December Rain, Soup Kitchen, Last Day in Town
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Hello guys, gals, and creepy internet stalkers. Sorry for no new posts yesterday but I got bit by the lazy bug. I did shoot a video clip and a shit ton of pictures though. I even got as far as getting them uploaded to my YouTube and Flickr accounts, but just could not motivate my hobo soul to do a blog post for you.
I have now been successful in sleeping in Illinois States Milner Library for three straight nights. If I can pull off operation look like a stressed out student catching a nap while studying for finals one more night, all will be well. Sleeping sitting up in a cubical is not without its risks however. Both my arms are a bit sore from sleeping on them. In tragic news Blackies headphone adapter broke last night. Amazon sells them for only $.95 though. If one of my readers would like to bestow a new one on me as a lavish x-mas gift feel free to e-mail me or drop the money into my paypal account, via one of the many hidden donation buttons on the site!
Did not do anything very productive yesterday, I am after all a hobo! I went to a local soup kitchen for lunch. Loaves & Fishes operates out of Saint Marys church in Bloomington, IL and offers a hot lunch to the public on Tuesday and Thursday of every week. Yesterday I stopped in and enjoyed a feast of hot dog stew, bread and butter, celery, a banana, and some cake. They where also kind enough to give me a carry out bag with a few doughnuts in it. After that I stopped by the Bloomington Public Library to take some photos for a post about the library I may or may not get around to doing. You can view the photo set here. I then stopped past the Compassion Center for a free shower and snack. While there I won a game of chess, how exciting. After that I pretty much just came back 'home' (ISU Library) and played around online. I managed to find a quite stairwell to watch a bit of TV on Blackie. Not having a working headphone adapter cramps my style since I now have to watch stuff using the external speaker. After that I got some sleep. So goes the life of us traveling hobos. Below are some pictures and a video from the soup kitchen.
Yummy free lunch!
People enjoying the lunch.
Not the best video, because I was trying to shoot it on the downlow.
-“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”-
