Celina, OH
Thursday July 17, 2008
7:31am I woke up at seven this morning. I got seven hours of sleep. Everybody is still asleep. I'm going to go outside and smoke a cigarette.
7:54am I had a good morning session. I am all out of weed, but I was able to scrape a nice little resin ball out of my little weed tin. Sean made me a huge plate of eggs last night. I ws so full. Welcome to Rockford, Victor. Right now I'm sitting on their front porch in their wooden glider. At Franklin Street and Pearl Street.
8:27am I had an awesome presentation with Mike, Sean's father. I had noticed these dead branches everywhere and I took it upon myself to clean it up. I had the greatest presentation with him. I only told him the important part of the Odyssey. I asked him to do my the two favors.
Mike just left. He came up to me and shook my hand and said, "Thanks for telling me your story." The Berne family.
11:27am Sean is driving me into Celina. I was able to call my mom at his house and she's going to mail me a care-package with a digital camera and eighty bucks for a new pair of boots. I'm going to call Echo today and see if she'll send me some money too. Yeah right.
12:04pm I just got dropped off my Sean at the shelterhouse. There's nobody there, so I'm walking into town. I'll go to the Marathon and refill my ice water.
12:53pm I just spat my story out to Lauren. Pretty girl, I took her picture. In front of the movie theater.
1:01pm Hell yeah, Lauren just came up to me and handed me a brand new one liter bottle of drinking water and said, "Here's for my appreciation for what you're doing." Nice.
1:21pm I just hit up the kid at Family Video for my story, but he was busy working. He took the website. Anyway, I'm going to walk to, wait, there's a Caretta Mexican Restaurant. I'm going to eat, sweet. I walked off down some random street, because Main Street is too loud to tell my story. It's also Highway 127 so there's 18 wheelers going by too. Hmm, there's a tobacco store. Maybe there's somebody to tell my story to in there.
1:28pm I went into Cow Bob's Discount Tobacco, but they were busy too. They took the website. I am kind of hungry now, so I'm going to go hit up La Caretta.
1:32pm The "manager's not here," but I think they're going to give me some tortilla chips or something. I told them, "Whatever. I'm hungry. It doesn't matter."
2:21pm I forgot to tell you. I came over to the shelterhouse again and there were lots of kids. I saw the dude with the pink hair again. What was your name again? Dylan. I told him my story yesterday. John, Ethan and Jack too. Oh yeah, when I first got here I said, "Anybody got any weed??" Jack just hooked me up with some weed, hell yeah. Thanks for turning the peace machine on. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot.
3:08pm I am leaving from the shelterhouse. The clacking from the skateboard was getting on my nerves. Right now I'm going to go find me a Western Union place so Echo can wire me some money.
3:33pm Larry Highly hooked me up with some food on Main Street. Country style ribs, hell yeah, man.
4:37pm I had an awesome presentation with the girl working at the Ohio Cash Advance place. I told her my whole Odyssey. For some strange reason Echo wanted me to call her at four twenty, so I told her my story until then. I called at four twenty, but nobody answered. I got to finish my story and I tried again. Her daughter answered, but she was all dry with me. I asked her if Echo was there and she said no real quick. I asked her if she knew when she would be back and she no quick again. Like if maybe Echo was there all along. I probably shouldn't get my hopes up that Echo is going to be good on her word and send me money. She's a wingnut. I forgot.
7:16pm I should make an update. I met this dude Justin at the shelterhouse. We walked over and hung out on some guys porch. I thought I was going to be able to stash my bags at his house so we walked all the way over there. He lived far, over by the highschool. We watched Rambo. His mom got there and said we had to go, so we're walking back. What a big waste of time. At least I got some good exercise.
7:33pm We stopped for a smokebreak in the shade by this church. We're walking now.
7:50pm I forgot to tell you. Earlier I got a hold of Echo and talked to her. She didn't mention the money at all. She kept asking me when was I going to come down to Florida again. Forget Echo. She's just too obsessive. She's such a cute girl though. She's beautiful. She's Echo.
9:14pm Oh yeah, they're letting me another free movie. At ten 'o clock.
9:30pm The greedy asses at the Burger King told me no.
She told me no right away. "Everybody gets credit," I yelled at her. I was just testing you, anyway. Greed shall be your downfall.
10:21pm I am having the most awesome presentation with these three girls in front of the movie theater. I'm glad I made the right choice. My movie was supposed to start at ten, remember? They were going to hook me up again. I was going to watch Wanted or something. These three girls walked by and I hit them up for my story. They listened to me like crazy. See, there's a big Batman movie being released tonight at midnight. I thought I'd wait and watch that one, assuming they would let me see that one for free too. I found out they wouldn't. Ahh, should I stay and watch another movie? Ahh, I've got until midnight to tell these girls some more stories. They let me stash my stuff behind the counter so I could walk around free. Andria, Kim and Jes. Ages? Andria's 18, Kim is 18 and Jes is 19. Jes said she would cover me for Batman tonight, that's awesome. I appreciate it. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot. I'll pay you back by saving the world. Sounds fair?
11:44pm I am sitting here inside the movie theater about to watch the movie with everybody else. There was a big crowd of people outside the movie theater. This was like a big event.
Okay, I'm typing this from memory. Before the movie started we went to Sonic and they bought me a slush and we went back to the theater to wait. Since the Batman movie was a midnight showing, I ended up falling asleep through the whole entire thing. After the movie I asked them, "Do any of you have a garage or back yard I can crash in?" Jes told me, "My mom won't be home for a couple days. You can camp in my yard. So we dropped off her friends and drove out to Fort Redemption, where Jes lives. Her family lives in a big house in the country. Her mom is a pilot and I forgot what her dad does. We drive to her house and she tells me that it smells like shit outside, that I could crash on the living room couch. I hung out with Jes and told her some more stories. I even showed her the leaf blower video. She had already seen Free Hugs. Anyway, the next day I end up in jail. Here's the stuff I wrote down:
