San Antonio, TX

Saturday May 21, 2005

     7:12am  I woke up about five minutes ago. I'm walking away from Bill's porch. I slept alright. I'm going to go donate plasma now.

     7:41am  James hooked me up with a cigarette at Travis Park. I appreciate it, brother.

     8:05am  Mr. Hou is hooking me up with a ride to the plasma place. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     8:24am  I just got dropped off in Balcones Heights. I'm going to walk to Cristan's and see if I can score a taco or two. I'll tell Bruno I can pay him back when I come out of the plasma place.

     8:25am  Fuck yeah! Right when I walked in the door Bruno told me, "I got your fuel right here. I saw you coming." I even told him, "I'm going to go donate plasma. I'll pay you back afterwards." Bruno told me not to worry about it. Hell yeah.

                   Sweet, I was just walking and this car honked at me and gave me the peace sign. I got recognized.

     8:37am  I went in the plasma place and signed in. I came outside to eat my tacos and smoke a cigarette. Right when I walked in the plasma place this guy named Wade who I told my story to last time went, "Victor Antonio from San Antonio."

     9:04am  I'm talking to Daniel at the plasma place. Telling him my story. What was your email? cornhuskerseaofred1960@yahoo.com

     9:53am  Stuck.

     10:32am  I'm still donating. Man, I had the most awesome presentation with this girl right next to me. Lisa, I think her name is. She listened to me forever. I even told her my Brewster County Jail story and everything. Hell yeah.

     10:35am  Just got out of the plasma place. I got thirty bucks.

                     Oh shit, I forgot my water bottle. I gotta go back.

     11:00pm  I got my water bottle. I'm going to go to Santa Fe and try to score some weed somewhere. I'll see if Lorenzo is there.

                     Fuck it, I don't want to score any weed at Santa Fe. They're all sheisty there. I ain't got no friends there. Except Lorenzo.

     11:17am  I walked out to Fredericksburg to the bus stop in front of the Labor Ready place. I'm going to wait for the bus. I got a decoy transfer. The letter of the day is I.

     11:43am  Got off at Travis and St. Mary's, instead of Martin and St. Mary's. I'm going to go to the park and buy some weed. Nobody had been at Santa Fe. I just walked in and out.

                     This sister who wouldn't give me her name gave me a cigarette at Travis Park. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     12:08pm  Javier hooked me up with a cigarette at Travis Park. Mr. Javier Child. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                     It was cool, I told Hervie's wife or girlfriend my story. They just walked off. Hervie interrupted me and they took off. I got past the spirit's part though.

     12:53pm  It's really weird. I'm sitting here in Travis Park, me and my friend Loki. I look at the display that has the date, time and temperature and it says it's 102 degrees outside right now. It ain't no 102 degrees. It's not that bad at all. It's like a fresh day. It's not that hot. It's not muggy or nothing. I can feel a breeze going through. That's bullshit.

                     Well, I guess I was standing in the shade. Maybe it is over a hundred degrees. I'm going to walk to the SAMM's shelter and buy some weed.

                     Well, everybody is telling me to go to SAMM's for weed. I hate it there. But I guess I'll go since everyone is saying to go over there. Stoney is leading the way.

                     Oh yeah, on my way to SAMM's shelter I went in the Market Square and I found a place that sold that little flashing light I used to have. I bought me a badass magnetic clip-on marijuana flasher strobe for only five bucks!

     2:07pm  I'm back at Travis Park. No weed at SAMM's.

     2:23pm  Melissa hooked me up with a cigarette at Travis Park. I appreciate it, Melissa. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     3:02pm  I just had me a spectacular presentation with this one guy. He was laughing at all the funny parts and the good points. It was great. I'm on way to grandma's house. On Oaklawn. I'm going to see if she's got any weed.

     3:04pm  Yama hooked me up with fifteen cents for a transfer. The greedy ass bus driver wouldn't give me one. I appreciate it, Yama. Everybody gets credit.

     3:07pm  I got off at the Chevron by Oaklawn. The one right in front of Graham Central Station. This black dude with dreads hooked me up with a transfer on the bus. Hopefully grandma has some weed when I go.

                   Shweet, scored me a dimebag at Oaklawn. Now I'm going to go home and I'll have some weed. Oh yeah, I've got the computer at home too. I hooked it up this morning.

