This Channel on YouTube... Interviewing Women Who Are Homeless

First let me say this. I might hurt some people's feeling, but you know what... FUCK YOUR FEELINGS!!

 Years ago it was said that people were 2 paychecks from being homeless. Today.. You could be homeless living in your own place and don't even know it yet. You say that isn't possible. Well look at it this way.

You working, taking care of your family, food on the table and every thing is going just great. You're not even thinking about ever being homeless, but you see the homeless in your. Commute to and from work. In fact, you're so use to seeing them that you don't even see them any more. That you actually talk with a couple of them, give them a couple of dollars because..hell, you just want to.

On you way home, you are glad it's Friday, next two days off. As you head towards your building on your block, you see police cars and a large crowd. All you want to do is just get inside your building and in your apartment. Then you hear something that makes you stop. Some one says, 'well that isn't right, what are we going to do?' So you ask what's going on.

The owner of the building has sold the property to someone else and that someone else has placed a posting that 6 months from now everyone has to be moved out. Everyone in the building as of now does not have to pay any rent going forward. Use that money to save and look for a place. That all deposits are being given back to the tenant if the the apartment when they have a lease they have signed for their new place. Either cash or a check will be given. You just stand there shocked and all kinds of madness is going thru your head.

Though it's only 6 months away, half a year.. You aren't even thinking about that. Its the searching and then the moving..and putting kids, if you have any.. Transferring them to a new school isn't the problem, it's them going thru the change that might throw off their momentom. All of these thoughts and others are going thru your head. You're going to have to do all of this on your own while still working and hilding things down. The only thing that sheds light on it all..is that you don't have to pay rent going forward and you are getting back your deposit. You tell yourself you have a lot to do, and you know you can do it. So you think.

The way housing is going... You'll be lucky to get in a place even though you're working. It's not about having money in the bank, anyone can put money in the bank. It's about how much you make. Some places want you to make sometimes 4 times the rent in one month..and then just maybe they will think about letting you just fill out an application. And if you find a place, most likely it will be out of the way, not close to any transport, schools, shopping and laundry facilities.

So you give yourself the day you are suppose to pay rent, on that day you open another account and place that money in there. The next day, you start a soft look, looking for a place to live next. After about 20 minutes if searching online, you decide to call one place and find out on how to fill out an application. You get a voicemail, leave info and they will call you back. 10 minutes later they do, and you're in for a surprise.

I've Gotta Say...

Anyone under the age of 37 is a youngster to me. There I've say it. Oh I have my reasons for saying so too. When those if 37 years of age and younger come to me for some advice..and it's rare, I give it to them. My advice is what I would do, but you aren't me so take your chances by following my advice. But if I really, REALLY know something, if I really know the works and the making of whatever you ask me about, I would take the advice I gave you. Run with it, go for it. But no..you have to learn by your mistakes. It's not like you've been around the block as many times I have in my 60 plus years.  So this one young lady is a certified Nut Case. Yeah, but she has a beautiful face and a body you wouldn't believe. I have had the pleasure of making Love to her once..with no happy ending. Reason being, I know me. I would want her always and all the time. So why I do/did was make it all about her pleasure. Did everything she would want me to do...other than actual s...

I know we are a strange people

I'm trying to figure out people, this is an ongoing, day to day, minute to minute process . Why do I bother? I REALLY need some type of hobby. I know to some people I may be and act strange also. The difference with me is that I will call you on your strangeness. Call me on mine. To me, I like to have fun, no matter what I am doing. Work !! I have always have fun at work, but not all the time. It happens throughout the day. The people I wait on, allow the fun part of me to come out. Someone should invent a spray that does this to people, I think, no I know the world would be a whole lot different. Another thing, and I try to make this a priority everyday, is that I try to be consistent . Its hard at times, but I do try.

Wow!!

Okay, this woman I met online....we are meeting for the first time come December. She choosed to tell me a little about herself. She us a God Fearing. Church Going Woman. To each his or her own. She told me in her own words, that she use to smoke that 'shit', crack. So? I could care less if you're smoking it, have smoked it and want to still smoke it, that's your choosing, really. But I have issues with what she said. Its along the lines of people who sue to smoke cigarettes, and now when theywalk into a cloud of cigarette smoke, the complain or cough. To me that act is stupid. It only goes to prove that you miss smoking cigarettes. Why complain when some one else is smoking and you use to? You miss it that bad huh? Reguardless you quit because of health reasons, I'm not watching where I smoke if its legal, cause you feel its bad for YOU!! As for smoking crack. You tried it, liked it,hbut found out now that its not right for you to do. What cause you to quit? Me, ...
