Hobos

So I've been seeing tons of hobos on the street lately it kind of awakens a sensitive feeling in me. I kind of want to give them money... but I know it won't do any good. The bums I see here are not the usual bums I saw in Mobile they are shivering from withdrawal and rocking back in forth begging for spare change. Well actually this is just one woman I pass everyday while walking to the tube. Shes the most pathetic person I've ever seen. I really wish I had taken a picture of her, but I don't really want to draw attention to myself so instead I walk by without making eye contact. Maybe I will do something someday...before I leave here just take all the pence I have saved up on my counter and just throw them at her.

It must be a sad feeling to have no one in this world you can run to when you are in trouble or just have no one left because you've been getting high your whole life and suddenly you are worthless. Maybe it is just because I am young but I just simply cannot imagine myself in this situation or even to the point where I would have to camp out on the street for a night. It ain't easy being homeless. I know there are people though that go without shaving for a few days and move into the city to live like a homeless person for a day or two. They think its cool or inspirational or something, but to me that just seems like such a slap in the face to actual homeless people. Like crouching down next to someone and saying... "Yea man this does suck! Well see ya later I'm going back to my AC apartment... good luck with all this."

But homeless people have a bad rap as pretty much the world hates people who live on the street. I would really like to talk to a hobo some day and maybe hear their life story I feel like that would be interesting... or really sad... I dunno. I will put it on my to-do list. Maybe arrange the meeting so I wouldn't be putting myself in danger of being harmed or robbed. I mean seriously hobos are angry people sometimes. I remember a friend of mine inhigh school brought a large gathering of hobos some pizza and wine once and they retaliated and hit him yelling shit at him and such... It was messed.
