Friday September 19, 2008
                  
     7:26am  I am leaving to walk downtown. I'm not going to walk back. I am considering walking down Wickersham and jumping on the power line trail like I used to. I'll walk that to Guilbeau and score some food at El Tropiko. Francisco will hook me up. He calls me San Antonio. I'll try walking downtown all the way without resting.

     7:47am  I walked the power line trail past Braun Station Elementary. I just found me a tennis ball! I'm going to El Tropiko right now. I just popped out on Guilbeau.

     8:15am  I scored and ate at El Tropiko and smoked at the bus stop in front. I'm all resinated. I was actually able to scrape a resin hit. I've got a tiny bit for later on. I'm walking down the Guilbeau hill now. I'll stop at the Mainland Walmart and refill my ice.

     8:36am  I'm walking down Guilbeau and this pretty lady walking her dog smiled at me. I offered her my website and she got all scared and walked faster. She was all, "No, I have to go to work! I have to go to work!" and kept walking. I asked her, "What's the matter? Are you scared?" She said, "No, I have to go to work!" I yelled at her, "That's right, be afraid. Good little slave!" I probably freaked her out with my big marijuana wreath.

     8:40am  Just got to Bandera. Turning right.

     8:50am  I just got ice at the Walmart. I am contemplating not walking downtown. Let's see if I can get a courtesy ride. I don't want to wear out these sandals.

     9:03am  I smoked a cigarette and took a resin hit. There aren't any buses here, so I'm going to keep walking. I'll walk all the way to the Medical Center and then catch the bus downtown.

     9:11am  Turning left on Westchase.

     9:23am  Walking in front of John Marshall High School on Eckhert. My alma mater.

     9:57am  I didn't tell you. I walked Eckhert all the way to Babcock.

     10:04am  Just passed Medical.

                     I could've walked to Merton Minter, but I said screw it. I cut through the VA hospital parking lot. Since they're doing construction I have to walk inside the hospital to get to Merton Minter where the buses are. With my marijuana wreath on, hehe.

     10:26am  I am at the transfer center already. I've been here for a while. When I walked up this hot older chick complimented my necklace. She was going to give me a little bit of weed, but her bus came. Let's see if I can get a courtesy ride on the 91. "Are you feeling generous today, sir?"

     10:35am  The greedy ass driving the 91 told me no. Good little slave.

     10:42am  The nice 92 driver is hooking me up with a ride downtown, awesome.

     11:22am  Hmm, there's some kind event they're getting ready for in the park.

     12:15pm  Fuck the park police. I was playing with the squirrels like I always do. One ran up a tree and I was tossing a tennis ball at it. One piglet yelled at me, "Don't do that!" Or else what? You gonna take me to jail for playing with the squirrels?

     12:22pm  Monserat came up to me and complimented my necklace. Nobody in the park has any weed, but she agreed to trade me a joint for a pocket knife I had. Everybody gets credit, thanks a lot.

     1:19pm  The nice people at St. Mark's is giving out food to everybody. We appreciate it. Thanks a lot. Everybody gets credit.

     2:45pm  I walked The Riverwalk to the mall and used the restroom. I rode the elevator up and went out the mall exit and posted up here with my shirt as all the tourists walked by. Anytime anybody comments on my shirt I offer them my website. I just told Curtis my story and in the end he volunteered me a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. I took a picture of him and his friend. Everybody gets credit, thanks. The guy with the affliction shirt on. It's funny how the people who come to the mall ignore me. I am having fun yelling at them. Good little slave! Have you always been that ignorant! I can't wait until the cops come.

     3:17pm  Haha, this fatass security came up to me to run me off. I told him I was simply exercising my freedoms. My website is free. I'm not asking for money. I was getting the greatest reactions to my shirts. Everybody loves it. Except this fat fuck. I told him thanks for making my story so interesting and pulled out my camera and stole his soul right in front of his fat face! I was out there for a good bit before the piglet came.

     3:21pm  Haha, after I took the fatass' picture I grabbed my water bag and started walking. All of a sudden this dude walks next to me and asks me where I was from. I told him and immediately hit him up for my story. The rent-a-cop told me to keep moving. That they owned all this property. I told him it's a public sidewalk and I'm not doing anything wrong. The guy who walked up got scared so we just crossed the street and he sat down at a bench and I told him my story. He didn't have much time so I just gave him the website. It's Friday night. I'm going to make my presence known. I already have with that stupid piglet. I should've told him about my loop walks then asked him when was the last time his fatass walked anywhere there wasn't a restaurant closeby, hehe. When he first came up to me and told me I had to leave I snapped back with, "Why don't you call someone with some authority?" He got all mad. What's this guy going to do? Chase me down? Haha. Hmm, now that I think about it, I should've walked into the mall and rode the escalator down and gone out on The Riverwalk.

