A good day

So I knew yesterday was going to be a good day when I was able to walk by both Starbucks and Diesel Cafe without being approached by any of the kids repping Save The GreenPeace Children from Masspirg.  Then I started to wonder, why is it that these guys can so relentlessly solicit donations everyday, yet if they were to put down their clipboards and strap on a guitar and play for donations they could be ticketed or asked to stop for performing without a permit.

What's up with the priorities around here.  I'd much rather be passing by a street performer than a political missionary.

No joke! I've been unemployed for the last month and so now when the pan handlers and solicitors beg for donations I can honestly say I'm unemployed and poor which helps alleviate some of my guilt burden. Rahr.

My favorite incident came about two months ago when I walked the twenty minutes from home to Mikes in Davis to custom order a slice of pizza, I had been craving something awful, to take home with me. No sooner did I walk out of Mikes then some hippie girl with a guitar sitting on the ground all lazy like, "CAN I HAVE A PIECE OF PIZZA!?!!" uhhhh, "No you may not I just custom order 1 slice, I have none to share". "OH FINE BE THAT WAY!"
