    Community is this HUGE theme in my life. If we can come together I truly believe we can solve all the world’s problems. But the problem is “They” don’t want that. That love keeping us divided. If we can overcome that division I truly believe we can change the world. To that end, I’ve set…

    Honestly, I wish I wasn’t writing this now. I have “more important” things to discuss with you than God right now. (Homelessness, Black Lives Matter and overall governmental and systemic torture and murder and oppression of people.) But if I don’t jot these ideas down now they will fade from memory. And I’d like to…

    I watched a really powerful interview on Fox News with the president of Black Lives Matter in New York, Hawk Newsome: This interview was incredibly interesting to me because he is our modern day MLK or Malcolm X. He is responding to the police and government tactics of 2020. Many things are similar to the…

    Do the lessons of the world yell at you like they yell at me? I worked at Perkins restaurant washing dishes when I was 14. The manager said I was doing too much. I played the trombone. I played the cello and I was in choir. He said I needed to quit something. I was…

    I’ve been thinking about getting a gun. I’ve been thinking about the Ruger AR-556 MPR As I was fantasizing about my new purchase, my obsession turned to murdering a particular drug dealer in my neighborhood. I thought about how, when, where… I was getting so into the idea that I had to just stop thinking…

    As someone who ran a trap house for a time, let me tell you… it’s a thankless job. People you’ve never met appear out of nowhere. They move in. They bring their belongings (of which they often have a lot). They build doors out of found objects. They mount hinged locks on doors in your…

    One of the nearly endless frustrations I have with this work is how there is not even a basic curiosity of how these homeless camps work. I’ve never understood why anthropologists aren’t swarming homeless camps to try to get a better understanding of how early civilization was formed. Every single homeless camp I’ve got to…

    It’s hard to argue with reincarnation when you understand the fundamental laws of energy in the universe. The first law of Thermodynamics states: The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. In essence, energy can be converted from one…

    The sentiment of this sign keeps me marching forward. “I just want to live.” For me, it’s not about the food or the tents or any of that. For me, it’s about acceptance. Homeless people are going through a dark part of their journey. And the LAST thing they need is us telling them they…

    To you, this may look like an empty field. To me it looks like destruction. This was a home. This was a village to people who the rest of society gave up on. And they were not allowed to exist. They were considered illegal. Citizens of their own country, considered illegal. There is an institutional…

    I see myself as a freedom fighter. We have institutionalized homelessness in America. Government and corporate service providers have thrown up their hands. “They just don’t want our help.” So people are left to rot on the streets and in the woods. We live in a world where giving human beings a toilet is “encouraging…

    I wanted to point this picture out for exactly what it is: Hate. It is hate directed towards addicted people.  The reason I want to point it out is because it is also VERY acceptable in most of American society. The words “Grow Up” in the bottom right reflect a complete ignorance of what an…

    The most futile feeling in the world is sitting in courtrooms and political chambers listening to politicians and appointed officials talk about how I have a “big heart” but zoning laws are more important than people dying on the street.
