1. When a major car accident takes out all lanes of a highway, New Yorkers will take out the lounge chairs from their trunks, break out the beer coolers, and toss the most incredible, impromptu party in the middle of traffic.

2. On 1010 WINS, a reporter was covering a murder and interviewed several people on that street. One guy a few houses down ( Read more... )

So anyway this fanvid with the best song ever which prompted me to go looking for it in five different stores. But it was worth it considering I had to put up with this on the N train manhattan bound:

So I'm sitting on the train minding my own business, listening to BTE when a group of junior high kids board the train and starts staring at me. I ( Read more... )

So apparently, the post office doesn't open until 9:30. I wish someone told me this at 8:30, but oh well. While I was waiting in line I saw this 8x8x8 mailing carton and I bought it because it was cute and adorable and it told me to ("Buy me. I'm so box-like and small and compactable"). So now Boxey Troy is living in my room as a snack container ( Read more... )

Dear Crazy Computer Nazi Nun,

Touch my shoulder again and I will hack off your fingers one by one.

Love,

Dear Best Buy,

Thank you for hiding the BSG S1 DVDs in your back room. I nearly cried in the middle of the room because I couldn't find them.

Smad,

Sam M: Ummm. Yeah that could be a problem.See-

Dear Acclaim,

I bought your Alias video game in hopes of scoring some kick ass martial arts moves. So far, Sydney has died 7 times. Is this a sign that I'll never make black belt?

Optimistic and stupid,

Dear Stranger who looks like Richard (post-FamilyNest) with Nick Nolte Hair,Pulling me aside on the street to talk about the ( Read more... )

It rained today ending a 3 week drought! Whoo!

It was so strange to hear the pitter patter on the pavement that I actually wondered if that guy in 4-O was pissing out of his window. AGAIN.

Which also brings me to my next topic. Men and laundry rooms. I don't care if you look like Antonio Banderas, it is not cool to hit on someone while she's ( Read more... )

It is not fun to hang out in a seedy, dark neighborhood at 11 PM where some drunken man is smoking weed.

However, it is funny when said flying-high drunkard thinks your best friend is a midget and a puerto rican.

I've been sucker punched by an unusually tall Mexican woman today on the train.Don't believe it huh? Yeah a really tall Mexican...that surprised me too. Anyway, I was at the Jay Street subway stop which was crammed pack with commuters (stupid rush hour). The train finally came after being 5 minutes late and the herd of cattle I'm with shoved their ( Read more... )

Alright, let me just start off with this declaration: I do not hate the pope of Catholicism. I just absolutely hate the damn amount of coverage of His Holiness. After all, I'm sure EVERYONE knows a new pope has been elected (But if you've been in a coma....NEWSFLASH...I'm positive if we got Larry Hoff to announce it everyone would know we have a ( Read more... )
