    he's an old badass alcoholic, too. rude to the core. but fun. he can play a banjo and sing dirty songs to you in a heartbeat. LOUD. very loud. and he's got a huge scar across the back of his head from where he fell off a ship. but he's funny as hell and people like him a lot.

    haha, oh snap!

    okay, you called me out, and rightfully. I wouldn't call them chick jeans per se, but I am a total androgynous pussy.

    chicks at all the cool Brooklyn dives do dig them, though. maybe you should get a pair and consider a light cocaine addiction, maybe your luck will turn around.

    I know, but you're making me blush anyway. thanks.

    I feel this is a good moment to use the red faced emoticon with the squiggly smile, but I think I've been playing it out too much. what the hell: :&

    NY was the first area to turn against Bush. I give them some credit for not being as gullible as other parts of the country.

    my mother's identical twin sister was married to a new york bus driver. well her and all her sisters grew up there. i'd have to say "meh" though.

    i'll give them one thing, anonymity being freedom, the're certainly generous with letting other people in that sense be free.

    actually i think somewhere in their hearts that's their intention. which the hide with almost fanatical fervor, out of fear the'll be taken for being as gullable as the rest of humanity if the didn't. which is a kind of ironic gullability itself.

    but then that's what makes any culture its own unique self.

    other people see that as a cold kind of krustiness, but i can see their point in a distant kind of way. still i'd hate to have grown up there as a kid. there's so much i'd be ignorant of if i had. although that's mostly true of any city.

    machines are cool. people are insane. but nature is where the air we breathe comes from. (people in cities don't seem to understand the need for breathing mixture)

    so there's a lot good and bad can be said for any place. i'd just hate to have grown up there and known nothing else. it's more then a little disconcerting that so many people who make decissions affecting the future of humanity and of the planet have grown up in similarly myopic contexts.
