Investors

I am getting the idea to seek investors for my home cleaning business.

2004-02-06T07:07:00.000-05:00

Last night I had 2 AA meetings. I learned that I have some short-term goals and dreams and I am automatically enjoying Karaoke and helping to promote some Karaoke DJ's all via my Yahoo! Group. My ranter has hacked into my Yahoo! account and posted a rude slandering post via my e-mail address. Well. My group knows me and is not bothered. I am interested in looking into getting investors for my

I bought some Dayquil and Advil and feeling a lot better. Dayquil doesn't have alcohal so it is safe. I have to get back into meeting the Runs and will tomorrow night even if it is cold. I have been sleeping at the LIRR Waiting area in Pen Station and getting fine rest. I can do it as long as I have a train ticket. I can do it during the day too. Last night I went ot a Life Group and had a

Illigal Hacking

2004-02-05T11:59:00.000-05:00

I need help and serious advice. My Ranter has done some illigal hacking and somehow got into my e-mail account and e-mailed some friends and got into my Yahoo! Groups and posted messages. I am frustrated but I know I won't let it get to me too much. Can anyone give any advice on what to do?

A Grain of Salt

2004-02-03T21:59:00.000-05:00

Alcoholism is my disease and what I learn in the rooms are what I need to apply out of the rooms. One thing is dealing with everyone in my life. I cannot expect everyone to be who I want them to be so I have to live and let live!

A New Look!!!

Last Night

2004-02-03T11:18:00.000-05:00

Last night I gone to Bar None for Karaoke and had a good time. I didn't drink any alcohol and only had 2 glasses of coke and a glass of water. I really enjoy Karaoke and have not done anything of it since I been going to AA. It felt great and I didn't NEED to drink. There is a new Karaoke DJ out here in NYC. It is Lion's Roar Karaoke. They, so far, have 2 shows here in NYC. One out in

Cannot Worry

2004-02-03T07:35:00.000-05:00

I have to learn to just get work. I know places in Craigslist where I can get odd jobs or temp work. I have to just get work. I am not feeling all too well and I am taking more Advil than normal to suppress the body aches. My AA meetings are getting better and I just might decide on a home group and help myself manage my time more. Yesterday I had a GREAT topic meeting at the 6:45p

Damn my client!!!

2004-02-02T09:50:00.000-05:00

My client still canceled and got shady! Damn!! Oh well! Last night I went to the train early but woke up a bit in pain for some reason. I had a good 8am meeting. I am killing time until the 10:30am meeting. After that is the 12p meeting. It is still cold! I love Kazaa Lite. It has a new Kazaa Lite R version now! I love downloading and listening to cool music and videos!!! COOL!!!!

Sunday!

2004-02-01T20:26:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was anniversary AA celebrations for the month of January and today starts February. It was all good! I didn't sleep during the 10:30p and 12a meetings so it was great! I hungout last night at Westway Diner on 43rd and 9th after the 12a meeting and got tired and ate little due to no money. I had to have somoene swipe me on the subway with thier unlimited metrocard. I slept ok on the #2

I am tired!

2004-01-31T22:06:00.000-05:00

Since I have been going to AA in the late evenings I have been so tired and falling asleep in the rooms. Last night I gone to a friend's place briefly after the 10:30p meeting. I left him and met some of the 12am AA members and we went to a cafe and hungout. I got to the train and slept on the 2 train from 3p to 7:30a and I was tired for most of the day. I am about to head to the 10:30p and

Craig of Craigslist

2004-01-31T11:53:00.000-05:00

He has a recent post his blog that tells he had a chance to be on the original PC Team. I left a comment in his comment section that tells him he did great about being the founder of Craigslist and he should have no regrets. He is helped a lot of people who have had bad fortune in life and can use Craigslist to benefit something for themselves! Good going, Craig!!!

Poll Time!!!

2004-01-31T07:25:00.000-05:00

Would you give money to a panhandler or not? No Yes I would offer to go to a store with them and buy them food myself. Free polls from Pollhost.com

Panhandling Issue

2004-01-30T23:45:00.000-05:00

I do not give money to any one who asks on the street here in NYC. There are A LOT of soup kitchens in NYC to make sure anyone is fed and fed well. Crystal Evans brought this up in your blog currently and feels it to be discussed. What do you think?

