So on the stretch of street that I walk every day between home and work (Yonge, for anyone who knows the territory), it's a rare day that I run into fewer than a half dozen people asking me for money for various reasons. But OMG the guy from World Vision today was so pushy. I mean, I normally at least smile at people because it's polite to acknowledge they're out there doing some pretty thankless work, but this guy chased me down the street to the point where I thought he really needed something, or maybe I'd dropped my wallet. Then, when I politely told him that I did respect what he was doing but I choose to sponsor children through Foster Parents Plan, he started arguing with me. I mean seriously, WTF? Just let it go, man. So I might've been a little rude to him towards the end, but I seriously could not believe him.

Though later on, in case I needed to balance my karma after that incident, I used my spare change to buy a copy of Outreach Connection from a really friendly man on the street corner across from Timmy's instead of crossing the street and picking up an iced cappuccino.

Also, because I haven't done an actual music post in a while, here's a song I've been listening to on repeat lately:

it's a mystery (for the next few seconds, anyway)
