| How Did I Find My Mind |
 Posted by Angel · Wednesday, July 16, 2008 |
| Jacumba: new born baby crying at local library having diaper changed on table. If you did something like this in a New York City library you would be arrested or nearly shot. I have really enjoyed my time at the Jacumba California Library because they let you be normal, and they even let you talk on your cell phones. The librarys rules in New York are borderline ridiculous. I was recently asked "How did you find your mind?". At first I did not understand the question so she explained to me that even since the 1950s people in this time period today do not know their own mind, people have forgotten how to love and often most people sink into addictions and/or abusive situations. She told me that you do not even have to go back 100 years to find good people; she said even 50 years ago people were better. She told me something I never heard before, people used to leave their keys inside their cars with the door unlocked on purpose. And when people went fishing or berry picking they would always get enough food for their neighbors. She was very happy to meet me and impressed to see how I am living. Today the definition of OLD its about 2 years, after that period people start throwing away their shit and getting new shit. It has been about three months since I first set foot in Jacumba, I have some visitors this month it will be really cool. The Grand Canyon Phantom Ranch manager is coming to Jacumba next week to visit me. After this I might be visiting Arizona for a few days. |

| Plan To Be Surprised |
| Posted by Angel · Friday, July 04, 2008 |
| If we are really honest with ourselves, that most of the time our plans do not work out as we hoped, so instead of asking our young people "what are your plans", "what do you plan to do with your life", maybe we should tell them this, "plan to be surprised". |

| It has been two long years. Purple53 is two years old well not literally. I got the truck July 3rd 2006 and have been living in it since then. I t h a s b e e n a u n f o r g e t t a b l e r i d e. The journey ahead is open and unsure but one thing is for sure I want to find a lady to accompany me on the journey. Please come and enjoy Jacumba with me! |

| Across The Universe |
| Posted by Angel · Saturday, June 28, 2008 |
| Tonight I watched the movie "Across The Universe". It made me feel really awful about a lot of things I did not know about that happened during the wars and music that was made during that time a long time ago, like the Beatles song, Strawberry Feilds, is about blood and death. It is a beautiful movie, the choreography is amazing, the music is amazing, and the sets they created to movie some of the movie is really artistic. I highly recommend seeing the movie. All you need is love! |

| Community Power |
| Posted by Angel · Wednesday, June 25, 2008 |
| It has been a while since my last entry. It is interesting, a friend of mine told me yesterday that people do not realize how powerful a community can be. It is good to see that other people feel the same way I do. America is such a big place that most areas do not have community at all. The elderly travel 4 hours a day to buy food and talk with friends on public buses. I think that is just as bad as child obesity. My father visited this past weekend. We ate at Salsa Lynda restaurant in Boulevard about 8 miles from Jacumba. This place has some of the best Mexican food I have ever tasted they even sell freshly made salsa in bottles, the salsa is amazing and I recommend the burritos, they are easily vegan/vegetarian friendly too. |

| Friday the Thirteenth |
| Posted by Angel · Friday, June 13, 2008 |
It is Friday the Thirteenth. Tomorrow is my birthday, June Fourteenth, Flag Day. I am still living in Jacumba California and so I have dubbed Jacumba home base for at least six months. The town itself has a history.
Today some four hundred people live in Jacumba. What now appears a quiet high desert retreat was once a thriving spa. In the 1920s and 30s the community thrived, its therapeutic hot springs a mecca for Hollywood celebrities and wealthy Imperial Valley growers. Walking through town on a sunny day you get the sense of history. The old buildings, tumbleweeds and dry air gives your imagination space to wander. Humans have the bad habit of complaining and I think it must be part of our nature or maybe many people are off track. Almost everyone today complains about gas prices, airports lines, public transportation, the economy, their brothers, their sisters, their families, jobs, and weird people. I advise you, please stop complaining! Find some peace, there is no other way! |
