Homeless but not hopeless

[MikdavmanParticipant 4]

Hello everyone, Mikdavman here, or just Mike if you want. Was born in Las Vegas, NV and currently living rough in Mountainview, CA. I’ve been a MGHOW since around the middle of 2011, when I finally left my mom’s house at the ripe old age of 22. I attended San Jose Job Corps for about 19 months, got a few certifications, notably OSHA, Microsoft, Customer Service, Sales, and Forklift operation certification, none of which I’ve been able to actually put to use yet.

I started working for the California Conservation Corps immediately after leaving Job Corps, worked for them for about 8 months but unfortunately got fired after an altercation at a wildfire with one of my female co-workers who accused me of touching her phone on one very early morning. Luckily I had enough money saved up to pay my rent for about 5 months before the landlord finally had enough of me. Actually, he was a total bro about it and let me crash for a week on his couch before I had to hit the road.

So yeah, I’ve been homeless since January 22nd, 2014 and I’ve gotta say it really isn’t so bad. I’m my own man, I’ve got nobody to answer to, and my mind is clearer than it’s ever been in my life. I’m currently writing this in a cafe that I often frequent (ie spend 90% of most of my days). The only really annoying part isn’t even hygiene (which is incredibly easy), it’s trying to find somewhere to sleep when it’s raining. Oh and people I do odd-jobs for that fail to pay me for my time. Missed out on about $500 because the jerk I helped move his belongings to storage for hasn’t contacted me. Could really use a new pair of shoes, mine are all but torn apart.

Anyway, that’s my brief summary of current events in my life. Hope you enjoyed it.

Regards,
Mikdavman

it is the karma of a warrior to endure the ordeal,,,”a warior only has his path the world does not insulate him… ” carlos casteneda. i to have been homeless for a long time.. i too have endured the ordeal and still doin it…. just rememember that anything outside of hunting and gathering is fraud…. houses and kitchens are for bitches,,, cause they just cant care for themselves…. our feminized demasculated society conspires to declaw and neuture us so we can be compliant slaves to the work a day life of wage slavery in homage to the bankers, realestate industry, courts, governments ect ect… when you are still strong, when your reflexes are still quick, when you are tough proud nobel, savage and fierce you will be gratefull you didnt live the flacid life of a typical yuppy suburbinite f~~. you are not home less you are materialy independent, you do not need the extravagant life support system called a house and a job,,, to be without these things is a great freedom…. to not need a permanant abode is to be truly cosmopolitan, ie at home in the world…….. stay proud and keep goin your own way.

@redradian. Very well spoken. Welcome to you both.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

@redradian. I’d like to think that very same thing. This experience is most definitely making me a stronger man. I’ll admit, at first I was a little scared, but now it’s basic day-to-day survival, simple stuff.
