While not all homeless people are famous, many aren't sad either. Every year when I go camping I pass a small town in VT called Brattleboro. There, a homeless man lives in a tent, with a Stovepipe for heat, along the railroad. He tells many stories of how he was a stock broker in NYC and so on. The people support him and his simple life. I love to hear stories, and this man had plenty. I said goodbye and I was on my way. Some people are quiet but they are screaming with great stories, just waiting for you to hear them.

This was Ted Williams shortly before a complete transformation.
He was a homeless person in Ohio.
Notice the "was".
What is he now?
The Susan Boyle of the streets.
Gifted with a talent, he spoke as if he was a news reporter into a passing camera in a car. After that video In little to no time, became a hit, according to Gawker he has been offered jobs from:
"WBNS-TV has asked Williams to narrate promotional spots for its "One Day to End Homelessness" telethon.
The Ohio Credit Union League presented him with $10,000 in exchange for voice-over work.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have offered him a full-time job and a house.
And the list continues to grow as emails flood in."
This all proves to show how much the internet can change people's lives. In less then one month, all through one post, I have gotten over 10,000 hits from one post that was passed around by the virtual word of mouth. All you need is a talent, a message, a tip, hint, guide, anything that is funny, entertaining, informative or even true to your heart. It seems this man experienced the same thing. There's only one difference: He did it on a larger scale!
