and cut out my papers. I might leave tomorrow, I might leave today. I am not sure. Maybe I can get Rene to give me a ride somewhere. I might just stay another day just to be able to see Peg again. I just disappeared on her last night assuming I would see her at Second Saturday, but I never did.

     10:40am  I am leaving again. I've been a real pinball this morning. I am ready this time. I've got my sign and I've got my laundry. I'm using the white grocery sack that Pavel gave me my t-shirts in in Berkeley[2-23-09]. I have decided I'm going to leave tomorrow. I want to see Peg again before I leave. I'm bored. Plus, it's Sunday and it's all dead. There won't be that many cars or people out. Monday is a better day to leave. Singing, "Thank god it's Monday.  When you don't have to go to work, every day is a holiday."

                     Shit, I forgot my weed. I'm going back again for crying out loud.

     10:50am  Alright, I walked back and retrieved my marijuana. Now I'm going to walk to the laundromat.

                     I paused to switch out a tennis ball.

                     Somewhere on my front page have "Sponsored by LOVE."

     1:55pm  What a magical update I have to make. I was walking towards the laundromat and I ran into Amanda. I took her picture. She was walking on her way to church. I've got a more interesting story though that's not nearly as old and out of date. She listened great and I told Amanda how today was my laundry day and she volunteered to let me do my laundry at her house. She's going to give me food too!

                   We walked to her house and she put my stuff to wash and made my a plate of food.  I told her some more stories and then she proceeded to roll a fat blunt!  Awesome.  We sat on the couch in her garage and shot the shit.  She said I was very attractive and wasn't surprised when I told her once and a while I get done for the cause.  Just then I spot a rainbow hat on the couch we were sitting on.  It was like a big tube and I put it on my head.  Amanda tells me I can have it as something to remember her by.  Awesome, I really needed another rainbow beanie, even though this one doesn't match my scarf either. 

     3:50pm  Sweet, I went to the Meadowview Food Market and I counted out my change inside. I only had like eighty cents. I passed out my website a couple times to people outside and asked if I could use their cellphone. I tried calling Peg from Angela's phone, but Peg's phone is out of order. That sucks. I hope she's alright. Anyway, I'm walking away from the Meadowview Market and the cool Palestinian dude who likes me is there. Last time I had an altercation with the other dude who works there. As I was walking away right now the cool dude walks out and tells me to hold on. He goes back inside and comes out and hands me a box of corn flakes that had a hole smashed in and couldn't be sold. Sweet, they got my back.

     3:57pm  I was halfway to Craig Street from the market and I realized I had nothing to do at home. The only point of going home is to drop off the laundry bag. I have my sign just in case. I'm going to spread the word on 24th and Meadowview again for a little bit. Hopefully the cops will come. I'll stash my weed.

     2:25am  I forgot to tell you, I woke up around midnight. I crashed out like around 4am, I'm guessing. I went to bed on the mattress in the back room. Around midnight Rene was surprisingly still awake sitting on the couch. We chilled for a bit and talked for a while. Around 2am or so I drove his van to Jack in the Box and got us some munchies, Rene's treat. I even have me a Sourdough Jack for breakfast in the morning.

Next day..
