I am – Drug Addicted Street Kid Dancing of the Day

I went on a walk last night because that’s how I decompress after a long day doing nothing and saw some dudes in cheap suits beat boxing outside some mid-range restaurant that people in cheap suits go to after work. When I crossed the street to see why the hell these suits had a dancing monkey flipping all over the place. It turned out that it was some drug addicted street kid who I had seen around and his dance was his way of making money for more drugs. The last time I saw this dude he told me that people were after him and if I filmed him, he’d find me. He had been in martial arts for years, I assume before he ran away from home and found crack and he used his skills to earn his keep, because let’s face it – 10 year old martial artists don’t make money and being addicted to drugs is more fun. The suits got him to do the dance again, because they were so impressed and I grabbed this footage. I asked him for a picture when he was done and he showed us his bleeding scar that went from nipple to belly button. It’s from the surgery he got after being stabbed a few months ago…..I am proud to say that when I lived on the street, youtube didn’t exist and there’s no video of me doing the monkey tricks I did for booze floating around, because I like to think I’ve cleaned up nicely and I’d hate for that video to haunt me and stand in the way of my future. I guess it’s too bad that I don’t have that same kind of consideration for others but I’m totally okay with posting this video because if dudes high, getting stabbed and drinking out of puddles, I doubt he’ll be running for president, if you know what I mean.
