A Day In The Life of A Homeless Man - Part 1

[@Missydeb65]

This was soooooo sad. This man has touched me, and I can't hardly wait to watch part II. I would love to know more about this man.....like to be kept updated on his life, progress, etc. Great job on this documentary guys! HUGS, Deb in Michigan

[@iaadotlk1]

Homeless people are very humble and modest.

[@MoustacheCloud]

Well made man thanks. Pray for Daniel and others. Hope the best for you guys.

[@onrt66]

3 yrs ago I was homeless in S.F., completely alone, having moved to SF from NJ. Dan Mahar befriended me, sharing his food, home and most of all, his friendship with me. Dan saved my life. Now, living back on the East coast, I discovered the video of Dan while doing a search for him and am horrified that my long lost friend is homeless. Now it's my chance to help Dan. I NEED HELP CONTACTING HIM. PLEASE HELP ME HELP DAN.

[@MickBergen]

This is really how it is! It sucks out there and you need something to kill the pain.

[@Buckeye2043]

I dont know why but this vid gave me that gut wrenching feeling in my stomach, also made my gf cry a lil 2 and were not done watching the rest either

[@altabestudio]

@onrt66 have u tried contacting the film makers yet? I hope things work out for you.

[@stargate121]

Who is performing the Bowie song?

[@grettagrids]

@206robert206 I couldn't agree more!! it's a HUGE problem here in Arizona and other states.I have in the past two months taken in six homeless women, fed sheltered and helped them get back on their feet. Five are now working and one is on disability for cancer. My apartment is now nic named JO's Diner.

[@k2theC2thejo]

@lnknptheory please upload it to a file sharing site. I would very much like to see the rest of this.

[@Mako2-1]

@gametalkTV why did it get banned?

[@angelo212]

Anyway to see part 2? Did you post it on another site?

[@yoyoyoyo000]

Who are the songs?*

[@Keef_DGAF]

its nice that you spent your time with this man and helped him fel beter about his life.. are you sharing your youtube income with him?

[@Kaiwynn]

I find a bit of humor with the music. Is it the same guy from the "The Life Aquatic"?

[@juicybaby97]

the songs on this video are brazilian but im not sure by who xxx

[@yucchhiiowwee]

@blaby4ever I apprecaite your heartfelt comment,what you need to bare in mind is that there are so many people who are homeless and most have reasons that are different from each other. Most reasons are NOT the same as the next person. BUT, many families are broken that don't care about a family member who is suffering such as this!!! You are absolutely right....HOW SAD!! This is the reason why the world is the way it is, MOST people don't care and bitch about it after!!

[@JieuxArmeni]

I like the Bowie covers playing in the background.

[@yoyoyoyo000]

qho are the songs?

[@Godzie1]

Can't believe that the second part had copyrights?

[@7oktarini]

where is the 2nd part?

[@Nichecraze]

i need to see the second part to this is there some way??

[@jackmorgan311]

The Lord is leading me to educate myself about the Homeless community in the Minneapolis area. I came across this documentary and find it very heart touching and educational and would like to view part 2. how can i get my hands on it?

[@noobgotowned]

2nd part is gone? :(

[@Ashitaka255]

@onrt66 You've probably tried this already but why not go S.F and ask the local authorities if they have any information. Your friend might have visited a few shelters.

[@simonkrk]

any1 know the song, sounds like bowie life on mars

[@yucchhiiowwee]

@BobbyPopz Something NEEDS to be done as soon as HUMANLY possible to put these GREEDY people OUT!!! Don't shut the shelters down, just change the people who run them for people who ACTUALLY care and REALLY WANT TO BE THERE TO HELP!!! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THESE COMMENTS!!!

[@cchoi108]

Some people, somehow, through some kind of mental disability, just can't get it together. I respect all of them for doing what they can and I think we all should respect them. I'm just not sure of how to solve this problem. And yes, being homeless in California is a tragedy, but this guy, compared to poverty stricken people in other countries who are dying of starvation and don't have clean drinking water, is really well off.

[@BottenBosse]

Illegal hunting will get you into prison, in some cases for a long time. Although I have met a guy who caught a squirrel once, he assured it was not worth the trouble. The city is where the family and friends are. Drinking and smoking is one of the few relaxations/outlets you get. If you think these people are just sitting around all day you are (in most cases) dead wrong, not many wants to hire homeless people. They do save money, but addiction is some hard shit.

[@EnemyRCA]

i agree

[@StaceyEdie]

It is so sad how much people judge other people and leave such mean comments, just sad and Americans should help each other & help people that need help get the professional help they need, you never know maybe one day it may be your son, mother,father,aunt, uncle,brother,sister or even YOU. So please refrain from leaving ugly hurtful comments & try to be compassionate.

[@marquisdejolie]

I was out on the streets WITHOUT an addiction. Please don't think the problem of homelessness is ALL about addiction or mental illness. The Veterans Administration puts a lot of people out on the street by giving their top execs bonuses for denying veterans medical assistance via the paper shuffle.

[@BababoCopyrights]

man why do they take down something so enlightening over copyright of a song.

[@macfahad]

Why?

