Friday May 25, 2007

     7:45am  I woke up around seven. I didn't pack up and leave like I usually did. I don't anymore. I cannot believe my spot hasn't been busted. It's right next to the highway. There's cars whizzing around all by me. It's awesome. It's perfectly concealed. I figured since I was leaving soon, I wouldn't mind if cops came and fucked with me. Hopefully I'll have my mail at the Endeavor today. Then I can get my webpage paid and I am out of here.

     8:16am  Man, I am leaving late from my squat this morning. I love my little place. I need to get a camera before I leave. I'll get spare change for a camera today.

     8:23am  I came to Safeway to take my shit. I've had a good morning.

                   "As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially-profitable to dispense it."

     12:13pm  It's about time I made an update. I went to the Endeavor, but they weren't open yet. I asked the guy working John if I could volunteer and he let me check my email. He let me check it before I volunteered. My webpage is still up. Anyway, I went to the Endeavor and started helping them out in the kitchen. I met this girl named Bobbie. I wasn't able to tell her my story, but she said she was going to this birthday party tonight, and that she'd give me a ride. I can't wait to tell her my story. Anyway, I was able to score a shower at her apartments. I still can't believe I got laid last night. That was awesome.

                   Oh yeah, I ended up leaving my one-hitter at the place where I boned last night, by the tracks. I got Bobbie to drop me off so I could go get it. I actually found it. Smoke some weed now.

     1:49pm  Presto-Manifesto. I wanted a cigarette real bad, Bobbie and I are about to leave to go to that birthday party. It's great. I'm going to go to this party. She's still packing up her stuff. I'm going to go to the 76 gas station and see if I can bum a cigarette. The 76 on Alliance.

     1:54pm  We are taking off to Eddy Lepp's birthday. He's a head honcho at the Church of Cannabis. Free Eddie!  Be sure to check out his speech and Free Eddie song on his MySpace, the first link in this entry..

     6:10pm  We have arrived at Eddie's Medicinal Garden and Chapel. Private Party. There's a huge marijuana leaf. I can tell people my story here for sure. It says, "Welcome to Eddie's Medicinal Garden and multidenominational ministry of cannabis and Rastafari. Do not enter without appointment. Call 275-8879

                   Well, I left with Bobbie. She dropped me off in Upper Lake. The party isn't until tomorrow.

     6:32pm  I had a great presentation in front of this grocery store with Jeanette. She let me have a cigarette too.

     7:39pm  Hell yeah, I came to the mart here. The grocery store. Hi-way Grocery. This one cashier who came out to smoke, I hit her up for my story. She listened but she had to go. Didn't get to tell her my Odyssey. This couple just walked in, they were in a Nissan Pathfinder. I offered them my webpage when they walked in. I have my WPTMJ sign exposed on my pack. They accepted it. When they came out they told me, "You're famous in there." I laughed and said, "Already? I haven't even finished my story."

     8:01pm  Where am I going? I went over to the grocery store and told that pretty cashier my story. This brother walked up to me wearing a tie-dye.

     8:12pm  Dude, I just got brought to this wizard's house. He's got a huge marijuana operation in his house. It's awesome! 7400 Pyle Road. He's a marijuana master. I am loving where I am ending up today.

                   Look up Gilgamesh on the internet.

     8:40pm  Lyle, my new good friend, he brought me to his house. It's all legal. He's got his card. It's a good operation. It's a dream come true. I am proud of you, Lyle.

                   Lyle: "I did show them my invention once. Not in this building, in another one. I didn't have any pot growing or anything. Just the room and the thing, standing there. They came two code enforcement officers and the cop. They're all standing there at my front door. They knock on the door, I open the door, I know them. I say, "Oh, hi guys. What's going on?" They said, "We had a report that there's somebody illegally living here. I said, "You know how our neighborhood is, everybody's complaining about everybody. I don't know what you're talking about, you know. They said, "Well, can we look around." I told them, "Actually, I have a secret invention, and no, I'm not going to let you look around, sorry." The cop laughed thinking, "I can't believe this guy just said that." Then I say, "Actually, I'm just teasing you. I do have an invention and I'm not letting anybody look, but I will let you guys look at it. I got my office here. Come on in."

                   Badass, cool story.

                   Lyle: "Then I went down to planning the next day. Hmm, what paper do I have to have to do my invention, and play my guitar all night, and not live there(bedause you can't really live there, wink, wink). It's commercial, you know. So they were stressing me on that point. I'm all, well, I work all day on my thing, and then I pick up my guitar and I play until late at night and sometimes I fall asleep on the couch. Is that alright? They said, "Fine, get out of here. Hippie."

     9:56pm  Me and Lyle, we came to this Robinson Rancheria. It's a big casino and they have a big bingo hall. All these drones playing bingo, asleep, in a trance.
