 		While #39 is HEX #38 is actualy BINARY reading as 30, 31 etc. Am still following the intriguing story 'tho Sad b/c there's nothing else to do.

Today was bright, and cold, and cloudy. A little bit of a breeze coming through, but I guess that's what you have to expect, living this life. I've found shelter in a cemetery a little ways northeast of Jackson, out on M-106. I'll head this way for a while, and then turn east. Should be easy enough to get to where I'm going from here. But then, you don't know where I'm going.....Well, hello there. My name is Mitch Caruthers. I'm 24, and I'll be 25 in a few months. I'm originally from Pinckney, Michigan. Unfortunately for me, this morning I was released from what I thought was the Michigan State Prison in Jackson, Michigan, for Aggravated Assault with Intent to do Great Bodily Harm (less than murder). Wordy, I know. I won't claim I'm 100% innocent, but I will say there's more to it than I can really say here. In any case, I got five years, but was able to be paroled after two, thanks to just being an all-around awesome bastard.....And I walked out of the prison this morning, and...something happened. I don't know what. I don't remember. I checked the date, and yes, it is most certainly February 22, 2012.

Still a Wednesday. Nothing different at all. Except everything is different. And yet, looking at things from a larger standpoint, not much has changed. I'll have to browse the national news when I have a moment to learn for sure what's different, but for now I'm just going to continue heading home. And hoping that there's a home to head to.

I can see a clearing just at the edge of my range of viewing, and I'm interested in checking out the area. I've no idea why, really, but it just looks like something I would find intriguing. I haven't taken the time to explore, or enjoy my surroundings. I've only been running, and it's time to stop running.

Yes, this place seems to be the best place to go. I'm going to set this down for a little while so I can be free of encumbrances, and I suppose I'll be back in a little over an hour to either sleep or transcribe whatever it is I hope to find over there. I can see a tower in the distance. It appears to be red.

This is the only reference to ANYTHING slendy related........... Also, while the access to the blog was sort of game like, there is no way to interact. I'm feeling like there is nothing to do until May 18th/19th.... IF there is anything to happen.

Entry37: No, what's important is that I think I have a handle on some things. I have determined based on the average length of the entries I've been writing that the prior content of this machine is somewhere between one and five journal entries. I'm not sure exactly just yet, because I'm sure some of the space must be taken up by operating system and whatnot.

I'm in the middle of the woods. Probably the safest I think I can be. I walked, and I walked, and I finally decided to leave the road and hide among the trees. I like it here. It feels safe, if a little bit isolated. As a matter of fact, I saw something on the way in that interested me. I know I'm trying to avoid people, but I figure that if they're going to categorically ignore me and everything I do for the next interval of time that even I don't know yet, I may as well take advantage of it.

Entry36: The Second Day (Thursday, February 23, 2012)....Today was...well, it was sure as hell a lot easier than I had originally thought it was going to be. According to this pedometer-type thing I had picked up before I went in, I've gone just over fifteen miles today, contrasted with yesterday's six. And yeah, it's cold out. But it's fucking February, in Michigan. You learn to live with it. It's just part of the program, yeah?....I'm not entirely sure what's going on yet. Right now I'm in a small town named Stockbridge, which I'm not really familiar with. I mean, I was aware of the little town, but I'd never really gone out of my way to spend any real time there. It was never a real priority to me. So here I am, sitting once again in a cemetery. They're astonishingly good cover. People just don't come in them after dark. At least, not rural ones.


Friday the 13th has an extra JPEG called "THINK" with the attached hidden audio (slowed down). If there's also a WMV video hidden it's beyond my pay grade. Laughing

 		Perfect. I'll post what I see when I get home. Me thinks there will be a message in there. Unfortunately the program I use doesn't do MP3, that and the slowing down think could mess it up. Expect a result around 6-7 forum time tonight.

 		How are you guys even locating these audio files. Shocked

I've gone over the Friday 13th one twice, and I see nothing.

