Street Smarts

I think that if you are an aspiring musician trying to raise money to help you in pursuit of your life's passion, you should probably not play your guitar and sing on the side of a the West Park Toll Road with a sign that reads, "trying to make it."  For one, the cars will fly past you because they're going at or above the speed limit.  For another, no one will hear you, because they will be in their cars flying past you going at or above the speed limit.  Rather than monetary gain, you're more likely to experience passersby who honk violently as if to say, "PICK A NEW VENUE!!!!!!! or, "YOU'RE A DUMBA**!!!"  Only when you're able to decipher the difference between the two morse-codes-of-a-honk, will you finally discover a most valuable lesson from the streets - strategic planning is everything.