[@grettagrids]

@LadyRose669 bless you and your heart ladyrose. where is the compassion in this world?

[@beaublondleo]

@simonkrk it's a cover of David Bowie's Changes by Seu Jorge. He's a talented musician; you should check out The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou; he does a bunch of David Bowie covers for the film.

[@Juberoos]

The bigger picture is...this man created his own problems and remains there because it is how he prefers it to be.

[@Lelu1202]

I hope one day you experience what it's like

[@GeetarAdam]

Why does he walk with his head down? I wonder if it's from a physical ailment, or if he just feels really bad about himself. Either way, it's very sad.

[@ooonurse33]

Beautiful intro...art.

[@marquisdejolie]

Well done.

[@Spaniard71]

@lnknptheory I don't know if it will work Ink, but some people use the "Federal Fair Use Act". Using video for education, teaching, non-profit, etc. I know some have had video's pulled and later put back up due to this law. I don't know much about it, but it's worth taking a look into it. By the way, I love video!

[@yucchhiiowwee]

As an example of corruption with the shelters, I went to post a comment on the videos of the Nashville Rescue mission and when I clicked on "POST", it said "PENDING APROVAL" And then it was "NOT" posted. They don't want the truth getting out to the public! I'm telling people this so public interest will grow and decide to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

[@NewBornpt]

@GhostLate True that... but ignoring other people suffering in other country is 1 step closer to ignore suffer in your country... But yes, people ignore other people suffering everyday unfortunatelly...

[@likewhoaitswhit]

Thats really sad ;l Bur it's interesting knowing the life of a homeless person.

[@GG74K]

there are plenty of programs for homeless like the salvation army arc program, the truth is the majority don't want any kind of structure or responsibility...I know, I was homeless in Seattle and Austin and there are plenty of opportunities to turn your life around if you haven't lost your willingness to make a effort.

[@MistakesHappen90]

wtf part 2

[@Imissyouhome]

I wish I could do something for homeless ppl

[@yucchhiiowwee]

@BobbyPopz Just so you all know, as I feel for this man, I am homeless in Nashville, Tennessee. I don't have any dependency problems just a hard time trying to find work. (I don't give up though) I know I'll find work, it's a matter of when. The main thing I wish for the people who actually care to know is that MOST homeless shelters are very corrupt. They treat homeless like dog crap!!! Please see my next comment>>>>>

[@chicken4247]

@brownman602 but u have internet!

[@yootesa1515]

very depressing. i wish i could give something

[@thetourle]

gorgeous humanity with this music too, i will do the lot cheers from smashinglynicechap

[@deathhound7]

It took me six months to land my minimum wage job. I'm just lucky I had some savings from the last job I had. I've had a lot of close-calls, and wouldn't be surprised to find myself living under a bridge. That said, I know of a group of travelers, masquerading as hippies, who actually have a culture of begging and street-soliciting. These people have a mindset and philosophy that is deeply devolved from it's counter-society origins.

[@undeadpresident]

I clicked on this cause the thumbnail looked like obi wan kenobi

[@drunkdonutboy]

@vybz86 Ever hear of public libraries? Free wifi?

[@unclscam]

@lnknptheory sorry to hear about that i was stoked on seeing part 2, but my initial comment was going to be on the awesome choice of music, so i can see why changing the music doesn't work. good doc i hope you do more. and fuck sony.

[@CornDogKilla]

@multibillionsspent they are stil people like you and me

[@pepooch]

come on , upload part 2 , fuck copyright!!!

[@Yesica1993]

@808Productionz That's the problem with this attitude. It insults people by saying human beings-whatever their age/condition-are incapable of doing anything for themselves or being anything more than they are. All they're good for is taking handouts and then spending it on booze and cigarettes. I refuse to hold that view. My view is that people sometimes do need help, but they don't need to waste that help in that way. Instead, they CAN change their lives if they put forth the effort to do so.

[@wordwarrior42]

not to be unkind....but addictions bring people to this most of the time....nobody forces you to drink or do drugs....its reap what you sow unfortunatly....

[@HammerOvThor]

"They mysteriously decided to fire me...so I went to Colorado and quit drinking..."

[@RLF777]

We are seeing lots more homeless in Northern California...Nice Video~

[@GeetarAdam]

We all fuck up bro, and we all need forgiveness.

[@KorbielowSki]

Hey, That is so funny; the part two was censored because it contained copyrighted music, as played by the homeless man. . If only he had played one of his own compositions ! . . Cheers. from, del-boy.

[@808Productionz]

Maybe this is his way of living? Who are you to judge what is right or wrong? If it is my money being given to him, what say do you have for the kind gesture I would give him? The difference between you and I, is you still live in the smoke of the world, whilst I see it clearly. Yes he does have that potential, every person has that potential, but between the two of us, you, who would ignore this man, and I, who would attempt to help him. Who really is the worse person?

[@Ashitaka255]

oops. 7 months old.

[@marquisdejolie]

I'm guessing the makers of this video gave the guy some money. I used to take the homeless to free clinics and soup kitchens when I was headed that way myself. Just talking to them as if they were real people brightens their day.

