SOME OF THE CARS WERE VERY COOL,
SOME OF THEM, NOT QUITE SO COOL.
5:30 AM PULL OUT OF OTTER POINT AND HEAD FOR THE FERRY TO VANCOUVER. GET ON THE FERRY AND GO TO SLEEP IN THE CAR.
ARRIVE IN DELTA AND DRIVE TO VANCOUVER DELIVERING A COUPLE WEEKS WORK.
GO TO ONE OF MY USUAL SLEEPING SPOTS, PARK AND HAVE ANOTHER SLEEP. I COULD BE UP FOR FOUR HOURS AFTER THE MULTIPLE SLEEPS UNTIL I HAD TO SLEEP AGAIN.
I GOT A TAKE OUT, FROM THE GLUTEN RESTAURANT ON HASTINGS STREET OR I ATE AT THE ONLY SEAFOOD OR THE GREEN DOOR, ALL LOCATED DOWNTOWN IN VANCOUVER.
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS PLACES I COULD GO TO AND MAKE COFFEE AND HAVE SOME MARIJUANA. THEN I WOULD FIND MYSELF A SATURDAY AFTERNOON SHOWCASE OR PROFESSIONAL'S JAM SESSION WHERE THOSE OF US WHO DID NOT GET TO PARTICIPATE ANY OTHER WAY GOT IN OUR LIVE ROCK MUSIC PRACTICE WITH OTHER MUSICIANS ON A STAGE WITH AN AUDIENCE.
MOST OF THE TIME I HAD NOWHERE TO STAY. WHEN MY AUNT WAS AWAY, WHEN I HAD A ROOM TO USE, RARELY, I HAD SOMEWHERE TO SLEEP SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. MUSIC CAN GO ON LATE AT NIGHT AT DIFFERENT PLACES SO IT IS HARD TO GO STAY ANYWHERE.
USUALLY I SLEPT IN MY CAR. I WENT TO THE EAST END RECREATION CENTER FOR A $2 SHOWER AND SAUNA.
THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GOT, TWO OR THREE DAYS IN VANCOUVER GOING AROUND SLEEPING AND PLAYING HARMONICA WHENEVER AND WHEREVER I COULD.
THE REST OF THE NEXT TWO WEEKS WAS USUALLY TEN HOUR DAYS OF WORK THAT WITH THE NAPS I NEED EVERY FEW HOURS COULD TAKE SIXTEEN HOURS.
MY MOTHER HEARD OF THIS AND THREATENED TO DISINHERIT ME FROM MY FATHER'S MONEY.
MY WIFE ''HE HANGS AROUND IN BARS."
"TARGET HIS MUSIC, IT IS ALL HE CARES ABOUT". SHE CLEVERLY MADE SURE THIS GOT TO THE MENTALLY ILL RCMP. {I did not love her more than Music. Oh what a pity. I love fucking though. I love Music equally.}
THE SOOKE POLICE WROTE VANCOUVER POLICE AND VICTORIA POLICE AND THE UNITED STATES POLICE " APPREHEND COLLARD FOR ANYTHING POSSIBLE".
THE DAMNED JEALOUS FOOLS WANTED TO FUCK UP THE TINY SHREDS OF MY OLD LIFE THAT I MANAGED TO REVIVE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS TWICE A MONTH.
