Wednesday August 1, 2007
                
     4:26am  I only got six hours of sleep last night, but I'm going to try and walk all the way downtown and back today. Like I usually do on Wednesdays.

                   I'm out of weed too, so I'm going to take a little resin ball with me.

     5:05am  I am almost ready to go. I took a big resin hit on the backyard. I ate a big bowl of cereal. I am stuffed. I did my stretches and I am ready. I have like three dollars in change and three dollar bills. I'm about to head out. I woke up around four this morning. I'm going to leave around five fifteen. I'm going to smoke some more in the back yard, hehe.

     5:16am  I am off.

     5:25am  I just walked up to the Citgo on Guilbeau and I'm turning left.

     5:39am  Shit, I just realized I forgot my camera so no pictures today. Oh well. I am halfway down Guilbeau already. Right in front of the daycare center where I had my first accident in 96.

     5:54am  Just hit Bandera. Turning right.

     5:59am  Passing Mainland.

     6:09am  Passing Eckhert. Singing Bobby Brown: "Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me. Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission. Make my own decisions. It's my prerogative. It's my prerogative. I can do what I want to do."

     6:16am  I'm having a good morning so far. I've already walked like four or five miles. I am almost to Huebner on Bandera. About a quarter mile from Huebner. I haven't rested one time. I'm going to see how far I can go without resting. At first I was considering stopping at the HEB Marketplace on 410 and Bandera and buying a taco for breakfast even though I had a big bowl of cereal. If I am not tired when I get there I am not going to stop. I'm going to keep going. Let's see if I can go all the way downtown without resting, hehe.

     6:18am  Just passed Huebner.

     6:24am  Passing Poss Road. Over by the Dairy Queen.

     6:26am  Passing Grissom. It sucks that I don't have any weed for my walk. I've got a little resin ball. See how long that twenty sack my sister helped me score lasted me? I'll look that up and see exactly how long it lasted me(7-24-07, wow, about eight days). I smoked that all myself. Well, I smoked some people out, of course.
                  
     6:28am  Walking in front of the remodeled Judge Onion House. The Huebner-Onion Homestead Restoration Project. They have a paved walking path right here. I think I have to take a shit a little bit from my walking. I'm going to take a leak out of view of the cars. Alright.

                   I stopped like thirty seconds to take a leak and I am walking now.

     6:34am  Just passed Seneca.

     6:35am  I found me a full Country Time Lemonade on the ground. Umm, I'm going to throw it away because it was open. I'm not really that thirsty and I can always steal some lemonade out of the soda fountain at HEB. I got water anyway.

     6:45am  Just passed Wurzbach. Coming up on Loop 410 pretty soon. I was thinking about stopping at IHOP, but that will take too much time. I have like five or six dollars. I'm going to stick to my original plan of stopping at the Marketplace and buying a breakfast taco. I can get it to-go and eat as I walk, hehe. For some reason I want to hurry today.

     6:49am  About to pass underneath Loop 410. It's six fifty now.

     6:54am  I'm going to go in the HEB and buy some tacos.

     7:01am  I am leaving HEB. I got my tacos to-go. I got me a bacon egg and potato taco and a burrito. I put them in my bag and I'm going to keep walking. It sucks that I stopped here. I could be down the road a little more.

     7:04am  I changed my mind. I'm going to stop and eat breakfast here in front of 549 Bandera Road. This is the same office complex they have that Vineyard church at(4-6-03-4th paragraph). I'm going to sit down and eat my tacos and smoke a cigarette. I'll take a resin hit. I stole some lemonade from HEB, muhaha.

     7:16am  I am leaving from my first break. I am not going to stop until I get downtown. I'm nice and resinated.

     7:23am  Passed Callaghan about four or five minutes ago.

     7:28am  Passing Evers.

     7:35am  Passing Broadview.

     7:39am  The sun is up and everyone is waving back at me today.

