Tonight in Brooklyn
people sit alone and read to themselves while listening to vinyl from before they were born. Others in a group will sing along to the songs they know and talk during the more obscure tracks. Someone brought a joint and that’s passed around. A giggle turns into a laugh and the others lose themselves in silliness. No one has any idea what time it is.

Tonight in Brooklyn
the cocaine sticks, and the razor blades have condensation on them. The dark bars hide excess and the joy of a neat bourbon, but the occasional cigarette smoker briefly breaks the curiosity with wails of an incomprehensible language. The hair on the gypsy girls downstairs naturally falls into Jatayein coils that remind you of your crazy girlfriend from college that lives somewhere on the island....

Tonight in Brooklyn
everyone looks 20, and smiles a lot when you walk by them. They’re hopelessly smitten with their place in life, and can’t wait to find out what comes next. I don’t have the heart to tell them.

THERE IS NOTHING MORE COMMON THAN UNSUCCESSFUL...
Well except successful people without talent who believe they’re talented because of the success.

Re: 100 days
Just wanna thank my buddies in New York, Boston, Philly, Rochester, Japan, France, San Fran, Seattle, etc for all the support. I couldn’t have done it without all of your encouragement. For all the people that said there was no way someone like me could stay sober, “Nuts” to you. I just have roughly 14,000+ days to go…

List of [NYC] Blogger Accoutrements
Macintosh laptops. Even the cheap one’s run over $1000. Everyone has one. Every single person that’s ever been paid on the island of Manhattan for writing on the Internet has a Mac. ha. ha. ha. ha. Ha. There is a noticeable disdain emanating from the peanut gallery of every coffee shop in Brooklyn where I’ve had the temerity to bring my $450 Compaq to write. A tumblr anon once...

Complaints about being too insidery when they’re i______y.
You like to drink. Got it.
Don’t pretend to be hardcore. Just. Don’t. You can’t be hardcore if you’re able to post 8-12 times...

You need something, but you avoid your go-to bodega that’s right down the street since they don’t take cards, and you can’t afford the $2 surcharge from both the ATM itself and your fascist bank. So you go to a Bodega that you know takes cards. When you get there, the thing you’re looking for is no where to be found, unless you want to use Myloplex in your Hamburger...

Your Favorite VYou Account For The Next Five Minutes Ask A Trucker http://vyou.com/askatrucker Riveting.
My Uncle Bill is a trucker. This is basically just ask your extended family a question, and I do that on the holidays. Media people are so bourgeois, it’s why Abe exists.
NYC bloggers probably haven’t ever cleaned a bathroom.

I'm not a commenter either Doctor →
Just a guy that thought commenter was taken, and liked the idea of you all commentating rather than commenting.
