Why did I do it? Was I trying to validate myself...to try to confirm my identity...that I exist? Its such a small matter: I bought a sandwich for a homeless person. I've been passing by this guy all week to and from class everyday. I thought, hey...I could buy this guy a sandwich. I'm a "have" and he a "have not." That must mean I should be

HEY JAKE! long time no talk.

You are one brave soul! I have been yearning to give those homeless people food...but have always been afraid that they would hate me or just reject the food. And I thought I would never know the answer because I was too afraid of rejection... but thanks to you, I know the answer.

I guess it is the thought that counts.

I hope you've been well!

a friend of mine gave one of the homeless men a sweatshirt during the blizzard - we've seen him wearing it. don't let this one event get you down, sharing is good.

on a slightly lighter note, the other day i saw someone who i thought was a homeless man, and then i saw him go into class in CAS. hah, figures.

maybe he wasn't homeless. a few of my friends look homeless but are acutally a part of a wealthy family..

true dat, kelsea.

My mom and I adopted a 'hobo' last year. We would always see him going around town, he'd leave his shopping cart outside a taco bueno and by something very meagre. Some ladies were bantering at him, trying to save his soul and the like, and he sat there motionless and quiet. We felt for him so we left a $20 in the cart on our way to the car, our reasoning is that he might have needed a drink after being harrassed like that... or at least it could get the next weeks worth of burritos.

or the next weeks worth of alcohol, but that is still a really nice thought :)
