There's nothing wrong with shooting for the stars..just be realistic...and not like these people:

Hey homeless guy..here's an idea, how bout you DON'T stand outside of banks.

Banks are where people go to get 20 bucks or more, not spare change...not even single dollar bills. You're really shooting for the fucking stars when you sit outside a bank asking people who just took a few hundred bucks in $20's out to hit you with something. Here's a better idea...go hang out at arcades. They have change machines there...or laundromats...places conducive to small donations to your beer and popov fund. Begging for change outside a bank is just an immense miscalculation of reality. While you're at it, how bout you go down to the meat market and try and pick up some of the drunken socialites leaving all those shitty clubs? Maybe she'll go back with you to your sleeping bag and give you a handjob.

      I think in times of desperation, you have to retain some semblance of reality in order to get over. People do not give homeless people more then a dollar unless they're scared and from somewhere else. Oh, and if someone offers you free food, take it. Watching homeless people ask for change, get offered food, and then get noticeably offended is pretty depressing. I think it's safe to say that when food is a rare commodity, all personal taste and desire for fine cuisine goes out the window. Just watch people on 'Survivor'.  They'll eat a plate of fried bat dicks if you starve them long enough.

And,

while we're on homeless people...

Hey squatter...what say you don't have a dog.

It's giving away your whole shtick. Real homeless people can't afford to feed themselves, let alone a dog. You can claim "companionship" till your eyebrow ring pops off but you're not some hobo riding trains in the 50's.

You're a teenage asshole from upstate (or wherever) who didn't want to live under your middle/upper middle class parents roof anymore, you're not broke. You have a fucking dog! Go home and feed that motherfucker. If it makes you feel better, curse out your parents and slam the door EXTRA hard but you're being a selfish shitface making that dog live how you've CHOSEN to live. Everytime I see that I just think "Man...I wonder what's going through that dogs head".

It's one of two things:

1) "What happened to that big backyard I used to run around and chase squirrels in?'

2) "food food food food food, I'm cold, food food, I'm cold, food"

And this is coming from someone who could give a shit about dogs...I can't imagine how dog lovers must feel about this.

Guys selling CDs on the street...I mean, their own music, not bootlegs.

I know a few guys who do this who are actually talented MCs. They got sick of the hustle and grind dealing with labels and such and decided to take things into their own hands. But for every one of these guys with talent, there's about 2000 guys who absolutely suck. Walking down the street past Virgin Megastore on broadway has become a problem now cause I can't walk by without getting completely harassed.

"Yo, you like hip-hop?"

Yes...I'm wearing a fitted hat. My clothes are somewhat baggy. I do like hip-hop but it's a pretty broad assumption to think just cause I'm a fan of this genre in general, that I'm obviously gonna love whatever crappy CD that this guy is peddling. Asking me if I like hip-hop is maybe the first question in a 30 page questionnaire you're gonna have to get through to make me even think of listening to the CD, let alone give you my money for that shit. That's like if I had a plate of mystery meat and said "Yo, you like food?" You might be a vegan...or allergic..or not hungry. I understand salesmanship...but there's a thin line between that and pretty much mugging someone in exchange for the CD-R in your hand. They're almost as bad as those greenpeace motherfuckers.

Porn stars having aspirations outside of fucking on film.

It's safe to say that once you've had a guy blow a load on your face on film, you're pretty much guaranteed to never win an Oscar. The fact that porn actress' still think it's a gateway to bigger things, is amazing. who's the greatest success story ever in the history of porn (I mean, in a mainstream film way)? Traci Lords made it into a few John Waters movies. John Waters also casted Divine's disgusting ass in every movie, he's got his reasons. Ron Jeremy has been in a ton of shit...as Ron Jeremy. that doesn't count.

Sorry ladies, the second that cock touches your body on film, it's a wrap for your acting career. Lower your expectations...perhaps one of those porno Oscars for best ass to mouth?
