The most valuable lesson I ever learnt as a "greenie" was selling energy door to door. I lasted four days before I stopped selling my soul, and it told me more about how the world works then twelve years of schooling. I find it funny how we are all just selling each other shit, but the interesting shit is just sold with passion. I haven't seen the movie but I plan to watch it tonight. I enjoyed your tale of the hustle on the street, it was entertaining and relatable on a personal level. I wonder if whale riding is a better metaphor then whale catching.
