i recently stumbled upon a local san diego site which has a weekly special on the homeless:
http://www.sdcitybeat.com/cms/story/search/?category=47&page=1
i've lived in downtown san diego for 3 years now (no stranger to homeless) and have ran into some of the dudes interviewed.
brian
brian is a local homeless that used to hang out by my old building. he is one of the more famous homeless because of his trademarked coin toss sign (as pictured above). when ive seen brian he is usually upbeat and talkative. he rakes in the cash too, as people (especially tourists lol) love his sign and attitude. i pretty much never give out anything to the homeless (dont want to encourage that shit) but i've given him a cigarette or two. he's always grateful.
J.R.
i know J.R. through a friend. he does odd jobs around town, usually involving cleaning up or moving stuff. he also bartends every now and then at one of the local bars for winos where the men are old and have no teeth.
in october i was desperate for some dope but my connections werent getting back to me. lucky for me J.R. was doing a paint job on a new business opening up nearby. all he had was some shwag but it was appreciated none the less.
urban life is fun xD

Am i the only fucking person in the world who thinks that dope = heroin? Seriously, call it Cannabis Sativa if you have to to avoid mixing up slang.

man, at least the weather is nice down there, san diego homeless have it easy compared to some other places. i always find it really hard to not give something to someone freezing his ass off on the streets in nyc these days

If you're a homeless begger you can rake in so much cash a month that you don't need to be homeless anymore.

I live in San Diego, in the Clairemont area. There is this tanned ass homeless asian lady who walks around barefoot everywhere and smells like cigarettes and dirt. She scares me.

this thread involves nerds getting angry over incorrect drug slang
|
SD is kinda dirty like that. Like a nicer version of Anaheim...but then again everything is nicer than Anaheim.
|
wait isnt dope, crack. im so confused.
|
Dope is used to refer to many things, weed, heroin, coke, opium, speed. To my ears it generally means cannabis though.
|
So where is this thread going? Thank you for telling me about some homeless guys. I had a bad run in with a homeless dude in downtown cleveland, the guy just started yelliong at me and threatened to stab me when I didn't give him money.
PS, also coming back from a cavs game we saw this one guy who had a sign that read "I;m not gonna lie, i want your money for weed."

Dope = Heroin to me too. The only people I have ever heard call weed "dope" anymore are people who used to smoke like 20 years ago lol.

I used to ride the bus, and one of my stops was at a pretty big intersection. There was one homeless guy that was always there, but one day I saw a new homeless guy. The first few days, he looked totally normal. He was actually somewhat good looking; clean face, short hair, tall, good features overall. But as the weeks went by, I slowly witnessed his transformation into the homeless look.
Not just physically, but mentally. Besides growing a beard, letting his hair grow, and not cleaning himself, his whole persona changed. His walk became somewhat sporadic, he would try and follow people around because I think he was lonely but never talked to them, just waited at the bus stop with them and smoked. And he would sometimes talk to himself. He was a totally different person months later.
It was an interesting transformation, I just wonder why he chose that life in the first place. He looked like he was in his late 20s, but by the end his face was all red (sunburned?), and he looked much older because of the beard and stuff.

Wow that sucks, what i wanna know is what happened to the first homeless guy? Was there a turf war between this new guy and teh old one?!
|