"THINK" "OUTSIDE" "THE BOX" Confused

Maybe the clue is in the titles, rather than the contents of the audio

...or perhaps the titles on combination with the audio?

I'll be honest, I don't know how to get the files, but you can hide and extract files in a jpeg.As far what I'm going to do once I get home, it's called spectrography. Essentially it's making an image and putting it into a program and it makes noise. You can then take said audio and revert back to the image. Unfortunately, there isn't an app for that as far as I've seen. If anyone knows of one for android, I'd love to have it :p. Otherwise, when I get home from work, I'll pop in the THINK one and see what we get. If I can figure out how to extract the other ones, I'll do them as well and post the findings.

 		Hi Meri, if you have Audacity it'll open the THINK audio & pity about the spectrogram, ieisuk. It's an unusual one tho. Tried resizing the 4/17 pic but found/saw nada.

In Binary #35: Day Seven (Friday, March 2, 2012)

The end of the first week. I'm not sure I have the capacity to explain what's been going on, what's been happening to me. For seven days now I've been doing the best I can to write my experiences in this little journal, but it's difficult to really explain, isn't it? I've been walking roughly ten miles a day, from points a to b, without any real reason to do so. I'm just trying to stay alive, I think. I feel like I'm being followed, and yesterday I thought I caught a glimpse of...who or whatever is following me. But that's not really important right now.

In Binary #34: I just wish I knew for sure whether people are just unable to see me, or if they're ignoring me for some other purpose. And to be completely candid, I'm not sure which would be worse.

Though, in other news, I think I've made some progress into putting together bits and pieces from the earlier entries on this machine. I have confirmed that there are, in fact, entries from before this past Friday on this machine. I don't know what it's been doing with them, or how many, but at least I've confirmed that there is, indeed, data on here. Now I need to figure out what to do with it. I don't know for sure exactly what I'll do with it, or even what I could do. I don't expect to understand, either. I don't know how I'm to go about this when I'm spending a large portion of each day walking.

I don't even know why I'm walking. I don't know why I'm doing anything about anything. I just go, and I go. One of these days, I'm going to just stop, and lay down, and wait for it to come to me. I know it's there. I can feel it waiting. It is welcoming, but it frightens me. I run away from it. I run away from everything.

In Binary #33: Day Six (Thursday, March 1, 2012)

Another day gone, another day closer to me just giving up and saying fuck it. In a Walmart tonight. Nobody notices. Nobody cares. I as much as don't exist. Thought I saw something today, but maybe that was just my overactive imagination. And yet, I am actually in Alabama, so I don't know how much an "overactive imagination" really gets me. Certainly I shouldn't have to be carrying a loaded weapon. Maybe I'm being followed. Maybe I'm just losing my goddamn mind.

Maybe I'm already dead, and I just haven't figured it out yet. That would add up a little bit. I just...I don't give much of a fuck anymore. It's hard for me to write this, but I suppose it's as good as anything else. Given that it's an outlet to get my thoughts out in a way that doesn't involve firing the gun, I'll take it.

In Hex #32: Of course, the way I've been, it's been hard to not turn the gun on myself anyway. I can't deal with this much longer. It's hard for me to cope with this. There are entire days where I don't speak to anyone, and even when I have, I get the feeling that they're not really taking notice of me. I feel, again and again, like people just can't see me while I'm here. I wish I knew why that was.

I don't want this life anymore. I just want all of this to be done with and over. And I'm willing to do almost anything to get out of here. Alive or otherwise.

 		I may wrong, but looks similar to the spectro of THINK. I'll run them all thru later tonight if I get the chance and don't just crash when I get home from work. I may need a better program for it if I can't congfigure it well enough to get the whole thing. If any one can do it, try running it thru on a linear scale instead of the normal logrithem way. That's kindawhat I'm thinking it is. Whatever is going on, he's given us a hard one to crack and I think he might be giving us a clue
