00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Yo, and welcome to the Ice Boog Daily Channel.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
This is an experimental tech and media brand.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
And we're doing 30 minute, 20 minute daily videos about

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
this and that, whatever.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
So I've been calling myself homeless guy for a long time.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I've been homeless for six years.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
One could say on and off.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Homelessness, according to me and the invisible people project,

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
I'm not affiliated with in any way, is not having a choice.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:41,000
And so, would I be recording a vlog out here if I had a choice?

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Or maybe you just want the market.

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
You just want views this and that.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I admit that is creating a little bit of a conflict of interest.

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
You know, everyone's looking for their angle.

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
It's going to get very, very hot.

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I'm going to have to turn on the car in a second.

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
But, so the topic today is abusing grace.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
That might not be the only topic.

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
But, okay.

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
All these people are in this parking lot in the shade.

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
They're signs posted that say no loitering.

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
I'm here working using library resources.

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Other people are here who knows what they're doing.

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Other chronically homeless people live in their cars.

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I'm guessing they're just entertaining themselves and trying to stay comfortable,

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
which I've raised against that.

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
In a homeless guy rages against getting comfortable video.

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Absolutely not acceptable to just get comfortable somewhere.

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
God, this is hot.

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
What are you talking about?

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Didn't you just say, don't get uncomfortable?

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:59,000
So, yeah, abusing grace.

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
It's just irritating that, you know, I come here to do some work.

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
And there's like a bunch of homeless people just like making it so I can't even use it.

35
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Like, if I'm keeping myself 25 feet from every vehicle,

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
there are only so many spots that can be parked in before it starts getting tighter than that.

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
So I'm like, you know, seeing people standing around laughing at each other's hands.

38
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Oh, that's fun, buddy.

39
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
We're homeless and we live in the library parking lot, but man.

40
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Oh, that's great, man.

41
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:49,000
And then there's like another guy just like standing in the shade and like looking at a fence like towards the neighboring apartment complex.

42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Like, how do these people not feel like just totally weird in a shade of themselves?

43
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:04,000
So, if they're still able to be saved, like, they should have some kind of like shame or guilt for this.

44
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
They might be covering it up with the company of other people, etc, etc.

45
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
But like you should not feel fine, like living in a library parking lot.

46
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Should I feel fine living on the side of a road in my car?

47
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Not really, and do I know not really until I have a choice?

48
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
But like if I was, I'm careful, like I park by businesses, not homes, you know?

49
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,000
I park places where there aren't really people at night.

50
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Like, is that abusing grace, the grace of what the cops do not come bug me? I don't know.

51
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Like, if you're staying in the library parking lot, there are still other choices.

52
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
If you're staying on the side of the road, there's not other choices, I think.

53
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Because what's on the side of the parking lot, or road, like, if you're gonna stay here straight across from houses, right next to apartment complexes,

54
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,000
like, just stay on the road. Why are you in the library parking lot?

55
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Well, because there's wifi there.

56
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,000
So what about people like me who want to come and like feel comfortable?

57
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:37,000
All the people who like walk their dogs here, the women who walk their dogs here, like.

58
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:46,000
I'm sitting here saying, yeah, latering should be acceptable in the parking lot, but not camping.

59
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:57,000
I mean, I know that latering should be encouraged, but if you're coming here to legit work,

60
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,000
yeah, so this is one instance of abusing grace. So can we generalize this?

61
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:24,000
So, what is grace? Grace is like, man, it's hot.

62
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:34,000
There's people talking outside. I don't even want to hear it.

63
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:43,000
So if you're laid on a bill payment, it's a grace period. Maybe, you know, situations like me where you're between jobs and a check comes late.

64
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:53,000
You might get some grace to miss a payment. But if every day you pay five months late, I mean, five days late, the end of the grace period.

65
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:04,000
You're not really covered by a grace. Like the account manager can be like, oh, you pay five days late every time.

66
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,000
And now you're trying to come back and pay seven days late because you had something that made you check two days late.

67
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Well, maybe if you would have planned to pay on time, then you would have paid within the grace period, something like that.

68
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:29,000
So you can abuse the grace of your boss if you trust you to take a reasonable number and length the bathroom breaks.

69
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Like, that do or don't count against your time and a break kind of thing.

70
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Like, if you're taken seven bathroom breaks an hour, you might be abusing grace.

71
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:51,000
So we don't have to limit every conversation to homelessness, but that's what a lot of people are searching for.

