Little Old Vietnamese Man

2014-08-22T13:48:00.000-07:00

I was waiting by the bus stop to meet a friend for breakfast. This little old man came up to me and said hello. His eyes were leveled with my breast, so of course, he kept looking at them. He asked where I worked twice, and I told him twice I go to school. I told him I lived at the building down the street. He asked if I was single. Then he asked," It's been long time without a boyfriend?". I said a few months. Then he asked to be my friend, and of course, how do you say no to a little old man. He told me he was from Vietnam. He must have been at least 60 something. He had the light color ring around his pupil.

What is really funny, is that a friend of mine is usually with me when I am walking on Colfax and notices that men think I am a working women. In this case, I had casual work clothes on. I don't know if anyone likes this blog or at least has stuff like this happen to them please comment on this blog.

Comcast/Xfinity Bad customer service #Comcast

2014-08-22T13:44:00.000-07:00

Comcast needs to work on their customer service. They do not like to help with issues and treat certain customers better than others. They are so concerned with trying to get more money that they end up loosing new and current customers.

My friend was called and was convinced to sign up for Comcast service. He was scheduled on a Tuesday but they didn't show up. So the company rescheduled him on a Saturday. The tech came but visited another apartment then stated to his Comcast that my friend was available. So I helped he get rescheduled for another Saturday with a $20. Today's visit the tech comes and doesn't even try to see if he could get any channels manually. He just said to the customer "I can't help you because your tv doesn't work right, you need a remote, and we will hold your account for a month". I know that he could have made it work, but he clearly looked in a hurry and wanted to leave.

Companies like this one should consider what they do to each customer because you never know it that person is related to corporate or someone they know. I have worked for Dish Network before and know that the customer only needed to get channel 3. The tech could have easily found that channel manually, because I have had to tell customers over the phone how to do it, and started the service. Now that is one less customer that would have been paying with a messed up tv but would have still been giving the company their money.

As a note to some people using cable companies as their primary source of television, I cut the cord because of this same company and realize that I could just pay for what I want without installation fees by use of the internet for other television content and an antenna.

Be Treated Different

2014-08-22T13:31:00.002-07:00

Today on my way back from the plasma, when I saw this guy, Santiago, and he was asking home i'm doing. Then he started complimenting me saying that I was holla-able, and may he she holla. Then after a couple of stops another young man got on the train, I was starting to dose off when he starting talking. I thought he was talking just to be friendly, but he received a call, then he continued his conversation. I think he wanted to sound important. He talked until I got off the train. During my exercise walk, some guy in a truck drove by honking at me. I know he didn't know what I looked like from behind. Finally, I caught the bus to the store to buy diner food. On my way back some guy in a green car honked then pulled into Autozone, I shook my head no as he passed by but he still pulled into the parking lot. As I crossed the driveway, he asked if I wanted a ride. This time I had a witness, a lady pulling her shopping cart looked surprised and concerned. I just kept walking shaking my head. My significant other sends me ugly texts about growing up, being a woman, and wanting my attention. I haven't responded because. I deserve better, and if I want respect I have to demand it.

60 SECONDS THAT WILL CHANGE HOW YOU THINK

Library homeless

2014-07-10T00:58:00.001-07:00

I was told that one day in the later part of spring a man dressed in regular clothes walked around the library leaving money in envelopes. Some people he must have felt intimidated by because he would wait until the left for the restroom and leaving the envelopes under their books. He gave some $20 and some $50. I was si happy for them.

Meat Diassociation

2014-07-10T00:02:00.001-07:00

This story is to show how a some people can leave the Homeless community with by being housed but will not let go of the mentality. I have two friends that came from this comunity and both are living in their on place. There are certain rules in the Homeless community that can not be broken because it can be considered disrespectful. I lost one friend over some delicious meat because I broke an unspoken rule from that community.

I will start with my closest friend, who will be called Will for this story. Will and I have been friends for about 4 years. He is Gay, is employed, and pays his own rent. Will and I have a mutual sharing relationship. Whomever has more money pays and the other wull catch up whenever. He loves to eat so he is always trying to feed me, not just fast food but the best that he would eat. Will works a lot and doesn't spend the quality time like we used to. Sometimes I see him once a week but we always have fun.

My other friend we will call Joe. Joe and I have known each other about 3 years but never really talked much until the last couple of months. He has his own place but hustles for money and he doesn't pay rent. He makes just enough for his habits per day a fast food meal. Don't get me wrong he can make a good amount if it was routine but he is content with the minimal. We became close fast but that was ok with me because he has intelligent conversations most of the time. Joe pays for me when I participate in habit activities or a little food here and there.

