That dude's awesome. Just living the dream, man. Do you know how many times I thought about walking out of this damn job here at Initech, packing my stuff in my pack and heading out. I think about it a lot. Especially after watching Into The Wild. Something about Eddie Vedder singing over a kid wandering America that makes me want to say "F*ck it all".

I've thought about dropping everything and moving to Key West plenty of times. Cost of living is high, but the common folk have to live somewhere too (waiters, cooks, shop workers, etc).

So a guy moves to Reno to find a job can't find one and ends up living on the street? That's rough. I guess he didn't have a Plan B.
Do they have to rasie their hands when they have to go to the bathroom too?

look NS, if you cannot figure out the diff b/t a blanket, tent, etc. . . vs. a cig than I don't know what to tell ya. How about this though, if you ain't got any money either don't blow what you do have on smokes and booze-or blow it on smokes and booze but don't bitch about money when you do. If I were homeless or livin in a tent I would prob drink more and smoke more than I do now b/c I would be pissed/depressed whatevs-but I wouldn't be dumb enough to be like-gee how can I get more money to get a place (here's a hint though that $400+/mo habit-maybe that's a place to start).

You gathered all that from the picture showing what looks to be a nub? (or if he was a meth user, perhaps his lone upper tooth?) I'm not sure what your life has been like, but believe it or not - there are people out there that have jobs & still cannot afford rent or a mortgage. And should they be in a place without family or friends to lend them a roof, the options they have are quite limited. Again, to be snarky. Tell me how this guy should act. Would smearing shit all over himself fit more into your "homeless" picture, and should we also decry him eating a meal in a restaurant that doesn't have "Hope" or "Soup Kitchen" in the title... as that would be needlessly spending money?

Yeah leon, stop being such a hardass. That guy was living in a 4800 square foot home in Irvine, California before some asshole banker foreclosed on him. He is a victim of Bush's economic policy, just like those fat women whose story I posted a few months ago. Bush needs to be stopped because he has ruined, there was never any homelessness under previous Democratic regimes, and it will go to zero again if we vote for the right guy.
Subtle Obama trolling.
And I think it's a handrolled "TOP" brand cigarette.
