Life Lessons From A Tribeca Homeless Man

by MY SMALL STORY

 ”When I first became homeless, I use to pray that I die for 6 months…that was back in ’87″ Jerry,52, may be homeless but his mind isnt. I met Jerry in Tribeca. Our conversation is inspiring to say the least.  The street lights are on a timer. They come on and off every 2 minutes. Jerry’s face begins to appear at the :35 second mark. He shares his story, a new year’s resolution, tips if you become homelsss, this favorite Bible passage and strongly suggests that everyone “diversify their finances”.

TJ on Bowery Riots, Gay Marriage, “The Love of The Game” & NYC

by MY SMALL STORY

Walking through SOHO, I met TJ. “I live in NOLITA. I play music for The Bowery Riots and I have a Rock&Roll political radio show called ‘Shock & Awesome‘ ..politics for derelicts, where we cover the week in news.” And I thought he was just in a Rock&Roll band. Our conversation covers Rock, Politics & NYC. “Everything I’ve loved. Every hobby I have. I turned into something I like doing. Put something that you love out into the world.”
