Friday May 30, 2008

     9:43am  I woke up at this beautiful campsite. I'm sorry I haven't been making too many updates. It sucks that I don't have a camera either. Anyway, right now I am looking for a place to take a shit.

     3:49pm  I just got dropped off on High Street by Lauren and Swann.
                  
     4:20pm  I told this one kid my story on High Street and he told me to go to some skateboard shop and tell them my story. At Boarder Zone.

                   I went in the Bead Monster and it would be twenty bucks to restring my bracelet.

                   Just right now on High Street some dude yelled at me, "Victor!" Surprised, I said hello and "When did I meet you?" He told me he hadn't met me, just that his friend Jayme told him about me.

     5:27pm  I was walking up and down High Street trying to tell my story to people. I have shirts for sale. Cleetus and Stacie came up to me. Stacie saw me the other night at Coldstone. I'm going to go buy them beer. Fuck the system.

                   Stacie was nice enough to give me a cigarette at this concrete amphitheatre we are at.

     3:04am  I've been partying with my new good friend Stacie and Cleetus at Stacie's new apartment. Stacie had some thoughts. She works at Coldstone. I'll put a link to that day when I had a presentation there.

                   Stacie: "My employer was like I know all about what you have to say. This guy, he, is like telling all these highschoolers what he has to say. Honestly, I pick a rag and pretended like I was cleaning in front of the store just to hear what you had to say, because it seemed important. Honestly, what I heard from you and what the quote-unquote highschoolers have to say, it was a really good thing. I was like, man, this guy is cool as shit. Honestly, when my roommate Sam, when we got to see this guy's website I was all about it. We went back to it that same night. We looked at it and read it for some amount of time. Sam read it more than I did because I passed out. I was tired. I had worked seven and a half hours at Coldstone. But, it was really good shit. I understood why the highschoolers were all about what you had to say. Like, all this shit about capitalism. It's ridiculous. Reading it made me understand why these people, they don't understand why people sit there all day and work mindless jobs, or just sit on the streets and act like quote-unquote homeless people. Yeah, people think first of all it's a mindless scam. A lot of people do think that, that's why they do it. Second of all, people don't understand that there's capitalism in this world. You know, Anarchism vs Libertarianism vs whatever. It's not that. It's about whether you are free or you're fucking enslaved. That's what the song Baby, I'm An Anarchist by Against Me means to me. If people will listen and they understand that's what it's all about. Second of all, if people listen and do it for the trend. Oh yeah, my friend's playing drums for this band and that's what it's all about. That's depressing. But, if we understand that Baby I'm an Anarchist and you're a spineless liberal and they make art for this and they create this with their own selves and they get inspired by that, that's what it's all about. If they don't that sucks for them. It's a new age hippie revolution. You have to create your own shit. It's not all about Grateful Dead and the 1960's. It's about creating your shit. It's about fucking saying hey man, I'm rebelling from this, I've done cocaine twelve or sixteen times. It's not even about that. It's about saying hey, I'm down for my own shit. If you're not for that, that's whatever you want to do. But this is what I am for and if you agree with it, or you don't, that's your own decision. That's why I have the tattoo on my chest. Push the envelope. Watch it bend. To me it means this. Push the envelope means go daring and see what you're going to do with this. Watch it bend means what the fuck are they going to do about it? And they're not going to do nothing about it. People have come up to me on the streets and said that has inspired me. That's what I was going for. Not that many people have understood it, but after they read it they understand it. The entire quote means duality. It's something drawn from duality. That's why there's an angel and a devil. It's a year old."

Next day..
