*SPRING 2014*
(while walking to CVS on route 1, i finally spotted the ‘mercer county library’)
.
(i need a library card)
(but i need proof of residency)
(back then i was staying at the ‘mounts motel’)
(“public housing”)
(for now i got a 1-hour pass)
(that’s not long enough)
i paid $2 to get a 2-hour internet pass for a year…
i had to borrow 50 cents from a young black man at the copier…i can use the pass at any mercer county library…for some reason princeton opted out of the mercer county library program (because they have their own libraries open to the general public)…and even though i live in lawrenceville, a motel is not considered a “permanent residence”…
1.5 miles to the library…and i can stop at CVS for energy drinks + food as well…and chat on the phone and pick up change along the way…as well as get some sun + exercise…
(but their water fountains don’t work properly)
(because we’re near the trenton ghetto)

a computer mouse wasn’t working properly…
i ended up sitting next to a 60-year-old man named “carl”…he commented on my fast typing…i made the mistake of telling him i was a guitarist…then he wouldn’t shut up about his past as a rock drummer…wasted a good portion of my daily 2-hour internet limit…

ran back and forth to library…
a beautiful fall day
i walked to the library and got 2 starbucks iced coffees
started updating my secret blog links
(still got a ways to go there)
go to lawrence library…
gotta hit up the library before tomorrow…
ran back from the library…
there were some cuties in the library…i have no hope of scoring anytime soon…
then i go to the library…
my joga leone account was logged in last night…so i changed the password…did i forget to log out when i left the library yesterday?
so i didn’t get enough done at the library today…
(because i kept talking on the phone to miro)
(and it ran down my battery)
i walked to the library saturday morning and got a vanilla iced starbucks coffee before going to the internet
i finally started friending people on the “joga leone” facebook account
(and made a totally new “joga” music page)
roboray was the first to accept my friend request
along with michael anthony
(who i had a good conversation with friday as he drove down the shore)
and aaron fragnito
and amalia chaparro / abigail crowley
chatted with nick crowley on the phone after a few attempts
(he was heading upstate for his birthday)
gotta be careful about leaving the library computer for too long…i get disconnected after a period of time…
i’ve still got a ways to go in terms of organizing my blog…this is distracting me from focusing on music promotion…but i feel it a necessary step in “focusing my attack”…
is the library open today?
gotta make it to library
tomorrow i’ve gotta hit up the library…
just go to library and post some tracks to FB…get a good 2 hours in…then you gotta motivate yourself to keep creating…
so many annoying derelicts at the library all day…
the 2-hour timer at the library is all screwy…slowing down the computer…
mistakenly didn’t update my jogajournal at the library…
walked there (didn’t run)
(didn’t get to pick up the check monday)
(blogged at the ‘library’ all day)
