Wednesday October 14, 2009

 

     7:26am  I just woke up in the woods.  I got enough sleep, I guess.  About seven hours. 

 

     8:21am  All packed up and ready to go.  I stared at the sun a little bit as it was coming up.  I should start doing that some more, solar healing.  

 

                  I crashed in the woods at the end of 6^th Street. 

 

     8:59am  I just got out of the Circle N.  I took a shit in their bathroom. 

 

     9:03am  I walked back to the bus station.  Leena is working.  She saw me and asked me what happened.  I told her the bus was full.  I’m going to go hit up La Rosita Café right behind the bus station, another taqueria.  Let’s see what they tell me.  Mi Casita from last night.

 

     9:08am La gente amable en Rosita’s Café me estan dando comida.  Todo el mundo recibe credito, gracias. 

 

     9:30am  I came back to the bus station and ate my breakfast taco.  I’m going to walk down the street and look for tobacco. 

                   

     10:13am  I walked up to the Town and Country Motel and the bitch ran me off for digging through her smoking posts.  She walked up to me and asked me, “Can I help you?”   I should’ve told her, “Yeah, will you look through those over there for me?”   I told her I didn’t need any help going through her ashtrays.  I could do it just fine by myself.  She got all mad and yelled at me to get off of her property.  Good little slave.  Be afraid, I told her.

 

                    I’m going to go ask the Pizza Hut if they make mistakes.  Wait, it opens at eleven.

 

                    I’m doing a major snipehunt.  I walked all the way to the Walmart.  On the way here I noticed a Pepito’s Mexican Restaurant.  I’m going to go hit them up. 

 

                    The sign on the bank says it’s ninety nine degrees outside. 

 

                    I came to the Phillips 66, the Town and Country.  I’m going to go fill up my bag with ice.  I see Pepito’s Café coming up too. 

 

     10:37am  I’m going to go hit up Pepito’s. 

 

                    La gente amable en Pepito’s me estan dando comida.

 

                    Sweet, called that.  I’m three for three in this town.

 

     10:41am  Belen en Pepito’s me estand dando comida.  Te lo agredesco, señora.  Todo el mundo recibe credito, gracias. 

 

                    Efrain Acosta me dio cinco dolares.  Te lo agredesco, señor.  Todo el mundo recibe credito, gracias.

 

                    Sweet, as I was leaving with burrito in tow some guy who was in there and had seen me ask volunteered me five dollars.  “¿Tienes feria?”

 

     10:49am  Back at the bus station.  That was a pretty productive walk.  I got tobacco, food and five dollars, how perfect.

 

     11:57am  The bus to San Antonio just pulled up.  There’s a half hour layover here.  Everybody got off the bus to smoke cigarettes. 

 

     12:25pm  I’m about to get on the bus.  Oh shit, I almost forgot my walking stick. 

 

     12:36pm  I’ve boarded the bus and am about to leave.  ETA to San Antonio 6 hours.  I’m going home.

 

                    I totally forgot to mention that we stopped in Junction for ten minutes.  I’ve been here before.  It’s that one gas station I walked to right before the bus came.  I had gotten off the bus in Junction, but when nobody recognized me in the town I walked to this gas station and the bus came soon after.  I’ll put a link[6-15-07]. 

 

                    As we were driving I saw out of the window River Road.  I recognized that one closed down FINA gas station with the trialer next to it I camped in.  I’ll look that up too[11-11-08 ; 6:30pm].  No wonder it looked familiar.  I knew I had been through here before. 

 

     4:23pm  Leaving Junction.

 

     4:34pm  We just passed the Segovia truckstop.  I remember walking up to that truckstop and getting hooked up with a burger right when I walked in[6-16-05 ; 12:49pm].

 

     5:27pm  We’re leaving from Kerrville.  We just took a pause here.  No smoking. 

                 

     6:56pm  We just passed through the San Antonio city limits!  I have returned.  Man, San Antonio has blown up this year I’ve been gone.  It’s packed with stores.  The humans are invading.

 

                  Just passing Loop 1604, almost there.  It’s just ominous how San Antonio has grown this past year.  It’s kind of scary.  The humans are invading. 

 

                  I just got off the bus in Downtown San Antonio!  Hell yeah.  I’m going to go to Travis Park and try and get some weed.

 

     7:06pm  Just like good old times.  I got off the Greyhound, went to Travis Park and bought a two-dollar joint and I sat down on a bench and smoked it.  I am stoned.  Victor Antonio from San Antonio is back home.  I’m going to catch the 88 to Walmart then ride the bus and walk my brand new sidewalk home. 

 

     7:18pm  This dumbass bible thumper walked by me and was praise Jesus this and that.  I tried to tell him my story, but he wouldn’t shut up!  Man, NOBODY wants world peace!  Have you always been that ignorant?  I was just testing you.

 

                  See, I was all stoned and wanted to tell somebody my story.  He walked by me and asked how’s it going and I told him I was the happiest man in the world.  I asked him if I could tell him my story, but this guy was so ignorant he didn’t even let me get to the part where I ask him it he’s willing to listen.  He looks at my shirt and says, “Marijuana causes cancer.”  Goes to show how much you know, you crazy Christian.  Man, nobody wants world peace.

 

     7:20pm  I just got on the 88.  Listener.  The nice driver gave me a courtesy ride.  When it pulled up I got on and asked the driver, “Can I please get a courtesy ride.  I’ve been gone for a whole year.  I haven’t seen my mom in a whole year.  I just got off the Greyhound.”  At first he got this attitude and said, “I gave you one last time.”  I asked him, “When, last year?”  He let me on.  I appreciate it, brother.  Everybody gets credit. 

 

                  I’m reading this Albert Einstein book, Ideas and Opinions that Joe gave me in Gardiner[9-29-09].  I’m thinking Einstein had this big IQ and was all smart, but he still believed in money and government and economics.  He even supports a world government.

 

                  Haha, saw a funny marquee.  “Energizer Bunny Arrested – Charged With Battery.” 

 

     8:00pm  I just got off at the Walmart.  I’m going to catch the next bus if he gives me a courtesy ride.  I’ll tell him I’ll walk it if I have to.

 

                  I just walked in the Walmart and they have an arcade in it now.  That’s cool. 

 

                  I’m doing my old ritual, going in and buying a burger at the McDonald’s.

 

                  Look up about the pyramids on the bottom of the ocean, in the Carribean.

 

     8:31pm  Jose is hooking me up with busfare.  I appreciate it, brother.  The driver wouldn’t give me a courtesy ride, but Joe had my back.

 

     8:46pm  I just got off at the Citgo.  Hell yeah, I’m back.  I’m going to walk my sidewalk all the way home.  I’m going to surprise my mom.  I got recognized quick when I got to the park earlier.  People’s eyes were glued to me when I walked in the Walmart. I walked in with all my gear on. 

 

                  This is a badass sidewalk.  It’s going to make the walk to the bus stop so much quicker now. 

 

     8:57pm  Walking up to my mom’s house. 

     12:00am  I’ve got all my stuff washing.  I’m going to go to bed.  I had a nice welcome home at my mom’s.  The house is upside down, but not that bad.  I’ll start cleaning it tomorrow.

Next day..
