Sunday December 28, 2008

     6:00am  I woke up about ten minutes ago with nine hours of sleep.

     8:37am  Ahh, I spent a long relaxing morning in my tree this morning. I let the sun come up and didn’t care if I got seen. I’m all stoned. I undertook the project of sewing my bag. See, I was sure to get that worn WPTMJ shirt back from Lorenzo because he didn’t deserve it because he can’t walk the walk. Then last night I was layering up and I accidentally ripped a hole in the shirt when I was taking it off. So this morning I got the idea to cut out the phrase and sew it on my bag. That way I could fly my bag with my message on it. World peace through marijuana.

     8:47am  I have emerged from the tree. I’m going to go to State Street and fly my bag. It’s going to be dead today. It’s Sunday.

     9:12am  I came over in front of the Borders and Brian came up and volunteered me a cinnamon roll. I appreciate it, brother.

     9:53am  I am settled in on the bus. The Vista bus is actually running. I am headed back to Ventura. I’m going to go research this IV place from the Ventura library. I am more comfortable there than in Santa Barbara. I don’t know what I’m going to do.

     10:39am  Ventura.

     1:35pm  I have secured my post in front of the mission. I just stopped to smoke. I took a picture of my new bag with WPTMJ sewed onto it. I am wearing my Thank You For Pot Smoking shirt. Great combo. I’ve got my bag standing in plain view with my Support the Cause sign on the ground.

     2:48pm  Bill just hooked me up with five dollars for the cause. Everybody gets credit, man. Thanks a lot.

     3:03pm  Michael me dio cambio para la causa.

     3:34pm  Shandra just walked out of Jersey Mike’s Subs and offered me some food.

     4:10pm  I spent a long time spreading the word in front of American Apparel. In front of the Thai food place. My setup has evolved with my pack and signs. I went to the park and bought a nickel sack off of Shauna. I’ve got a little bit of weed, so cool.

     7:00pm  Johnny hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the movie theatre. I appreciate it, brother.

     7:25pm  Tyler hooked me up with a cigarette in front of the movie theatre.

     8:13pm  I was standing in front of the movie theatre flying my bag and these ignorant kids wouldn’t listen to me at all. Then Dan-O walked by and invited me to smoke, sweet. Dan-O: “Victor, we are going to go to the Aloha Steakhouse and smoke some hash my friend just made.
                  
     9:50pm  I should make an update. I got magically transported. Dan-O walked by and invited me to smoke. I went with him and he said he was going to let me crash in his RV at his mom’s house, in the driveway. That’s just awesome. I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow though. I’ll take pictures.
                    
     10:30pm  Dude, I got treated like royalty tonight. Just a random encounter in front of the movie theatres. Dan-O just walked by and read my Support the Cause sign. He hooked me up. I always feel guilty because I never feel like I elaborate as much as I should, you can just imagine all the cool shit that happens to me in the places I go. If I leave a lot of stuff out and anyone has a problem they can always email me and I’ll add it in.

                      Actually, I have every right not too elaborate as much and just enjoy myself. I am having fun living this dream.

                     Oh yeah, I’m on the East side of town. Did I mention I did my laundry today?

 

Next day..
