7:27am I have all my laundry ready in a bag. I'm going to leave my backpack here. I'm going to ask if there's a laundromat close by, closer than the one on Bullock close to the Smith's. Then I'll come back to the house and put my clean clothes in my backpack.
8:11am I asked around and this seems to be the only laundromat in town. The one on Bullock. I came here and put my stuff to wash. I'm going to go to the taqueria next door, Burrito Tyme and score some water. I'm not going to ask for food. Hopefully they'll offer.
8:30am Terry gave me a cigarette at the laundromat. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
8:50am I'm talking to Terry, telling him my story in front of the laundromat. What's your email, brother? greyhawk83@hotmail.com
9:21am I had a great presentation with Terry. He gave me another cigarette. I appreciate it, brother.
9:34am I had a great presentation with that guy Terry at the laundromat. Then some hippie kid pulled up in a VW van. I tried hitting him up for my story, but he told me, "Nah, I got a lot of shit to do this morning." Now I'm going to go to the KFC and see if I can score me some breakfast. Subway maybe.
10:14am I am talking to Denise, waiting for the library to open at the college. What's your email? charithe333@yahoo.com
10:37am I had a great presentation with that girl Denise.
11:02am I had a good presentation with Jewish Moo, it sounded like he said was his name. He listened to my whole odyssey, just like Denise did.
11:29am This guy just walked by, not doing anything. I hit him up for my story and he said, "Nah, no thanks."
11:58am I am at the library now. I'm going to sit down on the computer and format some text files.
2:27pm I just got out of the library. I formatted all my text files. All the ones I've done so far. I'm hungry. I'm going to go score some food somewhere.
Oh yeah, the public pool. I'm going to see if I can score me a free shower.
The girl said it was cool if I took a shower, but I don't have a towel. That sucks. Well, I don't need a shower right now. Maybe I'll take one another day.
2:54pm The greedy ass manager at the KFC wouldn't hook me up. That was the first time I've been denied at a KFC. Colonel Sanders would be so ashamed of him. I could've sworn they had some policy where they were supposed to hook people up if they were hungry.
I'm going to go hit up the Pizza Hut again. See if they have any mistakes.
No mistakes. I'm going to go hit up the Domino's too.
No mistakes at the Domino's either. Oh yeah, there's a Mexican restaurant down here going towards the Arby's.
3:07pm I stopped at Armijo's Family Restaurant. There are no cars in the parking lot, but it says open.
3:08pm Rachel, at Armijo's is giving me some food. I appreciate it, Rachel. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
At Armijo's it says Mexican and American food. Rachel just brought me out a big double-decker cheeseburger. To the Victor go to the spoils, hehe.
3:34pm I got hooked up. I'm stuffed, man. It was a huge burger they gave me. I didn't even eat the fries. I was so stuffed. I'm going to walk to the Conoco across the street. They have a bench out there I can sit down and tell my story at. I'll bum a cigarette off somebody. After-meal-smoke.
4:37pm I went to the plaza and hung out with the Socorro natives. They gave me a couple cigarettes and a shot of whiskey. Umm, I need to figure out how to make ten bucks. I'm going to walk down School of Mines and see if those old guys are out there. I'll offer to do any labor they need done.
7:42pm I am leaving the school. All I was doing was proofreading. I started on January 1st and I'm on the 20th already. I'm saving all the changes to a floppy disk. Right now I'm going to walk into town and try to get ten bucks somehow so I can buy some CD's.
Please Love, grant me some money today. I need to get some blank CD's so I can hand them out and plant my seed while I'm traveling. After I burn all the CD's, I'll be ready to leave Socorro. I don't have that much more work to do. Thanks greatly to Jacob in Truth or Consequences, I am already caught up on my typing. I formatted all the text files. I need to get moving again. But I want to have CD's to pass out.
8:17pm I came to the Walmart. I'm going to stand out here and spare-change for CD's. I've got to.
8:49pm The greedy asses at the Walmart won't let me bum change. That's my sign to leave. I guess I'll go bum change somewhere else.
8:57pm Ruben hooked me up with some change in front of Smith's. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
9:15pm Paul came out of the Smith's and gave me a dollar. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
Paul: "Praise the lord."
9:22pm Kenny Buck gave me some change. I appreciate it, brother.
9:41pm Kelly hooked me up with some change at Smith's grocery store. I appreciate it, brother.
9:55pm I am telling Joe my story in front of Smith's. What was your email? gatsby@nmt.edu
10:12pm Joe recommends I read the Grapes of Wrath. I'll download it from the Internet(for free).
10:32pm Joe hooked me up with some change for CD's. I appreciate it, brother.
That guy Joe was all ears. He let me tell him a couple stories.
10:40pm Oh yeah, Joe came by and picked me up. He told me he'd bring me back. We came to his apartment and he's got a computer. Cool, cool.
11:41pm That was awesome. I went over to Joe's. He just dropped me off over by my house. Hehe, my house. Joe had swung by and picked me up again and told me we were going back to his apartment. He let me put my offline webpage on his computer. The seed has been planted. Perfect, something to remember me by.
Oh yeah, it was crazy. Guess what Joe's ex wife's name is. Chasity! Just like my ex-girlfriend. I never knew about anyone else named Chasity(besides Cher's daughter).
