Huntington, WV
Friday June 20, 2008
6:57am I woke at 6:37 at my little camp. I'll take pictures.
7:37am I'm all packed up and ready to go. I took a shit nearby because I couldn't hold it.
7:41am Welcome to Huntington. Walking into town. One mile away from Huntington and twenty miles away from Ashland, KY.
7:50am I just stopped in at Jolly Pirate's Donuts. I bought me a couple donuts. I'm walking into town now.
8:08am I came to the Walmart and I'm going to buy some socks. I stopped in front of the big parking lot here. I'm going to eat some donuts and smoke. I really need socks. It's awesome how I got blessed with money last night. Some guy gave me seven bucks for food.
8:23am I just finished getting really resinated. I took like three resin hits in front of the parking lot. I'm going to go inside and buy some socks now.
8:39am Leaving the Walmart. I bought some socks for five dollars. I spent all my money on socks. I got six pairs. I'm reloaded on socks.
8:44am Right before I walked up to the Walmart I saw a Los Porfarios Mexican Restaurant. I wasn't too hungry when I stopped and ate some donuts, but now that I came out of Walmart I could eat. I'm going to go hit them up.
8:45am Wups, they don't seem to be open.
8:51am Passing by a psychic reader. I wish they were open. I'd go talk to them.
Almost about to pass Woodland Drive. I could've sworn I had recently seen a sign that said Huntington one mile away.
9:09am I stopped to rest and so I don't get my shirt so sweaty. I'm going to stick my thumb out.
9:16am Walking.
9:31am I just got to Third Avenue, or 62 East to the left and Junction 2 to the right. The sign pointing downtown is pointing left.
9:41am I took a breather at Third Avenue and 28th Street at the bus stop. I'll smoke a cigarette and see if I can get a courtesy ride downtown.
9:47am Some kid rode up on a bike to the bus stop. I asked him far downtown was and he told me it was about a mile and a half. I asked him, "Hey, will you check out my website? It's free." He started saying no, no, no. He got all scared. I told him, "That's right, be afraid. Be afraid." I even asked him if he had always been that ignorant, haha.
9:53am Passing 26th Street.
10:28am I walked up to the 7-11 and I found a cigarette on the ground and smoked it. I asked the girl who was working which way to a park and she told me.
10:35am I walked by the John Marshall College here and I took a picture of the statue of John Marshall. Chief Justice of the United States. 1801-1835. I went to John Marshall High School in San Antonio.
10:38am Turning right on Hal Greer Boulevard.
10:51am I found the drag I guess on 4th Avenue and 10th Street. I haven't talked to anybody. There's not that many people out. I'm going to stop and smoke a cigarette and expose my shirt for a little bit. Then I'm going to keep walking to this park. I'm kind of hungry. I'm going to go hit up places to eat.
I've set up my post in front of the NTelos building. Some cellphone place. I'm sitting here at the bench. Everyone is scared of me, hehe. Muhahaha.
11:13am Cool, there's a Rio Grande here too, like in Charleston. I'm going to eat, awesome.
11:16am Manolo, en Rio Grande me esta dando comida. Te lo agradezco, hermano. Todo el mundo recibe credito, gracias.
Presto-manifesto! Scored me some grub. Now I'm going to walk to this park and eat.
11:33am I just walked into the Harris Riverfront Park. I'm going to sit down and eat my Mexican food.
Some homeless dude I told my story to at the riverfront park.
12:08pm I went and tried to tell this one lady my story at the park. She quickly refused it. I told her that's right, be afraid, and walked off, hehe.
12:23pm I just came to in front of the Starbucks. This fountain. This plaza they have here. I'm going to take a picture so everybody can see me being a journalist, hehe.
12:43pm I'm telling this beautiful girl Alena my story at what is this place called? Pullman Square. I saw her waiting for the bus and thought to tell her my story. She smiled real big and agreed to listen. When her bus pulled up I told her, "It's totally worth catching the next bus." She's sticking around to hear it. I appreciate it, Alena. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
12:59pm I had a marvelous presentation with that girl. I told her my whole Odyssey. Well, until her bus came. I had almost got to the spirits part. Alright, let me turn on my storytelling sensor.
1:08pm I forgot to tell you. When Alena's bus came I saw it said FREE BUS. So, I grabbed my bags and I jumped on it. I got to tell her a lot more of my story on the bus.
1:19pm Back at the square. I rode the free bus all the way around.
