and when you have no need, so for us to skim, since we generally, for example, you choose the most of the last real job. last job i got a paycheck from the college professor in new york city at the digital video film academy. and i tried to like 20 programming languages in different classes. i have all the courses here and i found them all recently, which is great. like i was looking at my google drive. and i was like, i have recordings of my lectures. i have my quote, i have my lesson plans. my are, is, is digital. i actually joined a, our community in brooklyn to, to just to,

to prove that to myself and to other people that are taken out to do is art as well . and, you know, by the end they agreed, you know, because i was making a i that talked back and i was doing gallery shows where we will put people in a room. you know, we have like a bunch of mannequins like 5 mannequins with different, different personalities in a little different, a personalities. and we put people in that room for 5 or 10 minutes and the soonest you say a single word, they all start cascading and go off of each other. so you have this really like a conversation with 5 different people. like i have one headed, you're making max and that goes a different temperaments are women, have you heard of the technological singularity? the technological singularity is the hypothesis that the invention of artificial super intelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth resulting in onside and the goal changes to human civilization. search

the can you tell me please, what is is left and what is the cost of city dish and i have right here, like i say, this is one of the dining halls. and you can tell the advisors long stretch right here. this is where the dining room was, is where the officers sit down and 8. that was probably a storage st cuz you could tell there was walls with there. you could tell were all the walls last. i bet any money that high rise section right there. there was where they went and got their food. it was a mess. all right. you know the soldiers food place, you know, we call the mess in the military. i don't know why they call it the mess, but that's what it is. right? there are forest labs just like this one around here. i mean, exactly the same pattern, the military, this was just a temporary base during world war 2. while there are training the guys to go to war,

you know. and then after the wars they, they close this base down the think a 1st year i was out here all these feel this was like a field and there was so much green on it like the plants. so we see right here. well like, feel like it looked like a blanket blanket, a green and there was these, i don't know what kind of butterfly they were, but they're migrating and you walk through and they just like lift up and it was like, you know, like a blanket moved on right here, i'm gonna put in uh, a grove or an orchard with um apple trees, ill citrus, a full variety palmer, granite, a lot of different things. my sister's husband bought me 14 trees for trees. so

maybe putting those in the i built the staircase of 4 years ago now that goes down or up the end of it, up to the top of the tank wall. and then i did a whole ladder on the inside that goes down into the tank. and it's a if you're afraid of heights, it might be a little challenging, but it's all cell phone, cell phone for me. so i built this staircase in 7 days for the just to get in the thing the, i want to make it into an off of bond where i have vertical walk upon its coming down the walls. and then i want to grow bits. here. i want to have a truck all way around. $471.00 foot circumference. yeah. it's gonna be

a big project like to go enough to provide for the community for the most part from your fruits, industrials, and maybe you have livestock as far as chickens. i always want to see cox regarding dogs, easily coming down the wall. right here, the like that, and come back and drop down into the the trough. this trough would be like maybe 3 feet off and wall about 3 feet high. and just put a familial parrot that wall right here to check this bigger. i just use what i got here. usually i re opposed service, but i'm kind of looking for something like that drugs. yeah. okay. well, i will say that i got something to do every day, and it's

a good thing your life. stay busy because i've been through some crap in my life and i'm a processor and really, you know, i don't hold myself to my past. but if you say you don't think about it, you know, believe me, i've done some pretty good things now. yeah, that's why i'm saying, uh maybe even help me out cuz i'm telling you, man, it's a weird bike. put those bar chapters harrigeville. yeah. cuz just go the other way . just like that. yeah. last night and my last wife i shot my brother in law. like i said to bring in board. i just said god, today i didn't kill him. so a. yeah, this is nice that they, they were hours or she divorced me, you know, and then i mean i could talk about it now, but it was a very difficult time. i. i remember that time and being in prison on top of that.

