gems

There's a homeless guy who hangs out around the area that I catch the Presidigo shuttle each morning. He's pretty filthy and seems to have zero fear of cars since he will frequently stand out in the middle of the street and speak to the invisible people he counts among his friends.

Usually, he's pretty tame. He mumbles to himself and his 'friends.' Sometimes he even picks up trash off of the streets and throws it away in the nearby trash can. But not today.

Today he was pissed. Here's what he was yelling:

"NO! NO YOU'RE GIVING ME 'LISTENING EAR'!!! NO, THAT'S 'LISTENING EAR'!!!!
I ASKED FOR 'HAPPY DAY'!!!!!!! THIS KIND OF CRAP IS GOING TO SHUT THIS WHOLE BUILDING DOWN!!!! NO. NO!!! THAT GOES IN THE INCUMBENT BOX OF MR. AMERICA!!!"

Poor guy. Clearly he's having a bad day, and maybe reliving whatever bad day it was the got him out on the street. It's a shame no one game him "Happy Day."
