Sunday August 7, 2005

     10:28am  I just woke up. I had a good night's sleep.

     11:02am  I just took two pictures of my little squat here.

     11:35am  I'm up from my squat. I have all my stuff loaded up. I'm going to walk to the Target and try and buy some headphones. So I can type my stuff up.

     11:45am  I just got out of the Boulder Gas Station. I took my morning-shit. I brushed my teeth and put deodorant on. I would've shaved but the lights were flickering and it would've taken me a long time. Now I'm going to walk to Target at 28th and Pearl. Get some headphones and some batteries for my recorder.

     12:09pm  Leaving Target. I bought my headphones and batteries. I'm going to walk to the mall now. Score some breakfast somewhere. I have five bucks left, I don't know.

     12:33pm  Walking by Snarf's. The World's Finest Sandwiches. World's finest, huh? I'm going to go eat breakfast.

                     Screw that place. They didn't pay attention to me at all. I was just standing there waiting to order and they just totally ignored me. Probably because I am wearing a backpack and they're judgmental sinners. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why.

                     I was looking for something to eat and I ran into Jason. He said, "You remember me from last night?" I told him, "Vaguely, I can look it up." Anyway, he hooked me up with a tuna fish sandwich and an iced tea. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     1:11pm  I was wanting an after-meal smoke bad. Then, all of a sudden, Chris walked by and hooked me up with one. I appreciate it, Chris. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     1:29pm  I went into the T-shirt shop and talked to the kid with braces. At Science Artworkshop, I think the place is called. Anyway, I reminded him how he had told me to come by today. He told me he was way too busy. He told me, "I'm willing to carry that shirt that says, Back off man, I'm a journalist." That's a great idea. I asked him, "How much would you charge me?" He told me if they decided to carry it, that I would, of course, get mine for free.

     2:08pm  I never mentioned. I'm on the bus. I'm going to go to CU and type my stuff up at their library. I got the headphones this morning at Target.

     2:16pm  I just got off in front of CU. I'm going to find the library now.

     2:36pm  I just got to the Norlin library. Damn, they're closed on Sundays. That sucks.

     2:44pm  Just caught the bus going back to Pearl Street.

     2:47pm  I just got off the bus and I saw Alexander's, the New Mexican Restaurant from the other day. Where I met beautiful Candice(7-30-05, 6:24pm). I have a five dollar bill. I'm going to go buy some food. Hopefully that pretty girl is working.

                   Candy wasn't here. I'm buying a taco and I told the girl to surprise me.

     3:14pm  I just got out of Alexander's. I had a yummy surprise. I don't know what her name was. Another pretty girl. She told me to go to some park on Wednesday. She's a musician.

                   I never told you I found a pretty necklace at the bus stop this morning.

     3:22pm  Beverly gave me a cigarette on Pearl Street Mall. I appreciate it, sister. Everybody gets credit, thanks. I've got a lighter.

     3:33pm  I am talking to John telling him my story. What's your email, brother? dontbuyintoic@hotmail.com

                   I'm just standing here with my sign asking for nothing. Beverly walked by again.

     3:57pm  Carly, when did I tell you my story last time? About a week ago? Anyway, she gave me a cigarette. I appreciate it.

     5:21pm  I am finally telling Beverly my story in the mall. What's your email, Beverly? mommamaffia@mail.com

                   Oh dude, just right now I ran into Jeremiah, that guy I met in Austin not too long ago when I camped with Jo and Thor. Let me look it up. 4-17-05, 8:04am What a small world.

                   Ivan just walked up to me and gave me a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother.

     6:51pm  Brian hooked me up with a cigarette on Pearl Street Mall. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     7:00pm  I am getting Megan's email. meghan_edwards@comcast.net

     7:31pm  What's your number? 765-215-9387

     8:03pm  I'm talking to Kenny, who plays guitar with his friends on the mall. gogolsss@yahoo.com

     10:15pm  I just had a magical presentation with Janet. I even told her my head-injuries story. Wow, she just gave me an extra two cigarettes!

     10:58pm  Josh hooked me up with a cigarette on Pearl Street. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     11:04pm  I am telling Josh my story. What's your email, brother? derr420@hotmail.com

     11:25pm  I am telling Ashley, Amanda and Nicole my story. mcdowell_nicole@hotmail.com

     12:24am  Dude, I just had this awesome presentation with these three girls right in the pebble pit with all the animals in it. In the mall. I told them all my stories. In the end I showed them my 2004 traveling list and this one girl who was listening wide-eyed the whole time tells me, "You're my hero."

     1:14am  I have to make an update. Oh yeah, I got pulled over by a cop when I was crossing the street. I was going to go scope out the ashtrays at the gas station at the Conoco. Right when I started crossing the street, this cop pulls over. At first I thought they were border patrol because of the black cars. He didn't search me or nothing. He told me, "You have to look both ways before you cross the street or I'm going to have to come scrape you off the sidewalk." I told him, "I know when it's safe to cross the street. I had to learn the hard way." Anyway, Mark just hooked me up with some cookies at the Conoco. Appreciate it. In the morning I can get hooked up at the gyro place. The guy liked my story last time when I paid for it.

     1:30am  I forgot to mention, I'm already at my squat behind the Flowerama. It's so awesome how every single day I have been in Boulder, that I've been able to crash here.

                   Oh yeah, and I told that cop that I was on a mission. He asked me, "On a mission for what?" I told him, "I'm on a mission for Love."

Next day..
