As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt

Wow, I was just thinking about you the other day. Hadn't seen you post in a long time. Sorry to hear you're in a bind. Can't make it there this time. Wanna tell us what you've been doing, and what happened? Alot of the guys here seem to frequent that area. I hope one of them stops and helps you out.

Hobo

OMG what happened to you? Good luck to you. That Flying J on 45 north of the city is a POS. If I was in that part of the country I'd give you a lift, but I'm sitting at the Flying J in Eloy where I meet you last year. Take it easy.

What happened??
Did you lose your truck or something?
Did you leave it running at the fuel island, and went inside, came out and it was gone??
I'd come by and get ya...but that's a pretty good drive. Houston is way down south of the globe.

Wow what a response! I've been out of a truck for a few months, O/O I used to drive for told me he was getting a truck ready, so I started hitching down to San Antonio from PA. At the Loves in Katy, TX right now. Getting OUT of Houston was not easy... My blog will say it all shortly, I am about to write to it.

What is so sad?

I read your blog and let me get this straight:
You decided to become homeless and bum around America thru truck stops and hang around drunk, high, off ramp champs?
WTF is wrong in your head? LOL Never mind. Don't even bother answering that cause I don't care.
I would say good luck but not this time. You are there by choice. That just solidifies my opinions about homeless beggars, they are there by choice and I am not going to give to some one who does not want to help them self.

Please disregard that if you are on some mission to make a movie or get famous or have some reason for doing this other then you just don't want to work and pay taxes for a living. LOL

Otherwise, youo done lost your ***ing mind LOL

"My goal is to live a simple life according to my beliefs

Interesting that your "beliefs" include stealing from hard working people.
