Celina to Rockford, OH

Monday July 21, 2008

     5:17am  Frosted flakes for breakfast. I'm supposed to go to court this morning.
                  
     8:53am  I tried going back to sleep, but couldn't. Took a long, hot shower and found a crossword puzzle in a STAR tabloid magazine. It kept be busy for a while.

                   Right now I just got out of jail, I went and talked to the judge and everything. The judge was cool as hell. He said that my time-served paid for my paraphanalia and possesion charge and he dismissed the contributing charge.
                   I wrote down all the stuff that I went through. I was in jail for the bullshit charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Just for passing out my website. Man, that's so much bullshit. I'm going to go to the library and check my email now.

                   Right before I got arrested at the I.C. Fest I put my bags at the movie theater. I went to the theater to get my stuff, but they told me it was with the police at city hall. So I went to city hall and they had my pack and bag. Nothing is missing, but I am sure they went through it all. I am whole once more and everything is fine. I am out of jail. I hope my mom's package is here already. I need to call Sean. Right now I'm going to go to the library and check my email. That's the first thing I'm going to do. After that I'm going to walk to the shelterhouse and try and get smoked out. Maybe I should do that first. I don't know.

                   I just left the library. I had a good online session. Lots of people signed my guestbook. The first day I was in jail I told some dude who was getting out to sign my guestbook and tell people I was in jail. He did.

     4:53pm  I had a great reception at the shelterhouse by my fanclub. Dude, I just called my mom and she said, "Victor, are you sitting down? They're building your sidewalk." Yeehaw! I want to go back to San Antonio now. That makes my whole jail experience totally worth it. The package she sent me should get here tomorrow. Oh yeah, when I first got to the shelterhouse Louie gave me a little chunk of weed to put in my cigarette. I am sure the cops are all going to be watching me now. I took off my marijuana shirt. I've got my Make It Happen shirt on. Oh yeah, this older guy Jim, a dad of one of the kids I told my story to, he walked up to me and shook my hand. He said he wanted to meet me.

     5:05pm  I am so happy. Not only did I get high, but I also got news they're building my sidewalk in San Antonio! I was thinking maybe that's a sign to go back to San Antonio. My mom even told me that if I needed help with busfare she would. Hmm, I've done enough of the East Coast. I can always come back. It's decided. I'm going back to San Antonio.

     5:13pm  Man, I am in the greatest mood right now. I heard there was another Mexican restaurant in town besides La Caretta. I asked the kids and they told me that it was real closeby, Casa Rodriguez. I'm going to go eat, watch.

                   The girl there quickly told me, "Have a seat." Score. After I gave her my line in English, she thinks for a minute and asks me, "Do you have an ID?" I said sure and showed it to her. She saw that I was in fact Victor Antonio from San Antonio and quickly told me to sit down.

     5:28pm  Sophia at Casa Rodriquez is giving me some food. I appreciate it, Sophia. Everybody gets credit.

     5:33pm  Hell yeah, I scored a bigass plate of enchiladas at Casa Rodriquez. I had told the kids, "Watch me come back with some food," but she just told me to sit down, so I ate it there. I took a picture of the food, so I can show that to them, hehe.

     6:09pm  Some dude in jail told me about some place called Source where they'll give me a bus ticket anywhere. I'm going to go to City Hall and ask them.

     7:14pm  A cop just pulled up at the shelterhouse. I took a picture of all the people at the shelterhouse. The cop called me over to him and told me I had told the judge that I was going to go to Rockford to get a package from my mother and that then I would leave. He was basically telling me that if I didn't leave that it would be as if I lied to the judge. Right then Justin, wearing a marijuana shirt offered me a place to crash. He lives right outside of town he says. I'm going to tell his parents my story, hell yeah.

     8:40pm  Justin's mom said I couldn't stay. She listened to my story though. She was an alcoholic. Oh well. That just means I'm walking to Rockford. It's like ten miles I think. I'm going to walk back to 127. It was funny, at Justin's I called the police and told them, "If you guys want me out of town so bad, can I get a courtesy ride to Rockford?" The girl said they don't provide that service.

     8:45pm  Man, I was only like a block away from Justin's, wondering how I was going to get to Rockford. All of a sudden, close to the Pizza Hut Jimmy pulls over and asks me if I needed a ride. I told him my story at the movie theater the other night. He works at the drive-in which is part of the movie theater. When he offered me a ride I asked him if he could take me to Rockford. He said he was almost out of gas. I asked him if he had a five gallon gas tank, that if he did I could get him some free gas. He said he did at his house so that's where we're heading.

                   We came to his house and he had a little gas left in the five gallon tank and he found some change and home so he's taking me to Rockford, perfect.

     9:05pm  Jimmy wanted me to tell his friend my story, so we came over to this basketball court, but his friend wants to keep playing. That's what the website is for. All the rides and vendor booths from the I.C. Fest are all parked back here.

                   I figured I would have Jimmy drop me off downtown and I would borrow somebody's cellphone to call Sean to find out where he lived. Then I kind of rememberd logging the intersection he lived at when I was smoking on his front porch a couple days ago. I was able to research the intersection and Jimmy dropped me off right in front of Sean's house. His father answered the door and I was welcomed in.

     10:03pm  I had an unnerving discovery when I was in the shower. I had head lice! That's why my scalp has been itching so much. I just shaved all my dreadlocks off. I guess that's what I get for sleeping outside without a tent. I just shaved my whole head.

                   Man, Sean and his family have been so nice to me. I feel so welcome here.

Next day..
