Oh naw, all this hobo stuff is easy.
I just get tired of interacting with people, especially after my carnival saga. It's nice to decompress once in a while

Well since it's totally fucked anyway now, might as well talk about it. So I've been staying in my storage unit since I got to this town. It's been extremely comfy but you can't have anything nice around meth head pieces of shit.
So I woke up at 4AM to a couple toothless and ruthless lads breaking into the unit right beside mine. My unit's definitely going to be gone since there's a camera right beside our two units and I had to call the cops, which management will obviously be hearing about.
Puts me in a rather shitty situation since I can't even go to the shelter here since you have to have Medicaid, which means I'll have to go back to toting around my hobo bindle and so I'll be unable to hit up plasma.
Back to really roughing it, might as well start hitching towards Casper before the weather really cools. Once they finally give me the boot out my unit, I've heard tale from a home bum of a town nearby that's a very soft touch for sign flyers. If he's remotely to be believed, he said he made over $800 in a day. If it's even half that solid I'll be able to afford a train ticket anywhere and start over yet again elsewhere.
Either way, I hope Hitler 2 rounds up every meth smoking piece of trash (╯ರ ~ ರ)╯︵ ┻━┻

Cool story bro
Naw, Casper's pretty nice. Half chasing the meme of wanting to hang out with Cobra but also it's an ok place to hobo.
I've lived all over America but where would you go?
Is this dumb bit about me pretending to be homeless some sort of weak bait to get me to start power leveling or something?
"Oh no, I must defend my honor on an Onion Farm! Time to start live streaming"
I write here because I like journaling the dumb stuff I'm going through and I know a few people find it mildly interesting. If it were fake and for attention I'd have pivoted to a grift by now

Depends on the time of year the west coast is cozy during the winter especially down and SoCal, during the summer and fall months the Midwest has got some cozy spots to lay and stack cash. Florida's got some cozy panhandling you can do.
>California
>Anytime of year
Yeah fuck that noise. The entire West Coast is a terrible option for how I'm trying to live. Yeah, the government throws money into every conceivable bottomless pit but the homeless scene is out of control, especially with Newsom recently ordering the state to start bulldozing the homeless camps.
Yeah, the Midwest is aight. I've spent a couple winters doing the homeless thing in the region, which is absolutely awesome if you have proper gear. 95% of the other homelesses fuck off and you can just be in public without some moronic tweaker or drunk injun wanting to come sit on your lap and be obnoxious
I had a buddy that used to panhandle and sell these handmade vagina necklaces down in the Keys during the winter months. Had a great time apparently. It's a place I've considered but resources are scarce and crime is about as prevalent as the West coast.
Idk, but I'm probably going to fuck off from where I am immediately after my food stamps hit. All the tuna packs+jerky and I should be more than ready to hitch anywhere
I hate the entire jackass crew in all honesty because they're all assholes. I still watched it because I enjoyed watching them torment each other. But they can all rot.
SoCal used to be a great place to be homeless not so much nowadays way too rough to clarify. Florida will always be a great place to panhandle and be a bum, there's always a tourist and places to fish. Though crime and drugs are getting worse. The Midwest isn't bad being homeless as long as you can rough it, however there's always really good job opportunities and day labor. I mean it's been decades since I freebooted across America. I'm sure it's nothing like it used to be. It was bad back then I'm sure it's way worse now.
The guy who I caught a ride out of the carnival from said he could get me all kinds of ranch jobs. I'm about at the point where I'm down to muck some stalls or whatever for a month or two. The loss of my storage unit is going to really make this shit suck, so might as well kick some shit
It's funny because out of all of them the one I like the most is Bam. The fact that they kicked him out of the 4th Jackass movie was fucked up considering the millions of chances they gave to Steve-O who brought nothing to the table. Bams CKY tapes that's sold like crazy and skateboard shops we're the only reason they even got a TV deal, to the point where season 1 was mainly made up of clips from CKY and CKY 2K.
Bam margarita
Working on a ranch ain't bad if they let you stay at the bunkhouse, especially if they're willing to provide meals. Hard work though backbreaking
Keeps you lean, personally I used to do some of them day labor gigs get paid like a Mexican and then bounce out of town a week later.
Oh yeah, I know it'd probably suck for a while but it'd be an interesting entry in my life story. I think I'm gonna try tapping into my beaner roots and try hitting some day labor. There's offices but I want to try flying a sign that says "Give Me A Job, Ya Bum", see what comes of it
I worked on a dairy farm* once for a few months during summer. Hope you like early mornings.
*Autocorrect changed this to "fairy farm" and I don't even know
In my wilder and freer days, no job was too dirty and no pay was too cheap. I have worked some shit jobs for some even shittier pay.
I liked working on a farm; something about it just kind of felt good. I'm not sure if it was just being out in the fresh air and doing physical exercise, or all the tasty food I grew. I don't know, I just really liked it."
People are fulfilled when they see something tangible as a result of their efforts. Sitting in a cubicle "processing" a ceaseless torrent of bullshit busywork is what causes people to be depressed and hate their job.
If you're lucky you can work on projects that tax you mentally, include some outdoors/physical element, and actually make something tangible at the end but if not then you'd do better working in a factory mindlessly assembling components than mindlessly sending emails, because at least you're standing up and you can point at what you did today.
My grandfather used to say something like that: when a man produces something with his hands, it will always leave him feeling accomplished. We used to go out into the fields on his farm, and even though it was backbreaking labor - hot and dirty work - there was just something so satisfying about it. You just felt fulfilled.
