Tom's Story
Life
Mom and Dad sold the property in March, 2005 and moved to Missouri to help my aunt so Dave and I moved out into a house we rent near 32nd St and Beardsley. I did finally get rid of both those cars (the Cougar got totaled in May of 2005, the Escort was fixed but broke down on the 51 and I abandoned it near the towing yard) and now have a 2003 Nissan Sentra. My current home phone number in case anybody wants to call is: (602) 368-8062.
New Update: My Nissan got repoed, I quit Blimpie and got a job at Albertson's, Dave moved out and took his phone number, and I have to move out too, although I am going somewhere different. We got behind in the rent due to Dave and Trey (a close friend that moved in to help, but didn't) not helping me pay the rent, so we are all moving out. I have to get a cell phone tomorrow and will post that number. Sorry to all who may have tried to contact me, I got caught up in life and am just a free member anyway so I can't reply on here. That's all for now.
UPDATE, June 18th: That cell number is 602-489-3761. Also, my aunt died, but mom and dad and Jim are still in Missouri and their house is almost finished being built. As to where I moved out to.... sadly, the homeless shelter was my only option. I've been homeless since May 1st except for a two week stay in a hotel. Last friday I lost my job at Albertsons so I have to find a new job. However, the shelter system known as CASS has programs to help me get a job and a place to live. I have to follow their rule...Expand for more
s to keep my bed for now, but I should be out of there within a month and into my own place or a transitional housing place.
UPDATE, March, 2007: Actually I was out of there in 1 week and into a transitional house called Andre House where I stayed from June til September. I had a new job within a month making $10/hr and saved up $1700 when they asked me to leave due to breaking their rules 3 times. (Bummer) So I moved into an apartment by myself on Thomas Rd and 18th Street. I was there for 5 months until a so-called "friend" I met at the shelter showed up and turned my life upsidedown. I chose to move out rather than cause more problems by having her thrown out by the police. I was homeless again for 2 weeks until my next paycheck and got into a new apartment on March 6th still on Thomas but closer to 16th street. Last friday(the 16th) I had a house-warming party. The hit of the party? My homemade chip-dip! LOL Seriously, everybody loved it and a couple came back for more the next day.
UPDATE, April, 2008: At the end of July, I met a new woman that dropped by my apartment and things got interesting. She is 1 year older and real sexy, but she is dominant and takes money from me. Due to finanacial issues, I had to move out of those apartments in February 2008 and moved to 19th Ave and Northern at Northern Point Apartments #T236. The woman moved in with me. I also got a raise back in July to $13/hr and again in Novemer to 13.52. But work is slow now and I only work 30 or so hrs a week.
