I gave a homeless woman $20 yesterday. She had a cardboard sign and was standing by the road. She looked as out of place as me, tattoos on her face, a lip ring, and dread locks. Her sandals were worn. She didn't look much older than me and could have been a friend of mine.
She may have used the money to buy food, she may have used it to buy drugs. It doesn't matter to me because either way she needed it more than me. If I was in her place I would need a fix and a side order of French fires too. I feel bad things would have happened to me if I hadn't given her anything. I have a lot and she obviously had very little.
My mother called me a fool. Whatever. Its just something I do.
But now I wonder if a lot of homeless people are going to show up begging for change like zombies. Am I going to be Kyle?
I wish I was at Coachella. I want to see Love and Rockets.
There are tiny spiders in my house. But I don't mind. I like spiders. They eat the bad bugs. Though I tend to let everything live anyway.

Nah, I just hope for the best and hope that person respects that you gave then the money and that your probally not made of money...
I went to Coachella.... Roger Waters was the shit! Ive never seen such a kick ass show ever and probally never will. Unless led Zepplin gets togethr and has huge pyros and a huge floating pig.
Disco Fries.. never heard of em.
Poutine = fries + gravy + cheese curds.. or just cheese = aweome erection.
Those crazy Quebecois-ers came up with that amazing combo. And I love them for it.
I remember, several years ago, seeing this woman outside of the "Vet" on the way to an Eagle's game and how she reminded me of my cousin, Michelle, who vanished when I was a child.
After seeing this person - people mattered much, much more to me.
I think you did alright.