     7:40am  Passed Hillcrest. Oh yeah, I didn't tell you I'm wearing my WORLD PEACE THROUGH MARIJUANA shirt I made. I have a picture 

of me wearing it on The Riverwalk already. I'll show you which shirt I am wearing. People area all honking at me. I love this shirt.

     7:44am  Walking past Cheryl.
                   
                    Flea market on the right.

     7:48am  Walking in front of Starline Costumes. Open all year round. I wonder if they have a webpage. I remember this place from when I was small. It's been here forever.

     7:50am  Right now some old dude and his kids honked and gave me the peace sign before I did. He probably read my shirt.

     7:51am  Passing Zachry Street by the Super Fiesta convenience store.

     7:53am  I'm stopping at the Taqueria Jalisco #6 to take a piss.

     7:55am  Leaving the taqueria. Everybody was looking at my shirt when I walked in there.

     8:01am  That sucks! I lost the Puerto Rico bracelet my little brother gave me. I'm going to call my mom in Puerto Rico and tell her to bring me another one.

     8:04am  Just passed Woodlawn. I'm going to stop at the bus stop here and take a resin hit. I'm sure I'll be able to score a two dollar joint at Travis Park when I get there. That will be my prerequisite for walking back. I have to get stoned.

     8:06am  Up from my resin hit. Singing: "Here comes the sun, here comes the sun."
                  
     8:11am  Passing W Ashby.

     8:13am  Passing Cincinnati. Hmm, I'm going to walk Cincinnati to Culebra, like I did last time.

                   Turning right on Epworth. I'm going to get back on Bandera.

     8:21am  Just hit Culebra, turning left.

     8:31am  Ha! I just ran my head into this hanging muffler on the muffler shop sign! Javie's Muffler and Tire Service. I have my Gilligan hat on and I was looking down. There were some people outside and we were all laughing. BONG! It didn't hurt that much because I have my hat on. That was hilarious, haha.

     8:34am  Passing Alazan Creek.

     8:45am  I'm about to walk underneath I10/87.

     8:47am  Passing Kensington Street. I'm coming up on Hermanos Ayala. 547 Culebra Road. I've got the business card in my wallet. It's where I got hooked up the other day and this girl Susanna there eating offered me her breakfast taco that she wasn't going to eat. I'm not stopping there at all today. I'm going to walk right past it.

     8:55am  I just hit Fredericksburg and turning right. Ahh, there's my downtown. There's the tower.

                   Just hit San Pedro and Cypress. Turning right on San Pedro off of Cypress. I can't wait to get to the park and eat this burrito I have in my bag. I'm hungry.

     9:08am  Walking over and under I35.

     9:13am  Walking by the Central Library. Coming up on Augusta. I am almost to Travis Park.

     9:18am  I'm going to stop before the park and take a resin hit. Between Convent and Martin.

     9:20am  I just got to Travis Park.

                   Holy shit! I made it to Travis Park today in four hours! All-time personal record!

     11:10am  I walked all the way to Travis Park and hung out with Anna, who unfortunately her boyfriend Eddie died not too long ago. He got stabbed. She has the most adorable little puppy. His name is Travis. Eddie had named him after the park. Nobody's got any weed in the park. There's supposed to be a lot of free food around eleven thirty. The Roach Coach is coming and they're feeding at the church. I'm going to get loaded up for my walk back. I'm going to keep walking around the park and see if somebody can sell me a two-dollar joint.

     11:53am  The Roach Coach from Saint Mark's is feeding everyone downtown today. We appreciate it, guys. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     11:56am  Cintrell sold me half a joint for a dollar. I am walking home now. I have a little weed for the walk home. I'm walking already. I'm going to sit down and eat something. I'm going to walk Fredericksburg all the way home. Hell yeah, I'm going to be famous, hehe.

                   Actually, I'm going to go eat lunch down on The Riverwalk somewhere. Damnit, I don't have a cigarette, that sucks.

                   Maybe I won't eat down on The Riverwalk. I'm going to want one after I'm done eating. I am going to stay at street-level.

