I have never been to portland, am headed there, im about 70 miles away, on foot... gonna try to hop tonight I think...
anyways, I am sure I will find them but I think I would like to try to find a group of outside people to hang around with and make some acquaintances.... travellers/punks kinda type
I am located in Albany, OR right now however I would like to join the local 502 union. I have no transportation but I can make it to Tacoma. Or anywhere. I have no phone, either.
I am as blue as it gets right, but I love this country... anyways I saw some trump supporters business flying all their flags \... dont tread on me.... trump 2028... okay sure no big deal you do you....
But then I saw it... the american flag..... but half of it was the star of david.... I got infuriated....
so at about 5am still dark out as I was headed out of the god forsaken trump town.... i took that flag out of its post and threw it in the dumpster....
i am proud of what I did... sure I may have emboldened that old mans beliefs that "these damn libs are ruining this country" but you know what? if you love america, fly the flag appropriately... fly it upside down....
i was there for 3 days. They wanted me a year. haha no thanks. I was just exhausted and hungry when I met this dude who told me about it...
anyways, as im getting my stuff back... they hand me a check for the cash I had on hand when i came in (eleven dollars....) i said i dont have an I.D. I cant cash this check... they said sorry we dont carry cash on hand... motherf***er that CASH was my PERSONAL PROPERTY... why not just leave it in my backpack??? they dropped me off at the next town up.... didnt even give me any food.... very christ like indeed.... so glad I got out when I did.... at least I baicaly got 200 miles north along my journey...
it funny how the whole attitude changed about being so happy for me then as soon as i say im not doing this program anymore its a cold shoulder.... I'll continue living how "god" would want its "children " to live...
"good acts alone wont get you into heaven" cool idgaf about getting into heaven...
anyways just wanted to vent.... faith based recovery is not for me...
I know being on the road is lonely in general... i've been on my own for so long... I been houseless for about ten years but I am just starting to interact and find other travellers... I am headed to quartzsite for the winter to make money and meet people.
