starlyte, im looking to go cheap with someone allready going down who just needs help with exspensis. stonewall wants to go as do you. but i feel i must first exsplore the cheap stranger for gas money option . before i fully cave to the wonderfull friends hiking me up springer idea. also, i would prefer to go with you only to spend time with you. me and stonewall see each other alot and live nearby. so its you babe unless i cant swing the cost of sending you home.(i may have offered too much by a hunet) fingers crossed. apartment boxed. walls patched. job with garnishable paycheck secured and waiting on return. rent arangement made with lang the lanlord to pay two months now and two when i can on return. deal cut with new boss to return at pa just for some few weeks of apartment rehabing and then off to maine to catch up with johnney. yes ms i got it. it hangs in the trash closet of our building and lends to that otherwise plane yet clean room, a place to pause and reflect on your hike. marsha and i agree, we hate the poem and love that its from you. its all i got to be honest. i know you are my friend regardless of poetic loves.

johnney thunder and teresa his beautiful polish hotty girlbabe just left after we walked in fairmount park at the whispering bench and ate at quidobas. had beans and guack. shes cool with him thruhiking. but its hard to watch folks say goodby. she felt better haveing met another hiker buddy of johns even if it was only me.i can represent hikerdome only for about two hours before doing something dumb and embarrasing that usually banns me from giving directions or being allowd to touch cars. this time , things went smoothly and i belive i can say, as bob ubanks said on the honymooners show," gentelmen, the wives have been saftly secluded off stage. what would she say, if you came home with springer feaver?" the dudes commin over to visit. gotta go. still need ride. will leave as early as this weekend for franklin and points south if anyones goin. just waiting for bank to clear money wed thurs or fri. can leave then. whos drivin?otherwise, still leaveing end of month. its just that mala invited me to hang with him and tricks and wee willy and baltimore jack. it would be special. starlyte? could you leave next weekend?

i think stonewalls declaired a hikeing emergency and is goin down with me. not that theirs anything wrong with that. a hiking emergency is when you will simply die if you dont hike with matthewski. he says he can be ready by the end of the week. honestly dont know if i can wait. when my check clears im gone with the wind . you do understand that the hills are alive with the sound of music and also the sound of bacon sizzeling and the backround noises of other hikers eyes popping out like in total recall dont you? and you understand that i havent smoked a cigg since march 3rd at 1 pm. and you further understand that when i catch up to kirby , im going to give him a purple nurple for you all. and then we will discuss the simalaritys bettween the mass support online and in the woods that kirby is going to receive on this hike for being cool like that and how it relates to the simaler yet different fannings minnesota smith received. it is a wonderfull thing to be supported by others good thaughts and actions while hikeing. my own youth was absolutly filled with lobster thanks to ray walkin home from maine who never ever lets me run out of good lobsters whenever hes near. why, ill bet young ray has lobsta for me all labled and designated in his freazer right now! it prolly says on the container,.."danger! warning! dangerous amount of lobster to be eaten by matthewski" keep away!

last night my springer feaver went up to 104.7. the rangers said i would have died if i didnt watch that trail vidio it brought my fever down to 99. im drinking ramman broth and sucking frozen snickers but im real sick and the doctor says the only way back to health would be an evac to springer pronto. so im leavin tommorow at high noon. dont have a ride. dont need billville. walking south from 2101 snyder avenue with sign that says springer or bust. whoever gets me there will. i can wait no longer. will check fruit haulers going to atlanta next 4 am at the philadelphia food distribution center. ron haven says too. so im checkin. if you can leave by noon tommorow, and your going south to springer, call me. 215 668 0898. otherwise stay the hell off my phone. its for gettin to springer now. any un related , non getting to springer activitys will not be tolorated. no see ya laters. nohope you have funs. im so jellouse i could dies allowed after 9 pm. wining hotline ext 33. one bitch per customer.i shoulda ,i woulda,i couldas not returnable. all failures to thru final . lwolf sold seperatly. wee willy not associated with sperm whales. all other whales need not apply. bag o' tricks and the bag o' tricks network are funded by billville for a better tommorow. jesters talking jesus doll sold without batterys. the batterys are concidered the very engines of prostelitizing. matthew claude weinstone is a dumbass who really could have been banned from the trail hes so frickkin badass. but he has eluded the thaught police thus far as they have not come into existance yet. selling computer,,,,,,,,,,,,now!
