Ok, let me continue and patch up what I recorded over. Last I said I had gotten hooked up with some weed by Phil at the Domino’s. He suggested I walk along some bridge to some river bottom or something. I started walking and I found me a fenced-in wooded area by the Kroger. There was a big loud noisy factory right behind it, so I doubted I would get much sleep. Surprisingly, I got a full seven hours. I’m going to go look for a cigarette somewhere.
8:40am I stopped in front of some old building and smoked. I ate some fries I had from last night for breakfast. I’m walking to Pullman Square now.
8:54am Mitchell hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the 7-11. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
11:27am Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. I left the library. I had a great email session. I got tons more great entries to my guestbook. I had forty visits to my site yesterday. Right now I’m walking to some mission to go eat free food. 7th Avenue, I think.
11:46am I just left the mission. I got a full stomach. Awesome. Huntington City Mission. 523-0293
I ate at the mission and came back to Pullman’s Square. Todd hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
Whoa, he gave me a total of five cigarettes! Hell yeah!
12:26pm Oh yeah, I had a big nugget of weed in my Scripture Mints tin my mom gave me. I wanted to smoke it, but not alone. I asked this one kid at Pullman and he told me he didn’t smoke weed. Then this other black dude said he did. The black dude didn’t want a hit out of my one-hitter because he doesn’t smoke out of pipes or bongs. So we went for a walk. The kid who didn’t smoke, he told us to follow him and we rode this elevator up to this parking garage. I rolled a joint and we got high.
3:44pm I forgot to tell you. After I was at the plaza about to leave, these two girls and a guy called me over. What were your names? Robin, Kim and Doug. They called me over because they wanted to talk to me. I sat down and told them my story and the invited me to eat with them at Five Guys! Thanks for feeding the peace machine, guys. They’re from Tennessee.
4:18pm Benny just hooked me up with a cigarette in the square. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
4:25pm I’m walking towards the park next to this parking garage in the shade. I noticed a lot of traffic pile up so I quickly removed my bags and exposed my shirt. I’m just going to stand here. They’re having some big event at the park. Welcome to Wings and Wheels.
4:30pm Some guy who wouldn’t give me his name just handed me a dollar. Volunteered it. Hell yeah.
4:55pm I came to the library, but it’s closed. I was crossing the street and all of a sudden Hightower stops me and asks me if I was hungry. I told him I could always eat. That I walked for a living. He ends up being the manager of the peanut shop on Fourth Avenue. He’s going to hook me up with some peanuts.
5:04pm Hell yeah, that was awesome. Some random black dude saw me coming out of the library with my stick. I had originally walked down to that event at the park, just to get seen. There was too much noise, so I left real quick. Oh yeah, I’m going to put on a new shirt and not worry about washing this one. I grant myself two. Anyway, I had seen this pretty girl reading a book outside of the library, so I’m going to walk back and hope she’s still around and will listen to my story. Yeah, she’s still there. Great. I’m going to go hit her up. I hope I’ll be able to share my candy peanuts with her.
5:07pm I walked back to the library and that girl was still there. When I asked her what the world’s greatest problem was she said, “Oh, I don’t feel like getting into it.” I told her, “Okay, I’ll tell you what I think it is,” and went from there. I told her my intro and mission objectives and asked if she was willing to listen, but if not that I had a website. She took the website and told me thank you.
5:15pm Sixteen year old Allison, who I told my story to yesterday, she walked by and we walked over to some alley to smoke. We joined up with Nic Mayo, who signed my guestbook, and his friend Michael. They were out here and they called me over. We were coming to the alley to smoke anyway. They work at SRBI, some survey taking place. They’re hanging out out here on a smokebreak. Can I take a picture?
5:26pm Patrick just hooked me up with a cigarette in the alley. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
5:46pm Me, Ron and Allison we came to a different alley to smoke weed by some employees entrance. I told them that I had like eighty five cents towards a pouch of Buglers and Ron volunteered me five bucks! Everybody gets credit, thanks.
6:36pm I’m out here waiting at the bus station. I don’t know what I’m waiting for. I wanted a cigarette and I asked Rebecca for one. She told me she was smoking her last one, so thanks anyway. It’s the thought that counts. Karen overheard me asking and was nice enough to volunteer me one. I appreciate it, Karen. Everybody gets credit, thanks a lot.
Dude I told my story at the bus station.
6:49pm I’m talking to Rebecca. Rebecca: “It’s Bluefield National State Forest. It’s called The How. It’s a big party where everybody brings everything from deer meat to catfish. There’s like a thousand people and they show up on the New River in a place called Peterstown West Virginia. It’s off the chain. You got homemade liquors. It’s around the end of August. The last week of it. It is wonderful. Everybody gets peaceful.” Thanks for the destination.
7:05pm What was it again in case I forget it? 2204 ½. Her name is Amanda and tell her that I sent you to her. Marcum Terrace. What bus? PM South.
7:12pm Ashley gave me a cigarette at the bus station. I appreciate it, Ashley. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

7:19pm This pretty girl I told my story to at the transit mall, the Greyhound station, she gave me a destination. I took her picture. She told me what bus to get on and that it would go to Marcum Terrace, some ghetto supposedly. I’m going to go walk around there. She gave me her girlfriend’s apartment number. I’m going to go tell her my story.
2204 ½. I researched the tape and I’m going to go find it. Amanda.
7:51pm I’m walking through Marcum Terrace, this ghetto. I’m going to take pictures.
8:16pm I couldn’t find Amanda's apartment, so I sat down on these concrete steps and ate some apple sauce. I went to go knock on Amanda’s door again but nobody answered. All of a sudden Bobo comes out and he invited me to smoke! Hell yeah. I love my magic shirt. Everybody gets credit, thanks a lot.
10:17pm I had an awesome presentation with this dude Chuck. He was this younger dude who is about to join the Army. His eyes were locked on me the whole time. Odyssey and everything. I don’t know where this Amanda girl is.
1:27am Man, I’m having the most awesome time. I’ve told my story so many times in this ghetto. Amanda finally came home and I got to tell her my story. She's letting me crash on the couch in her living room!
1:30am I am crashing out.
1:41am I plugged in my batteries to charge and now I’m really crashing out.
