Description
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Humanities and Social Sciences More with Sleepy as he refers to himself as “lowlife,” emergencies at the slabs, the affluent (“the people who are affluent will not patronize those who are not affluent”), religion (“I have trust in the Lord”), the economy (“waiting for a job that is not available”), his home cooked stew and his own plans to leave the slabs. Sleepy has an interesting way with words while speaking on these different topics and also has a curious way of referring to himself in the third person.
