It's damn cold and its raining and I'm not in a good mood. My soon to be ex is sitting comfortably at the house and I'm trying to find a place to crash tonight that isn't soaking wet.
Being homeless isn't so bad,, you get used to it, but it's bad when it rains and is cold, like tonight. I got the extreme pleasure of eating today for free and I need to share with you how I do that. It's really simply, I go to a store like HEB or Sam's and then sample everything. I can get them to give me a glass of water and then I make all the rounds eating food.
Some of the food isn't that good, but when it's free,, well, who cares. Anyway, after I eat, I've got to set about looking for a place to sleep. I usually go to the library or a bookstore and hang out until 9:00 or 10:00 when they close, then I go over to one location I found when I'm in Houston. This location is located between 2 stores and is basically 3 walls and a windbreak, but no roof.
I get ready to sleep and have learned to sleep standing up, so that I don't get caught by the security guards. I am able to get about an hour or two of shut eye, before the "others" came and try and run me off. Usually, they don't, but as my clothes get more and more frayed,, I'll look like any other homeless guy,, it's just that I have a law degree.
Anyway, it's raining and I've at least got a plastic bag to kinda keep me dry, and thank goodness for the umbrella someone threw away yesterday.
As for me,, I have really found a new appreciation for the homeless,, as I am now among them. Be safe and remember,, you too can fall.
