Monday Monday la la, la da la la...

It's so da.n green here. It rain off and in for two days, which made the grass even greener. It's been so damn hot this past week too. Today temps only going to hit 77°...which means the shop probably hit 90° I can deal with that.

...and here I thought that dude was he man. Well, she made it perfectly clear that he wasn't. She also made it clear to me that she was waiting for me to open my mouth a ND talk with her. From what I gathered..she already has made her mind up on the plans she has for me. I laughed when she told me too.

I hand around these two White kids, kids because one is 18 and the other is 19. The reason being because these two MOTHERFUCKERS are smart as shit. What ever comes out of their mouths is fascinating to me, no for real. One of them when I'm around him...he just gives me info on some strange shit. Info like.. I can't even tell you about because what he says you would think you have no use for. A handful of Black men here questioned me on why I hang with 'The White Boys'. I tell them bev5 I CAN and I WANT to. The both of them are heading out to Job Corp, just waiting on their 'shipping' day is what I call it. But there is one thing that bothers the fuck out if me about them though.

In a conve5 with them, it came out that they feel bad about being Homeless. That people look down on the Homeless as Third Class, the gutter people of society. I TRIED to explain it to them that we..I'm ONLY homeless because I don't have a home. I have a job, clean clothes in my back, I eat and I take showers twice a day..so yes, I AM homeless. But that doesn't bother me not one bit. 

I told them I am free to go to any place, any State any city that I want to. Before I go, I do my research..the job market. And you can better believe after I check into that Homeless Shelter..within 7 to 14 days I WILL have a job. But in the meantime I'm giving a group of people a job(s) to so the minimum amount of work to make sure I have food, clothing and shelter. Without me, they wouldn't have a job so to speak.

The reason why these two feel this way is that they don't see themselves pulling themselves up and out of the situation they/we are in. I told them it ALL starts with waking up, washing your ass and making your bed. A small thing. They joke at the way my area is so damn clean and that I clean and sort my stuff out each Sunday. I tell them it's so that I know where my stuff is. I also tell them that there are two washing machines and two dryers for all of us to use..USE THEM!!

They stay indoors when the dorms are open and out back on the benches away from the cars that drive by. They told me it hurts them when people give them that look..the look of 'You bum, get a job.' Yeah, get a job the two of you. You'll feel much better about yourself. I get looks too, but my looks from people are..to me they have confusion in their eyes. 'Wait, so you live there ina Homeless Shelter and you ARE working?' Yes, that's right. I have saving for retirement and I work for my everyday spending and saving up for rent money. Being that I'm Black and from New York City...they can't grasp WHY would I want to come this small as town, one in which they are dying to get out of. I tell them to just GO!! The only thing holding you back as far as I can see is the unknown which will BE and become the KNOWN. 

Gotta 'Beat Feet'..my ride to work is here.
