When I was 19 I was broke going into the summer, didn't have a job, didn't have much money. Me and a buddy decided to go on an adventure and hitchhike around the country. We went broke pretty fucking fast. We wound up begging for change, sleeping on park benches, ate at soup kitchens, slept in shelters. Picked up up day jobs as farm labor, done the fruitpicking circuit, camped out of mountainside mushrooms camps with fugitives. I know what the early lineup for Sunday morning free pancake breakfast at the Christian fellowship looks like. I've caught a train through the mountains with hobos, ran with packs of street kids and seen all sorts of crazy assed shit go down that you wouldn't believe if I bothered to type it up. I've talked to homeless from all different backgrounds. I still look back on that summer and loved every fucking moment of it. It's a humbling experience to know what it's like to live day to day with zero money to your name. I had a blast, and even though I could never go do it again, I'm glad I did.
I KNOW, YOU DON'T. Let's leave it at that. One day when you graduate from highschool with a whopping D average, I suggest you get out and see the world too...
