June 1, 2011

According to the ever-reliable Wikipedia, about 1% of the population in America are homeless. I am a statistic. I blame Obama.

I am going to be homeless for the next month. A tent in the Lubbock "tent city" will be where I sleep. In hopes of taking the city of Lubbock, I've formulated a plan in which I will rise to power in Tent City, raising an army of indigent and marching on City Hall. I'm not sure what our demands will be, but blood will surely run in the streets. Stay away from the blood, fine citizens, the CDC says that Hepatitis and HIV are prevalent in the homeless population. There go my hopes of becoming blood brothers with some of these guys.

For this month, I will not have access to a car or stay with friends. I am taking with me a tent, backpack, and bicycle. Unfortunately, I was unable to take a month off from my job for this month so I will be one of the few homeless in Lubbock with a 9-5. Each day that I work, I will pay myself $10. This will be my only source of income. My expenses are listed at the right of the page, and will be updated daily. Another daily update will be the Sign of the Day also seen at the right of the page. In the interest of full disclosure, I have two trips planned for this month. These weekends will, basically, be weekends off from homelessness.
