Homeless

Why homeless you may ask as todays topic well I've often wondered if you actually think how those people feel, how they became homeless, was it because of financial, emotional, losing their job or for some other reason like their just pretending to make money out of passers by as they sit on the pavement with a sign "homeless". How do you know if they are really homeless, ask them, or just assume that they are and give them something to help. There may be loads of reasons why they are homeless perhaps because they lost their job and couldn't afford to pay their mortgage and therefore ended up on the street, perhaps they lost their family maybe through a tragic accident and then became homeless, perhaps they are war veterans who came back home after fighting for their country and their government didn't help them adjust to civilian life, perhaps they lost everything because of a war and ended up homeless after returning to their house that was left in rubble. Whatever the reason how do those people actually feel it's perhaps hard for you to find an answer to that, but then I start thinking what if I was homeless how would I feel,more than likely I would feel desperate, no money, no roof over my head, no food, no family just walking the streets asking everyone for help, searching for food and a place to sleep that was out of the weather and reasonably safe. There's no real answer but it makes me feel angry just to see them sitting there and everyone passing them by without giving them some sort of help like food, a few pounds or whatever currency is used in that country, telling them where the local shelter is, where they can find food and a bed and most of all safety from all the predictors that might take advantage of them. This topic is fact as I was once homeless because I ran away from home and found myself on the streets of London thinking to myself why did I run away because of a stupid argument with my parents, I should have appolagised and then I would have been back home where I belonged so you see I have an insight to how the homeless feel and am not just writing about this topic because of what I see but because it can happen and then what do you do? Think about it next time you pass a homeless person and judge for yourself, or say to yourself do I help or not but just incase they are homeless give them something to give them hope and I'm one hundred percent sure you will feel better inside because you helped that person who doesn't know what to do or where to find help maybe that will help them to get back on their feet and maybe, just maybe become once more a member of society not just a nuisance sitting on the street. This topic is maybe a bit depressing but it is a way of life in our modern world and it will only get worse before it gets better. If you read todays blog then think about it a while and then make up your own mind whether to help or not to, thanks for reading and I hope that you don't find yourself in that situation so like, share or comment on todays blog because what you think really matters. Thank you.

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
