thats how shits been forever though. its like doing the right thing is wrong now. it seems like it gets worse every year. its just like when people have allt his sympathy for people who go out and get knocked up at 16 and having the grandparents take care of the kids and shit. I have no sympathy for people who put themselves int he situations they are in

Let's review....

1) someone actually paid ATTENTION to a homeless person. Be honest with yourselves, how many of you avoid looking at a homeless person on the side of the road, knowing if you do and make eye contact then you'll appear a dick for not helping? I know I've done it before; not proud of it, but I have.

2) This guy has stayed clean while living on the streets for two years, that's an accomplishment in itself

3) He's getting a chance at not only a second shot, but also getting off the streets

4) He's also going to do a lot to help other homeless people

5) This guy wasn't asking for a ton; he even said he'd be "thrilled with a job paying 18K or 22K, anything to have a chance at a better life"

I find this to be a truly amazing story for all of those reasons. But, to each their own.

And Nick, seriously....we get it, you don't like me. Will you get over it already? Nobody finds you funny, your schtick is beyond old. And once again you manage to read something that I wrote and comment on it, despite me being "blocked". It's quite pathetic that you're blocking someone and then clicking "view this post" every time I write something.

He has already agreed to narrate a homeless benefit telethon scheduled for Jan 31, and I'm sure other agencies will reach out to him as well.