     12:03pm  I am walking home now. Rachelle just gave me a cigarette over by the library. I appreciate it, Rachelle. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     12:07pm  I just crossed the street after I bummed a cigarette and I sat down in the shade at a bus stop. I am eating and then I'm going to smoke.

     12:20pm  I am leaving from my smokebreak in the shade. I'm going to walk home.

     12:25pm  I had a pretty good time downtown. I didn't document much. At the park I told this pretty girl my story. She even waited to catch the next bus to hear it. She was real cute. I forgot her name though. I think her name was Eliana, or she had a tattoo on her leg that said that. It's probably her daughter's name. I'm walking down San Pedro about to pass Euclid. By the Valero.

                   It's facking hot. It's really hot. I wish it would rain.

     12:34pm  I am on Fredericksburg now. I just crossed Flores.

     12:37pm  I just got to Culebra.

     12:40pm  Passing Blanco Road.

     12:44pm  Passing Cincinnati.

     12:50pm  Passing Woodlawn. I'm about to go underneath I10/87.

     12:51pm  I just walked over and under Mcdermitt Freeway.

     12:56pm  I stopped at the Oak Farms Dairy and asked some guys working there if they had a vending machine I could buy a thing of milk from. That would just hit the spot right now. A cold milk. It's hot as hell today. I am all sweaty.

     1:07pm  Passing Mary Louise over by the Deco District HEB. Hildebrand is coming up.
                  
     1:13pm  I walked by some bank and it's ninety one degrees right now.

                   Walking's first rule. Three words. Hydrate or die. I have to get some water. Actually, I'm going to go buy a Gatorade.

     1:16pm  I think I have a dollar in change. I'm going to go to the Valero coming up and see if I can buy me a Gatorade. The Valero almost to Vance Jackson on the left.

     1:22pm  I am leaving the Valero. The girl in there let me fill my bottle with Gatorade out of the fountain for eighty five cents. I also got me an almost brand new Marlboro 100 snipe out of the ashtray. I'm not sure where I am going to take a break at. I have more food to eat. I'm getting a little hungry. Maybe I'll stop at Santa Fe Apartments. I don't know.

     1:26pm  Walked past the Goodwill.

     1:31pm  Passing Tink-a-Taco.

     1:34pm  Walking in front of the plasma place. 3655 Fredericksburg.

     1:42pm  Passing Balcones Heights Road. I'm going to keep going. I am not going to stop at Santa Fe. I'm thinking I'll stop at the shady spot in front of Oak Hills Tavern by Medical, where I smoked the other day on the way downtown.

                   I just stopped once at the place to get my Gatorade. Other than that I have been walking since downtown non-stop.

     1:51pm  I just ran into this guy named Rick who knew me from West Telemarketing. He recognized me. I don't remember who he is, but he looked familiar. I am almost to Loop 410.

     1:57pm  Walking over Loop 410. Leaving Balcones Heights.

     1:59pm  Oh yeah, I changed my mind about resting at Oak Hills Tavern. I'm going to rest in the country club, man. Oak Hills Country Club instead. I'll take a shortcut over to Ewing Halsell/Louis Pasteur. I'll walk home from there.

                   I'm going to go in La Fonda(3-17-05-2:15pm) and ask for a cup of ice so I can drink the rest of my Gatorade cold in the country club while I take my rest.

     2:02pm  I went in La Fonda and got me a cup of ice. The lady in there was looking at me all weird because of my shirt.

     2:09pm  Passing Magic.

     2:12pm  I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to go swimming! I'm going to stop at the Eagle's Nest pool and have lunch. I can use my new compression shorts as swim trunks. Eagle's Nest has a badass pool. 5211 Fredericksburg. I hope there's not a lot of people out there.

     2:17pm  I've got an update to make. This greedy ass bitch with two kids that was at the pool, she saw me walk in with my stick and marijuana shirt. She saw me taking off my shirt and she asked me, "Do you have a pass?" I told her, "Listen, I just walked like thirty  miles!"

