San Antonio, TX

Wednesday December 8, 2004

     4:35pm  Oh yeah, another re-run of the other day. Gus is giving me another ride to the Walmart. I'm going to catch the bus downtown again and try and score me some weed.

     5:05pm  I'm on the 92. Earlier at the Walmart I was telling this old Mexican lady at the bus stop my stuff. She had asked me, "Do you work?" I told her that my job didn't pay me money. That I worked for free. Then this other Mexican heard me telling her my stuff and says, "Oh, you are thinking intellectually. You have to think spiritually." I told him my story on the bus and he ended up recognizing me. He all asked me, "Where's your staff?" He told me he had met me earlier this year, back when the buses still went to Mystic Park in front of the HEB on Guilbeau. He told me, "You were doing it then. It looks like you are still doing it."

     5:35pm  I ran into Teo on the bus. I don't remember him, but I told him I could look him up(3-26-04, 5:40pm). He had gotten on the 92 over by Sam's apartments. He saw me and goes, "Hey, I remember you. Where's your walking stick?" I asked him, "Where's the weed at?" He said he had some at his apartment, so we got off the bus to go back to his place. He was telling me how he lived with a girlfriend now. He said she was this white girl who got him away from drugs and stuff. Cool, I didn't have to go downtown. 

     5:49pm  It's so awesome that I ran into this Teo guy. What great synchronicity. When I got off the 610 at the hospital I was like, "Shit, do I want to catch the 91 or 92?" The 92 takes longer to get downtown. I said, "Screw it, I'm going to smoke a cigarette." The 92 was still around when I finished my cigarette, so I got on it. A little later, bam, I run into this kid. We're at Sam's apartments right now. Santa Fe Place. We're going to go to Teo's apartment and we're going to smoke some weed. That was the whole reason I was going downtown anyway, to get some weed.

     7:30pm  I had a good time smoking weed at Teo and Ashley's. They invited me over this next Saturday night. We'll smoke some weed and party out. I'm going to walk over to Sam's and see if he'll cook me dinner, hehe.

                   Oh yeah, Ashley finally came home from work. She works at McDonald's downtown. When she opened the door I turned around and saw this pretty girl and I said, "Cool." Then within no-time Teo's tells her to cook him some dinner. I told Teo, "Man, she doesn't have to. Make it yourself." Ashley had started making him some food and I tell her, "You shouldn't have to do this. You just got home from work." She told me, "Well, that's not how it works here." I told her, "You need to be free in your own house." She repeated herself, "That's not how it works here." I told her, "Well, you need to demand it." She all said, "You don't know him." I told her, "Anyone can learn." Ashley told me, "Well, why don't you teach him?" I told her, "I will try." Then later on I noticed that she got all mad at him when he was telling her to do stuff again. When me and Teo were leaving to go use the phone at the gas station, right before I exit the apartment I tell her, "Goodbye Ashley. And I'm proud of you. You deserve it." She smiled real big.

                   Later, after she left for work I was talking to Teo. I started lecturing him. I told him, "Hey man, she shouldn't have to make you food on demand. If she chooses to help you, don't look like you expect it." Teo said that I was like his only friend. He said he had never let anyone else in his apartment before.

                   I hope he did learn something from me.

Next day..
