Fall Ministry Experience - Living la Vita Broke-a
From the 31st of this month to the 3rd of November, I will be out of my house doing a Fall Ministry experience. In other words, Kyle Korleski is going to be on the street for four days. I am not absolutely sure of what will happen during this time. But if you see me looking like a homeless person around Calgary about this time, I think you will know why.
We will be staying at Central United Church. Basically, there will be a separate room for both males and females. I also heard that the men’s shower was broken last time so we may or may not be forced to take “French showersâ€?. I hope that the showers are working because being in a room with 20 guys without showers is NOT fun. Also, considering that the floors are as hard as cement and I will be denied a couple of luxuries like my laptop, I think I might go postal (No I won’t, but I am just saying).
I heard there was going to be a presentation from the Calgary Police on prostitution. That should be… uh… interesting? Yeah, I really don’t think I am at any risk to become a man whore anytime soon. And considering that HRSDC does not consider that even a vocation, there is no chance in hell that I would do that.
I have also heard that we will be panhandling on the street. Okay, that’s a little scary but I think it will be an interesting experience. I was told that it is to help me see the “kindness” of the world around me and all that shit. I already know the kindness of the world around me, I don’t need to hold a sheet of cardboard to tell me that the world can be a bitch. Hell, just by reflecting on the way Miranda treated me, I know that there is still cruelty and injustice in the world.
I am going to be taking a camera and I will be taking about 6, maybe 8 batteries JUST in case. Basically, battery life in this camera sucks and I may or may not be able to take many shots. However, I promise you that I will upload them via Flickr. Also, Mr. Nyrose and a few other people will be going to Belgium so I pray for their own safety.
