I woke up at 4:30 this morning.. got dressed and ready to go to Labor Ready to make some extra money.. walk outside and my fucking car was towed.. eeerrrr $150 to get the stupid thing back.. we don't have a drive way so where the hell was I supposed to park the damn thing? I'm so irritated with the cirty right now.. my brother wouldn't let me go get the car with him cuz I wanted to scream my head off at the guy lol.. well it's back now.. I should be happy.. but the $150 is leaving me a bit sour..
Day now, Day Labour, Ready labour, etc. $30.00 a day for 12 hours of construction. That's how I ate food and stayed drunk during my homeless wanderings as a teenager. Good memories! I think..
We used to get stoned as fuck in the labor ready line at 4 am..there was guys drinking beer, doing lines and smoking blunts..
Shit, I used to get drunk and stoned outside the Salvation Army in the winter out in Fargo, ND! Good times again haha Namaste
Somedays it pays to sleep in, but then again that another day your car's in the impound and another $150.
actually the labor ready out here pays $56 dollars a day.. not too bad.. and they have inside crap where I sit and watch stuff go by on a freakin belt all day.. I'd probably want to scream by the end of the day but beats having no money..
In between the fun parts life does indeed suck. And sadly there are always in between parts. Or gladly there are, or we would not appreciate the fun parts. They would become boring and then we would want life to suck.
its true everyone wants to party and relax and get away with as little work as possible. who doesnt? but without the work and effort of people we would not have the things we all enjoy so much. and your right if all we did was have fun we would take so much more for granted that people already do. I dont find work the most forward looking of things to do but its all to make the final outcome of things that much sweeter.
Work can be very rewarding when the outcome is more than money. Yet, finding a job like that ain't too easy. I'm gonna have to find a way to make some money soon, and that's gonna suck. I wish there was actually a market for the silly little things I can make like hemp jewelry or clay figures.
Go to any non-first-world country where European or American or Japanese tourists visit and you can make lots of money selling that crap.
Yeah... I don't think I can make much of a living off it though. It'd be really nice if I could make an extra 20$ or so a week just by doing something that I like. I don't really need more than 20$ to cover my weekly costs (Some food, some booze, some tobacco). I'm really gonna have to look into trying to sell the stuff I make on Etsy or something... but there seems to be a whole lot of competition over there.
Play online poker, it makes me more than 20$ a week even. Or offline poker, but that is more risky since there are not that much really bad players offline as online.
I guess that's not a bad idea. I'm very good at poker, but I'm afraid to loose money at the same time. That would suck.
what was it like being homeless man, i've always meant to ask you. call me crazy, or maybe just a little ignorant, but i've always dreamed of this. to wander wherever the winds take me, see as much as I can see, and meet all the people I can. or am I just romanticizing it?