Thanks for the Advice!!

2004-01-30T23:39:00.000-05:00

Thanks for the advice given in my last comment section. But I didn't comprehend the "yes" and "no" advice. Sorry. The 10:30p and the 12a meetings last night were tough to stay awake. I slept on the 2 train and got to the 8a on time. I met a guy names Mark. Nice jewish guy from Brooklyn but lived out in Dever, Colorado. He is visiting NYC on Biz and hired me for today to help him set up his

Online Business

2004-01-29T20:46:00.000-05:00

Since I am online so much I feel I should try to get some income. I see Kevin's blog has his Amazon.com ad on it so he can get an income. He can since he has a lot of hits to his site already! I know people would definately support him that way! I need some advice! What does anyone think? Can I follow that?

My Father

2004-01-29T20:18:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I e-mailed my pastor and he is ok to have me e-mail the link to my blog every now and than. I am really trying to deal with people's careless hearts and trying to be strongwilled and not give into my hurt emotions. The AA rooms have been supportive to me in so many ways I am greatfull for them. I love the fellowships and understanding. Last night I gone to my Mosaic Life Group at my

I am about to head over to the UES to my Life Group and hang with some of my friends. We sit, have coffee and snacks and discuss a few Bible Scriptures. I have to talk to John tonight and hopefully we have mended things and can just be good friends. I am not comfortable to talk to my pastor sometimes in person. We have to talk about somethings that I have an issue with but I just can't feel

2004-01-28T18:46:00.000-05:00

I am so full of desire to change my blog. Should I go back to LiveJournal? What do you guys think?

My Pastor

2004-01-28T18:45:00.000-05:00

I just got a reply from my pastor. He is a busy guy so he doesn't have too much time to read a lot. I just need him to know my days through this blog. It would be good to have my friend's, in NYC, to post comments to me too.

Cam's Blog has ended

2004-01-28T18:37:00.000-05:00

My friend, in Vancouver, ended his blog due to no longer being homeless. I will keep his blog in my "Other Blogs" section.

My Direction

2004-01-28T18:32:00.000-05:00

I need to get humble and TAKE ADVICE and do more to get my life in gear. Noone, in my life, reads my blog. Noone from Mosaic. That is strange. I am very emotional when I think of my friend's reaction to my homelessness. During church services people are nice and make me feel like part of the family and that is good. However, when I ask for help during a hard time in my homelessness I get a

Cash on me

2004-01-28T18:26:00.000-05:00

I have one dollar and one fare on my metrocard. I have to walk uptown to E. 79th and York for my small group from 8p to 9:30p. I will than get to a 10:30p and 12a meeting. I need to organize my time more better. I have to quit doing things spontaneously. Tomorrow I need to get my flyers done for my home cleaning and post them up on the Upper East Side. I also need to get to get a shower tonight!

AA Drama

2004-01-28T18:21:00.000-05:00

I hate when there are people come to AA and NOT have it be about staying sober but come and BITCH and moan! They tend to be Toxic!

4p AA

2004-01-28T15:24:00.000-05:00

Well. A jerk fooled around with me and that was cruel. Anyways. I have a 4p meeting to get to. I still haven't eaten anything yet.

2004-01-28T14:29:00.000-05:00

Keving is advertising his job with Amazon.com on his blog. COOL!!! He already has some good hits aday for people to support him. I would also like to do that. But I need advice!!!!

My Current Income - sad as it is!

2004-01-28T14:27:00.000-05:00

I only get paid $50 a week for a home cleaning job. I no longer work for The Karaoke Show due to it being only a marketing job and I you get paid on tickets that are sold. Even the performers are cheated!! I have to get my resume copied and my home cleaning flyers out there again. I am hungry and have $5 so I will get something to munch right now than post some ads on Craigslist.

