I did something nice for a homeless man. (Real story)

[Safeway]

Okay, this is not related to my Obama thread.

I was at the University Co-op a couple of days ago buying some Prismacolors. The Co-op is the main retail store that is affiliated with the University of Texas at Austin.

I walked outside onto Guadalupe, and saw this mangy homeless guy drawing portraits. He was using this 1.5" long crappy pencil and was producing very good portraits. I was amazed. Anyway, I turned around and went back into the store.

I bought a set of various sketching pencils, 6H to 6B, high quality. Pencils are cheap, and with my discount, they were like $3.10. Went back outside, and the guy was gone. I was more disappointed than anything else, so I started walking back to my apartment.

Bam! There he was, sitting down at Pita Pit. I told him that I noticed him sketching with his depleted pencil and handed him the set of new pencils.

At least he is trying to make money by offering a product and not straight up begging. Who knows what he is trying to buy, or if he begged immediately afterwards ...

Actually, the Pita Pit is an Austin-original business.

Now he is going to stab someone to death with your pencils.

Pita Pit has some good food. I got to originally try it when I was in DC for vacation. My girlfriend and I walked into the one college building in GWU looking for food.

Fuck those bums on the drag. I was pestered by them for 2 years straight everyday, them and the god damn Scientology building.

"Nope, can't. They're all full of our own heads. Would you like a free personality test?"

lol. i'll do that the next time. sounds funny.

ps. its kinda unfortunate that with all the crap volunteer work and donations UT students do (i mean who the fuck cares what happens a bazillion miles away, yes i'm talking to all you dumbass darfur/china protesters, when people in your own back yard are starving) nothing is done to help the drag rats.

having lived in west campus for has shown me these people live incredibly hard lives, suffering cold and rain and all other natural misfortunes.

Did he punch you in the weiner for giving him pencils instead of money?

that's pretty cool.

one time my buddy and I were downtown in T.O. and this bum asked us for a smoke, so we have him a few... he told us it was pretty obvious we were from small towns. lol