                   Oh yeah, I never told you. My mom got an 80gb hard drive! Compared to her old 4gb, I've got tons of room now. I wish I could get the rest of my pictures developed. They would all fit on her hard drive now.

     4:17pm  I'm talking to Kristal. What's your email? healthnut1211@yahoo.com

     4:36pm  Jim hooked me up with a cigarette outside the hospital. I appreciate it. He's got a Che shirt on. Everybody gets credit. ¡Viva la revolucion!

                   I'm talking to Jeremiah on the bus. He said he had seen me that one time when the bus pulled up by my mom's house and asked me if I was alright. Remember, when I should've asked for a transfer. (Damnit, I just spent like half an hour searching my logs for the time in question and I couldn't find it, sorry. Please take my word for it.) What was your email? twilightblue42@hotmail.com

     5:42pm  Whoa, I had a badass presentation with Jeremiah. This kid on the bus. Fuck yeah, what a great fucking day.

                   Oh yeah, I rode the 610 over to, fuck I forgot the name of this road. Umm, over to the Citgo on Bowens, I think. The EZ Mart. I'm hungry. I'm going to buy something to eat.

     6:05pm  I bought some snacks at the Citgo and ate them. Then I smoked a cigarette and took a hit of weed. I'm walking home now.

     6:36pm  I ate my snack at the Citgo and smoked a cigarette and took a hit of weed. Then I decided I would walk down Points Edge. Maybe I'll walk past Bob's and he'll be outside. I walked up to Middlepoint and I ran into Big John and his friend Victor. I met him that one day when we went to that party that one night. I gotta look that up. Big John is the guy who rolled those badass Tyson joints(3-19-05, 12:50pm). After that party I magically ended up at that one night. Oh anyway, all of a sudden Katie shows up and I'm telling her my story now. What's your email, Katie? i_rock_dad@sbcglobal.net

     7:08pm  I'm telling Jessica and her two friends my story at Ryan's house. What's your email? thursdaybsj@hotmail.com

                   I'm having a great night.

     7:50pm  What happened with some kids who died? They were driving and the driver was drunk and he lost control and hit a tree. The car flipped over and exploded. Where was this at? On Shaenfield Road by 1604.

     8:31pm  I gotta make an update. It's really weird how I stayed on the 610 to finish telling my story to this one guy. I ended up in New Territories. I was walking down Points Edge, going to go say hi to Bob and I ran into some kids I knew. I ended up at Ryan's house. The house I was at a couple months ago. Charlie just gave me a cigarette. We're on the back porch. We're all going to walk to the Conoco right now.

     9:28pm  Dude, I've had yet another magical night with these kids at Ryan's house. I remembered I had walked out here one time and I could never find it(3-27-05, 7:24pm). Man, I just can't believe it. I was walking over right in front of the EZ Mart and just decided to go down Points Edge. All of a sudden I get to Middlepoint, almost to Bob's, and some kids call out to me, "Hey, Victor Antonio from San Antonio, right!" One of them was Big John. I have to put a link to that day. The guy who rolled the Tyson joints. I hung out with them for the rest of the night. We caught the bus over to Ryan's house, the house I had been to before. It just blows my mind how things worked out. Just for me staying on the bus for the sake of finishing my story. I would've normally gotten off at the Citgo and walked to my mom's, but I stayed on. And that's why I ended up running into Big John eventually.

                   Oh man, the stories I told tonight at Ryan's. I had me some awesome presentations. Hell yeah.

     10:08pm  BJ hooked me up with a cigarette at the EZ Mart. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     10:18pm  I had an ice cream cone at the EZ Mart and I'm walking home now. Man, I'm fucking tired. I donated plasma today. I shouldn't be walking so much. I had to walk all of Les Harrison. It's long as hell.

                     Ryan's house is off of Timberpath. I gotta remember that.

                     Oh yeah, I had this most awesome presentation at that house. Eleven kids sat there and actually let me talk.

     10:42pm  I just walked up to the Citgo by my mom's house. I've walked a lot today. Hmm, maybe I'll call my mom and see if she'll pick me up.

     10:45pm  Screw it, I'm not going to call my mom.

                     That's right, I remembered what I need to go buy. I'm going to go buy a new belt tomorrow.

Next day..