Humility

2004-01-28T13:33:00.000-05:00

I am so pridefull and defensive when advice comes my way. I need to accept some advice. I have decided to listen, pray and deal when advice comes my way. I also need to do something new with my blog to help my finances. What do you think of me posting my current cash holdings? Would it help me blog my spendings? I need that advice. Today I will shower at The Habitat Hotel and buys some new

Issue With Crystal is OVER!!!

2004-01-27T09:27:00.000-05:00

Ok. I know I was upfront and made my words obvious about Crystal. She can take it and feel hurt or she can take it and grow! And I don't care for her commenters commenting in my blog because most of them DO NOT know her and assume things. So it's over.

DRAMA!!!

2004-01-27T09:25:00.000-05:00

I leave my blog over night and I come back and delete about 30 comments that mean nothing and are only from about 2 or 3 people and my own ranter. Some people just LOVE to rant but with no purpose.

True To The Heart

2004-01-26T21:47:00.000-05:00

I do not THINK, I KNOW, for a fact I care for Crystal. I told her some good advice as a good friend. Sometimes encouragement comes in a firm way. All True To The Heart.

Hey girl, What your readers post in my comment section and yours don't mean anything to me. And that photo of you with your mouth open does not effect me. What that just shows is your pride. I have to tell you again. I care for you and a HAPPY for your new home. That is genuine from me. I have no bad intentions but to tell you the truth as a real friend does. Some people in our lives

To Crystal Evans

2004-01-26T19:48:00.000-05:00

Hey Girl, You do have to understand that support from real friends includes firm truth. You need to be a mature woman and humble yourself. I did not say you are NOT gratefull. I said that you need to stop and give thanks and not pass that by or bad karma(your home being taken away) and you sitting there wondering why. You got your home due to grace given to you. You persevered with

Cam and Crystal

2004-01-26T15:09:00.000-05:00

Since they now have homes I have taken them off the "Homeless Blogs" section to the left and place them in the "Other Blogs" section.

Dear Crystal,

2004-01-26T15:05:00.000-05:00

I want you to know I am happy for you and KNOW you are a strongwilled woman. I know for a fact you are able to KEEP your home and never re-enter homelessness again! Sometimes I get told things that eventually sink in and later. It's called humility. My friends see things that I need to change and help me with the best intentions. They are NOT against me, they are FOR me! Some encouragements

Leaving Homelessness is a gift!!!

2004-01-26T14:53:00.000-05:00

I don't care whether anyone likes my words on this or not. But I am proven about this fact. If you don't take time, stop, know that A GREAT ACOMPLISHMENT has happened and NOT ALLOW your current problems overtake your gratefullness than you ARE SHOWING GRATEFULLNESS!!!! You will have projects and problems to work on ALL THE TIME!!! That is everyone's life!!!! It's that you can't FORGET what you

Hey Jonathan, This is from my comment section. "Jonathon, you had us concerned 'bout you over here. I'm glad it's just the blog and not something more serious. James is right, we need you around. Get back up soon." "Jonathon, I have your website!! You can do this too, but you have to hurry. Go to Google, search "homeless, disabled, alabama" when you see your site listed, click on "cached" .

Crystal Evans

2004-01-25T17:49:00.000-05:00

She has a mental condition. hmmm....she has just moved in her new home and is unpacking but there is a sense that she has not taken the time to be happy or celebrate her getting-out-of-being-homeless! I know for a fact that it is needed and if she doesn't, reguardless of her mentality problems, she will have back karma due to it! She needs to give appreciation and greatfullness.

Tomorrow I will make the Breakfast Run too.

Advice About Panhandlers...DON'T GIVE THEM MONEY!!

2004-01-24T12:27:00.000-05:00

Early in my homelessness I read from Kevin's blog that panhandlers only want the cash for booze and/or drugs. I thought, "ok. I will put a tab on that." Well. It's true. ESPECIALLY IN NYC!!!!! I never panhandled because that is beneath me!!! Well....no....in my coffee adiction(especially first thing in the morning) I have asked people for fifty cents! But for the most part I don't do it

Someone posted a comment that I have to flashback to the spring of last year. I became homeless in March but it took about a few months to learn how to survive being homeless. I became homeless due to a wrong I did to Carlito and Shari in Hoboken. I have mended our relationship since than and we are good friends now.

