after work yesterday i went to the bookstore. as i was walking out of the building i saw a guy coming up the sidewalk with camping gear all over his back, and a bag of taco bell in his hand. melbourne has a thriving homeless population, and when i was growing up i used to hang out at the melbourne library a LOT. it's near the homeless shelter and the soup kitchen so there are a lot of homeless people hanging out there. i kind of made friends with a few of them so i'd talk to them while i was there. i also volunteered at the soup kitchen for honor society, so i knew a couple from there too. one of them worked for a landscaping company whose trucks i see around town. he said his lifestyle was a choice, and he preferred not having to worry about taxes and insurance and all the stuff regular people worry about. a few of the other guys i talked to had the same kind of feeling. so last night when i saw this kid walking up, i decided to flag him down to see if he wanted to talk. i speak the universal hippie language for friendship, so it's not hard making fast and comfortable friends with people. we communed with nature for a bit and then found a picnic table to sit at. chris told me of a community of homeless people living in the woods near the mall. i didn't believe him until i was sitting in my magic patch at the movie theatre across the street and i saw a man come out of those woods and walk up a couple blocks. this guy i talked to last night confirmed there is one. he said there are some guys who have been living there for years. some of them leave their stuff, but he's only been there a couple months so he carries all his stuff with him every day. he said for the most part the guys in there are decent, but there are a couple of coke/crack heads that turn up high every once in a while and it gets weird. i asked him how he ended up there. he said he worked in construction and made a lot of money after the hurricanes in 2004. after that he wanted to backpack around the country for a while. when he returned home again there was no more work. he doesn't have any family really, just a dad in south florida he doesn't speak to. he was pretty positive and gregarious, so i just kinda sat there and talked to him wondering at how other people's lives play out. i spent about 45 minutes hanging out, and then it started getting really dark so we said goodbye. my sister-in-law is technically due tomorrow, but at her appointment yesterday she found out she's not even dilating. so she's going to be induced on monday, but her doctor is warning her that with as closed up as she is right now, inducing may not work. she may be looking at a c-section. we hope not :( my mother is convinced she's having her naturally on saturday. because that's valentine's day, and it would be SO kristi :) when i talked to her last night she let me know she and my brother haven't had sex since her 4th month. no wonder her cervix isn't softened up!! it's been ignored for five months. she said my brother wouldn't do it with her because his baby was in there. she said he's weird. i agree. and it's really sweet at the same time. of course he could also be shallow enough to not be able to get it up with the belly in the way. i say flip her over and don't worry about the belly. i'm doing two jobs at work right now, because we haven't found a new person to hire yet. so i'm about to go get buried. did i say that me and tricia are seeing modest mouse again on march 9th? because we totally are. *kickass* | ||||||||||
