My First Blog from Skid Row!! ;)

Well, well well. I finally have brought myself a computer and successfully am hooked upto the internet in my apartment. Slow in getting caught up with the technology age I’m glad I won’t be needing to go to the downtown public library anymore where so many of the homeless in LA spend their days doing hooker baths. Am I an elitist? I don’t think so. I wonder what my friends would say? Now that I’m going back to school, I wonder if majoring in drug and alcohol counseling is the right fit. I really want to study crystalmeth and its affects on the gay community. As I meet new friends and talk about my life everyone is shocked to find out I call Skid Row home. Skid Row is in downtown LA where heroin, crack and marijuana are available right around the corner or in your neighbors apartment. Almost all of these facilities are supposed to be drug free. There old hotels converted into very small apartments by SRO but the reality is very different from the leases residents signed. And I was one of them. For over a year I used meth and was able to pass every drug test. Once, with the help of cider vinegar. Newly sober I live a much different lifestyle now. When I’m walking around downtown I blend into the loft living crowd. You know those trendy hipsters with money. I don’t look like the typical person living on Skid Row!
