Becky Blanton: The year I was homeless

This speech sucks. Are we supposed to think she's amazing for shitting in a bucket because she had to leave her job and live in a van because her father died? People die all the time, it doesn't mean you have to freak out and become a homeless person.

i was homeless by choice for 6 months. i liked it. saved a ton of money and i didnt do anything but work. i didn't get depressed. every time i tried to engage other homeless people they were interesting and they really know what life is all about. try it sometime.

where did you sleep/bath?

truck stops, i worked at a hospital and they had showers, i also had a gym membership and there were showers. i slept at the hospital, at girls houses or in my car but i didnt sleep much for 6 months- all i did was work 16 plus hours a day and saved alot of money. i eat raw meat,eggs and veggies so i didn't need any cooking facilities and i worked near an organic food market - girls were a bit shollow about it but i still got with them when i kept them qualifying themselves to me. life was good

borrriiiiiinnnnggggg!!!!!!

Pat?

wow a autimated policing system, to controll "traffic" right,,,how bout electric cars?

This is more suited for Oprah.

there's nothing special about it... if she found that special something to tell except shitin in a can and pissin in a bottle ,then yeah, maybe oprah

Hope does define how an individual can live his current life in the best possible way,be it the 'haves' or 'havenots' but its action which has to be present to overcome all obstacles...
