Ventura to Barstow, CA

Thursday October 12, 2006

     9:27am  I don't know what's going to happen with Carol. Today would have been the visiting day if she was still in Ventura, but she got moved to Barstow. I don't know what's going to happen. I should just write her a letter. I want to break up with her so bad. I've wanted to for a while now.

     9:33am  I just got to Vons. I'm going to go buy some breakfast.

     9:44am  Laurie gave me a cigarette in front of the Vons. I appreciate it, sister. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     10:42am  I went to Vons and got a donut then came to the library and checked my email. I'm going to take off and go to the pier or something. Oh yeah, I'm going to go to Catholic Charities and see where I can take a shower.
                    
     11:26am  I just got a ticket for parking facing the wrong side of the street. The small park on Chestnut. Carol's doctored insurance paper worked!

                     I would've told them my story, but then they'd probably search the car.

     11:28am  Jesse hooked me up with a cigarette in the park. I appreciate it, brother.

     1:29pm  John just hooked me up with a cigarette over by the pier. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     2:26pm  I was walking around hitting people up for my story on the oceanfront sidewalk. I asked this girl and she told me she didn't have time, that she was on her lunch break. She told me, "But there's an art gallery right there. You should go talk to them." Cool, thanks for the destination. Do you remember in Boulder when that kid told me I should go to the hammock shop on Pearl Street(8-15-04-12:06pm)? I'll look that up. I wonder if something cool is going to happen here. Like I get smoked out or maybe.

     3:00pm  I have told lots of stories today.

     6:06pm  After I told Monica and Jesse my story, Monica was a beautiful listener, her boyfriend Jesse volunteered me a dollar. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     6:27pm  I just left the pier. It got cold so I came back to the car. I'm going to go to Vons and eat. All I've eaten today was one donut I got at Vons this morning. I was telling my story like crazy today. I was blowing people's minds left and right. I love the pier. I could live here forever, hehe. Anyway, I am going to take off pretty soon. Maybe tonight. I'm going to head towards Carol, towards Barstow. I guess I can visit her there now. I kind of miss her. I'm having such a blast telling my story though.

     6:46pm  I came to Vons. I'm going to do some grocery shopping. I'm going to buy some traveling food. I'm going to go to Barstow. I don't even know exactly where Carol is.

     6:53pm  Matthew hooked me up with a menthol cigarette outside of the Vons. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     7:05pm  I am leaving Vons. I need to get some gas. I'm going to go to the Seaward Chevron and spange for gas.

     7:28pm  Miko and Amber are hooking me up with some gas money so I can go see Carol.

                    Jerry just hooked me up with forty cents of gas and a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother.

     7:46pm  Alex hooked me up with some gas at the Chevron. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     7:52pm  Robert just gave me a nice helping of gasoline for my trip South.

                    Phantom of the Paradise suggested by Jonah at the Chevron.

     8:14pm  Lisa is helping me out with some gas so I can go see Carol. I appreciate it, Lisa. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     8:20pm  Brooke just hooked me up with some change so I can get some gas. I appreciate it, Brooke. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     8:25pm  Eric is helping me out with some gas so I can go see Carol. I appreciate it, brother.

     8:34pm  Hell yeah, I got a full tank of gas! I got like ten bucks in cash too! Everybody I asked hooked me up.

     10:22pm  I didn't tell you. I drove 101 all the way to 210. I just hit 15 North going to Barstow. It was pretty close. Oh wait, I'm going to stop somewhere and get some tobacco. I got some cash.

     10:28pm  I stopped at some gas station. I don't know where I am. 15 North.

     10:37pm  This beautiful girl Kristin. What a gift. I'm going to crash out now. I got permission to crash out here in the gas station parking lot. This beautiful girl Kristin. I told her all of my stories. My whole package. Oh, man. What a beautiful girl.
                  
     1:53am  I know I should go to bed. I tried crashing in the parking lot here at the Shell. The guy inside was pretty cool. Dave, I think. Maybe Mike. Man, this girl Kristin I told all my stories to, she's beautiful. What a pretty gift for me. She listened to every one of my stories. She was all about it. She knows my website by heart too.

                   Anyway, I had been trying to throw up because I was all dizzy and I couldn't fall asleep in the car. All I had was some lemonade in my stomach. It's stupid that I threw up on purpose. I'm thinking I'm just going to drive the hour to Barstow. Oh yeah, Dave gave me an idea. At first I asked him if he knew where there was a rest-stop closeby, so I could go and crash out. He tells me, "Umm, you've got a car." I told him, "I know, but cops give people tickets here for crashing in their cars." He goes, "Not on private property. You can sleep in the parking lot." Hell yeah! So that's what I'm going to keep doing. I'm going to drive to the jail and see if Carol is there and then I'll go ask permission at a gas station. I'll tell them I'm just traveling through, can I crash in your parking lot?

Next day..