     2:21pm  That sucks so much. I can't swim. She was all, "Do you have a pass?? You can't swim here if you don't have a pass." I just walked my ass off, like her fat-ass ever will. Then they maintenance guy showed up and she tattled on me. She told him it wasn't that fair to her if I swim. I should've asked her, "Not fair? When was the last time your fat ass walked thirty miles?" I should've asked these two cute girls swimming underneath the shade part if they would let me be their guest.

     2:23pm  Turning into 5403 Fredericksburg. The Oak Hills Country Club. Let me find a shady spot and eat.

     2:38pm  Left from my refreshing break in the shade. That Gatorade was good ice-cold. I have a little bit left. I'm going to go ask for some ice here at the country club. I also need a new tennis ball. If I don't get one here I can get one at the hospital I'm sure.

     2:50pm  I am walking through the UT Health Science Center. I'm passing the Dental School right now. I'll make my way to the transit center. Man, I am so tempted to ride a bus home. I'm not sure what to do. I have food in my bag. I ate a peanut butter sandwich when I rested at the country club. I smoked some weed and smoked a cigarette. I am really tempted to ride the bus home on the excuse that it's too hot. Screw it, I can do eet. I'm just lazy and I'll feel bad for taking two days off. Dude, I have to do so much typing. I need to cut back on the walking.

     2:57pm  I am looking for tennis balls at the tennis courts here. If I don't find any I'm riding the bus home. I'm not going to let my stick die. I don't have any tennis balls.

     3:05pm  I walked in the VA Hospital and asked a policeman, "Is there somewhere I can get some ice in here?" He immediately asked me, "Are you a veteran?" I told him no, but he asked me again so I said yeah. He told me, "At first you told me no." I asked him, "Well, then why did you ask me again?" I told him, "Alright, thanks anyway," and started walking out. He was right behind me so I asked him, "Hey, will you check out my website? It's free." He said, "No, no. That's soliciting." I yelled, "Man, nobody wants world peace!" Hehe, he's looking at me talking into my tape recorder right now.

     3:52pm  I just got off the 606 in front of the Church's close to my mom's house. All my friends, my fan-club saw me get off the bus and called me over. I went over there and asked them if they could give me some ice for my Gatorade. They went sure and asked me what kind. I told them just ice. They loved my shirt and AK asked me, "Got any weed?" I told him no, that I wish I did. He pulled out a sack and gave me a couple nuggets! Oh, man! I even got some food now! Hell yeah! Let me get a cast of characters. Chastity and AK are hooking me up rowdy at the Church's. I appreciate it, guys. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                   I miss Chasity.

     4:10pm  Chastity was nice enough to give me a cigarette at the Church's. She had already given me one before. I appreciate it.

     4:25pm  I got to celebrate on time. Dude, I just got off the 606 in front of the Church's and all the kids called me over there. They ended up hooking me up with some ganja and some chicken. How awesome. Right now I am telling them my Odyssey story. Oh yeah, and the girl's name is Chastity. That's weird. I miss Chasity.

     4:37pm  I am heading home.

     4:50pm  Did I tell you that the eagle landed already? Right when I got to my mom's street these kids pulled over in a car. They had seen my shirt and they asked me if I had any bud. I got great reactions with this shirt all day long. I told them I only had very little. I told them I had just gotten hooked up at the Church's. I gave them my website. Okay, I'm going to go take a cold shower.

     5:06pm  I just got out of a really cold shower. It was awesome. I turned the air conditioner on when I get on so the house would be cool after I got out of the shower.

     8:26pm  I downloaded some documentary movie called The Illuminati. After twenty minutes into it stopped playing. It was talking about the codes in the dollar bill like the little owl. I'm going to try and get it to work. I tried burning the ISO to a CD, but now it's not reading the disc. Let me try and burn it again. I'll download some codec packs.

Next day..
