Tucamcari, NM to Amarillo, TX
Monday October 5, 2009
4:56am I had some changing in my time zones. I'm almost to Tucamcari. That's awesome. What a beautiful ride I got. Thank you, Louis.
5:40am Did I tell you I got dropped in Tucumcari by cool Louis? I went in the bathroom at the gas station and took a shit. I layered up and put on my tights. I'm going to go find a place to take a nap. I got a couple hours of sleep in Louis' van, I think.
I can't believe I was magically transported thirty miles away from the Texas panhandle! Thank you, LOVE. Thank you, LOVE. The universe provides so much. How can people doubt it?
8:40am I had a nice relaxing morning. I only got like an hour of sleep right now. I'm wide awake. I camped out behind these trucks. I'm going to go post up at the gas station and try and get out of here. I want to try and get a ride to Amarillo today. I need to get to Texas already.
I went in the truckstop and filled up my bag with ice. [technical difficulties here, lost some recording]
Gilberto me dio cambio. Muchisimas gracias.
9:55am Ben gave me some food, awesome. I didn't ask for anything.
10:30am I can't believe this place is called Love's. The management was all parading outside and walked up to me and told me they can't have me hanging out here. They wouldn't even accept my website. Damn, you guys must like war! I was just testing you. You good little slaves.
I just saw another guy get a ride. This hobo that had been here for ten days. He came to the stopsign and sat down and eventually a trucker told him to get in.
I made a sign that says TX on it.
I'm playing the patience game thumbing it here. There aren't that many cars. I was sporting my WE ARE ALL CONNECTED sign and my SUPPORT THE CAUSE sign, bot nobody stopped.
1:40pm Bob just pulled over for me and he's giving me a ride to Amarillo! I appreciate it, Bob. I didn't know when I was getting out of there. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot. He said he turned around to come get me. He saw my TX sign.
2:11pm Back in Texas!
Be sure and download Pray for Peace by EXTREME.
3:11pm I am in Amarillo! Bob just dropped me off at Amarillo College. I'm going to see if I can check my email or something. I haven't checked it since the public library in Helena[9-25-09], I think.
When Bob first picked me up he was busy talking on his cellphone. He's an insurance guy so all he was talking was about money and stuff. I wondered how my story would go with him. He actually liked it a lot.
I came to the library at the college. Let's see if they'll let me use their computers.
The greedy asses won't let me use the computers at the college, screw that. Screw this town.
I went downstairs then I went back up to use the restroom.
4:38pm I had a time zone difference. I just asked somebody what time it was and they told me 4:36pm I'm not sure when I crossed a time zone. I'll look it up when I type it up.
4:57pm I came to the Valero. This place called Toot 'n Totum.
5:15pm I was walking away from the college because the greedy asses won't let me use their computers. I started walking towards the highway. I passed by this place that looked like a gas station. It's a Ceramic Dental Lab now. These brothers were outside talking and I gave them the peace sign and approached them with my website. Taylor just hooked me up with a Taylor-made.
5:24pm These two dudes I just walked by just invited me to smoke some weed! Hell yeah, welcome to Amarillo.
8:00pm I haven't told you, I had a great reception to Amarillo. All these twenty year old kids drove me around and smoked me out. We went this park. Well, there weren't even benches but it was a big field in the middle of the streets. I told them my story and they were captive listeners. They were trying to score some weed, but they couldn't. I forgot their names. Right now I had left my walking stick in one of their trucks and we came to this highschool to meet him to get it back. I walked around the tennis courts here and just found me three balls. I also found a cool Swiss Gear water bottle. Hopefully I'll get place to crash somehow.
Don't forget to download Superbad.
10:47pm I haven't been too updative today because I haven't gotten any time alone. I am just in awe of the magic happenings that have happened lately. I've been hosted in Amarillo, in Yellow. Kurt, he's got a gonzo tattoo on his arm, he let me crash at his apartment which he's not living in, his dog Yoyo lives in it. I hope I type this up better, I'm all stoned. So cool, I have a place to crash. I'll get a full-night's sleep and tomorrow will be a clean-up day. This apartment is trashed with all this trash. Kurt told me there might be a tape recorder around here somewhere. I really need one. Maybe I'll find it.
11:34pm I should really make an update. I'm all stoned. I'm really high off of my ass. Maybe I should've had them leave that dog in the room before they left. There's this mean dog growing and whining at me. I want to go to sleep. Please LOVE, protect me tonight. Please don't let that dog bite me.
12:37am I feel so fortunate. The minute they left and the dog realized they were leaving him inside with this stranger the dog started growling at me. Before they left they locked the dog up in the room, but I insisted, "Don't lock him up. Dogs love me." This one didn't though. It's been growling this whole time. Right now she went into a back room. I thought, this is my chance. I can close the door of the room that she's in. I stood up and halfway expecting the dog to lunge out at me was able to shut the door and lock her in a back room. Whatever higher power was in making that dog go away, thank you. I'm going to get my sleep now. I am grateful. What a great night I've had. I wish I could describe it more, but I've been so stoned. Welcome to Amarillo.
These guys were snorting cocaine and stuff, but they can do what they want. They offered and I politely declined. All I need is weed.
