Instant Mood Booster

Today started off like any other day. Wake up late, rush to class, sit there angry about how your TA can't pronounce her R's, and rush back, passing the thousands of students with their sunglasses on and earbuds in. The monotony gets to you. After grabbing a quick coffee, I walk out, and meet up with a buddy of mine who is just chilling there eating a sandwich with a homeless man. Intrigued by such a sight, I sat and talked with them for a while. This guy was so happy that someone had taken the time out of their day to pay him some attention. It really helped give me perspective about a lot of things. There is always someone more fortunate, and less fortunate than you. Makes your problems seem a lot less significant. I'm sure I'll get a lot of cool story hansel's for this, but I just felt like I should share my experience and spread the good vibes! Happy day, NS!

Homeless dudes are great to chill with sometimes. They always have great stories too.

+K...i guess for many homeless people the worst part is being ignored by people walking by

nice move by you and your buddy

haha yeah he was a great guy. He told us that we were the first people to talk to him all day. We sat there and talked about girls and Bolivia for a while, he was just happy to be out and about. Pretty sure he was stoned, but he was a hilarious dude

or the fact that they have no money or a place to stay...

but to the OP, that sounds like an interesting experience.

homeless dudes are so tight, they dont look like it, but really, just spend some time with them, its not like they're gonna bite. just give them some attention and it'll make there day. I've bummed liquor from so many bums, and it sounds stupid, but they are so grateful for doing it because i let them keep the change and say god bless. a lot of people think they're just druggies or alcoholics, and of course, some are, but most are people like you and me, something just went wrong in their life, and you know that they wish they could take their mistakes back, but mistakes are only life lessons....

one time i was at denver post music festival and i was just skateboarding around and i stopped at a cafe to get a snack. i sit down to eat my snack and this homeless guys walks up (probably about 50 years old) and says that he liked my board. we started to talk and i invited him to take a seat. ends up he used to be a pro skateboarder back in the 80's. we talked for about half an hour. super interesting and i could tell he enjoyed having a conversation with someone who wasn't scared of him

youre a piece of shit. Nobody probably ever asked a homeless man if he wanted society, i bet if we ever lost electricity/society and had to live how we were meant to, off the land, the homeless would just laugh at how chaotic everyone is overeverything

At my school this week, we are having a social justice summit on the issue of homelessness in our town, and this sounds a lot like the stories that some speakers have told us. They say it means a lot to them for people they call "citizens" just to chat and be nice like any normal person would do.

Dude. If you ever blaze with someone who has a cold, blaze a j and make your fist into a big hollow chamber, that way the j only touches your fingers and you inhale through your hands.

Like this.

Homeless people who aren't the mental patients, drug addicts, etc. are some of the chillest people ever. They have so much time to think about life and usually have awesome outlooks on how they could have done it better and all that. Props to you for talking with him.
