It doesn’t bother me. Twenty bucks is twenty bucks.
These names are as generic as any pseudonyms I could be arsed to keep track of, so meh.
My buddy Scott and I went to get some food and hung out at the park today. Scott and his “brother” Bryan came here from Vegas , where they used to run a sober living home. I’ll tell the story of Scott and Bryan in a bit.

Scott and Bryan came here from Vegas in Scott’s mid-size pickup truck about a month before I got here.
Scott’s ex-wife and daughter live here, not far from the homeless shelters.
Bryan had a $31 million lawsuit judgment, and his attorney in New Orleans had somehow bungled transferring funds into Bryan’s account, resulting in Scott running out of money for motel rooms while they waited for the money to come through. Therefore they had to move into the homeless shelter.
Bryan was on the phone with the attorney everyday, calling him everything but a white man, he was so furious.
Except there was never anyone on the other end of the phone calls. Scott’s daughter became suspicious and confronted Bryan, who confessed the whole lawsuit thing had been a scam. He had been using his friend Scott the whole time, and Scott was now broke and homeless.

The lawyer in New Orleans is evidently a real lawyer, and he’s apparently flabbergasted that Bryan falsely told people he was representing him. So Bryan may face legal consequences for that.

Bryan is now living in a fifth wheel travel trailer in out small town west of here.
Scott goes to visit his daughter several times a week, but he doesn’t want to be there when his ex-wife is there. She’s a raging alcoholic, and is usually unpleasant to be around.

We need a Mexican soap opera style show centered around a homeless shelter, but it needs to be dramatic to the point of pure and total satire... like, no relatable or believable elements whatsoever, with totally over the top conventionally attractive people in EVERY role.

Everyone wants to write a book or make a movie about it.
Ninety-nine percent of what goes on around here is mind-numbingly dull. Rare are the episodes and story arcs that bear mentioning.

That tends to be a common way people try to deal with traumatizing things, but usually it's the approach people take for things that weren't "that" bad.

Nothing particularly interesting happened today. There were more cars than usual at the park. Most people who go to the park sit in their cars in the parking lot and never get out. Occasionally someone will bring their kids to play for awhile, or to walk their dogs.
Some young hot head in the dorm was hollering about how he’s recording everything the staff members do, and everything they say to him. He wants to get this one lazy broad fired. I agree that she needs to be fired, but I’m not going to make it my business. I just want to get out of here. I don’t give a fuck what happens here after I leave. If these people acted like they deserve better than what they get from the staff, maybe the staff would be more inclined to provide a more professional level of service.

I went out today for the holiday and expected it to be really busy, but it honestly wasn't much busier than normal.

I’d imagine most people bought everything they needed for the holiday in advance.

As usual, phaggots kept turning the lights back on after lights out, and that one douche was still revisiting Mayberry. An old phart with a walker traversed the entire length of the middle aisle of the dorm, leaving a foetid vapor trail in his wake.
I decided to go outside.
When I returned, these shitlords had somehow persuaded the smaht fone junkies to cease and desist. No Opie Cunningham, no shitty rap, no nothing.

It’s unbelievably quiet in here. Pretty sure it’s a trick.

A kid named Jake says we’re living in magical times.
Jake is this kind of wild man / hippie / philosopher type. He’s the kind of curly redhead MO is looking for.

Was the site under attack last night? I couldn’t get on due to request timeouts.
A guy named Mark bought me a pack of smokes yesterday, and Scott put $10 worth of gas in my car. I’m going to try to sell ice cold sodas later in the day.
More after I charge this ass fone battery.

It’s a mixed bag. The leeches (those who never have anything to share) like to hover around me, waiting for a handout. Some of them stand there and stare at me with a blank expression, even after I’ve told them I don’t have anything.

I gave an old lady a ride to the liquor store for $5 and sold her an ice cold Coke for 70 cents as a mixer. I sold another Coke for the going price of $1. I’ll start hawking them again when I get out of the shower. The guys who work at day labor for cash ought to be rolling in by then.
