Truth or Consequences, NM
Tuesday November 18, 2008
6:25am I woke up around five thirty or so with six hours of sleep. I don't feel like going back to sleep. I woke up because it's cold. I thought I had to take a bigger shit than I did. I ate a big bag of trailmix and a chocolate cream pie. Nott that anybody cares. I'm all high. Right now I am just chilling out with my new sidekick, David, hehe. He's going to come help me save the world. Hmm, maybe I can incorporate you into my story somehow.
7:11am I just left the motel room.
7:57am I just got busted by the lady who works here for being here. David had taken off earlier to tie up some loose ends in town he has so he can take off traveling with me. We had walked to the Circle K and David gave me his key and got picked up by his boss. When I walked up to the motel I saw this lady at first, but assumed she was a tenant and walked over to the #7 door and stuck the key in. All of a sudden that that lady yells at me, "You can't stay there!" I told her I wasn't. She asked me, "Then why do you have the key?" I told her, "My friend just went to work. He gave it to me. I have my bag in there. I just got here." I introduced myself and shook her hand. I told her I was a journalist and gave her my mission objectives. This lady started spouting off stuff about Jesus. She said, "Only god can bring world peace." As soon as I said marijuana she was all, "No, no, no. I used to smoke dope and then god saved me! I can see clearly now!" So many wingnuts in this town. She told me, "Well, if I catch you staying the night then you're both out of here," and just walked away.
11:15am I woke up about fifteen minutes ago. I was hoping David would have come back by now. After I got up I went in the bathroom to make my morning deposit. I heard somebody sweeping right outside and singing Jesus songs. Eventually she rapped on the door and yelled, "Victor! I know you're in there. You gotta get your stuff and get out of here!" At least she let me sleep. I got like a three hour nap. See, since the last thing she had told me was that I figured she wouldn't care that I was there, just not to spend the night. So I had gone back to sleep.
11:48am She called the cops and everything. One of the cops was the one I started telling my story to when I first got to town. They didn't even want my ID. They just made sure I left. David's going to get kicked out too, but he only had one day left anyway. He's going to come traveling with me anyway.
12:32pm I just went across the street and unloaded my bags in the shade next to this office building next to a laundromat. I was bored waiting for David to come back and I noticed a cute young girl sitting down in front of the laundromat eating. I walked up to her and gave her my usual story solicitation. After I told her my name she offered me the slice of pizza she was eating! She hopped on down from in front of the laundromat to listen to my story. Alisha
3:03pm I forgot to tell you. I was waiting for David to come home from work and I met Alisha. I told her how I needed to do laundry and she offered me a ride! Then David finally showed up and I told him Alisha was willing to give us a ride to do laundry. He still had stuff to do with his boss, but he gave me ten bucks so I could get my laundry done. Alisha drove me to Soap N Suds and I'm here telling her my stories. Right now I'm hungry so I'm going to go hit up La Hacienda again. It's right across the street. I'm totally not in uniform because I'm doing my laundry. I've got my Make It Happen shirt on.
The greedy ass manager at La Hacienda won't sell me a taco! I walked inside and saw Christol, the girl who I told my story to yesterday. I just asked her if she could hook me up with a taco for while I do my laundry, that I was about to leave town. She was a bit cold and just turned around and walked to the back to ask the manager. I heard him ask her, "Who is it?" and she said she didn't know. I really doubt that she didn't recognize me. When the manager walked up to me I told him I wanted to buy a taco. He yelled at me, "No, we're closed!" The open sign was displayed and everything. I had even seen cars going in and out from the laundromat across the street. Man, NOBODY wants world peace! I'm hungry.
I mean, I even had an extra dive dollar bill and was hungry enough to buy one. I guess my money is no good at that place.
3:52pm My beautiful angel Alisha drove me to the grocery store. She's going to buy me some food. At the Food Basket while I was waiting for Alisha I got to tell this beautiful girl Tieva my story while she took a smokebreak. I got to the 'Wouldn't you work for free' part, but then she got called back inside to work.
4:50pm Alisha dropped me off at the Fast Stop, the Shell station. I put some ice in my bag. I was able to call David and he's going to Elephant Butte to finalize some stuff. I told him I would either be at Ralph Edwards Park or the Shell station. I went to the gas station and got bored there real quick, so I walked to the park. Alisha had bought me a thing of hummus and tortilla chips and I shared them with this little kid in the park. I walked up and unloaded and started eating chips. He immediately asked me, "What kind of chips do you got?" I even let him have the rest after I got my fill. Hummus too. Right now I'm going to walk to the Riverbend Hot Springs and see if I can get David's phone number from somebody.
5:07pm I came over to Riverbend Hot Springs, but nobody had David's phone number. I'm going to walk back to the gas station and smoke some resin.
I had a great presentation with this dude who works at Riverbend. He listened to me great.
6:35pm I have to make an update. My teammate David and I, it's official. He's tied up all loose ends in T or C and collected the money he was owed. He's going to spread his wings and fly with me. He had a good idea. We're going to go crash at the Kiva tonight. This earthship I've been to years ago. We can have a fire there. Right now we're walking to Bullock's to buy some food. Oh yeah, he got an Oscar to travel with, teehee. A whole Oscar.
Both of us
6:51pm Hell yeah, I got recognized. I just came to Bullock's to the rear entrance. I was hanging out and all of a sudden this guy goes, "It's Skywalker!" I don't remember being called that before but he was talking to me. These kids recognized me from last time I was here years ago.
10:45pm I have to recap what's happened tonight. David and I didn't know where we were going to crash since he got kicked out of the motel because of me. He had a good idea. Since we're going to take off traveling tomorrow, it's so cool that I have a teammate, he suggested we go crash in the Kiva. So that's where we came, to the Kiva. This big earthship made out of old tires. We're going to crash here tonight. I'll take pictures in the morning. Oh yeah, when we first got here we walked up to Ashley's campfire. This other guy was there banging on drums too. I tried telling them my story, but right in
the middle of it Ashley stood up and said, "I'm not going to listen to this." I was granted permission when I asked and was given it. What a fucking liar. Hippiecrite Ashley. Thanks for proving me right.
12:00am I'm going to bed in the Kiva. I am all layered up. I'm going to sleep good tonight. It's not as cold inside the Kiva.
