So, Ray's homeless now. And from what I can gather, homeless shelters are kinda like
jails. You can't have your phone overnight, it's got to be put away in a bag - I'm guessing like they
do at concerts? And you can't charge it ready for the morning. I think he's in a library in this
video but the previous one he was wearing a mask so I guess the shelter makes people mask up?
Even without all those bullshit restrictions [there are more he's mentioned, I can't remember them
all] the whole homeless thing - I couldn't do it. Walk around all day? My skateboarding-damaged
joints would never allow for that. Not to mention being out in the elements. I'd just fucking
kill myself. It would really be the only way. I'm no diva but I wouldn't even try to keep living
under those circumstances. Fucking WHY?
My man Rusty about to invade old MEH-hee-co.
Never heard of not being allowed to have a cellphone in a homeless shelter. The bastards kept me awake with their damned phones when I was in one.
Idk man, this is Ray after all. Unintentional embellishments may be part of the package.
Shelters also may differ from one region to another. I think he's in KC, MO.

Ah, you can't look at it that way.
I learned from watching Zane Greene and reading about Peace Pilgrim that sometimes you just gotta be willing to duck off in a random bush and call it a night.
Something happens and a switch gets flipped in you...
Not only could you do it, but you may find that it's one of the greatest experiences you've ever had.
Of course that isn't to say it'd be a "good" experience all around in the moment...
But once you'd lived through it and had it behind you, there would be times you'd look back on it and marvel at your ability to survive.
Makes a good story.
As for Ray, he's taking the urban homelessness approach...
It's kinda like prison-lite.
He should just "walk across America" like some of the "free spirits" we've encountered on YT over the years...
Take 6 or 8 months to do it and rest a lot along the way.
Vlog the whole thing and get that YouTube money.
Ironically, Ray probably isn't sane enough to do that though.
There is good reason wild animals stay away from humans, most all of you are just mean motherfucking assholes
They watch from the hills waiting for you pricks to kill each other
Life is survival with a thin veneer of civilization plastered over it. It's not wise to get too comfortable.
Beautifully stated, Dev, holy mackerel.
You straight touched my heart 'n soul with that.
Come sit on my lap, and I'll touch you in some other places.
I have some good news, darling. My Social Security back pay finally came in, and I only have two days of chemo and radiation left. I'm already shopping for furniture for my new place. (See the Imgur thread.)

ZIIIINNNGGGGg.
With all the digital-this and AI-that, it's really the only fitting conclusion.
Ahhh, the mid-90s. Nothing else quite like 'em.

He's a really nice guy and really good at YouTube, he's the OG viral interview/documentary guy.

Bob Ross marathon stream this weekend. One thing you notice whilst binge watching that wasn't obvious from seeing one episode a week on PBS is that the script is almost verbatim the same in every episode.
They showed some paintings of his during intermission that are a thousand times better than anything he taught on TV. He wasn't just a method painter.
SOFT FLUFFY LITTLE BABIES!!!
I'm beginning to think this isn't just edgy performance art anymore. : (
Also, Ray, if you stumble upon this, enable your fucking comments motherfucker
so we can at least break your fucking balls now & then!!
