but it'll have to do.
Hope it's a warm night.
This is definitely
a different experience.
We're in a community
with all these guys,
With all these
homeless men
Sleeping in cardboard boxes.
And, you know,
it's like,
You don't know
where they're coming from,
So you have
to be careful.
You don't know
who you're sleeping next to.
I know the streets
of new york city,
But to actually sleep
Out in the streets
of new york city
Is a whole different experience.
You learn a lot
when you travel.
Everyone survives differently.
I grew up
in a very abusive house.
And my dad
was an alcoholic...
A drug addict.
He was very abusive to me
and to my two older brothers
And my mom as well.
I was kind of a...
I was a surprise baby.
I was a surprise.
I wasn't intended.
You know, my mom
didn't plan on me.
I wasn't a planned baby.
I did have my fun times
as a kid, you know?
I wasn't close to my father,
But I do look back,
and I say to myself,
You know, "he did...
there was good times."
July 4th was, like,
my dad's day.
That was his day.
He would get, like,
the best fireworks,
And the whole block
would be involved.
And we'd light fireworks,
And it would go on
for hours.
It'd be from...
as soon as that sun went down,
Just start lighting fireworks,
you know?
Everyone loved
my dad for that.
There'd be a firecracker belt,
And it'd just stretch out
from one end of the street
All the way down
to the other.
And it was just great,
you know?
That was...
I look at those.
You know,
I look at those memories.
I look at those moments.
Everyone lives differently.
When you go somewhere
out of your own comfort zone,
Out of your own realm,
That's learning.
It's going to be a cold one,
so dress warm.
This is the kind of weather
That makes you want to stay home.
There we were.
We were taking part
of that lifestyle.
Your whole perspective changes.
I mean, you're there.
You're amongst the people.
We're sleeping with maybe seven
others guys in cardboard boxes.
And you're taking part of that
feeling of being homeless.
You know,
it was a wild trip.
# sweetly sleeping
# as if the city
was meant for me #
God has a purpose
for us all.
If he didn't have
a purpose for me,
I would've been gone
a long time ago.
I've been in situations
where I should've been shot,
Ran over, overdosed.
I should've had aids,
I was exposed to it
I don't know how many times,
Sexually.
But god,
for some reason,
Has got some kind of purpose.
He's got something for me to do.
