This is not the life I ordered

"I knew that Vegas was a tough place to be homeless, but my God -- less than 36 hours, and I was at death's door and crying to my mammy and pappy for help."

"I had been communicating with a reporter for the Las Vegas Sun newspaper named Tim Pratt. When he learned of my experiment's premature and pathetic end"

Like I said, not hatin'...I just think it would have been an even better story if it was for more than 36 hours...it was interesting nonetheless though.

Oh, I didn't think you were hatin', and I agree had he been able to last longer he probably would have had even more things to describe about life on the streets that we can't imagine, but as a result of him not making it more than a day-and-a-half I started to wonder how many of the homeless people I see every day muttering to themselves are disoriented from dehydration. We forget how vital water is untill we can't get it from our own faucet whenever we feel like it.
