Rough Living: An Urban Survival Manual
They say that most people aren’t much more than a paycheck away from being homeless. Look what happened to the people in New Orleans when Katrina struck. It can happen to anyone. Even you. I didn’t want to be caught by surprise. So in 2000 I moved into my car and set out to learn what it takes to survive the day to day world of the United States without a steady income, without a home, and without most of what a lot of people think is essential to their lives. This book isn’t about how to live in public restrooms or how to steal muffins. This is a book for people that find themselves outside of what is normal in the United States and the rest of the world. This book is about surviving with much less than you think you need. It’s also about getting past the part of life you are stuck on and getting into the part of life you have been waiting for. Rough Living is what I learned from being homeless.

Travel
There are places where the roads don’t go
Where the dead woods grow
On, through the sun
And on, through the sun
To where the roads don’t go. -

Categories and Structure
It has always bothered me that I have a website called “No Categories” and yet its contents are still arranged categorically.

Bin Laden Is Dead
Nevermind the news you’ve been hearing about weather and partisan arguing. Disinformation reports that Osama bin Laden died four months ago. If the report is true, this time, he died a free man.

Bum
I’ve got a trash bag
Full of pretty metal cans
I’m savin up for my birthday.
I want a lunch box
Full of lots of nice cigars
I’ll run away someday
but not to far.
I says I can’t stay
but you know I’ll never goes
I wears the place like its my clothes
Says, just a bum, there’s something wrong with him
We’re sorry but [...] -

Toys
Toys in the hands of God, we are,
Broken in the boyhood boxes
Tangled up in goldie lockses
And, like girls in church
We can’t help but laugh
At the things before us. -

Bear Costumes
Last night, in my neighbors apartment, we wore these bear costumes that came from the thrift store. They’re full-body costumes, like the Disney Characters have, but cheaper.
