I'm back from the dead, rêveurs. I've posted new blogs in February and March and the beginning of April just as many times I've gone to the gym. 0. Anyway, that's all changing now. From what I remember I started this blog for myself, recording all the traveling I would do in my life this year. Turns out I need more money. So I changed it to the year I would volunteer my heart out.
I've joined Recycled Resources of Highland Park that give the homeless necessities such as clothes, deodorants, hand sanitizers, shoes, and lunch for the day once a month. So far this man by Lacy Park has always called my attention. I remember my mother saying what drinking can do because of the way his lips were pouted, but my mother never denied him money when she had it because she didn't know what he would buy. It all started out with the season of lent. I decided for every Friday that I would give up meat and dinner altogether, I would give someone a meal. I went looking for this man, and I either could never find him or he was asleep under the bridge. This happened a couple times, luckily someone was always there that needed a meal. It was McDonald's by the way. I was driving and finally found him! So I went to McDonald's, got him a 2 cheeseburger meal, and honked at him when I went back. He came up to my car so nicely and politely, and was so grateful. He told me that he would return me the favor when I needed it and that at least he doesn't steal or cause trouble. He's been trying to find a job. I saw his eyes and they were so peaceful --- something you don't get to see when you're at a distance. I told him he had nice eyes and they lit up with disbelief. He thanked me and I drove away. I had to turn around again, and when I did, he went back to his spot under the bridge, and gave the second burger to his friend whom I didn't see. He was probably napping. I now see my friend on a regular basis and continue to buy him some meals, but I still can't pronounce his name! I was told to wear something frequently whenever I see the homeless when I'm out shopping and stuff so they can remember me by that particular thing. I figure it's my little red Nissan.
Anyway, I went to the dentist today and he said I need a lot of work. So now the money I have planned to save for traveling in January for a couple months, has to go to my damned teeth. I'm actually thinking of becoming an actuary now to start off with some good money, but that's enough changes. I'm kind of bummed about my teeth, but even more so about not traveling to see friends. I still haven't found a job, I just don't know how I'm gonna do this. Might go to Mexico. Even the dentist mentioned this. I wouldn't mind either. It must be done.
All in all, my plans are ruined and put on hold. Unless I marry a rich someone in the next couple months, nothing will change. For now, all I can do is give to others who, unfortunately, don't have what I have. Good nite.