I had started spending a lot of time with Joe, almost daily so I decided I would take the weekend off. I left him Friday afternoon to shower and get myself back on track. Will called after he got off work and wanted to meet up. I found out that he was bringing meat to eat. It was smoked and still warm. I bought dessert and we started the night. He left his food to help a friend but when he returned he was to tired to eat so he went home. Joe continuously called and texted all night. Normally Will doesn't like to reheat the meat so I was thinking about giving it to Joe.

The next day mentioned it to Joe that I might bring the meat but his response was,"call when you are leavin". I agreed but after he hung up some one came over. I then realized my phone was gone. I contacted Joe online, told him about phone and not wait on me plus Will contacted me and might want his meat. That's when the s**t hit the fan. Joe started talking about the third time and I should just be with Will. He went on for a while. This is still all online msgs. Joe mentioned that if I gave it to him it can't be Will's and im taking it back now. Keep in mind that I said I was thinking about it plus I hadn't left home. He ended with, "I don't want 2 c u. Please throw away anything you have of mine".

The Homeless community unspoken rule is if you offer something to someone you can't give it to someone else. In this case, I had explained the circumstances prior to mentioning the though. It should have been clear that there was a possibility that Will might return but it was unlikely. It should have also been clear that I was taking a break so there was a possibility I might not visit. Unfortunately, all Joe thought if was that he wanted the meat and I deprived him of his right. It is said that a person who could provide his own meat would rather server a relationship than consider that talk about the misunderstanding. I believe that the environment and community of the Homeless warrants a certain mentality to survive. Some people accept it a means to an end, so that when they leave they can leave it behind. Unfortunately, some people accept it as a way of life and believes that it will also work in regular societies. Please consider this when you think of the Homeless community.

Homeless in Denver

2014-06-25T22:55:00.000-07:00

I wondered how people really feel about the homeless in Denver and what do they think would help.

Low income recipients

This is a blog to anyone that has ever been in the low-income category in Denver

Drug deal gone wrong

2014-04-01T16:10:00.001-07:00

I'm here at the library trying to have a conversation about the Motorola G when I saw a drug deal go wrong. The addict was trying to return the drugs for money but dealer pushed him back. The addict was a still persistent with showing the drugs in hand to dealer as if to say, 'this is not my money's worth'. It continued for a while by a vehicle and finally the dealer gave in to addict. Dealer passed more drugs to addict but addict didn't give up. As dealer was getting into car, he passed addict even more drugs before he took off in car. I don't know about you buys but if you saw this in daylight would you a) call the cops b) tell addict you must be really addicted, or c) mind your business?

Problem with Homelessness

2014-03-29T17:09:00.002-07:00

People look at homeless people as being dirty, always begging, and lazy. The real problem is that once you get there it is hard to come out. People look down at you which lowers your self-esteem. You don't have income so it always seems like you are begging. No matter how hard you are looking for work, when they find you are homeless they immediately think you are lazy.

I was homeless at one time but work since I was 14yrs old. I did stop two other time but of course, I was pregnant and enrolled in school. I love being productive but don't know how to reach out to the world to let them know that being homeless doesn't mean you can't achieve or even have goals. How can you get there when everyone turns you down.

I wanted to come up with a website for the homeless in Denver to help them find resources to move them in directions to help themselves. This would be a lot of work but I would need help from several people to keep this information up to date. On top of this, I am doing a paper on the low-income recipients that are having similar problems and decided it should be one website with all this information on it.

Please contact me if you have any suggestions or solutions to help as well as questions, thank you for reading.

Meandering after hibernation

2013-10-29T19:12:00.001-07:00

I met a kid that commutes from west of Lakewood to Boulder. There are some drunks on the mall ride but they don't realize that they are annoying. This cute guy who is 25 is talking freely but I'm sure if he wasn't a good guy he would have ignored her.

There are homeless people that can do amazing things but just need that reminder.

Waiting for Bus

2013-06-15T12:08:00.000-07:00

I was waiting for the bus when some guy asked me for money. I didn't have any. I them realized that ma aube he needed help with his homeless situation. I asked where he was called can camped. He said 10 blocks down. I referred him to Jeffco Action Center but he said he couldn't walk that far. I continued offering places like The Rescue Mission but he was trying to get back to Aurora. His sister wouldn't accept him in the drunken condition. I then suggested a few free rehabs to get him sober but of course, he said he could get sober on his own. I finally realuzed that he has the desire to change but wasn't willing to do what wad needed. Some intelligent homeless alcoholics might turn themselves around. I hope for his sake he will think about what we talked about and change hus life.

