I have some new decisions in my life, ready for the making!
Starting saturday.. I need a new place to live. My options are currently..
A) IN A BOX IN THE BUSHES!
B) IN A BOX IN AN ALLEY!
C) SIMPLY IN THE BUSHES, OR ALLEY, WITHOUT A BOX
D) IN A HOUSE RIDDLED WITH THE DEVIL'S COCAINE, A CHEMICAL I SHOULD NOT BE AROUND...
I need a new job, and unless some of these employers call me back on the phone I don't have, or contact me via telepathy, I'm considering..
A) PAN HANDLE
B) SCREAM CRAZY THINGS AT RICH PEOPLE IN SANTA MONICA
C) START A CULT WITH DUBIOUS SUCCESS PROSPECTS
D) COLLECT CANS AND BOTTLES
E) VIOLENT CRIME
I can wander around with this stupid mohawk, or wear this viagra visor around L.A.. the choice is simple.. OR IS IT?
I HAVE to make music, it's in my blood.. do I--
A) PRODUCE AND MASTER INCREDIBLE TUNES OUT OF MY LAPTOP SPEAKERS
B) BANG ON POTS AND PANS AND BUCKETS
C) WHISTLE
D) SING POORLY
...
I'm glad you can all take part in this fulfilling part of my life, your advice is welcome.

you can come and live with me for a while. but that of course requires that you have enough money to get yourself over the Atlantic and to my place.
But you are welcome :)
and do stay off the coke! You know you're better off without addiction!

Damn straight. I love my new brain chemistry-- I can get erections and have enough chemical reward to walk across entire rooms to get to bathrooms, which is much better than the alternatives.

I'm going to get a really modest and humble box, just barely large enough to get fetal in, and write "H o M E" in pencil on the side. I will cut a window, and build an aluminum can fence once I am settled in.
Casa de Illfates will be open for touring wealthy aristocrats and young elitists.
The waiting list will be written in poo on the one and singular roll of toilet paper I will keep handy.

1) swallow your pride and go back to mom and dad, if you can. if not, call friends and see who can take you. crash only if they're not habitual users.
2) cut it out w/the coke, immediately. stop. now. right now. don't take it again -- no exceptions. if you feel about to do it, say to yourself out loud "i am fucking up my life" or "i am sowing the seeds of my own misery" or whatever helps. sign up to some support group if neccessary.
3) if you belong to any association (university, health insurance) that can provide you with counseling, seek it, and see someone on a weekly basis. if you have well-off relatives that care for you, ask them to pay for you to see someone weekly. they'll probably appreciate your attempt to get back on your feet.
ok? ok. trust that the job thing will take care of itself as soon as you get back on your feet. but focus on that, first. step by step.
distinguish between a job and a vocation. your vocation might be music - but a lot of people who are really talented don't get paid enough to live off it. the reality is such that you need to work. continue making music, by all means, but don't think that this constitutes improving your financial situation --it probably won't.
you can, absolutely, pull yourself out of this hole.

illf. so are you from chico originally and now else where or are you still there? because if you are, check into a shelter find a job and go from there, whatever you do stay strong and look the other way from drugs at the mo. don't go to city man, not like this you know what you will end up doing if panhandling is already an option.
\btw/ make music in your head if you have to. i wish i could help otherwise.
