So I normally think homeless people are really annoying. They try to shake you down for money, and usually are complete smartasses if you don’t give them any.
hp: Hey man, spare a couple dollars for something to eat?
ba: Sorry… I don’t have any cash.
hp: How did you buy that slice of pizza then?
ba: I used my debit card.
hp: So you do have cash then, you can just take it out of the atm
ba: I don’t want to do that.
Anyways, there’s this really awesome black homeless guy who hangs out at Borders all day and just reads books. He never talks or does anything obnoxious. He just reads. Now that’s what I call making good use of your time. He even has the good sense to hang out in downtown Scottsdale. In a way, homeless people can live anywhere they want, so why do so many choose to hang their hat, and set up cardboard box shop in seedy, ghettoriffic areas. I’ve often thought that if I were super rich, I would seek out promising homeless people…and out of the blue give them $10,000 for a chance at a new start. No strings attached. Sure, some of them would just blow through the cash, and be back in the same position but you never know. It would be like in Clash of the Titans when Zeus, played by Laurence Olivier… stands Perseus’ figurine upright in the colisuem when nobody is looking so that Harry Hamlin can fight and defeat the Kraken.
But, Laurence Olivier is dead, I’m not super rich, and I just saw they’re actually remaking Clash of the Titans which is depressing. Will Hollywood never run out of things to exploit?
Whoever came up with the dumb idea of remaking so many classic movies, and why are they not in front of a firing squad?
p.s. when I was a kid I had a Clash of the Titans lunchbox
