cr0wl may be you heard this on this_american_life...

a story about a homeless guy who was mingling about a busy park where a lot of people were passing by him. and so he approaches random people, looks them right in the eye and tells them they can stay or they have to go. that's it. he says that to them and goes on to the next person. no explanation. the people basically ignore him.

but i have to wonder what i would think if he told me i had to leave. and moreso, how would i feel if he said i could stay?

unhinged sadly, i didn't ignore the wrong guy at a busstop and i regret to this day that i gave that guy the time of day. i watch the eyes. if the eyes are shifty, i look the other way. 090912
