     12:40pm  I have a big update to make. I was typing up my stuff. I'm on November already. I was typing and I realized I had my dentist appointment today, my exam at 1:30. I was like, shit. I called the Christian Dental Clinic and talked to the lady. She told me if I didn't make my appointment I was going to have to wait six months to make another one. I told her I could be there in a couple hours. I got all my stuff together and scraped a couple resin hits. I'm running to the bus stop to catch the bus on time.

                     Oh yeah, when the bus came I just had a pocket full of spare change. Like ninety one cents. I need ninety five for a transfer. I just put in all my change and he handed me a transfer. He didn't even look at how much I put in. He told me, "I haven't seen you in a while. You've been gone." I told him I'd been traveling for five months. He asked, "Where's your stick?" I told him, "Ah, I have to stay undercover so they won't assassinate me." Hehe. I'm at the Walmart right now. Maybe I'll get on the 88.

                     Juanita me dio unas galletas en el autobus. Te lo agradezco, Juanita. Todo el mundo recibe crédito, gracias.

     1:55pm  Juan Chavez esta repartiendo muchas tortillas gratis en el autobus. Te lo agradecen, señor. Todo el mundo recibe crédito.

                   When I first got on the 88 this nice Mexican lady got up and handed the bus driver a thing of cookies. She sits down and I smile at her and she hands me some too! Then, this guy who had been selling corn and flour tortillas at a stop light started asking people on the bus if they wanted some. Some guy asked, "How much?" He was just giving them away. So many people on the bus raised their hands and he willingly passed them out.

     2:30pm  I'm downtown already. I'm going to walk to the Christian Dental Clinic. I hope I'm not too late.

     2:38pm  I went outside to smoke a cigarette. I had asked the lady behind the glass, "Do I have time to smoke a cigarette?" She said, "You most probably do, but the doctor won't like it." I told her, "Well then, let's keep it between you and me." She was all, "He'll know." I just walked outside.

                   Oh yeah, outside there was this dude about my age out there smoking already. I tried to tell him my story, but he wouldn't listen to me. When I got to the part where I ask him if he'd listen he said, "Man, what am I doing right now? Standing here listening to you." I started my presentation and this guy just could not stop interrupting me. He told me he was from New York, so I knew this would be interesting. He had a bad case of that nasty East Coast Ignorance Syndrome. When he kept interrupting me I said, "You see how ignorance is the world's greatest problem now? You won't listen to me." He got all pissed off. He got all mad and was saying, "Don't be calling me ignorant!" I said, "Well, listen to me then. You're proving me right." He got all mad and said, "I don't wanna fucking listen to you." He just walked off. I told him, "You can just wait to hear about it when the rest of the world does. Ignorance is bliss."

                   I told him, "The truth hurts, I know."

     4:07pm  I just got out of that dental clinic. Man, it was a big waste of time. He just looked in my mouth and didn't tell me anything I didn't know. Oh well, I waited for nothing.

     6:05pm  I'm here in Medical Center now. Oh yeah, I forgot to get a transfer. Well, I didn't forget, I just didn't have any money. I'm going to get a transfer off some driver. Yeah, the 610 was here when I got here. I asked the driver, "Can I get a courtesy ride?" The driver said, "No way. Remember all the rides I've given you?"

     9:48pm  Oh yeah, today I went to Travis Park after the dentist and my friend David smoked me out. He hooked me up with a roach for later on. My mom took me to pig out at the Cici's buffet. We went to the dollar store and she bought me some cereal and some other stuff. I pigged out at Cici's. Anyway, last night I had asked my mom, "Hey, I have something else for you to read. Will you read it?" She had said yes, just then. After we got home from Cici's I asked her, "Will you read it now?" She did. She read the Are You a Slave to the Illusion? thing I snagged from the public library. Note From the Rich and everything. I hope it made her think. She wouldn't read the third one I wanted her to read, Anti-Money.

Next day..
