How is Everyone?

It's been a while since I've posted an article, how is everyone? I'm great. I've been pretty busy lately with band things and such but I should be able to post more articles now that I have more free time.

Anyways lets talk about the homeless. I know I should be more sympathetic toward the homeless but I really believe if you're homeless, then you sort of deserve to be. Now I didn't always believe this, but after watching a few documentary's on the subject it seems like some of the homeless have better living situations than some of the working folk. They have endless resources to use at their disposal such as free food, living arrangement's, welfare checks (it's easy to get one) free clothes, showers, baths, even free yoga classes. All this for the homeless, and you still see people living on the streets. Why? Why would you choose to live on the streets when you have all these resources available to you? I understand these resources aren't available everywhere, but if you're living on the streets wouldn't it be in your best interest to move somewhere they are available and take advantage of them? Anyways I don't want to make this too long so I'll end it here, what's your opinion on the subject?

  3. i've had some friends who were homeless, some who were homeless by choice. they liked the freedom of not being tied down to one place, not having so many bills or anything, and it really wasn't viewed as much of a problem for them.

  5. I suppose it really depends on the situation. A lot of people probably have done things to make themselves homeless, and they deserve it. On the other hand, there are people like that not by their own fault. Although, as you say there are plenty of resources to help them.

  6. Homeless? just think about Ted Williams, the guy had everything before being a junkie/alcoholic and losing his home. Now things are getting better for him. We should all learn a lesson from that guy.
