Hmmmm....
So - it seems I haven't posted in months.
Why? I don't know why. I have so much to say. Most of it is a bummer so I chose not to spew my hatred for the outside world.
But - I have decided to open my mouth. I am disappointed with everything. Mainly the world in general. I don't have the answers - but I have to question it. I don't get it.
I recently went to San Francisco. What a hole. If I never went again...I wouldn't care. Its a hole because the streets are flooded with bums - crazy people - beggars and loons. I did not feel safe there. I was accosted and screamed at and watched drug deals go down on the street in broad daylight. The amount of crack or meth heads was amazing. It seemed that they let out the asylum and no one cares. I sat in a cab and at stoplights they would knock on the windows. Try to open the doors and ask for a dollar or two or four.
Went to Seattle. I like it there. Its the only place that I have been to that I have said that I would live if Florida no longer existed. They too have their issues downtown with the street people - but it didn't seem to frighten me or be as in my face as San Fran.
West coast living is probably not for me. I don't get it. I don't understand the thought process of the inhabitants. For as many rich as there seemed in one area. Expensive real estate - fancy cars and high end restaurants - the amount of poor walking along the street was sad.
They give them money - and their leftovers. The homeless eat very well in that place. I watch as people left the restaurant and gave the unused portion of their $25 meal to the guy sitting by the door. Over and over again.
Here - the owner would probably put a hose on the guy and tell him to get away from the door. There - they deal with it.
I watched as the people I was with handed out over $40 in one night. Why!?!
Give a man a fish - he will eat one day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat a lifetime.
