May The Homeless of Waterloo Rejoice!
While walking to my car from class this cold Thursday night, a stroll that crosses the entirety of our huge campus, I decided upon the perfect place for a homeless person to live.
This discussion was brought up often with my good friend Cole back in the day. She pointed out various benches and enclaves of tree branches and bushes that she would use for shelter if she were homeless. She isn't, but it was kind of fun to pretend.
The one place we would never dare to mention, however, was the Math building. Of course we were both prisoners there at the time and dreaded the place. Especially the revolting Comfy Lounge.
Now that I'm no longer forced to visit that wretched hole, I believe homeless people should.
It makes perfect sense when you think aboot it.
- It's warm.
- It's open 24 hours a day.
- There are bathrooms with sinks large enough for bathing.
- It has a lounge. In this lounge there are pop/candy machines and couches as a source of change.
- It's not out of place for people to sleep there. In fact, in some classes it's common for students to bring sleeping bags and pillows.
- The people there are often scruffy and not bathed.
- As a result of 6 it smells nasty.
- Many rant and rave about nothing in particular. Often in gibberish.
- The top floors include their own funhousesque maze.
In the meantime, anyone who reads this now and might soon be in the position of having no home, you're welcome.

True enough. Perhaps the coin in the couch cushions could hold off some of the panhandling...
Some people seem to never update their blogs...
