The last few nights in my car have been interesting. I have been startled by people stumbling home at three in the morning, momentarily confused when garbage trucks rumble by at ungodly times, and woken up by the patter of early morning runners. This may sound unpleasant, but truthfully, I've been loving it. The cooler weather has made sleeping in my car really comfortable. It has the feel of camping, with my car replacing the tent and the street lights replacing the stars.
Today, I stocked up on a few hobo essentials. I went by Wal-mart and bought a windshield cover, a Ciesta Mask and a package of Hearos. I swear half the stuff at Wal-mart sounds like it is striaght from Mexico. Regardless, I can now cover up my windshield, block out any light with my Ciesta mask, plug my ears with Hearos, and sleep in peace.
I have a test in the morning so I better get going, but keep checking back for more updates and be on the lookout for the first set of pictures.
ADIOS!

Genesis
Hello world! I not to good of writer, but I is get better. In fact, I'd say this sentence is already an improvement.
I'm starting this blog because I have a huge ego and think everyone enjoys hearing what I have to say. After all, who doesn't love an obnoxious hobo?
Never mind. Here's the story.
After three years of living in a dorm and two different houses, I reached a tipping point. I was tired of paying hundreds of dollars a month towards rent and bills and not having anything to show for it. Simply having a place to sleep and store my stuff did not seem like a worthy investment. So I stopped.
I now live completely out of my car, not counting a small tote of things stored in my girlfriend Kerri's closet. I sleep in my car or on somebody's couch, and split groceries with Kerri. So far, so good.
I have my reasons for doing this, but it is mainly an adventure/experiment and a way to save money. With my current school load, I wouldn't be able to work, pass my classes, and keep my sanity. I chose school and sanity.
This blog will document my experiences as a hobo and likely provide some good laughs. In addition to the "hobo content", I will post random things that show the bizarre scope of my eclectic interests.
Until next time, ADIOS!
