6:37am I woke up in the back of Carlos'. I'm walking to the bus stop now.
6:42am There's the 604. Right when I got to the bus stop it came. Perfect, man.
6:57am I got off at the hospital. I'm going to be in time to meet Connie. She's always here at 7:30 to catch the 610. I'm going to say hi.
Hope she has some weed.
7:08am I'm at University Hospital. Oh yeah, last night, I forgot to tell you. I went to Carlos' back yard thinking I was going to sleep on the cold pavement of his back porch. He had a cot out there! Like an army bed. I got a bed last night! It was awesome. Like he put it back there for me, or something. I slept real good. Actually, I didn't sleep so good. I only got two hours. Here I am in the morning. Let's see if Connie shows up at 7:30. Brrr, it's cold.
I want a cigarette.
7:32am I'm on the 91 going downtown.
8:12am I'm downtown already. I'm going to go to the park and take a nap.
8:52am Man, I had the best time right now at the Greyhound station. Oh yeah, the cops handcuffed me and everything. Hold on, I gotta tell you about this.
I walked past the Greyhound and I thought, "Ahh, I gotta go take a shit. Lemme go to the Greyhound station.." I walked in there and went towards the bathroom. This security guard, one I'd never seen before comes up to me and says, "Hey, you're criminal trespassing. Come with me." He said, "Give me your stick." I told him, "No, it's my stick! I don't have to give it to you." I told him, "Man, do you got nothing better to do?" He tells me, "Do you have nothing better to do than to come in here when you're not supposed to?" "You can't do shit to me. Call the cops. It's show-time," I told him. I told him, "Show me your badge." He all pointed to the one on his chest. I told him, "That's not a real badge, you stupid rent-a-cop." I told him, "Okay, pay me attention. Do exactly what I want you to. I have you tied around my little finger." I tried telling them about my 1-4-04 incident when they stole my knife. I filed a police report and everything. They called SAPD. This Moron cop. Umm, Moron with an accent on the o. He came. Dude, they even let me keep my pinch hitter pipe. Moron took me around the corner and put handcuffs on me. Then he drove me around the corner and let me out of the car. He gave me all my stuff back. He was all, "Never go back there again." I told him, "Alright, I won't." Then he said, "And don't be telling me any of that crazy stuff." I told him, "It's nothing but the truth, man."
Like I say, my name ain't Victor for nothing.
That piglet all came up to me and told me to give him my stick. I told him, "That's my stick." He said, "No, that's a weapon." I told him, "No, it's my walking stick. What do you think that compass on top is for? Who the hell do you think you are?" He told me he was a cop. I said, "Okay, show me your badge." He was all, "Who do you think you are coming here?!" I told him, "I am only an avid Greyhound bus rider. Want to see all my old bus tickets? I am allowed to be here."
Oh yeah, and that piglet was giving me all this bullshit about this little knife I got in Arcata for a dollar. He told me, "That's one of those lock-blades. Those are illegal." I told him, "That's bullshit. I've had cops give it back to me."
C19-JHS stopped and let me cross. Nice guy.
The piglet was all, "You know you're not supposed to have those, right? You're going to get rid of it, right?" I told him, "Well why don't you take it from me if it's illegal." I just laughed and played along. "Shyeah, I'm going to get rid of it." Wink, wink.
Dumbass.
Oh yeah, the only thing weed-related I had was my one-hitter pipe. My pinch-hitter. My bat. The minute they took that out I said, "Hey, I paid taxes on that pipe. I bought that fair and square." They let me have it back, haha.
9:21am Chris hooked me up with a cigarette in front of Travis Park. He works at McDonald's. I appreciate it, brother.
9:40am Deena hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, Deena. She gave me one last time, right. I gotta look her up(1-24-04, 4:23am).
9:57am Adam listened to my story and he hooked me up with some spare change for a joint. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.
I had a badass presentation with that guy who gave me change for a joint. He told me, "I'll remember you. What's your name?" I told him, "Victor Antonio from San Antonio."
When he had seen me he asked me, "What are you doing with that stick?" I told him, "I'll tell you if you'll listen."
10:10am Beavis hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, man.
He gave me another cigarette out of the blue. I didn't even ask for it. I appreciate it, brother.
10:19am Lewis is recommending I read a book called The Alchemist. It's Brazilian, you said? I'll find it on the Internet.
Look for a book called By the River I Sat and Wept.
Everybody check that out. It's a fairy tale about people being on a personal legend. Much like I am doing.
Ian just gave me some weed for my one-hitter. I appreciate it, brother.
10:32am I just told this black guy my story. He's in the Marines. He was all saying, "We gotta blow them all up." I told him, "Nobody needs to die, man. Absolutely nobody." I gave him my introduction and he said, "Man, you've already introduced yourself three times. You don't remember?" He said at the Crossroads Park and Ride and here and there. I told him, "I'm everywhere. I've got a full-time job."
11:05am This crackwhore-lookin' lady walked up. She had asked me earlier if I did any Valium. I told her, "I don't do drugs. I smoke weed." She was wearing a cool shirt. I told her, "Hey, I like your shirt. I want it." Just kidding around I told her, "Take it off." She lifted up her shirt and flashed me. Crackwhore.
11:24am Flaco rolled us up a really fat joint. Me and Phase are puffing on it here in Travis Park.
12:00pm I give Phase mad-props for his flow. I wish I could do that.
Off 'tha brain.
12:48pm I am leaving the library. I haven't made an update in a while. I don't remember what happened. I checked my email. Jordan never responded.
1:00pm I am back in Travis Park.
1:05pm Mike's hooking me up with a cigarette at Travis Park. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit in my game.
1:11pm I jumped on the #3. For some reason. I got a pass.
1:49pm I rode the #3 all the way to North Central. I'm over here by 281.
I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I just jumped on any bus that came. The 602 pulled up and I looked at the map on the schedule. The 607 came and his route looked more interesting. I'm going to jump on that one. It leaves in eight minutes. Let's see where I end up.
2:11pm I am at North Star Mall.
2:48pm I'm at the hospital again. University Hospital.
Oh yeah, I saw CJ, Crazy Jeff. He offered to get me a beer.
3:00pm I have to wait until 3:30 for the bus. 610.
Lydia hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, Lydia. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
4:05pm I just got off by the Citgo. I'm going to smoke a cigarette.
Oh yeah, I just bought a pack of cigarettes for these minors. The guy only charged me three dollars for them.
4:13pm That was badass. These two kids came up to me and asked me to buy them cigarettes. I said sure, if I could bum one. They hooked me up with one. Oh, when I went to the cashier, who I've told my story to before, this Arabian guy, he told me, "Ahh, I'm only going to charge you three dollars for them." Sweet, the kids gave me two.
4:19pm I'm walking home.
6:07pm I'm going to crash already. My feet hurt.