i couldn't even talk me, i go to my mouth i my crack, which is and that i was broken, has a man, but damn there. i mean, it was a restaurant there. i remember though to say that was only 5 years ago or so for me you yeah. about 5 years minus the 7 months and 7 months that i left it for prison for 7 months. i'd rather talk about the future in like what i'm just doing now, you know then, and then all of the problems they've gotten here. but i mean, you know, you have to bring it up, i suppose. just so you know, the whole story. you don't want that. yeah. yeah. it's not that big a deal though. i guess just seem like a lot when i was going through it though, you know, and i seen a lot of other people too,

so i got compassion for people cuz i've been there kind of a lot of it on a lot of the homeless things and stuff like that now. so i know what i know what it's like to get down there. they've gone in and try and come back up. and i'm, i'm doing it. doing it slowly and how long you've been here. about 5 years, they picked me up about 6 months and after i'd been here, they picked me up right in my vx bicycle down the side of the road. was about 30 feet off the road. they stopped me for no light on my bike after sunset, and i had a warrant from san diego felony warrant for some stuff and, and that's why i came out here to try and trying get away from them because they're just, they were looking for things they were creating, creating problems where there was no problems. so they could profit off of it. okay, jim, you've already put flight stuff in the seat up. you

have to people out here because they have no rest ago, or they can't function in society. and the other hand of here because they loved the place and there's nowhere else they'd rather be than here. but i'm one of those people. so i to leave and i did for a little while. and i, i always remember that. and that's why i'm patient intolerant. with people because the, so i'm not serving, i'm taking a spot somewhere. someone can live here who has, who can live anywhere else. so if i'm going to live here by my own choice, when i have the option to go to los angeles and do fine, and then i need to serve to make a student to earn my spot here several 100 people have passed through here. either on their way somewhere else or provide safe space to abuse women and to elderly people to mentally ill, people, to addicts, to children. you know that if i have an extra trailer, i always i always make rooms out of it. so that when people come near phase the

state and they have one that, that the i was married to until executive for all this 25 years that that had an extensive bank account. tell me no love, actually the game i did the whole purpose and my cousin asking on time, what was it like living in the white man's world and i went to the sales floor and i i couldn't recall him. the culture of all to know that white man mentality of their just spectators. they're not participants in life, but they pay for adventures. call it the living. things are going to leave it every day. i was a born again. christian. conservative house wise for politic 16

i gave him 6 kids or 5 kids. the baby came up to me and one son that loves me and talk to the rest. i'm square. i lost my mind. it's no better place to be to the village in the some beautiful features and live free live. however you want to get along with everyone who had all the dogs. how did the dogs get along with the goat of these things, susan? one of them, this is just a horn dog. your name again is mike. uh,

mark. so he is michael mark for info and marco paul. uh no. i know i get it as low as julie, and i guess in the sense that there are no authority is within the city. everyone is their own citizen, including the animal who owns free. awesome. and there's no organization except for what comes out except for what emerges from everyone coming together, bring their own situation to it, and creating their own home and environment. and joining in when i 1st came there, most of the population here was snowbirds, you know, mom and pop. get to retirement age, the kids a wall left. so they sell the house and buy a big motor home and start traveling. and you could stay here for free. and so

those were the people i met when i 1st came here. the people all started getting old. owning a motor home got is 30 getting more expensive than the economy we started going down and are all those factors together. those that crowd of people died out. but now i, in the world today, there's a lot of people that don't have a way to build a life that you'd want, you know, the russian states never as one of the most sense community best, most all sense of the speed. what else suppose question about this, even though we will fan in the european union, the kremlin media mission,

the state on russia to day and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the tv service was what question did you say they requested the makes a lot of rain on some feet, right. so what i can say is i'm going to start remembering, wanted to go. so there we have a lot of refugees. we don't have to have any regrets for refugees because we got refugees, right? here, you know, you see the, all, the, the blue tart homeless people in los angeles since and the other cities. i'm

sure this is better living than living and skid row, los angeles, you know, that's gotta be so hopeless. it's heavy. i think about this because i'm in fear of what they think about. then i see a bunch of hungry people, a scale. and this is blessing right here for all that food. we get him. we good try like you to feel out of this whole come and look every month but every month feel they make sure that we hit, we have food out here. you know, a lot of people are hungry there. don't have no money or anything devices. you know they, it's all good to love the community that helps the people out here. that's what i love, the most is syndicated all this is one big happy family. that's what i like. and

even though you see people here with uh nothing, you know, some of them cardboard checks, you know, but a cardboard shack of real coffee. if you just been sleeping on the dirt, you know, and you get a few odd jobs and maybe you could find a rundown, broken down trailer to deliver it and you know, they can pull your life together. and that kind of way here, for if you're in the city, it's never ever met. they can't just leave me in your car and say, yeah, you know, it was, they'll side to run you off, but i'm not always nice. gotcha. because that's why we call this glass free place because it is not because you can't live here in free. it's because you can be here and nobody's going to persecute or prosecute you about it. you know, you're just laying down in the dirt here. people are just coming to ask if you're all right, but nobody's going to guard you off to jail for 077 decades on

