could you help the girlscout pls..

i finally gather all my will to write a blog, just because out of the blue at 1 pm today somebody's knocking at my door. and i live in a condo, not too many times a got a knock on my door. usually people buzz me from the main entrance. so, surprisingly i opened the door and found this skinny 14-15 years old girl politely talking to me about her dream to go to Paris. ... huh?

here we go. she said that she could win a contest to paris, if she collects enough points or something like that. she asked me three innocent questions, if i were a candy, what candy would i be? i said m&m's because i'm sweet, colorful, and you can't have just one. well, i didn't really say all that, just because i like them thats all. cool. second question, if i could live besides here in chicago, where would i live? i said someplace warm and she quickly went to the third question what are two of my hobbies? and i said, i like to play my guitar and the other one would be sports.

now the catch, to collect points she has to sell magazines subscriptions to people. and today i'm those people. alrite... i had to be a bad guy today, not just because its not good enough cause to help 'her material dream' to go to paris. but, also i just don't see it as a good reason to help those magazine make more money. well, they should make more on the ads than subscribers but they need more circulation to attract more bigger ads. i dont care.. but i have to say, she talked very nice and fluently like a seasoned salesperson. kind of pushy, looking every button to push to make people guilty not helping her and using her innocent looking teen face to get what she wants.

not this time kid. i have enough organizations sending me 'donation bills' and it just started from 1 to 'whoknowshowmany'. i have all kind of animal organization from pig, horse to seals asking money for their sake. what ever... not today
