I'm going to be homeless for a week this summer.

Yep, you're probably right.

 

Haha, you're right eh? The streets belong to the homeless no one else is welcome to sleep there.

 

Yay! more class tourist.

fyi

listen to the moral...


but honestly knowledge hunting is nice pursuit just never assume you learned.


OMG please don't go if you're a girl that would be horrible so many street women get attacked, god too young too young

 

I am seriously worried about your wellbeing, I looked over all the time I spent homeless, on the streets, in cars, under the postoffice building. I was seriously hurt more than 3 times, when i was homeless. I am just trying to tell you, there were a few good people, but it got worse, and worse. as it went along. I even lived in an homeless shelter, and got an black eye from an lady just bc she didnt like the way I looked. and that is the least worst that happened. Please realize what you are doing is very irresponsible and stupid. I was too nice in my last post to you in this thread, but I need to tell you this, the risks are incredibly not worth the "experience" you think you are going to have. My inbox is open, if you have any questions, but I do not recommend this at all.

 

If you weren't homeless, why the fuck would you want to??

Suggest this to your local trump, I dare you. He will probably punch you strait in the noggin.

 

Well you know, there is nothing like spending a week pretending to be homeless

 

I think you're going about this all wrong Wild Flowers. Instead of writing a book, you should star in a reality show.

 

There's already too many of those, they all blow, and there's probably 20 more by now.. haven't bothered to look at a tv in months... plus a book makes you smarter. You know how many zombies all these idiots on them are going to make, for me to kill...

Me and a few train-tramps had an idea once, if we could ever get the equipment to host it. Kinda like Man vs. Wild... but Man vs. City. Escaping the city on foot is harder then being in the middle of nowhere.. specially in Texas where you can't legally hitch. Plus it'd give the homeless their 15 minutes of fame...

Though.. that was a second on the spacebag idea...

My one, and repeat, third time... advice for this. Is if you're gonna do it.. take a trusted male or two.

 

It was obviously sardonic, and hitchhiking isn't illegal in Texas.

 

I'm bad with things that don't have tones..

Also, as of four months ago, you'd be dragged off if you sat down near and on ramp with a sign trying to get somewhere. Johnny law didn't take to kindly to it.. as the "you ain't from round here boy" comments fly. There was a church in Houston that'd give you a bus voucher though..

 

The more I think about it the more I realize it's a horrible idea.

 

Maybe befriend a homeless person or two. That way you have someone covering your back, and someone to help you out in case you need it.

I recently befriended one, and we have been partying together (so I've been partying with the homeless in my town) and meeting all the beggars and such. It's weird now when I walk down the street with my homeless friend because we get weird looks from people who have homes, and the beggars are the friendliest people around. And I walk by myself the beggars I know don't bother asking me for change, its "Hey, when you gonna come down and party with us again?"

Just partying with them you get to know their stories. They are more off-guard too because your trusted, I guess. They are full of information!

I've hitchhiked several times here, and never been hassled by a cop for it..

Local municipalities can implement laws on roads that can't be hitchhiked on. And I don't know about Houston's hitchhiking laws. But the state highways are free to hitch.

 

what a sad bunch of people. jesus H christ. the homeless arent that ruthless. just stay out of the ghettos and youll be fine. out of curiosity are you staying inner city, rural, burbs.?

 

My city is pretty small, but downtown.

Last night I saw a homless guy sleeping in the td bank entrance his name is soupy. Was going to say hi but he was sleeping.

 

if you want to be really homeless come down to austin, i'll feel bad and give you a place to stay

 

that wouldnt be a challenge to survive and thats what im looking for

 

if you want a challenge to survive join the military or find a bear to wrestle...

why do you want a challenge to survive?

 

The military is more then just a challenge to survive it means taking orders and I couldnt do that.

Because I have it to easy.

 

What I don't get, is why not put your 'easy' life to use and actually help the people who need it? Volunteer at a homeless shelter, work over night with charities to help those who are actually homeless. You'll find that you learn a lot more about yourself and life's struggles from hearing it through others.

By all means, if this is true, go and do it, but then you'll go back home to your warm house and then what?
