An open letter to homeless people

Hi there. You must be homeless if you are reading this. If you are, please note that the logo has nothing to do with my open letter to you. I just think it is a KICK-ASS logo.

Here is what I want to say this evening in my open letter to you, oh sleepers of the alley behind my building:

I realize you have it worse than I do. After all, you are homeless, and here I sit writing this blog entry.

THAT SAID, I have to remind you that stuff sucks all over more than usual right now. Don't assume anything about anyone.

That great new car I'm driving? Um, it is a rental. Say it with me: RENTAL. I am driving it because my car is dead and I have to get to work or else. There is no mass transit to the sprawl village where I am employed.

Just because I am driving a rental doesn't mean I can afford it.

Again, you have things worse, I do understand. But I'm not listing everything that is going on in my life for the world to see, so just assume there is other stuff going on that prompted me to write this open letter to you.

Please know that I was a bleeding heart liberal up until about last year.

And I still believe you should not be homeless.

I'm just saying things are not as they seem right now for anyone. Including me.

So FUCKING BUG OFF! Don't ask me for SHIT right now! Cuz I'll BITE YOUR HEAD OFF AND SPIT IT BACK AT YOU!!!!

Whew. Feeling better now. Please know that I will still call the cops when you get beat up. And I will still bring my ferret down to comfort you. And I will still let you talk me out of my food. I was just upset there for a minute because one of your buddies talked me out of my food and I thought it was for you. So ... let's resume our friendship now. The BITE YOUR HEAD OFF was really for that other homeless man who says he is your friend. I only want to bite his head off because he talked me out of my food. Not yours. I would never do that!

Peace out.

Jeanie
