Well, it's Sunday night. I'm tired. reeeally tired. And bored, so, I thought I'd post something on my blog. woohoo! I'm sure almost no one reads it, but, oh well. So, today was a busy day. I went shopping with my grandma, to help her find presents for my cousins. Good stuff! But...duhn duhn duhn....I was walking through the seabus the other day, and, I saw something happening that kind of pissed me off. And I didn't say anything about it, and I'm wondering if I should've. hmm. Anyway, I was walking off the seabus, toward the skytrain in Vancouver, and there was this homeless guy sitting in the hallway. He wasn't bothering anyone or anything, he was just sitting there, obviously trying to warm up since it was really cold and raining outside. He wasn't begging for money, wasn't really doing anything other than sitting there, and then this seabus security lady comes up to him, and tells him that he has to leave, he can't sit there because...I don't even know why. Anyway, I just thought that it was really lame...Where do people expect people who have no home to go? He started telling her that he just wanted to sit there or whatever-- I couldn't exactly make out what he was saying--but she kept on saying that he had to leave, and that if he didn't cooperate, she'd have to call the cops. He wasn't doing anything illegal--it's not like he was trying to ride the seabus or anything. He was just sitting there! I always think more about homeless people at this time of the year, I think because I'm always surrounded by friends and family, and, I feel bad for people who are living horrible life situations and have no one, and are completely disregarded by the rest of society. At least, they're disregarded in terms of being significant....They're regarded as people who aren't worthy of anyone's attention, really. They just get shoveled around from area to area, and they really have no choice. There isn't even an emergency shelter on the north shore, so, people there either have to stay on the street or get to downtown where there are some emergency shelters. I think it's really sad, the way no one seems to be willing to help out, especially during this time of the year. Really sad and pathetic, actually.