insurance. but uh so you know, here you can do the things you wanna do without having to have you been thrown in jail. we have people think what you are now as i got to talk reading tony sometimes who is just doing this program over here. so yes, thank goodness, in my kitchen area is in transition as is, everything's really in transition all of his time. but uh, yeah, so its all scrambled around right now and when i get done with it, well i have a good job. what is it? i don't know what could come with gas now. you were out for 2 days. yeah, i don't know. hardly ever run, i guess, but somehow, within flushing away it is and things cost. and so what we're apps for agger, i just talked to my beer because it's like i said, inflation oh,

inflation is gone up. so i a last one year. i mean it's been going up for like 4 or 5 years now. but the last year that's just really checked is right in wallace, you know, writing a money department. if you're fortunate, if you get money out here, some of us are and some of us aren't. so everything has gone up and so much in price. and especially if you have to shop right here in town. good, gosh, robbery is a 1st degree. a boost stance once a month. i just, but i buy cheap natives. very try to get my money is i asked as long as i possibly can. i mean, i got a couple more years. retired that's. that's the goal here in future retirement. and after that, yeah. got some things to do. 6 bucks. 6,

but anyway, that's up 7. said 17, obviously i have already live 7 bucks are going see here. this is the problem, right, that for this and, and to no doubt 99 or 10 to the airbag issue, still gotta get ready to get your money. oh wow. i worked deal for 25 years and whatnot in general are suddenly gave me as a, you know, literally disturb time ago. but as i have, you know, this year and then my body showed here for uh you know, you got your option, dallas highs and lows and this type of thing. and that is uh, you know, considered to be a handicapped. oh sure. yeah. to where they, you know,

show up on your hands on there. i mentioned that mine was, uh, yeah, a boy, i loved the torch feeding. uh, we show a welder 2, but well, garage a pretty good welder, but in your torch department and bidding, no, why was that the top? so you said you wouldn't be probably able to make it out there with the amount of money. oh, hell no. but you have to have 2 or 3 people, you know, conglomerate, and together to do, you have enough money to pay the rent to pay your electric, just pay your sewer bill. and obviously, again, by your groceries, you know, as your head take a combination of people where, where here, which we do do and combinations of people we help each other. sure. and as a good thing, over a year ago, we started what we call these labs, the soup kitchen, cuz every poor community, an american, and brought like it, almost a world nowadays has some kind of free feeding, but we didn't like study. so i'm starting a little over

a year ago on christmas morning. we started feeding on sundays and we've been feeding every sunday for a year. and as you can see, we're starting a little thing here. um and it just is just trying to help our neighbors out. i mean, it is a place to congregate and always eat. and joe, there's all done by one man named lorenzo. even when he's our cook. i kind of put it together in between to, to meet him in a couple of their homes and put it out. you're on the streets, you know, i mean, you know, trying to change what chance and change those things out here. i'm sure you see, i mean it's live so these are place your free meal in a bag of food is a nice thing every week. we're all not at the back of food yet, but we're trying to get bags of food too. but we do every sunday we see before i can this lives, i was on the streets. i've been excited for 15 years. i've been in prison, i've sold drugs. i've, i've done a lot of things. and for ones i want to do something nice for somebody. so we decided feet and i mean, i cleaned up stop doing drugs and opened up a soup kitchen and my town. yeah, hands are getting banks that always taking, i mean, everybody goes up. everybody goes up. somebody has really started early,

early learning, you know, call me slow, you know, i think is like, it took 40 years or 20 years, however long it took me a long time to think of this cell, but this is what makes me happy. you know, when everybody can get to play the food now and they're, they're smiling snapshots of them to me in there may be done. but doug, you remember we me, he was the age of 1st. so the way the big tall uh see uh, i think opening day was new year's eve and oh, to the rain. i don't make money. you know,

if anything, i spend my money the reason i've kept at it for 20 years is the only thing i ever did that made a difference in the world. you know, this wasn't here the people in that that would be quite a bit different. i think issue, you know, you look around our existence, things to check and look rather bleak. look, but this is a thing we're, that the humanity of the beauty of, of life comes out. the feeling of, of the art, the feeling of people feeling like they're an artist, as opposed to a vandal. if it is fixed or selective. the collective self image of everybody here can be part of this. you know, even though it is adult play or the neg road.

