A few weeks ago a woman I met in a cafe gave me the keys and directions to her house thirty seconds after meeting me. I was shocked. I mean, I would at least have to hide the sex toys. But that’s how people are in the village. They live in [...]

The dilemma’s of a hobo stripper
September 20th, 2008 · 13 Comments
(Or, the dilemma’s that arise in WalMart parking lots.)
I’m sleeping in a walmart parking lot and I’m next to this RV that’s here every time I’m here. Like, I think these people have lived at this walmart for years.
Anyways, they’re drunk and fighting (and it’s like 4:30am here) and guy A pushed guy B out [...]

July 4th, 2008 · 8 Comments
Davka has the van I wish I’d been living in for the last two years instead of this Astro. It’s an Econoline 150 with the 4.9. Practically the same gas mileage I get with way more space. She got it from a guy who got it from a guy who lived in [...]

Every new begining comes from some other beginings end…
The van broke down on the way to the gathering, of course. I’m well versed in my AAA rights, since the time they wouldn’t come get me because I wasn’t within a hundred miles of anything, so I got them to tow me to the gathering. [...]
