Monday July 20, 2009

     5:11am  I woke up around five with seven hours of sleep. I feel great. I'm going to Powell today.

     5:42am  Up and at 'em. I'm going to walk to the rescue mission on Burnside and see if I can score a shower.

     6:01am  Rescue mission, my ass. You have to sleep here to take a shower. Screw that, I don't need a place to sleep.

                   The first greedy ass driving the #9 won't give me a courtesy ride. It's all a number's game.

                   The second greedy ass told me no too. Third time will be a charm, hopefully.

     6:50am  Third time was a charm. The nice driver gave me a courtesy ride. He told me, "Ride at your own risk." I'll take my chances with the fare inspector. What could they do? Give me a ticket? Sheet, I'm traveling so I don't give a damn. When I asked the driver for a ride I told him how my job didn't pay me money, that I worked for free.

     7:20pm  Here I am, 82nd and Powell.

     7:37pm  Carrie was nice enough to give me a cigarette at the corner. I appreciate it, Carrie. Everybody gets credit.

                   Barry Cooper, Never Get Busted. I'll look that up.

     11:22am  664-dwa, this girl was ignoring the hell out of me! Nobody wants world peace! Thanks for proving me right.

     11:37am  I am having so much fun. I am yelling at people hardcore. I am in front of the Carl's Jr. now. Ha, these cops just pulled up to the light and are watching me talk into my recorder. I hope they check out my website.

     12:02pm  I am having so much fun out here today spreading my word and flying my sign.

                     I am conducting a study, people. I am doing some research.
 
     12:32pm  Not too long ago I got hooked up with a big ganja cookie. This guy and girl came up to me and said they would hook me up with a ganja cookie. The dude said, "Oh, you want to get two for five?" I told him no, maybe if it was real weed. The girl gave me the cookie regardless.

                     Jason just came up to me on the corner and asked me if I wanted to make a movie. I told him, "Yes, document me, please." I don't know. I am going to stick around until Friday at least.

                     I usually don't call people ignorant in cars, but fuck it, I have been. I am not scared.

                     There's no such thing as bad publicity.

                     Nobody wants world peace! Everybody is ignoring me no. You all must like war! You war-mongerers. I was just testing you!

     1:37pm  Mama Angel just blessed me with a dollar. I appreciate it, Angel. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot. Way to live up to your name.

     2:30pm  I wrapping up shop today. Another full day of work.

     2:36pm  The nice driver gave me a courtesy ride. I told him I would take my chances with the fare-inspector.

                   I have twelve dollars total from my sign-flying today. I spent a couple dollars on burger and ten dollars on weed.

     3:21pm  About five minutes ago I got to the Max station.

     3:51pm  I went to the library and checked my email. I got a couple good guestbook signatures. I went outside to ask people for world peace. I got directed to some park with fountains. I overheard these two guys walking in front of me talking about Texas. I actually met another fellow San Antonian! We are teaming up on a mission for weed.

                   Emmanuel is hooking me up with a cigarette over by the waterfront. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     9:00pm  I just ran into crazy Jenna from Berkeley[3-02-09 : 5:52am] in the park. I saw her last in Santa Cruz. I think I'm going to wander on home already. I've got a loaf of bread for food. Oh yeah, I got weed.

     9:32pm  Awesome presentation right now with this beautiful girl. Her boyfriend is deaf and when they walked by I noticed they were talking in sign language. I quickly signed my name to them and the girl laughs and tells me she's not deaf. She listened great to me.

                   Put a link to sacred geometry on my website. Flower of life. Suggested by another Puertorican. Did I tell you I met a dude from San Antonio earlier? I hung out with him for a bit and scored some weed.

     11:36pm  I am crashing out. Oh wait, I forgot to brush my teeth.

     11:38pm  All done brushing my teeth. I'm going to go to bed. It's friggin' hot tonight. I'm going to sleep in my underwear in my sleeping bag.

Next day..
