And Then the Stars Blew Out

Pity for those that are in the unfortunate position that they have no home to go to. Many live in situations where they truly have nowhere to go except a curb with a newspaper, but some have homes elewhere, to some extent. Welfare isn't being abused, it's just being REAL fuckin' generous. Here's a prologue to a case study that eventually depresses ( Read more... )

I guess, when you summarize it, Dave had made a lot of hopeful wishes when he was planning to come to Ottawa, and he actions had led him into a tough spot. I always thought that when I was in a position like his that I would just go where my heart prompts me. After all, a situation like his is somewhat free, isn't it?He's still able to get welfare wherever he goes.

i woudln't need to,
the things i don't like eating are generally more expensive then things i do like eating.
i'm pretty easy to please.

I wonder what kind of life creates a man like Dave, if he had to grow up in a life where he really had no real home anywhere and was forces to fend for himself for the most part. Wouldn't he eventually learn to live with anything if he had so many hardships?

Is that a poor assumption?

to remain comfortable? yes, i would probably give up some of the extravagent things i like to eat. but really i'm not an extremely picky eater. and what i don't like are usually expensive anyways.

no one can touch your face, eh? i'll have to test that theory.

You haven't tested it enough, trust me. ^ ^

i did not say no one.
it was a personal, albeit immature (i'm still dealing with having what was a significant portion of my life gone), comment/lyric stealing.

and yes, i would lower my standards to live comfortably.

answer: Of course. I love cooking, so that makes things a whole lot easier.

metsuten April 26 2005, 02:46:56 UTC

What if you had to cook the same thing every day?

she_dares_say April 26 2005, 02:56:51 UTC

hmm. I think I could deal with it. And plus, there are all sorts of things you can make out of the same ingredients :)

metsuten April 26 2005, 03:24:51 UTC

This is true. I think there's probably about a gazillion things to do with rice. That and as soon as you buy spices, you are unstoppable.

Favorite spice, Ky?
