One thing that tires me out, is having to deal with the less fortunate. Now I don't mind them asking me for money or whatever, thats fine. But when I say no, then leave it at that. I guess just because of the colour of my skin I must have money! It really gets annoying. Now JP I don't mind, JP is one cool cat, he genuinly regards me as a friend, we played football together, and I've helped him out where ever I can. But he doesn't ask for anything. When his er...friend asked for money he jumped on the bandwagon, obviously money is tight and all. But the other time his partner asked, I said I didn't have anything and I appoligised. JPs responce restored my faith in the dude. He said, "Its cool Bru, you don't owe me anything."

Now it seems to me that for alot of homeless people who ask you for money, they seem to think that you do owe them money. I remember being sworn at on more than one occasion, because I didn't want to give them money.
A couple of days ago, my father was outside working on the scooter when a dude walks up and askes for a sandwich, so my dad goes inside and makes the poor guy a sandwich. Then later he finds that his cool screwdriver and volt meter are missing. So it must have been that guy. It seems that there is no respect any more. A lot of people, will ask for your help, and then take what they can.

And then just last night some street kid starts asking for coins, we say no, but the little s**t gets persistant, leaning against my friend as he walks, and then he starts saying that he'll stab my friend. At this point my friend stops walking, and asks to see the knife, while I flank the kid. Then the kid says if you see my knife then Im going to stab you. That was not on! No one has the right to stab me for not giving him a few bucks mad . So I tell him look, "we don't want any trouble. Its two on one, just leave us alone." That kid must have been high or something because he said he was going to kill us both. In the end we exchanged words, it was a good thing he didn't have a knife, otherwise I think Phil would have felt justified in beating the s**t out of him. But because the kid insulted me, and showed me no respect as a human being, I wanted to pulvarise him. He just made me so mad! It ended in words, him threatening to kill me, and me telling him to try.

Im getting tired of having to deal with this s**t every ******** day. One day I could get stabed, and then it would be all over! I hate having to live like this.
Its just the whole attitude seems to be, that I owe something to these people. Meanwhile they would rob me blind if I did help them. As there are many bad apples there are a few good ones. Like JP, nevermind that he had to stab some one.
