This one girl asked me 20 questions before indicating her refusal to take a flier by glaring at me. Why would some little twit prefer to sneer and interrogate me about what the flier says, rather than just read the damn thing herself? Why wouldn't you stop for a minute and check out what kinda concert this guy in the bright green shirt is promoting?
I'm wearing a damn BRIGHT GREEN SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!! With a little prismatic heart pinned to my breast. Isn't that reason enough to see what I'm going on about? Punkass fake hippie. I bet he talks all this love and brotherhood crap to bed chicks, when the fact is that he's a hateful, anti-social weenie.
Weenie. Little Israel twit. I hope her nails break. YEAH, I'm spiteful. And I'm raising funds to help the enemy.
Now I understand why i like the religious community. Even if some folks might be a little too tripped-out or pious or racialist or smelly or if they use "it's all good man, it's all from Hashem," as a mode to evade personal responsibility, at least they're frickin' NICE. If you walked up to a "hippie" Yid with a flier for a concert, he'd definitely check it out. And invite you for Shabbes. And comment on your great shirt.

By the way, I need a replacement for "hippie" to describe the community. We sure ain't all hippies. I was never a hippie. I mean, I guess like 75% of the commnunity likes the Grateful Dead, or did at some time, but i feel like "hippie" disenfranchises someone like me, who might be better labelled "Well-Travelled Suburban Funk." Because I'm not a hippie.

I hit a moment today at the print shop where I couldn't speak English or Hebrew. Total brain freeze. I want a burrito. And a day on the beach. I haven't been to the beach all summer.

Oh yeah. It took about 11 tries to get that photo. In the first seven I was smirking horribly. Bad actor. No gold statue.

They must be from New York ;)
Good luck on the concert, I do hope it will turn out well.
And that green shirt is quite the color. I can't imagine anyone would be able to miss you in it at least.
Well, at least all of that angst has got you looking trim and 80's-retro hip.
Maybe try spinning the charity concert a bit differently, with emphasis on the free joints, Ben & Jerry's ice cream and CD's that will be handed out, all of which are not guaranteed.
I haven't been to the beach this Summer either. It's pathetic. Maybe I can get Jason and Sarah to go with me on a lil day trip.
Disappointment in life is a matter of life itself..People are interested in themselves and therefore Stuart who is trying to do a good deed gets pushed aside by many people who are possibly afraid,anxious fearing his (good) looks and his manner of dress. Unfortunatley few strangers will enbrace your ideas and trying to just do good deeds. You have good thoughts and ambitions. It is a strong man that can continue these ideas while being kicked and pushed into the ground. Keep your chin up. This can happen to you in the States and even Israel...Stay strong and do what has to be done.
So, keep your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds, your finger on the pulse of the nation, your mind out of the gutter, your handkerchief in your pocket, your hand lotion on the nightstand, the faith, your shirt on, your chin up, your hopes high, your hands to yourself (she said don't tell me no lies), your voice down, your friends close, your enemies closer, on truckin', on a rockin' me babe, and keep reaching for the stars!
uhhhh, okay, well, i love the shirt(and the pin) and totally would have given you a second if not a third glance if i saw you on the street...but you know that. people are just antagonistic when you catch them at the wrong time. remember the woman in the car in atlanta. she's in the south, so who's to explain this stuff you keep coming up against.
if the concert falls through you can use our donated funds to treat yourself to something fun.
