Today I was grabbing a bite to eat in Noe Valley. As I exited the less than classy Chinese restaurant I came upon the nicest beggar woman I have ever met. I say beggar because who knows whether or not she was homeless, not too many homeless people I have come across listen to ipods. But as I walked by her I was cordial and bestowed a kind smile upon her. She smiled back and then hit me with "spare some change honey?"
I thought this to be ever so interesting. I almost said "no but spare some music tips as to whats good?"
All that came out of my mouth however was "I'm sorry I don't, but have a wonderful day!"
to which she retorted "You too baby".
Apparently my prime demographic are black women aged 45-52 who sit on the sidewalk listening to their ipods and begging for change. In hindsight I should have dropped her .99 cents and told her a good song to download.
I begged for change once, then I voted.