A New Homeless Blog Found By Jonathan(alabama)

From Homeless/Disabled in Alabama The Voluntary Homeless........ "I found a blog about a guy named Dion who is attempting to hike from Alabama to Quebec.

Last night I went to 2 AA meetings and a small group. It was good!!! I talked to my friend John from the Small Group and he is so cold-hearted and he doesn't care about it. Sad!

I think I need to cut out the 10:30p and 12a and just sleep by that time just to have a healthy time of rest. I went to the 8am meeting and I think the day meetings are best and I can do some other things during the night. I am trying to see if I can somehow get copies of my resume and home cleaning flyers done today. I am feeling a bit ill in my stomach and one of my back tooth is aching a bit.

I don't keep too much up on her blog because she goes off on tangents and manic rants. But she does exude emotions more than I. I hope for the best. I need to know if she does have her apt or not. I am waiting for her to reply to me on a post.

Good meetings

2004-01-18T20:06:00.000-05:00

I had some good AA meetings. Yes. It is a nice shelter and keeps me sober and so much hope. I will go to the 10:30p and 12a. I will be tired and fall asleep but I will be ok. My migraine is really in control and it feels good. Tomorrow I have to do some job hunting projects and get my resumes copied. I will also go and put up some flyers for my home cleaning. I feel good still about that.

I DID sleep good in the "2" train and my migraine wasn't a bother today. I served for the service this morning and was in a small skit too. It was fun. I ate at the soup kitchen on W. 15th st and I am going to the 4p AA meeting. I go there to stay sober. I

I don't know what to say to my Pastor. He did hurt me and I am not sure what to say. Well. I feel a bit better about my migraines. They seem to be in some better control. I just have to keep the water drinking and medication of Motrin. The 3 groups I made from 4p to 8p were great. I will make the 10:30p and the 12a meetings tonight.

No Coffee

I have decided to not drink coffee and only water. I have to still take my Motrin(ibuprofen) every 4 hours. I was just dozing off at the internet cafe and someone woke me. I feel a bit better to walk to my 4pm. I am allowed to ask for someones help for a place to crash. Several people gave me that idea.

Small Group and 3 AA Meetings

2004-01-17T06:49:00.000-05:00

I went to a 6:45p AA and it was good. Went to a Mosaic Small Group and it was great! I shared a lot of AA and me and it was beneficial. I went to the 12a but was tired. I tried to sleep on the #2 but it was cold. I only dozed for an hour because they didn't have the heat on. I am ok. Not bugged about it. I will eat at at a Saturday Soup Kitchen at 9am but I have to be there early. I hope I

2004-01-16T18:57:00.000-05:00

I gone through 2 AA meetings and I am going late to a 6:45p meeting than a small group on the same block. I am getting more care for my situation from the AA meetings than from Mosaic right now that it is giving me hurt feelings towards some people at Mosaic. I am going through an emotional time and it is hard. I will pray on it for awhile because God will give me the guidence to help me go

RE: Home and Job

2004-01-16T18:53:00.000-05:00

I have to stop being defensive because it makes me seem like I am doing it to hide something. I have to reiterate that do not expect me to explain things or blog things you want to hear because I am going to blog what I want to blog. I think I just might ignore the comment section for awhile because apparantly there are too many rude people. And also I have to clear my mind as I am going

Home and Job

2004-01-16T13:39:00.000-05:00

A.I.D.S. - Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

2004-01-16T13:05:00.000-05:00

I had to think about this and I had to mention something about it. I never had anyone in my life die of the disease. But I grew up with it being taught to me from a small child. What are the basics? Do not share needles and/or have sex without a condom. I do not have the A.I.D.S, H.I.V - Human Immune Virus or any STD. I am clean and always safe. It is been instilled in me since childhood! It

12p Meeting Cancelled

My Blog

2004-01-16T12:09:00.000-05:00

I have let myself get bothered by my ranter and I should not have. I am not going to delete his comments because he can't do anything. He has no proof and when his mind gets insane he goes off on a typing rampage. It is CLEAR TO EVERYONE he is insane. So I will just continue to blog and not let him get to me. IF YOU WANT TO ASK ME SOMETHING, E-MAIL OR POST A QUESTION AND I WILL ANSWER IT.

