-- Nothing is quite like truly helping make someones life a little better...
Even if it's only for a week.
There's a homeless guy that walks around my area - a lot.
He pushes a shopping cart loaded w/ winter survival stuff and other bull shit.
I've joked w/ the QT employees and I refer to this man as "Busta Crimes"
But anyhow today i saw him and my heart gave in - as it's getting pretty cool for Atlanta, this afternoon.
I talked to him for the first time today and asked if he was hungry - as tactfully as I could w/o insulting him.
I went to QT which was a block away - bought him a $40 in qt gift card dollars. I almost felt like crying doing all of this - he said 'thank you for your blessing' I told him that I TOO was blessed and nobody will go w/o food if I can prevent it.
I then asked him if he was cold - he said yes that some of his blankets needed to see the cleaners - I told him that I'd BRB - and I went home and got about three high quality blankets and three Sheex pillows that are/were queen sized.
I feel really blessed and I hope you all have a good week, next week.
Pardon any typos - I actually have a date to Chequers which is a Gilbert Robinson Bristol Bar&Grille clone.
Take it easy!