72
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
So that's what these parasites are going to do is they're going to find any little window of grace and abuse it.

73
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:05,000
But then make the authorities not feel like they're abusing and make the authorities want to let them abuse it's they're not really even abusing grace.

74
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:22,000
But then there's people like me who, you know, don't try to people, please don't try to make anybody like me, you know, I just take care of business for the most part.

75
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,000
And that's not very likable.

76
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Man, I want a shady spot, so I could go to the park now.

77
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:40,000
So big thing that happened today, so okay, it's three o'clock now, I should basically be getting off work and a half hour.

78
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:51,000
But I got called out early, the whole place is closing down early for whatever reason, like we had an event and it was slower than we had hoped in blah, blah, blah.

79
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Anyway, so I get out, I'm doing my routine and actually something that I haven't talked about in the channel that I, I'm not going to talk about in the channel.

80
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:16,000
I need a certain tool to do something every day temporarily until I put down the little bit of money to get it fixed.

81
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:24,000
But it's just like, you know, I can indefinitely maintain it basically, I just need to do something every day.

82
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:33,000
I come to my car and I find some random spring in that tool just completely like bent and broken.

83
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:42,000
It's like straight up broken, like somebody went in there, took it apart and like bent to spring.

84
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Like I can't see any other way it would happen like that.

85
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Like the thing got so hot that the spring pushed through plastic and melted it.

86
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,000
I don't know and there was also a fuse blown or, you know.

87
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,000
So I'm sitting here trying to picture like, how could that have happened without me noticing?

88
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Like I've used this tool every day.

89
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
It's been fine.

90
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,000
And now here this fuse is blown and this spring looks like it was just straight up bent.

91
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Like.

92
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,000
So we've talked about gang stocking in the last video.

93
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
I stopped calling myself homeless guy in the last video.

94
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:46,000
So I mentioned the name of my manager from a big company in the last video who have sent private investigators to my jobs.

95
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Who I believe have contacted me through other means that, you know, who have followed my social media.

96
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:00,000
And whenever I posted stuff about like real life, this or that, they've, I don't know.

97
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,000
I can't make too many claims about what the private investigator has or hasn't done.

98
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
But what happened is consistent with things that have happened before.

99
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000
And it's when I'm bringing up this guy's name again.

100
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Got a wonder.

101
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Could be totally random. It might not be sabotaged. Someone actually came in and sabotaged my tool.

102
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:37,000
I mean, I'm not going to go into all the details about that, but it could have been.

103
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:48,000
It could have just, the spring could have just bent and the fuse could have blown on its own, you know.

104
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Total coincidence, totally random.

105
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Just.

106
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Sometimes tools fail.

107
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:07,000
That's how gang stocking needs to be like, they can't be too flagrant to the point where you know for sure that it was somebody sending a message.

108
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:17,000
It needs to be like, this feels like somebody sending a message, but the thing just failed and there's no evidence of anything.

109
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Right?

110
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:31,000
So, yeah, I got to spend a good hour in the hot car when it was open and everything just fixing it.

111
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:37,000
And I did manage to get it fixed, I did have a spare fuse thankfully.

112
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:44,000
So, that's, you know, that could have been failed.

113
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,000
That could have been quite an issue if I went to have been able to fix that.

114
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:02,000
I mean, thank, well, and I was still, you know, if it was before my first paycheck or something.

115
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:31,000
So in a way, maybe some of this stuff is, is grace in some ways like, yeah, I should just do the permanent fix for that thing and have I been able to not really, I kind of need something like a garage space.

116
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Yeah, I don't want to say too much about it, but yeah, it's, I might be, see, God protects the righteous, God extends grace.

117
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:50,000
But if I'm just like doing that routine every day for too long, like it's been probably less than a week that I've been doing it.

118
00:12:50,000 --> 00:13:02,000
But, and I mean, tomorrow's, tomorrow's my day off, was it, was it still like that on my last days off, I don't know.

119
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:14,000
But anyway, it could be a message just to me, like, so no weapon formed against the righteous, she'll prosper, but also if I was just abusing grace and not fixing it, like I should have.

120
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:22,000
And sometimes God does let bad things happen to good people, as the saying goes.

121
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Like, there's some room for interpretation, the story of Job, saying that Job used to be like a complainer and all this in that.

122
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:41,000
So in a way, like, he was getting his karma still by, like, by losing everything and having to go with nothing and see how terrible it was with everything, without anything.

123
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,000
But then he still got it back after he learned his lesson.

