     10:08am  I am having a good day today. Amy, Jacob's beautiful wife, I told her all my stories. It's really cool. I am very welcome here. She's thinking about other people who I should meet. She just gave me twenty five bucks this morning. She gave me a disposable camera last night too. Everything is going my way. I wonder what's going to happen next.

     1:40pm  It was cool, I got to do my laundry here at Amy and Jacob's. Jacob has like three jobs! He's nineteen and he supports his family. Amy is twenty five and they have the most adorable three month old baby boy. Everything is cool here. Jacob even told me, "If you need a place to crash tonight, just go by Domino's again." That's what I'm going to do. Maybe.

     1:52pm  Amy and I are going into town. She's going to find me an audience.

     2:31pm  Amy brought me over to Raven's trailer. Raven remembered me from last time. He even told me, "I still got that hat you traded me sitting right there." Sure-enough, my old hemp hat I traded him last year he still has. I had totally forgotten about that.

     3:06pm  I just left Raven's trailer. I'm going to try and find this Rotary Park. I need to go find the house I left my Sesame Street Book at. The replacement I had for my Stinky Cheese Man book that served as a divider in my mission bag.

     3:32pm  I walked by the public pool here. This girl walked by and said hi to me. I hit her up for my story and she agreed to listen. This sixteen year old girl named Tiffany. She listened to my entire odyssey and everything.

     3:36pm  Ahh, Rotary Park is dead. I'm going back to Ralph Edwards.

                   I came over to the nuthouse where Rhonda lives. I want to ask her directions to that house I left my book at.

     4:07pm  I just left the nuthouse. I smoked a couple cigarettes, but then I got bored.

     5:08pm  I'm talking to Kevin Williams. I told him my story and he told me about some newsrover.com place.

                   Not too long ago this lady, I was standing there in the shade at the Shell station. All of a sudden this Mexican lady sitting in a car calls me over and asks me what I'm doing. I told her, "I will tell you if you listen." She snaps and yells, "Don't give me that! Don't do what my son does!" Man, this town is jam-packed full of wingnuts. She was telling me, "Oh, my son is on fire with Jesus! Do you know what that means?! On fire with Jesus!"

     5:37pm  Another good presentation at the Shell gas station.

     5:46pm  This guy Nigel White, I had started telling him my story earlier and he had to go, but right now he just came out and handed me some chips and a Gatorade from inside the store. I love electrolytes.

     7:21pm  I had a great presentation right now. These kids had pulled off in their car and I gave them the peace sign. They came back and called me over. I jumped right in with my story. 

     7:35pm  I forgot to tell you. I'm taking off from the Shell station. Jacob let me put my backpack in his car. I'm going to walk back to that nuthouse. I think I left my 2004 list there.

                   I found that apartment and retrieved my book. I got my book back, but I couldn't find my list. That sucks. I'll see if I can go over to Jacob's tonight and type it up off his computer.

     8:32pm  I had gone on a walk and I'm back at the Shell now. I'm going to tell my story some more.

     9:01pm  I went to the Shell station. At first I was going to ask Jacob if he had any mess-ups. He told me, "No, but I can make you something." I told him not to go out of his way. With the money Amy gave me last night(which was from Jacob) I bought me a thing of Oreo's. I go outside to eat them and then the girl who works with Jacob calls me inside. Jacob told me he had food. That some guy had just messed up on his order. It was a good pizza.

     9:37pm  Charles hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the Shell station. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     9:55pm  Joe at the Shell station gave me a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother.

     10:02pm  I forgot to tell you. I got 86'ed from the Shell station by a cop. Lorrie gave me some bullshit about somebody complaining. I wasn't asking for money or nothing. And, I was only asking people as they were leaving, so nobody complained. Lorrie doesn't like me and is full of shit. Why does everybody always have to fuck with the guy trying to bring world peace? That might be a sign to leave. Oh yeah, Jacob hooked me up with a badass pizza. I told Jacob, "I got 86'ed. Nobody wants to hear the truth." I asked him if I could get my backpack and Jacob told me, "Well, I can meet you in the park if you want to crash at my house again." I told him, "Alright, that would be really cool." At least I have a place to stay again. Cool, cool.

     10:22pm  I am telling Shannon and Kevin my story at the Ralph Edwards Park. What was your email? marvinrockx@zianet.com

     10:57pm  I am still waiting here in Ralph Edwards Park. Jacob was supposed to be here around eleven. I rewound my tape and double checked when I was supposed to go to Emerson's and Danielle's. I am still waiting for Jacob to come by. He told me he was going to pick me up when he got off at around eleven.

     12:47am  Dude, I don't know what happened to Jacob. He's got my backpack in his car. I just woke up, I had fallen asleep on one of the benches. Where is Jacob? I guess I'll walk back up to the Domino's.

     12:58am  It's weird. I went back up to the Domino's and everything is closed. Even the Shell station is closed. Well, it is after-all one already, hehe. I can't believe Jacob never showed up. I had crashed out on top of a bench that was in direct view of the street with a light shining on me and everything. I wonder where I'm going to crash now.

Next day..
