Daily Log

This will be the place where I will log my situation about being homeless in 2010 and perhaps a daily update.

Feeling down and don’t know what to do. There are jobs out there some where, but not knowing exactly where to get them, this place is a little bit different as to what I’m use to.

Check out places like Craigslist.org and other resources for work, most jobs wanting some one with a drivers license which I do not have or cannot get at this time.

Still at this house on my little apartment down below the basement where the owners of the house are living. I had not said a word nor have I paid rent this month.One person wants to buy one of my website and said after christmas and had agreed to buy for $500 and I am hoping that would pay the rent. I had not seen that person online, so don’t know if he/she is still interested.

Yesterday I went to a shelter to check it out and ate dinner. They had some spaghetti with rice? (only in Hawaii) some coleslaw like salad, fruit cocktail, a garlic bread without butter or garlic, a cookie with macadamia nut and a diet pepsi vanilla. I had one bit of spaghetti and just ate the salad and the cookie.

The shelter had a lot of people wanting to eat. Almost all had something wrong with them, I think I saw 1 or 2 “normal” people out of luck, the rest have either have a medical condition or have an addictions.

Two people almost got into a fight while waiting in line to eat when two Chinese people talking in Chinese and one white guy disrupt them by mocking them as they speak in Chinese. Push and threat to each other and name calling, but lead to no altercation after that.

Got up this morning to go and get a haircut wound-up at McDonald so that I can get change for the haircut, I bought the #1 on the menu, I got change for the haircut. Upon leaving McDonald, the barbershop was just across the street, but some odd reason I went towards China town and directly to Ala Moana beach park where I was yesterday afternoon.

Ala Moana beach park I guess is one of those favorite places to go, but it is getting old now. I dont know why I went there today as my motivation for the day is to go and get a haircut and see what they serve for lunch at the shelter, I guess I’m doing a research before actually being fully relient on it in the coming future.

I went round and round the park, I also had intention to go for a swim, yeah, that’s right, that was part of the plan. Skipped: #1 Haircut, #2 Free lunch and went directly to #3.

I din’t go for a swim even though I put on a swimming trunk and went in the water up to my thighs, but I dont know why I din’t go in, could be a little guilt trip. Guilt for the deserving the pleasure of soaking up in this crystal-clear blue lagoon, also the getting a haircut was still on m plan, I din’t want my hair to be salty I guess.

I don’t know how many hours I spent on that park, but I can tell I went in circle a couple of times and when I reliaze it, I notice that I really don’t know where I was going.

I decided to go back without my shirt, some how that felt good, some ladies give me a second look and some actually moved out of the way when I am approaching them with my bike, most of the time they do not give-way and sometimes I have to navigate in some bumpy lawns or potholes.

I probably really need to quit smoking and pump up get some breast muscles, because women loves a man with chest muscles specially if it is hanging out of the tank-top shirts. Women are like men, they look, they really look specially if I have a white tank-top. Something about a white tank-top that drives both sexist crazy. If I would have just worn a regular shirt like yesterday,..hardly notice. I should pump-up and become a gigolo for this older Local Hawaiian women. (joking)

Finally got a haircut which cost me a total of $15 (including tips). I can’t comment on it ’cause I’m at a point when I don’t care much anymore, just before that my hair was long and when the wind blows it messes up my hair style and I came to a point when I really shouldn’t care. My hair was’nt really long either, but long enough that I had to get a haircut.

In July, this older Vietnamese lady cut my hair and I looked like Forrest Gump, so I said (with a smile) to shave it all off, she didn’t see me as bold and had to remind me a few times and she was feeling guilty and reminded me that I wanted a #2. The side was #2 lady, but the top was #4 or 5 like Forrest Gump. Well, if she wasn’t an old lady trying to make a living I would have said something like that to her, but instead I smiled and said “it’s hot out and I have always wanted my head shaved” NOT! but it lead to me not having much hair in July and it was actually nice for work as it was a requirement to wear a hairnet and a helmet (I hate those two things).

Two months after the bold cut I went again and gut a haircut, this time it was near the house where I was living. I notice that they do a Barber style and that lure me in. Found out my barbers are two Vietnamese guys, okay, so I told myself a long tie ago to no more Vietnamese females or females for that matter to cut my hair, for some reason I think I reminded them of their ex-boyfriends and I always wound-up with a bad hair cut later.

Since the barber is a guy and I had always like the guy to cut my hair (This is based on my recollections of good haircuts vs. women cutting my hair ended with a bad ones, not all, but it has been consistent now) I figure I give this guy a try and the result was that I had short hair all over, but with a long-ish bangs on my forehead kinda like Squiggy from Laverne and Shirly. I suppose it wasn’t bad enough or I really dint care no more and just payed and left.

Turn out once it had grown I was able to have a nice side feathered hair style as that’s the way I part my hair and it work out after 6 weeks and I figure okay since it is close by and I really hate to try another place that will probably be just as bad as this one and went back. This time I got a Military cut where it is almost like a Forrest Gump, but thicker at the top, the forefront is not quite even either.  don’t know, either this people don’t know how to cut hair or my hair line is messed-up.

Note to self: Avoid Vietnamese haircutters.

For the past 15 years the people that cut my hair are Vietnamese and no matter where  I go, it is Vietnamese hair cutters, not that I have anything agaisn’t them, infact the girls are really cute, but when I keep getting this Vietnamese style hair-doos it is probably time to see someone that will take a look at my hair and how I style them and just picture it shorter, don’t try to be creative, because I don’t want to look like picture #9 name Doc Vu okay?

Been blogging for an hour and it is now 12 am December 29th, what does that mean? It simply just means that now is my Birthday, I just turned 41 and soon to be homeless. (Yehey!)
