Second Chances
This video is of a homeless man in Columbus, OH who used to be an addict/alcoholic but has two years clean. Rumor has it he was offered a job or will be offered a job formally by a radio station. Embrace those second chances man, that's what it's all about.

Wow, apparently this guy has become big time - he is booked to appear on the Today show and has several offers waiting for him already. Good for him!

I saw this on the news about 5 minutes ago. Very inspiring. I hope with the new pressures he stays clean.
