     6:28am  I just woke up. I slept great last night.

     7:40am  I've had a pretty pleasant morning. Oh, right now I got scared. I went to go take a piss in the sink, like I do every morning. Yesterday a cricket crawled out and today a big ass Brown Recluse did!

     7:54am  I am leaving home. It is still so awesome how I have a house. For like eight days I've been crashing here. The first couple days I would take a shit in the back field, but I haven't had to take a shit in the morning anymore. Oh yeah, I ate a hotdog for breakfast. I'm going to go to school. I am almost caught up on my proofreading. I have an idea about the CD burner at school. About the temporary memory. I'll try it when I finish proofreading. I have to type up a couple days also.

                   Shit, I left my water bottle. I have to go back home.

     8:12am  I just got to the plaza right now. I'm walking. I left home not too long ago. I had a hotdog for breakfast this morning, so that'll last me a couple hours.

     8:27am  I just got to the college by the soccer fields. I'm going to go raid the ashtrays for snipes.

     8:35am  I got some snipes and I sat down. I brought a little resin ball with me to smoke later on. I am still getting hits out of that broken pipe Matthew hooked me up with. I brought a little ball with me so I can take a hit on my break.

     8:42am  I am nice and baked. I'm going to go type my stuff up.

     10:48am  I am taking another smokebreak. Eureka! I figured out how to get the burner to work, at least burn one CD. I just need to burn a master CD so I can burn all the blanks I have.

                     I came out for a smokebreak. I was going to smoke a snipe I had saved and Will, a guy who works at Pizza Hut told me hi. He just gave me four cigarettes! I appreciate it, bro.

     3:29pm  I just spent the whole day at school juggling around with that temporary memory. I got my rar file made, but there's not enough temporary memory to make the self-extracting exe. I got the CD burner to work, but it wouldn't copy the rar file so I could make the exe. I'm hungry. I hope they give me another burrito at Burrito Tyme.

                   See, this morning I put all my stuff together and updated. I've already logged all the way to 7-11 on my release. I haven't logged afterwards because I've been doing so much work. All I had for breakfast was a hotdog wiener this morning when I woke up. I'm still getting resin out of that broken pipe. I can still scrape it some more.

                   Anyway, I had to juggle around with the temporary memory. It wouldn't let me do it last time because it said it was running out. That I had too much stuff on the hard drive. It lets me make the rar file, and that's the important one you make the self-extracting exe with. I'm going to make it real easy for people. Thing is, I had enough room to play with. I burned a CD with just the rar file. When I tried to copy it to the hard drive, it gave me an error. Like it timed out or something. Bad CRC. I'm going to call Joe. I have his phone number. I'm going to call Joe and ask him for help. He's got tons of memory on his computer.

     4:31pm  Vanessa hooked me up at Burrito Tyme. I appreciate it, Vanessa.

     4:59pm  Scored a fat burrito. I love their burritos. Vanessa, the girl who hooked me up, didn't have time to listen to my story. She ran off right when I got to the "Know what I'm basing all this freedom on?" part.

                   Be sure to include in my index that whole thing I say, "Not only do you remember the shit out of the books(if you're lucky because the shit stays in the book), but you are also programmed with the professor's bias' and opinions, which aren't necessarily right."

     5:01pm  I walked up to these four kids sitting down by the Smith's. I asked them if I could tell them a really interesting story and one guy goes, "You've told me your story a million times."

                   Oh yeah, I came to the Smith's. I'm taking a shit in the bathroom. Oh yeah, I ran into Phil! The guy who's boots are in the freezer at my house. I asked him about them and he said I could have them! He said, "If you can put them to good use you can have them."

     5:30pm  I just finished proofreading 2005. Totally, completely. Well, to 7-11.

     5:35pm  Theresa gave me a cigarette at the plaza. I appreciate it, Theresa. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     5:55pm  I'm going to walk to the school. I'll try to find these Desert Willow Apartments, where Joe lives. I tried calling him from Smith's. His answering machine came on. I didn't leave a message. See, I saw Joe the other night at the bar and he gave me his address. Desert Willow Apartments, F3. He's an RA.

                   Room Administrator, I believe.

     6:09pm  I'm at the school already. I asked these kids in front of the gymnasium where Desert Willow Apartments was. One guy told me they're on the other side of Alta Marino Apartments.

     6:13pm  I walked to Vista Drive. Turning left on South.

                   This girl driving a truck gave me the right directions to Desert Willow. I'm doubling back a little.

     6:17pm  There we go. I see a sign for Desert Willow Apartments. Please Love, let Joe be home.

     6:31pm  I got to Joe's a while back and he's not home. He's an RA, so he's got a wet-erase board on his door. It says, "Hello to all the DWA resident." It has all his numbers. Then it says, "If you seek justice, do it. If you seek truth, speak it. If love is what you seek - true love - then love truly." Anonymous.

                   He also has a sticker on his door that says, "We need more heroes." Some blood drive sticker.

                   He's a Resident Assistant.

                   Cool, there's a marker. I can leave a note. Joe Dunbar.

     7:02pm  I went to the pool at the school and they let me borrow the phone. Joe's number is busy now, which is probably good. I'm going to hike back to his place and see if he's there.

                   This dumbass neighbor of Joe's. I was walking up there and he pulled up to me. He told me Joe had just left. Then he tells me, "Wearing that drug paraphernalia around your neck is only going to get you in trouble around here." I told him, "I paid tax on it. I bought it fair and square." When he started driving off I told him, "You shouldn't be so quick to judge." He stopped his car real quick and said, "Excuse me?" I repeated myself, "I said you shouldn't be so quick to judge." He got this dumb look on his face and said, "I'm just letting you know." Dumbass.

     7:47pm  I walked all the way back to the library. I'm going to get back to work.

     8:36pm  The library just closed. Actually, the library was supposed to close at five today. I don't have that much to type up. I finished the 12th and it's already the 15th, so three days. Oh yeah, in rewinding I got refreshed that I was supposed to meet Joe at nine in the morning tomorrow. We've got an appointment.

                   I walked to the plaza. I'm going to hang out at the bar.

     9:21pm  John is out of hotdogs at Premier. He hooked me up with some lemonade though. I'm going to walk to the bar and I don't know what I'll do.

     9:28pm  Lonny Tracey hooked me up with a couple cigarettes in front of the Capitol Bar.

     9:31pm  Rachel walked in the bar and said, "Hey, what's going on? What's the name of your book?" I've told her my story before. Everybody knows me. I'm the talk of this town too. It's her birthday. Happy birthday, Rachel.

     11:46pm  Ahh, I spent all night at the Capitol Bar just sitting there listening to people play music. It wasn't that fun at all. I only got to tell my story one time. Jason just hooked me up with an American Spirit for home. I'm hungry.

     12:21pm  I am home. I'm kind of hungry, too.

Next day..
