Eight days a week

My friend has recently become homeless so now I'm posting a blog on how to survive if you are homeless.

Step one: make the change
You need some money, whether it's for food or smokes, so you'll either need to steal or pan handle. If you're going to pan handle, you'll need some interesting signs. My suggestion is to make one that says "Ninja's are attacking the city can't you see ?" Make sure to look scared and swat at the air from time to time, they should give you a few bucks for that.

Step two: a place to rest
Bus shacks are good; 24 hour restaurants, too. You might need to buy a coffee or sandwich to legally stay there, but some places will let you sleep at a table for a while. In some cities there are homeless shelters and things like that, for more details ask a police officer or other authority figure. Don't just dial 911, if it's not an emergency they might get mad, 311 is typically to ask questions.

Step three: entertainment
With being homeless, you probably won't have the same luxuries most people have such as computer, cell phone, TV. So to keep yourself amused try having fun with norm deviation. Take a situation from everyday life and do something people wouldn't normally do. Watch peoples react and there's your entertainment for the day!
Example: go to the store, buy a pack of condoms and ask to see the fitting rooms.
Example: sing loud music on the bus.
Example: say meow at the end of your sentence meow. See if anyone notices meow.

With these tips you should find that being homeless sucks. But if it's something you have to do, try and get out of it as soon as possible! You can stay with a friend, or family members, maybe all you'll have to do is give up your meth addiction, just get yourself off the steers and back into society!

With love from me to you,