Not Being Homeless

2013-05-13T10:50:00.000-07:00

We you leave the homeless lifestyle you start to become less associated with the environment. You start to look down at the people not helping themselves and want to pass them by as if you are better than them. I don't want that to happen. I believe if I start to focus on helping at least one a week, then work my way to one a day, I will remember that I came from this place. I flew a sign few minutes one day to help a friend but felt bad after seeing someone I knew driving by in a car. There are some people that sit on the corner by my street that I know have a place of their own. I want to help them but as long as they are begging for money I don't feel there is much to do to help. I want to start reaching out to them to explain there are groups, resources, and a better way to earn money. I hope this blog lets people know where I am now in my life and where I would like to be. I am a bit crazy sometimes because no matter how you try to remove yourself from your life you must change it to make things different.

Not Homeless Anymore

2012-07-31T14:14:00.000-07:00

I have finally got a place to live. I have been worrying about lots of people on the streets as well as my self. I feel left out when I don't go to the library. I normally go to the library see all the homeless people that I used to hang around with. I sometimes talk to them. I was there last week to actually help one friend with a resume. She needed a resume and I let her use my computer. While doing that I ran into a friend that is homeless that I describe as the sensitive talker. The sensitive talker what upset about another homeless person that is usually rude and talks trash to him. I told sensitive talker to not let it get to him, but he said it did because this time the guy snapped at him then threatened him. I told sensitive talker that sometimes people are going through things that we don't know or understand and they take it out on us for no apparent reason. Sensitive talker just went on and on about it, then finally got upset about his best friend talking to the guy about it and not sharing the information. He went on about his best friend and of course started crying. Finally, he stopped then left to go to his computer upstairs. I then check on my friend with the resume and she was still doing it. I then went looking for another friend but found the odd couple, that is what I will classify them as for the purpose of this blog. The women in the odd couple has a place but the man doesn't. The women has a mother that has some kind of condition that may be cause black outs and loss of memory. Her mother is older, maybe seventy. I advise to get her help or let your mother live with you and your man. Her mother can't stand her man and doesn't want to live in a facility that would help her. I talked for about 45 minutes. Then finally, I gave them information from online to help them and told them to ask if they needed more to let me know. I went back to my computer and the girl with resume was done and waiting for me to return. Then another friend came over and we usually have fun, I am going to classify him as sassy. So sassy and I were talking when sensitive talker came over again to talk some more about all the stress and things on his mind. He was supposed to be on his way out, his best friend was waiting and he just felt he could just wait until he was finish talking. Sassy, aware of what was about to happen, felt the sudden to go to an appointment. I wanted to see my friend the country genius but he doesn't stay around all the time. I can only see him occasionally. I hope things are well with him. I miss talking to people that I don't have to explain things too or need detail for. I feel that there are too many people I spend time with that are not intelligent but that can not be true. I think I need to just look for friends that want more and have morals with goals.

Start a non homeless adventure!

My Avon SiteI found that the only work from home business that was easy, provide for the community, and didn't cost a lot to get started was Avon. I sold Avon before and built a considerably large downline with the help of one of my favorite Avon reps, Michelle Bowls. She not only was my upline, but she help me grow my business the way all District Managers should. I still remember a lot of her skills she passed on to us. I think the most important thing she taught me was to be positive and don't allow anyone to still your joy. She had continues joy that spread throughout the company like wild flowers. I am glad to start again. The only thing I am doing differently is that if I help anyone to to get started I will make sure they use the power of three. It really works!

Homeless Helping the Needy

2012-05-16T22:23:00.001-07:00

I was on the bus stop waiting to go shopping when I heard a crash sound. Some items of this mans truck fell into the street. It looked like a boxspring and a couple of chairs, maybe more. As he struggled with the items, trying to put them back into the truck, two homeless guys that were flying signs on the corner ran into the street to help the man. I believe that all the homeless is good, but has had bad situations to put them into that community. There are rumors of drug dealers being among the homeless, what I have seen is that there are drug dealers that sell bad drugs to the homeless and intrigue them to sell for more drugs for themselves. Most of the homeless are depressed and take drugs to self medicate.

Taking Vitamins

2012-05-13T20:11:00.001-07:00

I was on 16th street mall trying to figure out what to have for dinner. I was talking about the that is going to eat too. To homeless women, one I already know, explained to me that if you are craving salt, you must have an iron defeciency. I explained that he takes a multivitamin and iron supplement. Ine said add vitiman c and the other said vitiman e. Eithor way, his body is not getting what it needs so he needs a doctor visit.

