Diary entry, May 16th:


Thank God for the rain that washes the garbage and trash off the streets

I work long hours now,6am to 10pm, sometimes more
6 days a week, sometimes 7
It keeps me real busy

All the animals come out at night
Whores, pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies
Sick.
Venal.
Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets.
Listen you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore
A man who stood up against the scum and the filth.

Now I see clearly.

And one of these days, I'm gonna get myself organananised.

(from the film 'Taxi Driver' 1976)