124
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:57,000
So anyway, I'm not a super scholar on that, but it's interesting interpretation that resonates if you will.

125
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,000
So, abusing grace.

126
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:10,000
There were, once again, a bunch of other stuff I was going to talk about, and I wanted to just get straight here and do the video.

127
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Like, didn't even go to the gym to shower first or anything.

128
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
I just wanted to get here, record the video and do that before I went to the gym.

129
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,000
And I was thinking about what to do with my days off, so I just thought, like, I'll just go to the library and get on the internet figure it out.

130
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:32,000
So in a way, it could be like, what I'm supposed to be doing is going straight to the gym after work to shower.

131
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000
So, there could be that.

132
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
But yeah, today's my Friday, even though it's Sunday night for everyone else.

133
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:49,000
So, yeah.

134
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
You notice how you do funny stuff with my face?

135
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Like, I actually, I've talked about it a little bit in the past.

136
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Like, I honestly would solidify it into reality too hard.

137
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:08,000
But, yeah, let's just say, like, I noticed.

138
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Like, a person can fix their posture.

139
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,000
A person can fix their oral posture, normally through something like braces.

140
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,000
And sometimes you get rubber bands to, like, hook them and pull the jaw this way or that.

141
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Like, I've been looking at my face, and it is just so not symmetrical.

142
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:38,000
So my parents should have got me braces, but instead they spent 90,000 dollars on booze and cigarettes.

143
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Two or 3000 or whatever for braces was too expensive, but 90,000 for booze and cigarettes isn't too much.

144
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:59,000
So, me and my parents are not rich by any means, but they view beer and cigarettes as, you know,

145
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:07,000
necessary to cope, and it's sort of like working in service right now as an adult,

146
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,000
especially where people are, you know, candid about stuff.

147
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000
And they're like, the age of my parents when I was younger kid.

148
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Like, I can definitely see that my parents were just like these same service industry labor.

149
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Type people who I was talking about yesterday, and just maybe not making as dumb of decisions, but making really dumb decisions for being parents.

150
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Like, I mentioned a few 10 videos ago or something that I believe people should stop drinking when they have kids or stop drinking when they get married, even more extreme.

151
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Because it's just not royal behavior. If you're having kids, you're creating a little kingdom.

152
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Why would you do anything less if you're having kids than treat them like princes and princesses, like, here to, you know, repopulate the world.

153
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:12,000
It's like, have kids and repopulate the world with your genes or don't have kids, like either way.

154
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
I'll be fine with no kids, I'll be fine with 10 kids.

155
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,000
In fact, I'll be happy with no kids, I'll be happy with 10 kids.

156
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,000
I will not be happy with two kids. Two kids is like, some of the worst.

157
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Like, even one kid is better than two kids. Three, two is the worst number of kids.

158
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Because then the kids only have one sibling each. There's no redundancy there.

159
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
If you lose one child, you still have one child left.

160
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000
The parents don't know how to cope. The kids going to get all messed up.

161
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000
At least if you have three kids and you lose one kid, you've got two kids to mess up.

162
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
And so they each might not get as messed up individually.

163
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:59,000
And they've got each other as well. So someone from their own peer group or age group, you know,

164
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:06,000
close, you know, same generation, you know.

165
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:13,000
But to have just two kids is like, it's worse than one kid, it's worse than three kids.

166
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,000
So it's like the local minimum of the worst number of kids to have is two.

167
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Anyway, so I'd be super happy with zero kids and I'd be super happy with 10 kids and I would.

168
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
No, I shouldn't make that joke. I would not be happy with two kids.

169
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
We'd want to keep going.

170
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Or have no kids at all. That's totally fine.

171
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
I'm not going to get married either if I'm not going to have kids.

172
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:46,000
So it's like, I'd be totally fine, not married with no kids or married with 10 kids,

173
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,000
but not married with no kids, married with two kids.

174
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I might even be okay being not married with 10 kids. Why not do it like a basketball player?

175
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:06,000
But yeah, I'm sure at some level, is there a grace abuse when it comes to that kind of stuff probably?

176
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:15,000
So yeah, just talking about stuff today, abusing grace and gang stocking and yada yada.

177
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Once again, we showed up. It might not be the greatest video, but thanks for joining.

178
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:29,000
And I don't not enjoy doing the videos either, you know, it's an area of improvement for me to keep doing this

179
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
and it's good accountability to do it daily.

180
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Yeah, thanks so much for joining and we're looking forward to seeing you next time. Take care. Bye.
