THE REAL SCAVENGER
Well-known member
I am writing this in response to several experiences I have just recently had. I also come with a question. Is there possible to stay at people's houses that have never been homeless and not make them feel uncomfortable in any kind of way????
When I typically get housed up, it is by old friends, or housed up travelers. Sometimes, college kids or housie rich kid punks will also house me. Or environmental girls. Or girls that work at starbucks. Blue collar guys. Ranch hands. Outdoorsy yuppies. Gangsters. Road cyclists. The list goes on. There's two kinds of people in the world.
1. People who have always had everything handed to them and then they maintain that, by having stable employment thus gaining stabile resources for their entire life.
2. People who have not had things and either wallow in that misery or they gain skills and become extremely creative.
I have stayed at both kinds of people's houses. I almost always somehow fuck something up with type 1. I overstay or somehow use an object that apparently was off limits or something. I consider myself to be a very respectful person. Really, just about everyone in my life would agree, for the most part.
Type 2, it's essentially impossible to overstay. When I am a housie, I am completely fucking estatic when travelers visit me. What do ya need????!!!! Tell me!!! If I can!!! I will give them everything!!! And probably for free! Because I got skills that allow me to not be torn up about anything! I can give you so much without a single cent in my pocket. I have never made anyone in the type 2 category feel any kind of way, EVER.
The question is it is possible for people who truly are street kids with radical beliefs to co exist with the type 1???? I ask because I'm kind of thinking I no longer want to be around anyone unless they know how to share. Sharing what you got truly is the only thing that makes sense. Why keep things You don't need, that I myself would use, everywhere and every day??? I don't get it. This shit completely blows me the fuck away
