The Homeless Man Called Me Sexy

Yeah... Seriously. Downtown Vancouver is a weird place.

Hobo: "Hey man, that's some cool hair you got there... WICKED... I mean that's really the new thing eh? Really SEXY, yeah, haha."
Chris: "... " (I did give him a hearty thumbs up while walking briskly on by)
Hobo: "... YEAH... that's why you've got a woman like that, yer hair!"
Chris: "..." (A slight nod and a smile, while walking away)
Hobo: "... YEAH... SHE CAN'T STAND YOU MAN, SHE JUST LIKES THE HAIR... HEUHAAAAHAHCCHH"
Chris: "..." (Sad face)

In the span of less than 15 seconds, one homeless man made me feel uncomfortable, then warm and fuzzy, and finally dismayed. In seconds, he gave me happiness, and then just as easily he took it away. Predictable homeless people... Yes, I do have some change; no, I'm not going to give you any; yes, I do think you should get a freaking job; no, I did not just get a god damn perm. If only every homeless person in Vancouver took the time to read my blog, I wouldn't have to answer so many stupid questions all the time. Well, I feel better now. How about you?

I´ve always thought your hair was sexy too. That´s why we´re friends.

Now if only he had said "Hey man, I can see Haidinger's brush in your hair... you can't have showered for a week!"
