that looked like his twin. It had long black hair, black sunglasses and an identical outfit. An older black woman leans over and says "She is beautiful." She was talking about the mannequin. The man replies "Yeah shes sweet but has been acting up today." Not really sure what to think about that. That was the best ride until this past Sunday night.
I was working late this like usual and headed home from the office around 9:30. I decided to jump on the bus cause it was raining and overheard the best conversation ever. A group of homeless men get on together. They are all in their 40s or 50s and white. They are carrying on and talking loud.
First, I hear one talking about how his lady friend makes 50 dollars per hour selling real change outside the pharmacy on 23rd and Jackson. Im like holy shit thats more than I make. A young guy in front of me who was wearing new clothes, sneakers and a nice watch asks where he can make 50/hr. The guy says his friend sells real change and is a newspaper for homeless. The young guy replies that he is homeless and wants a job. I found that odd cause he looked more put together than me.
The main guy starts talking about how he is going to be a millionaire and world famous. He keeps saying he has a website. 'I have a website dude. A website. I have a website with a cpanel." Thats when I started really listening cause cpanel is short for control panel and he must not be bullshitting. He then goes on about how he is an impersonator and can do any celebrity voice. He proceeds to do perfect renditions of Sylvester Stalone from Rocky1, John Wayne, Al Pacino from Scarface, and Robert Dinero from some movie I cant remember now. They were amazing. No joke. I know all of the Rocky movies by heart and would have thought Sly was 2 sitting 2 seats behind me.
Someone asked about his website and he says he updates it every day. "I go to the Library on 4th to use the computers. My buddy set me up with a cpanel so I can change any text I want. I can even add photos." I couldnt believe this homeless guy has his own website and I couldnt believe the 2nd rocky impersonation he did. If I was feeling social or ambitious I would have offered to be his manager. He may have signed his life away for a six pack and a joint.
