7:01am I woke up around 6:30 this morning.
10:35am I didn't tell you. My mom said she would give me a ride to the plasma place and I was sure to remind her there was a taqueria right next to it. My dear mother is buying me some food before I go donate plasma.
11:12am I got stuck at the plasma place.
12:19pm Unstuck.
12:22pm Coming out of the plasma place. I'm going to walk to Crossroads Mall and catch the 609 out to Parkwood to Ruben's house.
What was I thinking? The 609 doesn't go to Crossroads.
12:35pm I came to Santa Fe and knocked on Lorenzo's door. He wasn't home, so I'm leaving. Screw Santa Fe. I don't want to hang out with anybody else here. Just Lorenzo.
12:46pm I'm right behind the bus stop at Santa Fe. Well, at first I thought I was going to lie down in the grass and take a nap. I switched out my worn tennis ball and left it close to the bus stop so people can see it. I took a hit of weed. I'm all stoned. I'm waiting for the bus. I'm going to ask for a courtesy ride. If I don't get one I should at least be able to see what the letter of the day is. Hopefully I'll have a good transfer in my stash. Or maybe I'll just walk to Crossroads. I don't want to walk to Crossroads. I need to get to the hospital and catch the 609 from there.
12:48pm The letter of the day is I.
Sweet, I got an I transfer. Free ride.
12:56pm Got on the 92 with a decoy transfer.
12:58pm Trey hooked me up with a quarter on the bus so I can get a transfer. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
1:30pm I'm at the hospital. Plot thickens. I have to wait until 2:05 to catch the 606 back to the Walmart on Mainland. Then I have to catch the 605 from there. The 609 doesn't come to the hospital anymore. Umm, it doesn't go to UTSA either. It doesn't go down Cedar Park anymore, through Parkwood, Ruben's neighborhood. The 605 doesn't even go to the hospital anymore either. I can wait until 2:05 to catch the 606 back to the Walmart and catch the 605 to Ruben's. The 605 is the one that goes to UTSA now. Hmm, I just might hike to Parkwood through Leon Creek from the Walmart.
1:48pm I had a great presentation with this black dude sitting here. He listened to and agreed with every thing I said. When his bus, the 534 came he asked me, "You don't have a card?" I told him, "Nah, you'll hear about it."
1:49pm Justin hooked me up with a cigarette at the hospital. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.
1:55pm What was your name again, brother? I'm talking to Justin, the guy I got the cigarette from. What was your email? jaycardwell@sprintpcs.com It might be jcardwell@sprintpcs.com.
2:35pm I just got off the 606 at the Walmart on Mainland. The 605 was sitting there waiting. I asked the 606 guy if he would hook me up with a transfer and he didn't. I got off the bus and accidentally left my stick on it. I went back on the bus and got it and by the time I came out again the 605 had taken off. I said screw it, I guess I'm going to walk the creek all the way to Parkwood.
2:54pm I stopped at Snarlwood and smoked a cigarette and took a hit of weed. I'm going to show up all stoned at Ruben's house. I'm going to keep my marijuana strobe pin on too. Even though the batteries are dead. I wish they weren't. I would turn it on.
It's burning up right now. It's hot as hell. My guess is like 102 or something.
I really shouldn't be walking in this weather after donating plasma.
3:16pm I just walked to the pavillion at the top of the cliffs. I'm going to get some water.
Oh yeah, on the bus on the way over to the Walmart, I kind of freaked this one girl out. I didn't know she had a speech impediment. She was giving me the right cues to keep going with my story. Once I realized she had a speech impediment, I stopped and told her I was sorry for freaking her out.
3:29pm I ended up on Belga Street. I cut through the park. I took a right hand turned after the paved path I was on with houses on the right. I took the service road. It's hot. Hmm, I need to be going North, not West.
3:37pm This sucks. I ended up hitting Bandera. I'm going to walk through this big field right here.
3:43pm Cool, I came up to a creek-bed. I'm going to scan for fossils.
3:48pm I found me an awesome little lake out here.
3:52pm Holy shit! I saw a bigass snake! It scared the shit out of me! I need to get out of these woods.
3:58pm Eureka! I jumped over this barbwire fence and I'm finally on Prue. Whoa, they just opened up this brand new street here called Kyle Seal Parkway.
4:05pm I walked up Prue to Cedar Park, turning left. Entering Parkwood.
4:26pm Walked to where Cedar Park turns into Huntsman. I'm almost there.
5:05pm I have to make an update. About ten minutes ago I bought my stick. At first I went to Ruben's and we went in his garage. I didn't like how any of them looked. Like they were real pointy at the bottom. Then I remembered when I first bought my old one it was real pointy at the bottom too before I wore it down. I chose the best one he had, I think. It's made out of pear tree wood. It's a lot lighter. He told me it was stronger than cedar. I got me a new stick. Ruben charged me thirty dollars. It was cool, I walked a couple blocks with two walking sticks. I bet I looked real crazy. I walked all the way to Maple Park. I'm going to sit down in the grass and take the corded handle off my old one and transfer it to the new one. My tennis ball too.
Oh yeah, I had called my mom from Ruben's and she's going to come pick me up.
5:32pm Cool, there's my mom.
12:17am I am really liking my new stick a lot. It's so much cooler after I put the handle and tennis ball on it. I wish I had a picture so I could take a camera. Hehe, you know what I mean. It's five feet tall, like my other one used to be. It's a lot thicker too. It's hard to believe that it's lighter than my old one.
