Austin to San Marcos to San Antonio, TX

Wednesday June 9, 2004

     3:12am  This dude hooked me up with some food! Some fruits and a Crunch bar.

     3:15am  I dozed off at the Greyhound. George, Corvette for Christ out of Kerrville, Texas hooked me up with some food. A candy bar. I didn't even ask for it. Hell yeah. Thanks a lot, brother.

     3:35am  Nigio hooked me up with a cigarette at the Greyhound. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     4:20am  I'm telling this dude who's name I couldn't understand on my recording my story and he hooked me up with an American Spirit. I appreciate it, brother.

     4:57am  Man, I'm trying to tell this guy my story and this old dude keeps interrupting me. Man, people need to realize that my shit is more important than anything else! It takes precedence over anything! I'm trying to tell this guy from Berkeley my story. During the whole presentation he was interrupting me. The whole time. It was this one dude who gave me food earlier. He's all preaching about God and shit. God-damnit, I am doing and all you do is say.

                   People need to listen to me! 

     6:09am  Oh yeah, I'm about to board that San Antonio bus. I'm getting on right now to go to San Marcos. I'm going to hitchhike from San Marcos.

     6:57am  Mia and Al are hooking me up after hearing my story. They hooked me up with some chips, a cigarette and a bracelet. Thank you. I appreciate it, guys. Thanks for proving me right.

                   They're representing Youngtown, Ohio.

     7:22am  I am taking a shit in the restroom at the Greyhound in San Marcos. I'm almost home. Only thirty miles away.

                   I just got the urge to go home. I got some bad signs in Austin and said screw it. I had five dollars in my wallet and told myself, "Man, I'm just going to go to the Greyhound station. I'm sure I can bum up what I need there." I only needed $2.50 more. I got it real quick and bam, I'm in San Marcos. I was considering trying to stay on the bus and seeing if I could ride all the way to San Antonio. I changed my mind. I've got some work to do. I'm not in a big hurry. I might even crash here tonight. I gotta go talk to people and get the word out.

                  Oh yeah, I never told you that the lady who I traded those movies for that ride to San Antonio a while back(5-23-04), she's here and she told me that they never worked. I told her, "I am really sorry. I'll make it up to you by bringing world peace."

     7:42am  I had go to back to the Greyhound station. I left my cigarette in the bathroom. I'm leaving again. There's a train coming. If it stops on the tracks I'm jumping on it.

     8:05am  I ended up at some park down Hutchinson Road, I think. I'm going to go crash out on top of one of the benches here. I want to see how long before the cops come and hassle me.

     10:00am  I just woke up on the picnic bench. I didn't get much sleep. Like two hours hours, maybe. I'm going to go walk around and talk to people. Tell my story.

                     I'm up walking. I'm looking for some tennis courts. I need a new ball.

     10:20am  I got directions to the tennis courts on the other side of the bridge. I talked to these crazy wing-nuts at the park. They wouldn't listen to me. Dude, this Mexican dude was wearing a crucifix and everything. He wouldn't listen to me at all. Then this other crazy lady said, "I dare you go to New York and talk like that." I'm going to go look for tennis courts.

                     San Marcos River Watershed. That's what this park is called.

     10:42am  I walked down some parkway and turning left on San Antonio Street.

                     I didn't find any tennis balls. I walked around the whole thing and there were none. That sucks.

     10:50am  Helen has agreed to give me some gasoline for my stomach. I appreciate it, Helen. Everybody gets credit, thanks. Calllin' the shots, callin' the shots.

                      I got some tacos, man! She did surprise me. Perfect, I got a breakfast taco with bacon and everything. Awesome.

     11:00am  Rosanna hooked me up with a cigarette in front of Internet Business Management at 210 W San Antonio. I appreciate it, Rosanna.

                     Man, I just had a great presentation with that girl who gave me a cigarette! I am impregnating San Marcos today. She had some nice mammaries, hehe.

                     She was pretty.

                     I walked down Garrison Street. I'm over here by SWT University.

     11:30am  I'm roaming through this campus observing the Babylonian in it's native habitat. Shhhh. Coming here to learn how to work for money. Followers not leaders.

     11:47am  I ran into some old hippie lady, Susie. She was handing out flyers for a vegetarian restaurant. I told her my platform and everything. She didn't listen too good. She was handing out flyers. She directed me to the tennis courts though. That's where I'm going now.

                     Turning right on Sessam.

                     Scored two balls at the tennis courts! My stick is back on track.

