its only been three days, but i'm sick of staring at that journal entry. you post something, expect people to look at it, nothing happens, life goes on.
last week i saw a beggar in front of the belmont EL. he had spelled "veteran" wrong on his card. i think it was intentional. i gave him my CTA card, which had 50 cents left on it. life goes on.
i saw a photograph of graffiti that moved me so much i decided to write the same graffiti (angels were astronauts)on the side of a payphone downtown. later, i saw it had been painted over. life goes on.

TIPS FOR TRAVELLING ALONE:
1. Don't groom any hair, don't shave, trim your beard, comb your hair, nothing.
2. Stay one day behind on your showers, this will give your hair a matted, unkempt look, and will put a greasy shine on your forhead and nose that says "I'm a MUGGER, damn it, not a MUGEE.
3. Dust up your baggage, it adds a nice touch to your overall appearance. Suitcases and backpacks are out. Duffel bags, preferably army surplus ones, and canvas sacks are the best way to go.
4. Dirty the bottom seams of your pants to give them the "I live in these" look. Wear a black knit cap in cold weather, it just looks like poverty.
5. Camoflage is great as long as they are not new military issue. Thrift store is the way to go. Even vintage, worn down field jackets are better than store-bought shyte.
6. In rough areas walk slow and comfortable, look at the ground, act like you live around the corner and are just heading to the store for a 40.
There is nothing more controversial than faith in God.
