he still out there, saw em about two weeks ago....i think the most spottings personally have been on the strech between the trolley station and picador cuz theres no stores and its pure backwards walk time for him...

some days he looks to be having problems mentally with his backwards walking than others...ive seen him do it quietly and ive seen him do it the hard way where everyone and everything gets yellled at

he has to be easily the most memorable bum on this block besides the other bum who lays in the dirt all day on the side of the road next to innervisions...nigga lays in that dirt like its a luxury couch

yeah i was reading it and i prolly see him more often than i notice him, i think he sleeps at the shopping center next to the pad.

i really only notice hes backwards man when hes going backwards..

when i first moved to this area i was tripped out about dude cuz hed really be bailing backwards on some serious shit

i wonder if theres any truth to dudes kid being one of the kids who got killed/molested in the area if so i could understand why he lost it

theres actually alot of homeless on palm avenue and it gets worse and worse it seems
