What do bums do?
    #14077399 - 03/06/11 07:30 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I mean like FULL-OUT homeless dudes who walk around dirty and shit. Are they secretly buddhas or something? Are they ignorant? I don't get it. :narc:

why don't you ask one?

if you're like most people you'd probably become homeless before you did that though

They make poor decisions that stack up upon each other until it's hard to see a way out. It could happen to anyone really, though most people would eventually find a way out through friends or family. That, and mental illness.

The biggest commonality among the bums that I've talked to is that they all seem to feel that someone owes them something.

they usually have drug problems or mental illness, a lot of them have both. The people with drug problems kind of just get spare change and buy teenagers liquor and cigs. In rough weather all of them get under a shelter in parks and drink and chill.

The ones with the mental illnesses are pretty much the same, cept that can talk a lot crazier shit.

Then occasionally theres homeless people like this

Homeless people are almost always people who were denied the chance to live the "normal" life of being shackled with property.

This can happen a number of ways. Family problems, intellectual difficulties, "mental illness," drug addictions, etc.

There are also people who are homeless by choice. These are mostly hippies and I've seen some who are like Jedis at the art of homelessness.

they find ways to get high. Junkies spend the majority of their day trying to find ways to make money(pan handling,robbing, shuckin cack etc). drunks find enough to get drunk and black out.

it's usually either circumstances beyond their control, substance abuse problems, mental illness, lazyness or just not caring anymore.

I have a lot of experience with homeless people,  my city has tonnes, and i have a few, particularly one really good friend who is down with most all of the hobos in the city and was homeless for a while herself. 


Basically these are the main reasons i have observed who people are homeless:


1. They often reject "society" or "the system" "the game" or whatever you want to call it and have a hard time boxing themselves into how "society" expects them to think and act, and trouble contributing their energies to said corrupt system. 

2. They are often naturalists; some of them enjoy living outdoors and foraging etc.

3. Drugs; Sometimes they're just too strung out to hold a job and have sold all thier shit for drugs.

4. Mental and emotional "problems;" sometimes they have a sort of Post traumatic stress or conditioning from their earlier life; bad families etc. and have a hard time coping while also maintaining employment and rent. 

5. Government aid; some of them are "bums" because they can survive on government aid.



Mostly though, from my experience it is usually 1. 2. and 4. Drugs are often a way to cope with 4. and 1. and boredom.

There is also a certain "hobo culture" which some people find attractive and inviting.

And lastly, some have just had a run of bad luck.  They are sometimes "normals" or "squares" or whatever who have just lost their wife to a car crash and lost their job/house because of resulting depression or some similar story.


Some feel deep horrible shame, loneliness and depression for where they are in life too, and just can't muster the will and/or nutrition to tackle the task of getting back on their feet.

The ones I've talked to lead pretty colorful lives actually.  We've got a homeless epidemic here in Austin, anytime you're downtown they are everywhere.

They're not all skeezballs though.  When I was a working musician, there was this one homeless man that would show up on time to all of our in town gigs and help us load/unload equipment.  Threw him some cash, thanked him in the liner of our album. If we were feeling very charitable we'd take him home, let him shower and have a decent meal.

Then there is this guy, the unofficial mayor of Austin.  Leslie Cochran


He's a hobo here who has "made it" I suppose.

Not really related, but this homeless guys story is amazing



--------------------
December 1960:
"They took the drug one evening at Leary's house and had a profound experience, during which Ginsburg prophetically realized that it was a time to start "a peace and love movement". He then ran naked around the house, attempted to get Kruschev and Kennedy on the telephone and announced to the operator that he was God."

drugs + realizing societies bullshit + not conforming to it, thusly not following the rules

it is a pretty "dharma bum" sort of thing most of them are pretty zen, some are scary and aggro though

I think it's easier to become homeless than a lot of people realize. I mean just imagine that you have no family or friends, and you lose your job, or are plunged into debt enough that you can't support yourself, you go to jail and just have a very difficult time trying to get a job in a certain town and economy, etc etc etc.

I used to live in the gheotto part of town and I delivered a paper, so I ended up talking to a lot of bums, some of them are the stereotypical types with psychological problems or drug problems, but there were ones I knew who were some of the nicest fuckin people I met, and they were organized and disciplined and everything, but they just got royally fucked over, and there were at least as many of those as the other types

ive known people who dropped out of college to hop trains and live on the streets. they were very intelliegent people, most of them werent even on drugs. to them it was a "mission" of sorts.

shit i have a ghetto mart by my house and in high school we use to get beer from this place and talk to the local drunk bum who lived in the parking lot next door. to be honest, some of the best talks ive ever had in my life were with this guy. he was a physicist who worked in the island of somatra and he got addicted to heroin. he lost it all and turned into a rambling drunk when the streets became his home. tho he didnt look like much, he was smarter than a lot of the people ive met. he would always talk about the carziest shit.

i remember one night me and some friends brought a bunch of liquir out to the ghetto store and we lined up 5 bottles of booze on the curb. my friends and i, the homeless guy and one of his friends all sat out there for like 5 hours talking and having laughs. to this date, it was one of the best nights ive ever had.

for the record, the guys name was "boogerman." keep it real claude, wherever u are:super:

Perhaps homeless people are fighting against the system and refuse to be slaves to society and ironically drop out and become dependent on it...
