Boulder, CO
Sunday July 31, 2005
7:41am I just woke up. I had a great night's sleep.
8:04am I've got all my stuff stashed behind the Flowerama. Oh yeah, I just noticed I had written Victor the Liberator with a peace sign on the fence here last year. It's still there. That's so awesome.
I went to the Conoco across the street to look for cigarettes in the ashtray. I found a brand new one in the trashcan. I'm going to go to Boulder Gas across the street and see if I can use the restroom.
8:43am I went to the gas station across the street and took a shit and brushed my teeth. I tagged Victor the Liberator on the door. I asked the Middle Eastern cashier if he would charge me for ice and he told me twenty five cents. I had a quarter in my pocket and I reached for it. He must've seen the peace tattoo on the back of my neck because when I tried handing him the quarter he told me, "Don't worry about it, man."
8:48am I walked down to the Diamond Shamrock and Mike hooked me up with some change so I can get some cookies. I appreciate it. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
9:08am I just walked this trail that runs parallel to Valmont. I'm on Airport Road behind these apartments.
I'm just walking in any direction, I don't care. I'm going to walk this trail right here. I'm over by 55th Street where Valmont turns. I think I'm going to try and catch the bus somewhere eventually.
9:28am I doubled back a little on Valmont. I'm on Pearl Parkway now. Close to the big post office. Umm, I'm hoping Pearl Parkway eventually turns into Pearl Street.
I sat down to rest at a bus stop. In case one comes and I can try and get a courtesy ride.
9:43am I sat down and ate my cookies at the bus stop on 55th. I'm walking into Pearl East Business Park and look for ashtrays.
A city bus passed by, but didn't stop.
9:54am I walked down, I'm turning left on Pearl Street now. Maybe I should turn right. I'm not sure.
I am walking underneath Foothills Parkway. Hopefully Pearl Street continues on the other side of the highway.
I'm on the Goosecreek Greenway Trail
10:08am I found a snipe so I'm going to stop right underneath 30th Street in the shade and smoke it. I stashed my backpack at my squat behind the Flowerama. Please Love, protect my stuff. I'm doing some really good work.
10:12am I am leaving from smoking my snipe. I'm walking towards 28th Street. Ooh, wait. There's a Pizza Hut.
The guy in the Pizza Hut said, "Man, we're not even open yet." Actually, I'm not that far from where I crashed last night. I'm going to go get me a couple extra tennis balls.
I walked by a Mexican Carniceria and thought, "Nah, I'm not going to score any food here." I went inside and hit the lady up and she told me to sit down real quick. "Siéntese, siéntese." I had asked her, "¿No me puedes dar algun desalluno para poder caminar?" She hooked me up. Awesome.
10:37am Marcela, en la carniceria me esta dando comida. Te lo agradezco, Marcela. Todo el mundo recibe crédito, gracias.
10:39am I am stuffed, man. She hooked me up big-time with a bigass torta. I'm stuffed.
10:43am I went to my squat behind the Flowerama and got me two extra tennis balls. Now I'm walking down Valmont. In the right direction this time.
10:52am I stopped at the 7-11 and I got some ice water. I found a snipe in the ashtray.
10:56am I'm on Folsom.
I was walking on 26th. Turning left on Meadow Avenue. It turns left on 21st.
11:18am The city bus pulled up and Star is being nice enough to give me a courtesy ride. I appreciate it, Star.
11:46am I just got off on Pearl Street at 20th Street. I'm going to walk through the mall now. I am glad I didn't have to walk all the way here. Thanks, Star. The bus driver was cool. I told her my platform but she didn't have time to listen to any more. I told her the spirit's part.
12:00pm Pater hooked me up with a cigarette on the mall. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

I'm talking to Drew and his friend Bill. dleo16509@yahoo.com
Ni le pedi y Miguel me dio cinco dolares. Te lo agradezco, señor. Todo el mundo recibe crédito, gracias.
Hell yeah, a five dollar bill. After I told him my story that guy asked me, "Do you accept donations?" I tried translating as much as I could in Spanish for him.
I just told these two girls my story over by the pizza place. Liza and Nicole. They offered me a slice of pizza. I appreciate it, guys. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
5:17pm I just told Calyn my story on the mall and she just volunteered me four dollars. I appreciate it, Calyn. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

6:42pm We are over by Boulder Creek.
7:05pm We were walking by Arapahoe, close to Alexander's where that beautiful girl Candy works. I'm going to go see if she's there.
Ty hooked me up with a cigarette in front of Alexander's. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
7:13pm I am telling Sam my story. What was your email, bro? drugsanddreams.com
Umm, I need to go to Target and buy some new socks. So I don't have to do my laundry, hehe.
7:33pm I got hooked up with a whole slice of pizza in the mall. I couldn't understand the details on my recording.
8:03pm Freddy hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the courthouse. I appreciate it, brother.
I am telling Franklin my story, the guy who hooked me up with the slice of pizza. What was your email, brother? Franklin: "Well, my Hotmail address is viator@hotmail.com
I am telling these girls my story in front of the courthouse. Emails? katelynn.kennelly@colorado.edu
I had a great presentation with those two girls! Blowing minds tonight.
9:16pm Haha, I am having a good time! At the last minute I changed my mind. I thought I was going to catch the bus to Target and go buy some socks. I've got nine bucks. At the bus stop this girl was sitting there. This real yuppie sold-out girl. She was yelling stuff at me like, "Oh no! People need money!" I got her all riled up. She wouldn't listen to me at all. It was funny. Then I got on the bus and told the driver my story and he loved it. That ignorant girl saw me tell him my presentation. She is never going to forget me. Well, I'm at Target now. Just got dropped off.
Damnit, Target is closed already. It's Sunday. They closed at nine. Damnit. I'm just going to walk to the Flowerama.
10:35pm I need to tell you what happened. Let's see. Target was closed, so I walked to the Wendy's and bought a burger. I got it to-go. The target isn't far from where I squat behind the Flowerama. Just like three or four blocks on 28th from the Target at 28th/Pearl. It was still kind of early last night so I decided I'd go hang out at a gas station close to the Flowerama and tell people my story. I did walk a lot today. I walked a lot this morning. It shouldn't take me that long to go to sleep.
I'm just chilling here at my squat. I already have my bed made. Man, I am so amazed at this little squat that I have. The universe really does provide. I am like the only person that's ever squatted here. This place is perfect. It's like my own little apartment, hehe. Anyway, I'm in bed already and I'm going to go to sleep pretty soon. Lie down at least.
