Miami Experience

Well,


I made it to Miami. Bye Bye Key West. I left with a friend, Scotty at 6 A.M.on Saturday morning May 19th. We took the Lower Keys shuttle from Key West to Marathon, 4 dollars. hopped on the American bus to Florida City, 2 dollars and 35 cents, took the 38 bus to the Metro rail, 2 dollars, bought an all day pass for 5 dollars and made it to South Beach by 2P.M.....PRICELESS !!! Especially because I didn't even spend a dime because I didn't have a dime. My friend Scotty paid for the whole trip but he also owed me 20 dollars that I had loaned him the week before...My friend is apparently a former Air Force Special Intellengence airman who spent 6 years with an honorable discharge. But I couldn't and still can't believe it because the minute we got to Florida City, he acted like a complete lost idiot. and he apparently has traveled the world while he was in the service. We got off the American bus and he starts asking total strangers who don't even speak English, "What bus do we have to take to go to Miami and how much does it cost and all kinds of stupid ass questions" All the while I am reading the bus stop sign that even has a map that tells you where you are going, trying to calm his ass down. That was the beginning of the end, I thought maybe after a few beers or a couple shots of Vodka he might calm down but no, he didn't. The closer we got to Miami it seemed the stupider he got. When we finally got to Metrorail in Dadeland South ( it took an hour and a half on the 38) I suggested that we buy a day pass that cost 5 dollars as opposed to paying 2 dollars for a one way ticket, he bitched and moaned about spending money. I thought, this is not starting off too good, I am completely broke and totally relient on this guy who is already freaking out before we even hit Miami. I hate being in that position and should have waited for my check to come in before leaving Key West but he offered to pay and K.O.T.S. is getting OLD and the day before Officer Abitual caught me and Murphy in front of K Mart drinking alcohol (we had our drinks in non see through cups) and asked us why he shouldn't put us in jail. And I explained that Murphy had just bought a radio and portable DVD player that I was helping set up and showing Murphy how to work his brand new toys just purchased (over 120 dollars) at the K Mart we were in front of "breaking the law".

Anyway, Officer Mitchell let us go. So we left to Stock Island. And I convinced Scotty to go to Miami that night and he agreed. While in Miami, Scotty was worried about a place to sleep that night and was scared that it was going to rain, in which it did. I figured we could get a little buzz on and find shelter somwhere on the streets.Scotty ended up leaving me after I found my buddy Billy at the Metro mover in Miami. Scotty was bitchin' and moanin' too much for me. Billy Boy is from Kentucky and can handle what ever comes his way. The difference from Miami to Key West from hearsay,is that in Miami if you get busted for an open container or trespassing you get time served, you might do 12 hours. In Key West it's 30 days, big difference!! ( Update: Murphy is back in jail, the day after I left for Miami) So it was time to go. I'm having a great time in the real world, big city of Miami. I have a couple different spots to sleep, one being across the street from the American Airlines arena where we watched the people going to and from the game when the Heat whooped the Pacers ass, like 115 - 83! Then me and Billy Boy went up to Haulover Miami beach and slept there for a couple days and the cops just drive by, they have bigger fish to fry than to worry about some homeless people sleeping in the streets.