1 Degee weather and -20 degree wind chill

2004-01-16T12:06:00.000-05:00

Last night I was taken to West Harlem from a guy from AA. I shared my homeless situation and how I am coming back from being an alcoholic. This one outgoing guy sat next to me after the group and told me he wants to have me at his place for the night so I don't stay in the freezing cold. My right shoe had a cut at the bottom and walking over the cold icy slush caused my foot and sock to get

Thank you, Jim!!

2004-01-15T13:53:00.000-05:00

I went to a 10:30a and 12p AA meeting and got good feedback and shared. The people give so much sympathy and care. Let me tell you of something that was nice. I had no cash this morning. I went to the restroom while someone was sharing. When I came back into the room I passed by a guy I met a few days ago. I seemed to have brushed against him and he tapped me to tell me I dropped something. I

The Hotel

2004-01-15T08:16:00.000-05:00

Last night I went to my small group and talked to John. I realize he feels bad and was trying to make me into some sort of Science Project to help him feel better for turning me down on letting me stay over for a few weeks to get over the winter. I told him that and he got faced with it. I than got back to my hotel room and slept nicely. I feel better and refreshed. I will go to the 10:30a

Many of you know I have this ABSOLUTE CRAZY LOONY posting ranting comments and lies. Hey! If you want to aks me something, post the question and I will answer it!

Peter Pan

2004-01-14T14:58:00.000-05:00

It is TOO cold to do anything out today. With the money left over I treated myself to see a movie at AMC on the same block of the internet cafe. I saw Peter Pan. WELL DONE MOVIE!!!!! I feel I have to best judgement on movies and this should have been ACKNOWLEDGED WELL!!! I HATE how critics don't really see real movies that need the real fanfare. I have a 4p meeting than a small group from my

$100

2004-01-14T12:24:00.000-05:00

I gone to a 10:30am meeting and a lot of people shared some good experience. After the meeting I initiated a conversation with a guy I met at another group a day ago. He asked if I found a place to sleep last night and I told him I didn't. He told me he was going to get to me to give me some money for a room somewhere last night but I left a bit quickly. I was happy he said that. He immediately

IT IS COLD!!!!!

2004-01-14T09:50:00.000-05:00

OOooh! It is FREEZING ICE outside!!! I gone to my groups last night and it was good. Met some new people. Let me tell you. The shelters ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE!!! Some guys was pridefull to tell me the shelters "have gotten better". No they are A LONG way off of ever being "better". I slept last night on the #2 train and it was good. I did go to Brother Jimmes on W. 80th and Amsterdam for

My Tooth Infection

2004-01-13T20:37:00.000-05:00

Last night I slept better than the night before. My teeth didn't aggravate due to the listerine and pain relievers. I still cannot open my jaw to wide to eat well but I am not in pain and agony. Today was good! I did some job hunting in the morning and I worked from 2p to 5p. After work I got to my 6:45 AA group. It is getting colder and colder and I am a bit worried about when the "2" train gets

I Don't Beg

2004-01-13T20:33:00.000-05:00

I do not beg for money or anything. Last night I did state that I am homeless to my 10:30p AA group. They gave sympathy and friendship. We hungout afterwards and I got on the "2" train for the night satisfied. They already get me and I feel satisfied with them!

Let Me Inform To The Person Who Commented!:

2004-01-13T20:32:00.000-05:00

I am not writing to please anyone. I am NOT looking for readers either. In fact, I am SATISFIED with all the hits I am getting now. I don't care who reads or who glances. I don't see who reads because it does nothing for me to do so. I am a good blogger so don't expect change from me on this!

Last Night

2004-01-13T08:17:00.000-05:00

I met my Pastor yesterday at The Mosaic Office and we gone to Duane Reade so we can get some Listerine. What listerine will do is kill the infection in my mouth. Before we left the office I called a Moscaic friend about my homeless situation. Gregg has told me about this guy and he will help me. Not sure how but I will meet him. We planned for 2p. But I need to call and reschedule because I
