00:02:02I'm going to take a look at it.
00:02:32I'm sorry, you have ordered it, and it's like a thing, I'm sure.
00:03:42Hey, man. How you doing? Have a light? You have a light?
00:03:47Oh, yeah.
00:04:15Thanks.
00:04:19Yeah, yo. Where you headed?
00:04:22Where you headed? New Orleans?
00:04:24Where you headed? New Orleans?
00:04:26Yeah.
00:04:27Yeah? I'm on my way back to New Orleans, too.
00:04:29Just leaving Lafayette, visiting my seven-year-old.
00:04:35Going back to New Orleans where I'm in the process of a project.
00:04:41I'm trying to write a book on the homeless situation.
00:04:44And, you know, how the economy affects it.
00:04:48And, you know, how it's not really an economy problem.
00:04:51It's just a problem.
00:04:53Without the economy being bad, I think everybody should have a home, you know.
00:04:57Yeah.
00:04:58I was talking to a policeman the other day.
00:05:00She said, you know, with America being the best country in the world, we're still the best country.
00:05:06Every person should at least have one room, you know.
00:05:10And I wasn't even thinking that generous.
00:05:14But that makes sense to me.
00:05:15And the policewoman told me that.
00:05:18Anyway, I'm writing a book about the homeless culture.
00:05:23With the uprising in Egypt, you know, Tunisia and all that going on.
00:05:27Yeah.
00:05:29You know, that's all about democracy, right?
00:05:30They want democracy over there.
00:05:32They don't want dictatorships.
00:05:34And, but that still wouldn't make it perfect, you know.
00:05:37We got democracy here and that's what we've had.
00:05:39And it's still, you know, we still got a lot of problems.
00:05:42The homeless thing is really, you know, it's in my heart to write and try to at least shine some
00:05:52light on it, you know.
00:05:54What's the, what's your, uh, what's the, what's the point?
00:06:00Is it kind of like under the thought of like the weakest link?
00:06:04Well, you know.
00:06:04Kind of strengthen the weakest link of the nation?
00:06:06I mean, God bless America.
00:06:08Yeah.
00:06:08Well, it's not, it's definitely, I'm not thinking like a, from a socialistic point of view.
00:06:14But, uh, you know, the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer.
00:06:18Um, I mean, there are people out there who gladly take a job, I mean, with work.
00:06:24You know, they're homeless and they would work.
00:06:26But even if they had a job, it wouldn't, you know, they can't afford housing.
00:06:30You know what I mean?
00:06:32Since Hurricane Katrina, the, uh, the price of rent has gone up.
00:06:37It's like triple, you know.
00:06:39It was hard enough to pay rent before Hurricane Katrina.
00:06:42And myself, I was making pretty good money.
00:06:44But when I think about somebody working at Burger King, you know, and when rent was $500 before the storm,
00:06:52now it's $1,100 for the same apartment.
00:06:55And something's wrong, you know.
00:06:57It's just, it's hard, man.
00:06:59It's hard, you know.
00:07:01And, uh, I mean, I think it's something that I should be doing.
00:07:05You know, I should be, God put it in my heart that I should do more.
00:07:09You know, I can take care of my family.
00:07:22You know, I can take care of my family.
00:07:32I can take care of my family.
00:07:35Come here.
00:07:38Come here.
00:07:46Come here.
00:08:12I don't know.
00:08:32Okay, let's go, okay, we're trying to get out of here.
00:08:53Come on.
00:08:56Come on, and do it.
00:08:58Yeah.
00:09:00Stay done.
00:09:01Like that.
00:09:02There.
00:09:03Now, try your hands.
00:09:04Try my hands.
00:09:07Want to get my plate?
00:09:08You know, I got to work in the morning.
00:09:09Want to get my plate?
00:09:10Until I'm been sick.
00:09:12Mimi can't take him?
00:09:13No, he probably got sick from Mimi and her kids.
00:09:16And you know, he's not going back over there until he gets better.
00:09:19So what you gonna do?
00:09:22I was thinking about going to an acting class.
00:09:25They have lessons on Tuesdays.
00:09:28What? An actor?
00:09:29Jermaine.