yeah. really bad actually. so my friend screwed this piece of metal on and i, when i read poxy, did you say you say that the you give a lunch to play? did 13 year. yeah, i learned like, uh, maybe 3 years ago now. maybe a little less than that and was, and wasn't inspiring. was there the range and yeah, yeah i, i said there for a year and a half or 2 years cuz i live like music. you know, so we sit in the front and i watch them and i love it. i did it in new york. you like watching music and was like, i can do that just like most people in the audience. you look in there and you're like, i can never do that right. i can learn how to play guitar in my fourties. and they were, they know a single college and where there had a thing to which and the most thing i would do is like, it doesn't carry over the 2nd half of them, good half of them. and then we learn how to write songs to. and we do a lot of the same time and i'm going to stand a very next to my heroes, you know,

next to build a bill and all these amazing towns that people that view. you know, they're also my family, all those people. so they'll then me their instruments and i was like please me, another car getting to see it isn't yeah, no, i know like 4050 songs though and i wrote favorite songs and think to that i can do that was no, i don't know that's what brought me here was the public guard or kept me here. that the breath when i got here ignorant, i don't know nothing about swenson but it was the public car and some of the minerals out here bloom. my my and this was, that was something with things for you to stay. yeah. cause is not a lot of places who are in america where you can do this and not be criminalized. right here you can see any kind of art and it's not criminal. it's

appreciated and it's not in some phases, it becomes famous. so this is my original taxidermy dinner party that i, i did, i think it was 3 years ago when i set this up originally in there. so we've got young box. i'll go back in grandma bucks and young buck is here bragging about this guy is like, oh my gosh, humans are so stupid. i was just hiding behind a tree just lasted him right in his face while he was filling up this car with gas as guy arrears. like you know, we could add, think we resource human some, you know, prostitution rings, drug rings, the homeless. there's so many places we can get people besides us. and grandma, that's why police are feed me. i'm starving. i will stay here as long as i'm happy here and right now, i mean, it's like a dream come true to be living here and having the amount of people that come through every day that i get to share this with and get some people are like mortified some people are excited, some people are like, oh my gosh,

i love your brain and it's like, i didn't really get that kind of attention and feedback when i've been doing the artworks in my life. like even like the 1st post i did of like a baby at all. i put horns on the back to make it look like wings or something and i posted it on like some obscure, like, not instagram, it's like google plus or somewhere and i are. the only thing was one person to be like, oh that's weird. like delete the language such as big down. did the whole fishing i have that's the plague of christianity that it's not against christians, it's just the christianity crusades, and whatnot. and the propagation of one religion type of thing. and then the plague . i don't know, it's kind of open to interpretation, just put the name alone, then not an atheist living here in the desert. you find you find spirituality all over the place you get really connected to a lot of things here. the

oh, what else seemed wrong? just don't you have to see power and engagement. it was the trail when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground the the

you know, living down here i see. so this guy to ok. i couldn't get the picture of it because uh i, i didn't pull my my phone out, passing up. finally got my phone. i'll take a picture of this thing. i saw this guy. that's what really tripped me out. this is one of the shift i saw on this guy. that's what it looked like. it grab something broke through his web. grab those to this right here. i saw this and this guy is a useful data pipeline ship. that's what it looked like. this one was coming from the opposite way. it was like a big source of green container, plug in this guy and a wake towards that mountain right over there. the one that has a door on top of it. yeah, yeah. you can see the door, you only see the door when the door is open. yes, these are one of the phenomenal is that a that i've seen out here because i had friends, couple of friends that are witnesses. i talked to him about the said the soul,

the same thing that i saw before. so i knew our way of seeing things, you know, where we and that's what makes you real with these other people see the same thing that i saw. remember, you're all in here. you're all special. god, not you very much. he's never forgotten you. he's right there. even when the midst of her mess. he's right there waiting for you. well to and i, i live here since i was 5 years old. so sorry, 5 years old man. i grew up here and you, what i learned live here. the bad you learn to love to people, you know? because i'd be like a lot 0 agree. i don't really know what you mean the day because as you may have, i apologize to have what happens in everyday life that's being real about myself and being really got to because he has to be real real with him 1st, you know, have to little over 32 years ago i find myself in a.
