Couldn't be happier honestly. I spend all my time reading books and writing and hanging out with old friends that I got disconnected from. Homeless life is the best for robots.
do you sleep in your car?

How long has this been going on?
Dumpster diving can't get you all the vitamins and minerals needed to live a healthy life.

It's as bad as folks make it out to be. Frankly, it's what you do with it. I make money and I have everything I need. I don't have to do the dumpster thing, though, and I have friends in CA who let me come over from time to time and wash my clothes/take a shower. And my income, interestingly enough, is actually better. As a line cook I maxed out on 10 an hour + tips, but with this, I average 15 to 20 an hour. Which is okay. I know I'm not the best musician in the world, and if I wanted to get gud, I'd quit smoking and take voice training, but I... don't give a fuck. :3

Yea I know, thats why I sold all my stuff. If I ain't gettin all I need from the dumpster I'll buy something.

That sounds fun desu. What instrument do you play? i'm thinking about learning bongos or just becoming a gutter punk singer
>>24822931
I play guitar, and I sing. I've actually kind of come full circle with it too, which is kind of bizarre. I ran into my old band, and one of their guitarists is leaving for New York for Christmas, so they want me to fill in for him while he's away. I said sure, why not. I already know half the songs they do.
And it is fun. But I'm going to be honest with you as well, it's a difficult life to lead. At the end of the day though, I certainly feel more satisfied than if I was making sandwiches for a bunch of fat fucks.

What kinda band you in?
You play in LA too?
Hobofag here traveled for a bit now back in hometown living in a friends van getting drunk and shitposting all day
Honestly is old been homeless for 3 years thinking about wagekeking it till i can get a car at least

I personally like to play folk punk and rock and roll, but the band I'm playing for at the moment does bluegrass. I'd like to say I'm not *in* the band, I'm a fill in for their guitar player. It's a goal difference. They want fame and limelight and millions of dollars - I'd be happier unnoticed on a street corner after jumping off of a freight train, so long as I had cigarettes and dinner.
We do play in LA, but I feel like they've been confining themselves to one area too long. I'd like to convince them to go busking in different parts of LA. The money is good here, but there's so much more than the 818.

>living in a van getting drunk
That is fucking awesome. I want to live in a van once I wagekek my way into affording it
>>24823420
Bluegrass or folk punk isn't the type of music to go big and get millions of dollars. They should be happy with food money and a place to stay doing what they like to do and get paid for it
