Thursday August 12, 2004

     3:07pm  I am having a pretty good day so far. I needed something to do. I have been working on my webpage all day. I typed up a lot of days. They have these two big apple trees in the front yard. The ground is all littered with rotten apples everywhere. I undertook the chore of cleaning up all the apples by hand. I am taking a break right now, but I already have two trash bags full of apples.

     3:15pm  John hooked me up with a cigarette outside the Circle A Ranch.

     11:27pm  I have to recap for the day. I picked up every single apple I could see on the lawn. I filled up four trash bags full of rotten apples. I had a good productive day. I did a lot of good work on my webpage. I typed up a lot of my stuff. I'm already on the 25th of last month. Every waking moment of my day was spent working on something. I didn't waste any time at all. I love it.

     3:25am  I am having me a good productive day. I've been on the computer all day long typing up my stuff. I already finished up July. I only have twelve days to be caught up. But then I still have the six months in San Antonio that I haven't typed up. I don't think I'll be typing that up here.

     8:19pm  Today is open-mic night. They've got the fire going good in the fire pit. Elijah just came up to me and told me, "Hey, we have a problem with you being here. We're taking on so many new tenants. You have to be out of here by tomorrow." Holy shit, man. I bust my ass here. I pulled all the weeds in the pit. I picked up every single apple in the yard. I helped move the big fridge. Now, they want me to go? What the hell? Maybe my story will save me tonight. If I am able to tell it.

     8:21pm  Who else is doing more for world peace than I am? This resource was perfect for me. A computer with a CD burner. Now I'm going to have to leave? Damnit. What the hell? Why does everybody have to fuck with the guy trying to bring world peace? These people do not realize how important what it is I am doing here. God-damn. I guess I'm leaving tomorrow.

     11:00pm  I had a terrible presentation at open-mic tonight. I was standing there all bummed out, watching people give presentations that aren't nearly as important at mine. I got to thinking. I figured since I was told I had to leave today, I would mention my eviction in my presentation in front of everybody. It was the first time I've even been up in front of so many people. I left out a very important part. I left out the whole six thousand email addresses and how I am jumping the ignorance-barrier part.

     12:47am  Tressa gave me a cigarette. Thank you, sister.

     1:10am  I have to make an update. After my really bad presentation I got chance to make an addendum after everybody else went. I got up there and added that crucial part I had left out. I finished off my story. I also told them, "I just got my eviction notice tonight. I would think that Circle A would want to be noted for expediting world peace and not elongating the process. I have been working hard here and it's not like I am playing games when I stay on the computer all day. I am making my webpage which should bring world peace." After I said that, John asked me who had given me an eviction notice. He told me that him and Jo, his girlfriend could vouch for all my hard work and that he would talk to the other guys about it. I feel like telling them, "You guys just treat the symptoms. I'm fighting for the cure."

                   Tonight turned out a little better though. I got up and got to get some closure on my presentation. I got to say what I wanted to say. Well, some of it. I even got some email addresses afterwards. They came up and asked me. Awesome. I'm tired. I'm going to go to sleep.

                   Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that Javier, the Puertorican guy came up to me and told me he was leaving tomorrow. In Spanish he told me to just keep on doing what I am doing. That made me feel a lot better.

Next day..
