Homelessness can kiss my ass.

[JMarz]

Lordy fucking lordy, what a past couple of months.

Been sleeping on benches, bus stops, tree houses, kiddy funslides, section 8 public housing, hanging 6'6 270lb drug addicts out of 16 story windows, and chillin' in homeless shelters with all of the meth head bums.

Needless to say I'm pretty fucking tired.

How's everyone been? Anybody have any experience dealing with this?

Kind of had it with life at this point.

 

[XnaySaturo]

Wtf?! That's pretty intense, man. What happened? And how did you manage to get out of it?

 

[JMarz]

Well, around November I lost my job. And since around February I've been officially 'homeless.' Ended up having to sell most of what I owned just to eat day-to-day. Allison ended up having a miscarriage (not to sound callous or uncaring but maybe it's a good thing..) I broke up with her a little bit after, and I've been backpacking around St Paul/Minneapolis sleeping in any park/bus-stop I could find. I did spend a week and a half at the public housing building in Downtown St Paul, and another couple of weeks on and off at the Dorothy Day homeless shelter a block away from that.

The present and future are unwritten, I'll try and stay alive so I can continue to bring the shreds

 

[Harry Hughes]

Fuck man, talk about fucking rough!
It's good to hear from you and that you've managed to stay safe

damn

Well my house burned down, i moved in with my uncle who kicked me out cause he stole about 80 grand from me on my grandmas will (i will see him in court), lived in a motel for 3 months, then a shelter, a week in a car then moved back in with my dad. Now I got a job (47 hours a week) and im moving into my own apartment next weekend. (im only 18 btw).

For me it just came down to stop complaining that everyone elses life is better, dont expect anything to be handed to you, and work your fucking nuts off to get what you want. This really doesnt apply to you at all. And my job, isnt all that luxorious, im working in a spring factory on a midnight shift bending and grinding springs from 3pm-1am. And I am still gonna put 100% into becoming an Audio Engineer.

I hope things work out for you brotherman! Best of luck

 

[Wolfeman]

Are you posting from a library or something? lol

Even homeless bums have net phones now haha


Really do hope things turn out good for you man. My buddy got kicked out of his parents house about 5 months ago, and no one has seen him since. Kinda sucks.

 

[FloridaRolf]

Why are you homeless? Didn't you say your parents would support you and the child (if it would have been born)?
That sucks big time to read, hope your situation is getting better.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Jesse, this sucks so much You fucking need a roof, a guitar and goddamn electric! I hope all things will be better soon.

 

[Jevil]

I remember your thread some months ago, it was very shocking. Being homeless must be very hard to bear.

What is your plan? I mean, you need a job. What do you do during the day? If you cannot find a job in minnesota you probably should move to another state or country and restart from zero.

Good luck, and keep us informed.

 

[SocialNumb]

Wow dude =(

Good luck man. IDK what else to say.

Indeed ... I mean, I feel for your situation and all but seriously ...why? Did you get kicked out? Self imposed?

 

[JMarz]

No, I lost my job and all source(s) of income. I wasn't able to support myself, Allison, and pay the rent anymore. So my roommate gave me a deadline and kicked me out. And yeah I've been looking for jobs like a MOTHER fucker.. I'm talking sending in a bare minimum of 10 applications a day. I've even caught myself sending in 21 online applications in a single night (about 3 hours time..) Trust me guys, it's not like I'm slacking at all. I'm busting my ass to fix this situation, and as long as I'm alive, I always will.

Shit like this just increases wisdom and makes me stronger and more tolerable to other bullshit my life throws at me. Know one thing, as long as I'm still breathing, and as long as I'm still around, there's not a single fucking hardship that will EVER bring down my spirits.

 

[Skinny Viking]

Why don't you just stay with your folks? I mean, its just you, you're no longer dragging around any kind of crazy baggage or whatever.

 

[JMarz]

Wish I could. They're both superparanoid old people, and on the lease of the apartments they're at, it doesn't allow guests whatsoever.

 

[Executioner213]

I don't know if you've thought of this or not...maybe it's not within your means, I don't know. Some hotels/motels/etc need help and are willing to eat the income on a room as part of the pay to help clean and take care of the place. Just a thought, by all means can you reject it if it's not up your alley. I hope it all turns out well for you, and I commend you for deciding to take this as a trial of personal growth rather than just wallowing in shit over it. Keep your head up, man!

 

[midget donkeys]

My advice is the same as I gave you about six months ago in another thread. Walk into an army recruiting station and join up.

Food, shelter, a job, a little money, free college classes, then the new GI bill for school when you get out. Pick a MOS (army job) that will teach you a usefull skill, like being a mechanic. This will help boat loads with getting a job as a civilian too.

Do not let them talk you into doing something like infantry because you think it looks cool. If you can't get your stuff together being a civilian now you can't deal with people shooting at you.

But you say "I smoke dope they will not take me". Wrong I have known several army recruiters that help fake the drug tests of the people they sign up.

But you say "I have a criminal record". Plenty of guys in the army have rap sheets as long as your arm. If one recruiter will not sign you up go to another recruiting station until one does.

 

[John_C]

Good luck man, hope you get back on your feet and find a place soon

 

[JMarz]

Thank you all for the kind words.

I was actually considering joining the job corps.. Heard they house you, feed you, find you jobs, clothe you, and teach you how to do a bunch of shit.

I've been self-reliant/independent and working since I've been 11, so the whole teaching part I'd just ignore with a shitgrin smile on my face.

<3 you guise

 

[Ola Englund]

Wow I can't even imagine what you've been through. My problems are a piss in the lake compared to this.

I wish you all the best and hope it works out for you and let us know how you're doing/feeling.
Sorry I can't give any more advice , I'm lost for words on this topic.

 

[Notuern]

Yeah dude, totally sucks.. i hope something pops up for you soon man!

Its when i hear things like this i am GLAD to live in Sweden(Where you have to WANT to be homeless to become homeless.).
