Friday December 7, 2007

     11:01am  I forgot to tell you. My mom left me seven bucks. She's going to be gone for the weekend. I got five dollars for weed. And I'm almost done smoking the ten dollars I spent at Bo's last night. That stuff is so cherry. I had walked all the way to the Church's to catch the bus. I went to take a hit of weed and realized I left my one-hitter at home. Ahh, gotta go back. Mission critical. So I've already put in a mile today. I'm going to catch the bus from here at 11:09am.

     11:26am  Ish the Fish. I got to the Walmart and this kid recognized me and came up to me. He told me, "I have a shirt for you." He hooked me up with this badass green Anti-Bush shirt that has his face made out of little Liars. Dude, I have so been equipped for today's sign flying. I was wearing my Make It Happen shirt.

     11:47am  Ishmael, Ish the fish. I love that book. Be sure to download Smoke Pot First Then Read This Book.

     11:56am  I just got to the Medical Center. I showed Ishmael all my pictures. Ish told me, "You never cease to amaze me."  He took a picture of me with my new shirt.  Oh yeah, at the Walmart I found a James Avery ring on the ground. It has a crucifix. I wonder how much I can get for it at a pawn shop? Marijuana money.

     12:34pm  I just got off on Fredericksburg and 410 again. There's a bum on the Medical Center side. I've got my Balcones Height's side pristine and untouched. There's a lot of traffic. I'm going to spread the word. I'll do my thing here for a while then I'm going to walk downtown. It's Friday.

     12:42pm  Ha, this SAPD cop just stopped and said, "What are you doing? Causing a traffic jam?" I told him, "The stoplight does that for me." I told him I was a journalist and I handed him my website and everything. He smiled and told me to continue with my protest and drove off. "Drive carefully, officer."

     12:48pm  Another SAPD cop showed up. Showtime. I'm not doing nothing wrong. You ain't got shit on me, copper. I'm just exercising my freedoms.

                     Umm, aren't you out of your jurisdiction, anyway? This is Balcones Heights.

                     The second cop told me, "You talked to my partner, right?" I told him, "Yeah, he gave me clearance." He said, "I just saw you run across the street to get some money." I said, "No, you didn't. I was giving somebody my website." He's sitting in his car and it looks like he's writing out a ticket. I don't know. He's sitting there in his car and all the traffic is lined up at the light and I am still proudly displaying my WORLD PEACE THROUGH MARIJUANA sign and giving my website away. I was even yelling at people who ignored me calling them ignorant and good little slaves. I got me a police-escort today, hehe. I handed my site to this dude and he said, "Man, you got some balls."

     12:56pm  I just got a warning ticket for running across the street. He told me I could continue my protest, but that I could only give my website to people who were in the turning lane. That I couldn't walk in front of any cars. He assured me I didn't have to do anything about the warning ticket. I told him, "I understand. Document me, please." He ended up being all nice to me.

     1:17pm  I've started walking downtown. Don't you see how all the hopping around this morning was all meant to happen? I was equipped with yet another badass Anti Bush shirt.

                    Hell yeah, I was walking down Fredericksburg and these kids pull over in a car and ask me if they can take my picture.

                    I'm walking downtown. I'm going to The Riverwalk. Fuck it, man. I am fearless.

                    Cool, I had a little smokebreak in the shade with the window tint guys. Oh, I didn't tell you. I'm walking downtown holding my sign so everyone can see. They saw my sign and called me over and I hung out in the shade. This one cool dude ended up hooking me up with a couple bucks.

                    Man, everybody is taking pictures of me. Document me, please.

     2:45pm  I was walking and all of a sudden these dudes pull over. They saw my sign and pulled up and smoked a blunt with me! I appreciate it, guys. These dudes even sold me a nickel!

     3:17pm  I walked San Pedro to this stoplight right before I10. All the cars were backed up so I pulled out my sign and flew it in front of the bus stop. I am having the best time in the world. I have this big shitfaced grin on my face.

     3:41pm  I walked in front of Fox Tech High School holding my WPTMJ sign. I walked by and this big group of kids saw me and they all started clapping! I bowed and gave them my website.

     3:58pm  Hell yeah, I just got down to The Riverwalk. I'm getting the greatest reaction from the tourists in the river boats. People are taking my picture left and right.

                   Yet another picture of my statue.

                   Some girl who showed her crack on The Riverwalk.

     7:02pm  I just left Pete Carrasco's apartment. Some dude I met on the bus who offered to smoke me out. He lives in those apartments on Bluemel and Fred. The ones that a cop got shot in a while back. It has yet another name. Portofino now.

     7:43pm  I walked Fred all the way to Huebner and Max hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the Jack in the Box. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, man. Thanks.

     7:58pm  I walked over to West Telemarketing. Right when I got to the parking lot I ran into Daniel, this dude I smoked out with a long time ago. I had told him my story a long time ago. Some guy walking down my mom's street. It was around Christmas time. Anyway, he sold me some weed.
                  
     8:27pm  Hmm, I got some options tonight. I thought maybe I'd go hang out at the Jim's, but I don't have any money. Oh yeah, I ran into that guy I met a long time ago and he was able to sell me a dimebag. I was going to go to Jim's and hang out there and tell my story. Then I thought I'm not that far from Eckhert and Huebner, where I hung out the other night. I can see if Josh is working tonight. I'll hang out there and tell my story and then I'll walk home from there. The night is still young. My mom is gone for the weekend so I can go home whenever I want.

                   I'm walking every single day. I am proud of myself.

     9:10pm  I just walked Huebner to Babcock. I'm going to keep going to Eckhert.

                   Some dude I told my story to at the gas station.

     10:45pm  I forgot to tell you. I am already home. I totally manifested getting here. From West I decided I was going to walk to that gas station I hung out the other night where Josh works. Sure enough, I went there. He wasn't there, but his friend works there and she called him up and he showed up and ended up giving me a ride all the way back to my mom's house! He came inside and I burned some South Park episodes for him and he took them to his friend's. Anyway, I am back home. Man, what a roller coaster I had today. I am so proud of myself. I really went out there and put the word out.

Next day..
