One of my most poignant memories is from when our Highschool band went to New Orleans - this was back in '93 I believe - A lovely competition - we won several awards and a grand time was had by all...
In the French Quarter a couple girlfriends and myself were walking and a dude stumbles up and asks "Spare a couple dollars or any change?" -- Me being the smartass of the group says loudly "Hell naw - You betta try getting a job." And off we walked in the other direction - a few of the girls were laughing "Girl you so fuckin crazy..."
Who would have ever thought that I'd one day find myself homeless - I'd actually lived out of my car for more than a few days. It was not as bad as some nightmarish stories I've heard and I was able to get housing sooner rather than later. But there are sometimes just circumstances.... Life has a way of popping you in the head every-once-in-a-while.
There's a spiritual song (I can't remember the title or the lyrics at this moment) But the content is about a homeless guy who just happened to be Jesus. Noone could spare him any change...
Anyway- very interesting write KING - Thanx for the sharing and good luck with the school thang