     11:52pm  Entering Sewer Park. Texas State University, San Marcos.

                     This whole town is beautiful. I wish I had a camera. The river, oh man, it's majestic. I need to come back here and take pictures.

     11:54pm  John hooked me up with a cigarette at the park I just came to. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                     Cool, I had a good presentation with some guy in the park I bummed a cigarette off of. He gave me another destination. Triple Crown. Some bar. He told me there's cool kids there. Perfect.

     12:39pm  I went back to the Greyhound to use the restroom. Right when I walked out I saw a train going South! Oh shit! It was going real slow. I was like, "Man, I can jump on that train." I couldn't catch it. I walked the railroad tracks and I am at Eisenhower and Patton. Walking East on Patton towards the highway. I'm going to stop at 35 and stick my thumb out.

     12:46pm  Whoa, I see a taqueria over by the highway. I'm going to go score some food.

     12:47pm  I scored at the taqueria! I'm going to give this guy credit, now.

     12:50pm  Fred at the taqueria is giving me some gasoline for my stomach. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     12:59pm  Sergio is giving me a cigarette outside of the Conoco. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks a lot. Whoa, he gave me two. Thanks a lot.

     1:25pm  I walked all the way form the Conoco to Wonder World Drive. I'm sitting here at the Diamond Shamrock and I'll ask for a ride here.

                   It started pouring right now.

     2:32pm  Dave is hooking me up with a pizza at the Sac-n-Pac. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     2:35pm  F4U-2592 California plate, gave me a cigarette. Badass.

     3:52pm  Jason is hooking me up with a ride to New Braunsfels! I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit. Thank you for mobilizing the peace machine.

     4:16pm  I just got dropped off at the Shell gas station in New Braunsfels.

                   It's coming down hard! Apocalypse, man.

     4:37pm  I already got my ride! This guy Gilbert hooked me up with a ride. I appreciate it, bro.

                   He even gave me two dollars. I appreciate it.

     5:05pm  Gilbert dropped me off at Rolling Oaks Mall. I'm going to borrow somebody's phone and see if I can call Lucy. She lives down the street.

     5:29pm  This sucks! It's pouring hard. The bus comes at 5:43 the Walmart on the other side of the highway. I'll try. It's all pouring.

     5:48pm  I got a courtesy ride on the #9. She hooked me up. It's all raining. I told her, "I'd be walking if it wasn't raining." She was all, "You'd walk all the way to I10?! It would take you two or three days." Hehe, she doesn't know me.

     6:56pm  I forgot to make an entry. I'm already in Travis Park. Fuzzy and his girl saw me on the bus. Hehe, he's still calling me a bum(5-17-04, 1:55pm). When I got off this one old lady saw me and said, "Hey, what's going on?" I told her, "Hi, have I met you before?" She said, "Yeah, you've been in my apartment." "Really? Where at?" She told me, "The La Bella on Fredericksburg." Oh yeah, I went and smoked her out that one time(1-11-04, 1:52pm). I came to Travis Park. Man, home sweet home. I am back.

                    This guy Chris who works at Jim's is all talking to me because he thinks I'm gay. Fuzzy came over and said, "Look, he's wearing a rainbow beanie. He's a faggot." I told him, "No, I just might be the happiest man in the world, but I'm not gay. I wear the rainbow colors because I am a beam of light for others to follow." Chris said, "Oh, I bet you've got a big dick too." I told him, "Don't worry about it."

                    That gay dude was all, "You are a nice-looking guy, by the way." I told him thanks.

     7:02pm  I'm waiting for the 91.

     7:05pm  I'm on the 91 going to University Hospital. I'm going to call my mom and see if she'll pick me up.

     7:38pm  I forgot to tell you. I'm at University Hospital. I went to take a piss. Man, I have to call my mom.

     7:41pm  I just got the idea to jump on the 534 to Bandera and catch the 88 to the Walmart. Hopefully it comes on time.

     8:00pm  I jumped on the 88 on Bandera and Wurzbach.

     8:10pm  I'm at the Walmart. I called my mom from the car dealership on Bandera and Wurzbach, but she didn't answer. I've called her a lot today and she hasn't answered. I called her from Rolling Oaks Mall. I hope that she's alright. It was a monsoon earlier. I hope she wasn't out there driving.

     9:05pm  I just hot-footed it all the way to my mom's house. I didn't rest one time. All the way from Walmart. A while back ago, I left the lock on the window a little loose so I could shimmy it better. Let's see if I can get in.

                    I'm in the house. Cool, cool.

Next day..
