Homeless in Venice eh...

Do you know how to answer the question "where you from"?
Do you know how to use a knife, or better yet, how to defend yourself against one?
Can you tell a gangster from a hip-hopper?
Do you have a taste for tweak?

Let me guess... you live in a suburb of a small midwestern city right?

Here's a tip: LA is the real deal. Big city. It's no joke. You just might end up dead out on the streets of LA at night. It happens.

This is either a troll post or the most naive idiot capable of finding the Internet.

And basketball and hanging out on Venice Beach? Did someone just watch White Men Can't Jump?

You are too immature to move anywhere on your own by the way your wrote your post lol. You'd either cry your way back home or be killed by another homeless person.

How is it living life by being homeless and playing basketball in the park?

Why dont you go to community college once you get to LA and maybe play basketball for the school. Also, there is work study and most JCs have employment offices that will help you get a part time job. You can also apply for Financial Aid to pay for your school and get you some extra cash.

I just cant for the life of me figure out why you think that what you've described is 'living life'.

It really isnt. There's so much more for you out there.
