It’s sad reality and eye opening. TO the guy in the Porsche, drop the debt, and pay it forward twice for even thinking it.

The power of personal transparency was exhibited on Homeless Man Speaks, a blog giving voice to Tony of Toronto. The entire blog, which has frequent posts by Phil, the transcriber and bridge in this particular digital divide, is filled with personal accounts of living on without a home. One of them occurred this week involving a dangerous bike maneuver:

“So I try to miss hitting the Porsche but I wiped out, into into the back quarter panel. So, of course, the guy gets out of the car, of course he’s pissed at me, and I’m telling you, he’s six-foot-something and he’s got biceps that could crack walnuts. So he looks at down me and says: ‘I know you. You’re homelessmanspeaks.com.’ So he’s was pretty nice to me considering but now I owe him $100.”

This is why something so innocuous as 140-character updates on the minutiae of individual lives is so interesting and important. When we are able to connect the little things we read with the humans behind them, the world grows significantly smaller.

Yes, it is a cyclical life, through the portals of the internet – to the street – then back again. Now about that Porche guy, doesn’t he owe you something Tony – for the ad :) . Like a $G or 2!

Doesn’t he realize that you don’t have that kind of money?

And even Porsche drivers want the world to be a happy place.