2:55pm I went to the riverfront park and had some great presentations there. I'm going to walk to the library now. I need to make some more havethisbook.com little papers.
4:14pm I had a great presentation with John and Meredith at Harris Riverfront Park. John hooked me up with an American Spirit right before I started my presentation. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.
4:56pm I had the most awesome presentation with these two kids. Meredith was this beautiful Bohemian girl with hairy armpits. Beautiful girl. I took their picture. Awesome. They totally dug my story and they smoked me out at four twenty!
5:38pm I just had another awesome presentation at this amphitheatre. Like ten kids were all sitting down listening to me. I got smoked out yet again! Thanks, man.
5:48pm Ben is telling me about bards. Ben: "By history a bard is what the Celtic Druid became. They traveled the world in pairs or groups with other people, well, at least the known-world to them, spreading the Pagan belief and belief of freedom and life and love of all nature. They spoke well and sung even better." Sound familiar?
6:35pm I forgot to tell you. I had another awesome presentation at that amphitheatre. I ended up giving Ben one of my shirts. I figured I already had somebody else wearing my shirt in Charleston. Might as well have another one here. He's scared though. He's got it on backwards. It sucks. It makes me wish I wouldn't have given it to him if he's not going to have the balls to sport it. It makes me feel taken advantage of.
6:36pm I'm out here about to tell Kevin my story. He's got some thoughts. Kevin: "What I was saying is that people like you are unique, because you don't find very many people who actually grow up to want to give world peace or have the mind-mentality for world peace, to want to change the world. There really is a lot of ignorance in the world today. A lot of racism. A lot of everything. It's ignorance, like you said. It really is. There's a lot of people who like to cause problems and nobody else actually realizes what it would be like with world peace. The world would be such a calmer place. It really would. That's why I respect you for what you are doing. Like I said, you don't find that many people that are like that. That have the actual mind capacity or mentality to want to go out and do something for the world, to change the world. I respect you for it. I really do. No problem. My name is Kevin Pratt. thank you."
6:45pm I just finished telling my story to like eight or nine kids in Pullman Square. This one dude asked me if I wanted some food and he hooked me up with some Nachos with meat-dip! I really appreciate it. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot. Thanks for feeding the peace machine.
8:08pm Hattie, aka Josh hooked me up with a cigarette in the square. I appreciate it, brother.
8:50pm I had such an awesome presentation with beautiful Quincie at the square here. She listened to my entire Odyssey, man. Her eyes were locked on mine the whole time. She hooked me up with seventy five cents. I appreciate it, Quincie. Thanks a lot.
9:16pm I am having an awesome time this Friday night. It's hopping in the square and I've been having awesome presentations all day long. Blowing minds left and right, hehe. The cops haven't hassled me one time.
9:39pm Collin and Amarisha just listened to my story at Pullman Square. I took their picture.
10:14pm I forgot to tell you. I got a little hungry so I randomly got on the free bus. It passed by a Pizza Hut and I got off figuring I'd hit them up for mistakes. The bus stopped after the Pizza Hut, so I'm walking back to it now.
No mistakes at the Pizza Hut.
10:22pm They told me no at the Subway too. Oh well, I tried. They told me the manager wasn't there. Maybe I can score at the Burger King. Yeah right.
10:26pm David is going to hook me up at ten thirty!
10:39pm I went outside to wait and smoke and I just had me an awesome presentation with Matt, Alex and Erica. They looked like they would appreciate my story. They listened to my whole Odyssey and everything. I appreciate it, guys. I was patiently waiting for them to come out.
11:44pm Gary Atkins at Domino's Pizza hooked me up with some pizza. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks a lot.
12:00am Dude, hell yeah. See, I stood in front of the Burger King waiting for those kids to come outside. They finally did and even listened to my whole Odyssey. I had already eaten, but after I left the BK I was still hungry. Then I saw the Domino's nearby. Gary said he might be able to find me a place to crash.
When I had asked Gary for any mistakes he told me no real quick. Then I offered him my website and he asked me, "Oh, I think I've been to your site before." I asked him if it was about marijuana and he said yes! Then he told me, "I think I can give you something," and gave me like four slices! Hell yes! Recognized!
12:12am See, Gary had told me to wait around for his driver to return, that he would know where I could camp. The driver Phil eventually came back and he seemed cool as hell. I shot him a couple of my lines and he asks me, "How are you doing on smoke?" He hooked me up with a fat nugget of weed! Hell yeah.
Pictures I don't know who of.
