Long story short, some FB friend of mine just got married to some chick from half way around the world, and now he is asking his FB friends to 'donate' for him to go on a honeymoon.  His reason behind deserving such generosity from 3000 nearly complete strangers is that he is 'self-employed' as a musician and the wedding was really expensive.

Who among us wouldn't want to be 'self-employed' in our hobbies.  Hell in my books he should consider himself lucky that he gets paid at all for his hobby.  I know plenty of musicians, many much more talented than him, who work real jobs just to pay for their hobby.

I am so fed up with people thinking they are somehow owed something just for being themselves, I called him out (and not in the politest way) for being self-important and selfish.  I also put my money where my mouth is, and made a small donation to the Make a Wish foundation.  It would restore a bit of right in the world if I could get a few redditors to do the same with me.
