Andreas and I are very different in how we handle our lives. Your assessment is, for the most part, correct...he's quieter, but not very humble. Righteous, one might even say. Paisley: yes.

The way my mind has been tripping on reality lately, if I tried to do it this week I'd break down in tears, and then I'd have to throw a gargantuan pity party for myself and all my friends would come and then we'd all drink too much tequila and miss work and be all hungover and crabby. Yeah, yeah, shameless addict to all that is good that is bad for a person is going to be my first topic on self-dep :) I am so loving this self-dep week of suckage! :) and I hope you don’t mind if I co-op it in a few weeks.

I do hand out to some, but I'm *very* picky. Here's a story to match yours...I was on South St in Philly after a show one night, and I watched some guy panhandle for a while. Then he overturns his styrofoam cup into his hand, seperates the pennies from the silver, and tosses the pennies. To sum it up...you'd be surprised how many of the panhandlers you may encounter are "professionals" and make a pretty damned good living at it too; sometimes, even, better than those they bum from. As I said- I'm very picky about who I indulge...usually just an old blind lady locally known as "The Flute Lady", as she plays her recorder, rocking back and forth. As someone who came within a whisper to being homeless *twice* of my own fault, I can say that most are in such a state by their own doing, and remain within it by their own hand as well.
