Cincinnati, OH

Sunday July 6, 2008

     9:45am  It's about time I made an update. I woke up about half an hour ago with 6.23 hours of sleep. Last night Joe slept in the tent with me. He wanted to camp out too. They all wanted me to sleep on cushions and stuff. The grass is soft enough for me. At first I thought it might be a little cramped for two people. The door doesn't close all the way so one side would get wet if it rained. There was, indeed enough room for both of us. These guys aren't going to hurt me. I trust these people. They're my Cincannati Angels sent to me by Love. They're helping me out on my mission. For the cause.

     11:29am  I've had a good morning so far. I kept myself busy until Tom and his girl woke up. I was organizing all my stuff in my pack. I found my blue caribeener I thought I had lost in Montgomery. I just made sure I had everything. I've got everything packed up. I need to go exlore Cincinatti pretty soon.

     11:46am  I didn't tell you, yesterday at one of the biker rallies. See, all this time my dreads have been in my face because I lost both of my hats. I even lost the one I got back from that girl in Huntington. I was getting really tired of my dreads being in my face. At a bike ralley I bought me a camoflauge head-scarf thing. It matches my uniform perfectly. It matches my shorts and CamelBak. I'm on a mission.

     4:15pm  This morning I did a lot of yard work. I trimmed Tom's hedghes and shit. I volunteered to do it. I hung out with Tom. He really likes me. I got bored so I'm going to walk into town. He smoked me out. I was out of havethisbook.com papers and it's Sunday so the library is closed. Tom's mom let me print one out on her Windows 98 computer. I told her my story. She guessed ignorance for the world's greatest problem, but she just got up in the middle of my story and left after a while. I shouldn't have started on the Odyssey story. I should have just told her the important part. Anyway, I'm walking to Kroger to get something to eat. I only have twenty dollars left. I gave five dollar to Joe-Nig yesterday at Hooter's because I didn't want them paying for me while I have money. Tom insisted he let them cover me, but then immediately turned to Joe and said, "You got Victor, right?" Joe said sure, but I still discreetly slipped him a five dollar bill. I'm going to get something to eat and try and score a dimebag.

     4:19pm  I am in front of the Kroger now. Passing a sign that says Welcome to North College Hill. That's where I am, I guess.

     4:31pm  I was contemplating hitting up the Subway, but I'm going to go to the McDonald's and buy some food there.

     4:56pm  I walked to Goodman Avenue and Hamilton Avenue. The Avenue of Champions. I'm standing in front of a United Dairy Farmers Mobile gas station. I'm going to smoke a cigarette and expose my shirt.

     5:08pm  I came to stand in front of Fricker's. This pretty girl walked up and told me she liked my shirt. I handed her my website and told her to check it out. "Thank you," she told me. I see a big laundromat right across the street. I'm going to go hit up somebody there for my story.

     5:36pm  I've just been walking around random streets not documenting my turns. Right now I am walking down Simpson Avenue. I need to start heading towards the Kroger. That's how I know how to get back to my friends. I'm just walking around getting my exercise. I wish the library was open.

     5:56pm  I ended up at some basketball courts. These black dudes saw my shirt and complimented me on it. I gave them my website. I sat down and smoked a cigarette in the shade. I asked them if they knew where I could get a dimebag and they told me no. I'm walking back. I think Hamilton is where the Kroger is. I'm bored.

     5:57pm  Oh, I see a cop. It might be showtime. I don't have any weed, so I'm cool.

     6:23pm  I stopped in front of the Budna Grill and smoked a cigarette and asked for directions to the Kroger.

     7:54pm  I just had an awesome presentation with these four kids. I took their picture. Whole Odyssey and everything.

     11:52pm  I'm going to bed. I had a good night. I went for a big long walk today and ended up back at the house. Tom made some really good barbecue stuff. We had great dinner. He smoked a joint with me and let me keep the roach again for my wake-and-bake. I'm all stoned. Later on. I'm going to bed now. These guys really believe in me. They really do.

Next day..
