homeless for a night

Nov 12, 2006 21:59

On and impulse, I told my friend, Brigette, that we were going to go downtown to be homeless for the day. It took some convincing but eventually she agreed. We put on some grungy clothes, grabbed by big brown blanket with grease stains on it, and hopped on the shuttle bus ( Read more... )

That is incredible. I guess that's really the most I can say. I'm always pleased to hear about the goodness of mankind. :-)

keasbey nights is such a good album!!!!!!!

I like to give homeless people money if they do tricks or sing and stuff. Like in Boston. I also give them money if they open doors for me when i go in a store. Yup.

Last time I checked Kevin isn't jewish, in fact quite Aryan.

Now me, I am jewish, quite jewish.

Anyways, awesome socioeconomic experiment. When I heard about it I was so proud and so horrified. I find it funny that the police told you to get out of the Metro because they seem so nice in Montreal. They don't seem as mean and intimidating as the city cops in the US.

When I was in High School my friend and I decided to wrap ourselves in sheets like muslims and walk downtown(no diversity in my town). One guy saw us from inside a store and ran out of the store calling out for us. It was strange and scary. I can only imagine what it is like pretending to be homeless.

Thanksgiving and Borat will be awesome!!!

See you next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very proud of you for deciding to give the money back to homeless people. How about you do it when we go shopping tomorrow? I want to see the look on someone's face when they get a $20 bill. Actually, maybe you should do it at Christmastime. Just drop it in their hat and say "Happy holidays"...that would be so nice.
