What's in Fashion
Yesterday morning I woke up early to go to the Robarts library to pick up two books for the aq course I'm taking at OISE. I also took care of an errand for my dad.
I know it's probably just me but downtown Toronto isn't like it used to be. In one sense, the homeless seem to be getting younger, look like they are capable of working, and not badly dressed if I might add. Has it become some kind of fashionable occupation to shamelessly panhandle on the streets instead of pulling yourself by the socks and make the best out of a minimum wage job? Is that it? To be homeless is the be in fashion?
One young woman was standing on an intersection and repeating rehearsed lines "Can you spare some change? Help a lady out?" while holding a tin can of some sort.
Another young woman stood at the bottom of the subway escalators doing the same thing. It's all very peculiar. I used to dream about living in downtown but now I wouldn't dream of it. I think I would stay here in the suburbs of Toronto. I would travel but I wouldn't move to live somewhere else permanently.
I just browsed through some other people's blogs and it's highly interesting to see the differences in people's concerns and what they find important or not important.
Well, I've got a ton of work and so little time. Ciao for now