Another Drunk

2012-04-12T15:37:00.001-07:00

Today after taking a nap at the day shelter, I looked at my phone for missed calls. A friend of mine had called. When I called him back he said him and his boyfriend had got into a big fight yesterday and he asked me to come over. I said yes because I was going to sleep out. I went over, eat some food then took a nap. His boyfriend came in, dropped off somethings then left. When I woke up I went to the store to get dinner. I came back to his place cooked dinner then his boyfriend decided to gather things for their party that was supposed to happen yesterday. We ate then I got my things together for a shower and bed. It had been about two hours since his boyfriend said he was on his way when he called again to say he wanted me to stay at the boyfriend's friends place. She was going to be because she had to get up early. She was there from the first call. Now that it is almost midnight I have to pack up and leave. I might have stayed at that woman's house but its really to late. So I got on the bus and left. My friend called me after I was half way to my destination. When I got to the transfer center I caught a second bus. I got off the bus and realized that I should rude this bus to keep warm. I walked to the bus stop. On my way a drunk started trying to talk to me. When I told him I was good he said no you're not and called me bitch. I walked fast hoping he would leave me alone but he caught up with me and came directly to me. He kept offering me money, insulting me, and drinking his beer. He used nigga and nigger. He said he was a drug dealer. He said he didn't like black girls because they use him. But of course he wouldn't stop talking to me. Finally he went to a corner spot to relieve himself, he kept talking to me and got mad at me because I wouldn't look at him, so I walked away and the bus came on time.

Crazy Friday Night

2012-04-07T13:41:00.000-07:00

I was spending the night at a friend's house but I wanted a snack for the night. I wanted some cookies with milk. I waited until my friends came out of their room about 8:45pm, then left to go to the store. After I got off the bus, there was a women trying to walk fast. We kept up together until I reached to store parking lot. In the parking lot was some young men. The young men threw down a liquor bottle which scared me, but I continued to the store. In the store I forgot what I was at the store for. I remembered I need some hot chocolate to replace at my friend's house from my use. After I walked to the bus stop I saw a gay guy with a friend. They were talking about the straight one losing his transfer. All of a sudden a guy walking by with a look of an angry gang member. He turns around, comes back to circle the bus stop and ask the to guys what gang they were in and when the didn't respond he walked away with yelling he was "Northeno" something. A few minutes after that some guys across the street were pushing over patio furniture that was outside of a building. Finally the bus came before something else happened. I then went back to my friend's house and had my cookies and milk.

Little Indian

2012-04-07T12:46:00.000-07:00

A man that lost his parents when he was little and his will to live. He now lives at the shelter. He has a best friend that is very sensitive. He was not nature or loved. He now gets love from his best friend. He works when ever he can. He is about 60 years old and now that his friend unable to work, he works when he can to provide for both of them. They argue at times but they still get along and will be friends forever.

Chicken Day

2012-04-03T14:42:00.000-07:00

I usually go to Popeye's on Tuesday to enjoy athe chicken special with my funiest friend. Today, the chicken was to spicy for him and made him grunt like a woman that is homeless that I know of. We then left the chicken place to go to Arby's to get my free drink, using my wrist band. After filling my Mountain Dew bottle with Mountain Dew, when crossed the street to catch the bus. I was on the phone with another friend that was having man problems. After a few minutes we realized that there was a crazy person on the bus right behind us. We mentioned that we were going to a mall in another city when he promptly corrected my pronounciation of the city name. We then realized he was crazy. We got off the bus to wait for the next bus to trasfer to. The crazy person got off the bus as well. He walked around harrassing people and jumping in front of cars. We were thinking we should change our mind about going to that mall since it was the same direction the crazy man was going. Our second bus showed up and he preceeded us into the bus but he stopped to talk to the bus driver and we sat down. He sat at the front of the bus begging people to trade transfers with him since he had the 4:20 transfer. He then, of course, sat behind us again. He started talking about putting weed in the microwave, using shaved metal chips in the microwave, and stating the he was sober. After him jumping into our conversation again we decided it was in our best interest to get off the bus. From there we just rode around from bus, lightrail, to bus again until we ended up here at the library where we can have some peace.

Phoenix

2012-03-29T17:48:00.000-07:00

I met a guy that came from Phoenix two days ago. He sounds extremely intelligent but loves manual work. I give him information to get around to make him a Denver residence. He got rid of his sleeping bag so that he didn't have to carry it around. Instead of sleeping outside, he now sleeps at shelters to start getting a stable place. He is very talkative, he also said he had been down in Colorado Springs. I am not sure if he is all together. When I first met him, he was told that I worked for a satellite company. He used to sell subscriptions door to door with equipment for the satellite company. He stood there talking about that information about the equipment plus subscription for 20 minutes without introductions. Finally after introductions I was able to change the conversation towards lunch and how to eat out on the streets. It was in the evening when I finally was able to talk about other things. The day ended with him finally going to the shelter he needed. I told him I would see him today but I changed my mind about coming down to the day shelter where I met him.