                   Remember the Alamo?

     3:27pm  I am getting the best publicity ever walking up and down The Riverwalk with all these tourists everywhere. I am all out of websites to give people so I'm making a mad-dash to the library. I hope it's still open. I have a quarter Toxic gave me in the park. I only need one printout. I'm going to be all over downtown tonight. Watch me go to jail, hehe.

     3:38pm  I just got to the library.

     4:03pm  I left the library. I am loaded again with websites to give people.

     5:02pm  I was just walking down The Riverwalk again letting people see my shirt, like I have been for years. Todd was sitting down at a table and when I walked by he said, "Hey, it's you! I saw you in New Orleans on Bourbon Street!"

                   Awesome, I just got recognized from New Orleans! It's a small world.

     5:05pm  I just got my picture taken, nice. Document me, please.

                   I just got my picture taken again!

                   Haha, some guy jumped in the San Antonio river to get his cellphone he dropped!

     5:49pm  I decided I'd try and head home already. I spread the word enough today. Right know I just asked this greedy ass bus driver for a ride. He asked another bus employee riding with him, "Whatta ya think?" Then he said, "Nah, later," and closed the door. What a dick.

     6:13pm  I met Greg who's a refugee from Houston. He's going to smoke a brother out. What's up, Greg? Greg: "I started my job at Chachos on the 11th. I've been here since the 10th. It took me fifteen minutes to get a job. I don't know shit about Mexican food, but I can still get on that grill. Some people around here are cool, like Shorty. Then, I went over here to the Travis Park Church and the dude inside told me, see, I asked him if he knew a place I could probably get a haircut. He told me, "Man, nobody here is going to give you a free haircut." I just love that negative shit. You know what I did? I went down there to Rosco's and I told him I didn't need no money, I didn't need anything. I told him I would sweep, or wash the windows. I got a cut. I am one of the whole few out of seven thousand people who got a job the second day I was here in San Antonio. I feel like this. Everyone who is waiting for a handout, you're gonna continue waiting for a handout. Let me tell you something. FEMA ain't trying to help anyone. I'm not gonna wait for no government to help me, damnit. Just like you said, we can govern ourselves. That means we have our own choice to do our own thing. You can either just sit there and wait for something to be handed to you, or you can get off your ass and go get something."

                   I just took a picture of Greg and Shorty.

                   Greg up and hooked me up with a joint. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks. I traded him for my stuffed money, my pocket pal. He gave me a joint, but he won't give me a cigarette. It's all a number's game. All I have to do is ask. He who knocks persistently ends be entering!

                   But Yvonne gave me a cigarette right now.

     6:15pm  I jumped on the 92. Courtesy ride. Going to head home now. I had a really productive day today. I got so much publicity for my cause. Everyone saw me downtown. Tons of people stopped me to take a picture of me. I've been walking all day. I'm a bit sore. I'm going home now.

     6:30pm  I just saw for the first time a Jimmy John's downtown. Hadn't seen one in San Antonio yet. Louis Pasteur and Babcock, close to there. The bus voice just said, "Approaching Louis Pasteur and Babcock."

     7:35pm  Mondo hooked me up with a cigarette at the hospital. I appreciate it, bro. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     8:04pm  The greedy ass driving the 606 won't give me a ride. I've been walking all day. Man, NOBODY wants world peace!

     8:07pm  I just had an awesome presentation with these two kids. I didn't get their names at all. A guy and a girl. In the end when their bus came the girl told me, "That was very interesting. You are doing what all of us want to do, but don't have the balls to. It's really commendable. Thanks a lot."

                   Travu hooked me up with a transfer. He as all, "Here you go, man."

                   I have a whole hour to kill until the bus comes again.

     8:33pm  Annette, not only did she give me a beautiful ear and listened to my whole story, but she volunteered me a couple cigarettes in the end too. I took her picture. Everybody gets credit.

     9:07pm  Going home. When I got on the bus I told the greedy driver, "Good things come to those who wait."

     9:33pm  I'm at the Mainland Walmart.

     9:50pm  I forgot to tell you I'm already walking home. I called my mom and she immediately said she was too tired to pick me up. I told her I wasn't calling her for a ride, that I was just letting her know I was on my way. I'm walking.

                   I cheated today. I didn't walk downtown. I walked to the Medical Center at least. I might as well be walking a little more.

     10:18pm  I am almost to Old Tezel. I really hope the Church's is open and they'll hook me up. I'm pretty hungry.

                     The Church's is closed. They close at nine.

     10:32pm  I am home.

     12:47am  I am crashing out.

Next day..