[@tattoogoddess85]

@JustinTvOwning ok? You did not pay rent. That is no ones fault but your own

[@Focker1996]

Terrible picture quality!

[@guitarphone]

@megandavis2011 youre damn right.

[@mattman624]

No we don't

[@soylentcowflops]

Yeah... you guys look like you really immersed yourselves in his life... What a pain it would be to not only be homeless but have two annoying college students following you around asking you questions and agreeing with everything you have to say.

[@VIKING33NY]

These people have personality disorders and they need help. We can judge them, but what are WE doing to help them? We have a responsibility to help them. They're people!!! Please don't Judge them...they're not doing well. We need to step in and help!

[@mrbreckles]

Now i dont wish homelessness on anybody but this guy even say's "they mysteriously fired me from my job" then in the next sentence "i moved away and stopped drinking". Hardly a mystery then is it. You're an alcoholic, THAT'S why you got fired. It's his own fault he lost his job.

[@MrMetalcoreMosh]

This comment is amazing. Except you should add instead of the US worrying about the rest of the world worry about their own and house and feed the poor and homeless.

[@quakebox]

poor man, charity is good

[@crackerjohnnybravo42]

damn i love seu jorge

[@Yesica1993]

"Most of my income goes for beer and tobacco." Sorry, but I find it hard to feel sorry for people like that. There are homeless people who do need help. Of that, there is no question. But it sure turns people off from trying to help someone when they admit they accept your hard earned money that you give them out of the kindness of your heart, and use it for booze and cigarettes!

[@grettagrids]

@megandavis2011 and what about those like myself who CAN'T work????? I have LUPUS, live in disabling pain and am on permanent disability. rent here is 400 a month for my studio apartment. I never said haiti could control what happned. i just said WE need to take more charge for our own. oh here is another opinion of mine you won't like. I AM PROCHOICE!!! XD.

[@Juberoos]

Let's see, he had a drinking problem but can't understand why he was fired?

[@Mako2-1]

@grettagrids yea WTF seriously that is horrible dude when i grow up gonna help people like that.

[@HammerOvThor]

The government isn't supposed to take care of the poor or the rich or spend any money or any of that shit. They're supposed to protect our basic rights. That's all.

[@the_stoned_investor]

I do feel bad for the homeless but so many times their problems are due to their own foul ups.

[@blaby4ever]

his relitives dont even help him out how sad

[@doublebreakfast]

1:16 LOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[@808Productionz]

You have absolutely no idea. This man is old, he has no family to turn to, he lost his job, what could you "really" expect from a person that's practically lost everything? Not only is he an older gentleman, he's also homeless, what employer would hire him? I'm going to guess you're barely 16, you have no idea how the world works.

[@mhypersonic]

he could save so much money without smokeing.

[@GeetarAdam]

I'm thinking, thin aura = low self-esteem, so kinda the same difference, isn't it?

[@baseballjmr]

their lives are so bleak that they basically need to use it for some sort of stress reliever. It's understandable. What do you expect? Do you want them to save it and invest in the stock market or something?

[@206robert206]

@grettagrids wow your so nice!

[@youdevil6]

if only there were more caring people in this world it would be a much better place. Why do people have to be such low lifes. GOD!

[@NewBornpt]

@grettagrids What is the difference beetwen you, me, or an Haitian? there´s no difference... Helping a Human beeing in Haity, in USA, in Iraq, etc is the same thing... its helping a Human beeing... We all suffer equal...

[@TheLastSpartan04]

lol true, the main reason people give em money is so they can buy food, if they don't want it starving prevention isn't the case, like you said its for crack or pot

[@RonRay]

I can't find ANY of the rest of this documentary! Part 2 states: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Sony Music Entertainment." WHAT?!!! We can't see this or help this person because of a damned 'SONG' in the background!? This stinks! To Whomever this documentary BELONGS: Can you not go back and remove the copyright BG material from the master? I'll GIVE you some songs that I wrote. I'll even play them for you. Hundreds (thousands) of us probably would! Come on!

[@grettagrids]

@youdevil6 I agree!!! not ALL homeless people are lazy or losers. Some people cannot help their misfortunes. Disabled people sometimes can't work. it's way too easy for people to say shit behind their PC screen they'd never say in RL. I say what I want when I want and am not afraid to speak my mind or opinions to anyone's face. in fact, I prefere face to face arguements.

[@luc649]

I dont think that man would go killing people at night for a beer like some drug dealer...give him a room , food and a beer and a bit of companionship after work and he'd be just fine . PS ...and hope.

[@sportshistorybuff]

I went to Colorado and it didn't work out. Would like to hear more detail about why it didn't "work out" before I form an impression of how sympathetic this guy is. At face value, that sounds like a whitewash statement conveniently absolving himself of responsibility. Like "I had some stuff going on in my life."

[@VictrolaJazz]

1974

[@thekatfan]

hes a jedi >:O

[@genenco1]

I like the comment from Dawn. "They CHOOSE to be homeless" Now, first, I don't agree if they're talking mentally ill, they have too many problems with living much less finding a job. But the able bodied people who walk around begging I give them a full middle finger salute. Sure, min wage sucks, but have you no pride?? Guess not!
