theres the fucking scammer guy who plies his trade around Baltimore and I saw him last night and he pissed me off so anybody who lives in downtown Baltimore there is this guy who will come up to you on the street and he will start out his rap like this..." good evening folks, I am not a robber or a begger, in fact I'm.........." Usually what folloews is some bullshit story about how he is starting up some youth baseball,basketball,soccer league and he needs money to "make these jids dreams come true" sob sob.........He usually has some kind of thrift store team jacket and some sorry ass props like a whistle and a clipboard or some shit. Anyway DO NOT GIVE HIM ANY MONEY ! One summer long ago I gave him the benfit of the doubt. Now I have seen him numerous times throughout the years usually hanging out in front of the Charles theatre or the Meyerhoff ( wherever there are rich old folks abound). I followed him one day after hitting up two or three couples around Mt Vernon and saw him go spend his money at the liquor store so fuck him..........I suppose on one hand some people would say "it's a pretty good scam, I 'll give him the cash" Not I. It really bugs me that he preys on peoples sense of charity, on the other hand the situation pisses me off because it works for him. I would rather just give him money if he asked for it for a drink you know? What he's doing is somehow equivalent in my mind to what those bullshit televangelists do ..swindling people out of their money by promising to "save them". I also hate it when people who are begging for money say "Don't be scared just because I'm black.........Please! like I would really be scared of a grown man with little kid pants and one ratty shoe.. the fact that I see you nodded out on the corner everyday with a giant piss stain in the crotch of your pants is the reason I am not giving you any money.... That always loses points with me...especially because I am half black and you wouldn't know it to look at me but so the fuck what, you know?.......Sorry...the cold is pissing me off.....kill everyone.........mike
